Topic: Where do you store your bitcoins ? - page 15. (Read 13096 times)
50% of my coins are in my mobile wallet so that I can use them whenever I need. About 30% in coinbase and 20% in cold wallet- I am using paper wallets and store them in fire proof safety box.
I have stored my bitcoins at localbitcoin and blockchain.
Any suggestions on where a person who has already purchased bitcoins through Coinbase / circle should store them? I'm open to any suggestions from members. Thanks
For the easiet storage but safe an accessible at the same time you could use a hardware wallet such as ledger and trezor.. If you want to store long term then creating priv key offline and keeping them safe would be the most secure.
I store them in coinbase but not most of my bitcoins, it know that it is not the best idea to store in this "wallet" or this exchange but it has good feature and i don't need anything extra.
The problem with it is that when the website goes offline or in maintenance i have not access to my funds.
I think that the best way it to use paper wallet or hardware wallet such as trezor and ledger which is in my future plans to buy one of them.

I've got not a lot , so all the work on the exchanges !
even though i dont have a lot of bitcoins i store it on a paper wallet, i believe its the safest way of keeping your bitcoins and you can access it at any time
electrum wallet on my laptop, previously i used blockchain.info online wallet but they get problem many times and in that situation we can't access our bitcoins so electrum is best for me

Best is to spend them and then somehow acquire more.
I can advise you to store them to some hardware wallet or to the paper wallets. For the hardware wallet I can recommend you a Trezor. I warn you, I might be biased, it's what I use, but I honestly think it's the best.
You should do your research anyways on all of the methods suggested here and decide by using your common sense!

I always store my Bitcoins in window client bitcoin core latest version.I use online wallet too but for trading purposes only.At start I was on blockchain but sometimes was unable to transfer funds so I permanently moved my funds to bitcoin core wallet.

Online wallet.
Definitely not. Best is offline.

I store my bitcoins in my pc client and always install up to date version which is encrypted with password.For day to day use of course blockchain is my only choice at the moment.
If the amount of bitcoin is small store it in a software wallet, i recommend Multibit HD.
If the amount is "huge", go with cold storage!

If you want to store long term as you should, make an address on bitaddress.org. Do it offline (look it up on youtube). Ideally, do it by booting a Live DVD of Linux on it to guarantee the OS where you create the wallet at is not compromised.
After you do this, what you'll have is a paper wallet that has never seen the internet. You can extract money from there in your money to do purchases.

How would you guys go for instance when you get paid your wages in bitcoin?
Deposit it monthly in your hot wallet and instantly move savings part to cold wallet? Or do you deposit to cold wallet? And how do you get access to those coins again easily while keeping them cold?
I'm thinking lately of how to balance a "savings" and a "spending" account as I'm always moving money around in my normal bank accounts.

Cold (savings) and hot (spending) is a good way to do it
I use Trezor for hot wallet, might also get a Case later
I personally prefer to store my bitcoins on my pc and i am using electrum. I don't recommend storing bitcoins on your mobile as it is more likely to be stolen than your home pc. And always use more than one backups for your wallets. 
And what happens if someone gains access to your pc? They can run off with your wallet easily. This is not a really safe way to store your bitcoins.
