well not all here will share the methods, cause some hackers could collect all the information and then try to develop some methods to steal that kind of info, you know some social engineering stuff really works..
but for me I personally collect all hardware keys on some hard drives disconnected from internet

Hello guys!

I wanna hear your opinions about that.
Where do you keep your private keys? In a safe? In your pocket? In your mind??

My private keys are just in the drawer as if they were worth nothing lol

I was thinking about buying a safe, but I think that big, so hard to hide, and just to store one piece of paper?

Give me ideas please =D

Do what works best for you. Simple is not always a bad thing, but just avoid the obvious (like a safe for example). Also, don't make it too complicated to where you will forget.

I don't recommend giving pieces of private key to random family members because too many factors could go wrong.

In Argentina, Bitcoin's popularity has sharply increased. Any games of central banks with national currency rates contribute to the growth of the population's need to save money using crypto-currencies.

Any rich organization can choose to invest in equipment for mining to control half of the computer's power and acquire the power to block or roll back the latest transactions.

I always make sure to make multiple copies of my private key. I store them safely and make sure that no one has access on it. I write my private key on a paper and aside from it I store a soft copy of it on my hard drive and make sure that whenever I use it my computer is safe. I also make sure that my computer is free from viruses or malware to avoid being hacked when accessing my wallet.

If you use a wallet for Hold, you can write down a private key on paper, break it and hide different pieces of paper in different places. You can also record your private key in electronic form, but a little bit by changing it, known only to you. For example, you can delete the last few characters by remembering them before.

 I keep mine on my notebook in my drawer at home. I saved it also in my cellphone with password on it that only my thumbmark can open, I have also in my USB and I sent it also on my other Facebook account. so that If I lost a copy of it. I have so some copies left but they are all secured and in just one place.
Fantastic, it seems you have successfully managed your assets. This is best approach where you make a copy and save it somewhere else where you can easily recover your data in case of loss or damage. We should make different copies of our important documents and digital data and place them in safe areas where they would become safe and secure. This will help you later on.

I store them on the cloud and also on the desktop of my computer. It's safer to get even more then it's better to store plus to everything on the USB flash drive

I don't have any private keys at this moment because its not that many bitcoins that I am holding right now and no one in our home knows what am I doing so its not necessary to make some ways to keep my private keys.

Regarding to your question, I know one way to keep your private keys and that is very effective. I just watched it on a youtube video. Get 3 sheets of paper. Put the whole set of the private keys into one sheet then keep it in the most secure place you know. Print the half of your keys in another sheet of paper and the other half on the other sheet and then keep it anywhere you like. Maybe in one corner of your house or anywhere.

This for me is good because even they see the half of the private keys, it will be very very hard for them to know your keys because they doesn't have access to the other half.

People say I’m a little paranoid when it comes to backups. I have multiple copies in three different places. Flash drives and printed copies on each location. Better safe than sorry.

I store all information at 2 flash cards (1 as a backup) and with paper sheet. I think it is good practice to have back up for your wallet information

I would say it is never ever a good idea to store your private keys online, if you are willing to spend some money for better security, you could buy a high quality fire resistant safe box and mount it somewhere in your home, and write down your private keys to your bitcoin wallet on a paper and put it inside the safe box.

I keep in my brain and in my life partner's mind.We both know the private keys. I put stock in my significant other and even my better half knows the bitcoin so I believe him to tell he my security code for once that I overlook he is the first to inquire. I'm not keep on the telephone in light of the fact that there is a probability that other individuals can know and even in the cabinet I don't stow away on the grounds that it might pass up a major opportunity and get of other individuals.

You're overthinking it, you can be successfully storing your private keys by putting them onto a USB (or a few USBs) and them putting that USB into a small, fireproof safe, and maybe making a couple copies of that USB and storing them in other locations as well. Write it down on some paper if you think there's a real risk of someone trying to snake your information with a virus or whatever. There's no harm in doing something like that and having multiple backups is the best thing you can do since it's all gone if you can't get the information back.

That is the most important think. You should create multiple backups ans store them in different places. Even if you loose one usb, you can get the desired private keys in another backup that you created. In addition to this, to not forget to tell about this to a close relative. This should be a person you can always trust. In case something unfortunate happens to you, you can expect that person to withdraw the money and distribute it between the family members you want. I know that young people might not like this idea but death is something unpredictable.
