Topic: Where do you store your bitcoins ? - page 16. (Read 13074 times)
It depends on my needs mostly all coins stored into cold wallet but for online gambling activities i keep some coin into my Electrum hot wallet.
Well i have stored 75% of my total into cold storage that storage is on totally different pc which i kept in safe, 25% on different type of hot wallet for my daily trading and gambling activities.
I store them on blockchain.
Some part I stored in paper wallet and other in windows client,on some exchanges and blockchain.I use different place to keep my Bitcoins.All the eggs should not be in one basket so this is my strategy so far.
I store them in Coinbase. I have had some pretty good luck with them and I know people don't like that, but I don't like a lot of the other options that you can use, Coinbase seems quick and easy.
Blockchain for small amounts.
Cold wallet for my savings.

Several options you can choose from. Either you make some paper wallets and store them in a secret place or you use some cold storage, hardware wallet. The best is to safe it 2-3 times imo.
I tend to have a lot on localbitcoins.
But those go quick and I have to replenish them.

For spending and some other purposes, I usually keep it in an Electrum desktop/Android wallet. For large amounts of coins, I keep it in a paper wallet generated offline via bitaddress.org. I do have some couple of bits in some online wallets, but I never did store a chunk in there because personally, I don't trust web-based wallets.
IMO, if you do a lot of transactions then, online/desktop/mobile wallet will be the better option. If you don't do much, cold storage (paper/brain) wallet will be the better option.
And i store some of my bitcoin on online wallet and some at my desktop wallet
and never stored in cold wallet

i found out that having a paper wallet is quite a good cold storage method. i print them on photo paper and then seal it with plastic to make it water proof. you only need to make sure you store them in a safe place where only you have access to.
Cold storage is best to store the Bitcoins.

It depends on the quantity of the bitcoin you own. If you have only few bitcoin you can keep them wherever you want, even online wallet for quick transaction is fine in that case. If you are more advanced user or just being paranoid and ultra secure about your coins then hardware wallets, cold storage and paper wallets are something you should research. But don't bother unless you have more than dozen of btc imo. 
I just store them in coinbase wallet for the time being... but I only have about half a Bitcoin.
Paper wallet for me. I use Mycelium for expenditures.
How much do you spend on things in a week? Keep that much in a hot wallet like blockchain.info
Everything else in cold storage like a paper wallet, Trezor or Case.

Since I don't have a fortune to protect, I just store it on a blockchain wallet
I would use few methods together: I mainly store coins on my blockchain.info wallet (which I have exported the private key to mycelium android wallet), some on phone, some on different exchanges, and most rare, paper wallet. I use few methods together to reduce the risk of losing coins on a single source.

A few places is best.... cold storage, unused laptop, i also sometimes keep 2-5% on exchanges for buying into litecoin or for selling BTC on a crash.
