Depend on the amount involved and whether you are willing to spend money on security. Will also depend on whether you plan to access the funds on a frequent basis and or whether you plan on putting it away for a longer period.

If you do not want to spend anything and you are saving it for the long run then paper wallets are the way to go. Make sure you follow the instructions on doing this right, just search the forum for details.

If you do not want to spend anything but want to have access to the funds then install Electrum, Multibit or similar and make sure that you make a proper backup of the seed while setting it up. Keep this backup offline i.e. write it down and put it in a safe, do not email it to yourself and or keep it on your computer.

You can up the security by making sure you use a secure password and you can also enable 2 factor authentication. Make sure your computer is not compromised by running something like MalwareBytes and make sure your anti-virus is up to date. Added to this do not do anything that will compromise your computer.


If you are willing to spend some money then look at one of the hardware wallets like Ledger, Trezor etc.. There is a thread with reviews on most of these. Prices range from around $15 to $200.

Make sure you set up 2-factor on your blockchain.info account. You can also back them up or send them to a paper wallet I believe directly on the site.

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,

4 USD is really a small amount , people won't even bother them selfs to try to hack you or anything ,

Not true. If he gets malware it will take whatever coins he has whether its a satoshi or 1000btc.
i guess you are right though 4 dollars are not worth the effort creating the wallets i guess

Fill Your Barrel with Bitcoins!
Paper wallets are by far the safest.

Use a reputable service like BitAddress.org

1. Use an incognito/private window to visit the site.
2. Unplug your internet connection
3. Generate Bitcoin addresses
4. Print out
5. Send funds
6. Store paper wallet somewhere safe

 for me you should earn more bitcoin... and then invest it in a gambling site.
it is the wisest way. but watch out for scammers... so its all up to you..

Then print a paper wallet, put it into a safe place and move your bitcoins there.

for small money as 4 dollars online wallets are ok as it wouldnt be too big of a loss, though the safest free way of keeping it is creating a paper wallet offline
