I guess the simplest and safest way to keep your bitcoin would be with Blockchain.info. Depending on what you want to do with your bitcoin, this web-based wallet is probably the safest and simplest. You can also take a look at the Ninki wallet
it's not the safest, i would avoid any online wallet, usually because safety come first than simplicity
i would point my attention on local wallet only and cold stuff, the rest is not secure at all
Places like Coinbase are insured, though, so if they're hacked, you're protected. Doesn't protect your password, but it's a good way to hold a hot wallet and make it easily accessible.
First my greetings to the forum on bitcoins because I am interested in currency, including already have registered my blockchain with only $ 4 ...
However, what is the safest way to store them? Is there a way to deliver them in paper money, or some kind of title? I am the IT area, and I think it will be a lot of work having to do several portfolios. And I have no other internet without computer or a printer, to remember.
I appreciate everyone's attention,

because showing your private key its like giving your money from them"

Except that if I want to save a considerable amount of money, but in bitcoins.
Then print a paper wallet, put it into a safe place and move your bitcoins there.
Google for paper wallet generator. There are many tools that will let you sign and push a transaction with your private key.
Make sure when you make a paper wallet it's on a computer that seems to be clean. If you can do a fresh install OS and install updates, and anti-virus then do this is best.
I would not use normal internet surfing computer to do this. Or one that is a public computer. I guess kinda common sense stuff on some of it.
While your tips were good, you forgot a big part. DO NOT take that computer online! Preferably ever. That means keep it off the network, as well. You don't know what malware could be lurking still.
the easiest way for everyone to make a bitcoin wallet is to use an online wallet like blockchain.info but this way is the least secure way of keeping your coins.
since you don't have any other pc, you can turn off your router and use a live linux on a CD to boot up and there you can have an offline OS which is secure and then make a paper wallet that way.

I use my trezor and I like it much better than storing my bitcoins on paper. It's easy to use and it's a great device to have, $120 isn't that much to pay for a safe!
P.S. if you are considering to purchase the trezor wallet, I would wait until black Friday to check out their sale.

for me the safest and simplest method to store my bitcoins is a paper wallet but if you want more safe buy hardware wallets
Paper wallet is the best. Make sure it is generated using a offline computer. Do not use brainwallets (my personal suggestion).
Back when the 'horse battery staple...' phrase was known, many people are using brainwallets as their main wallets. It is a very good and secure wallet, if you can memorize your phrase and you're sure that the 'randomness' in that wallet cannot be cracked by computers.
easiest way for a secure brainwallet is download electrum and let it create seed words. those are not crackable, at least not for now.
Those are MORE crackable than creating your own. Theirs come from a select database. When you do it yourself, the possibilities are endless.
I don't agree with you either. This is programed in a way that you get a good password entropy each time. I think this is above 128 bits normally. When you create your own password, you must create a very strong password and the problem is that people are terrible password makers.
So if a person is not sure what's doing, is better just to trust a program and its creators.

I disagree. I don't think you know how the words are created. https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.1632127
much more secure than anything a human can come up with by default
