It is better to just deposit it in one account, for more control and with the best security caracteristics that can offer the vitual wallet you are saving your bitcoins.
I agree with keep in one account then it will mempermudahkan us to control, we must also be more meticulous and careful in storing your money especially if this is bitcoin. don't forget we have to add the key so outsiders can't access in our accounts. When we save in the form of money that would be more secure in a bank in the real life.

I keep all my bitcoins in an online wallet at different sites. All the sites just will not run. It certainly creates some inconveniences due to the large price transactions, but first I'm not wasting my coins and maybe in the future I'm going to use large transactions, and secondly after August 1 was going to solve the issue. Wait and see.

I'm also keeping and storing my bitcoin in an online wallet and I have only one wallet as of now because my account is only one also but I'm planning to make another account next time if my current account would rank up to Sr. Member. Storing bitcoin in an online wallet is risky because in that particular situation people would possibly scam because there's a lot of scammers in this world. I must suggest to store your bitcoin in the safest bank near at your place to make sure it is safe.
I don’t think so keeping bitcoins in your e-wallet is risky. You can keep them as long as you want in your wallet for the security offered is great. If we talk about scammers, then becoming their victim is extremely our fault. Banks are also hacked often.

I recommend keep your funds maximum in bprivate key holding wallet . I have funds devided in 3 category
1) Blockchain and MEW other private key holding wallets
2)Trading Exchanges for Buying and selling(Bittrex,yobit etc)
3) Local Exchanges foe keeping money to withdraw for emergency.

Hi,


Just wondering , is it safer to keep money at an exchange like place poloniex or kraken what not or a wallet like Electrum?

It is very neat to have it all in one place like an exchange, for example, I currently mine and use their address to deposit my earnings for bitcoin I used to give my Electrum address but now I'm thinking it's better to just keep them at one spot?

Pros and cons of one vs another?


TIA
Its never been safe to keep your coins or bitcoin all in on an exchange wallet the risk involved on losing those money is high since you don't really posses the privatekeys of it which means only exchange owners do have access which means whey they do down or a problem do rise they can anytime ran off with the money since you don't have the possession of keys which means you coins are lost forever unlike on those wallets that you do have access on its keys do always have an advantage.

Why not stay on using Electrum? It is the best application for me that is really secured.
Seeds are better than having an Email address and password which can be easily hacked.
You will just have to keep the copy of your seeds in a safe place.
Poloniex could have some problems with their website and that is the risk of keeping it there.

Yes, electrum is safer than other wallets. This is the best place to store your bitcoins and as a matter of fact. I tried to send now my wallet from exchange to my electrum wallet. And this is one of my preparation for the upcoming fork this coming August 1. Web wallets aren't safe at all, you don't have the private keys and they can be offline anytime.

Pros of saving them at an exchange would that you'll be able to buy/invest any altcoin instantly, providing they are also present in that exchange. That is probably the only pro for this.
But cons are many, security, losing all your funds, not actually owning your money, not able to buy instantly, or send funds to someone instantly.
Recommendation would be to always save on your own wallet, and only keep that amount on funds you would like to use for trading.

The safest way to store money is to put it in your own house,just think of the millionairs that didnt have bank accounts,because its the safetest way.For bitcoin you should put it to bitcoin wallets.And as the money grows you should keep it in your house

Putting in your house is not a applicable answer because the one we involve here is bitcoin and we all knoe that bitcoin is a digital currency. We must know where wallet we would store it. Like blockchain, polonoex. Like that
 But for me the safest wallet is blockchain because it has access in your mail so thay you dont need to worry.

I think the best way to save money is to put it in a very secure wallet like coins.ph or blockchain becuse if you only store your money in exchager like waves, bittrex or others it may able to go down the value and sometimes because of advnce computer it can be hacked and then it will all gone in just one snap.

Usually, people usually say the safest place to keep money is bank. Previously when bitcoin is unknown, I also think so. I do not deny the bank's safety. But when you keep the money in your wallet is much safer, bad guys are hard to steal my information.

I also prefer bitcoin wallet since it's safe and very versatile it can also your way of investment  but I don't kept it on one wallet i made different account, i also buy gold and keep it as an additional investment

Of course its always be better if we store our bitcoin in different wallets, maybe 3-6 wallets will be fine. Much secured from getting hack.
Storing your coins in some exchange is like exposing your private key or seeds into public. Like they'll access it anytime and you don't have assurance that it will not be lose. Better be careful than losing all.

Using online wallet is good and safe rather than holding your money inside your pocket but putting everything in one wallet account I think that would be too risky you can have multiple account online and maybe still used banks in storing/saving your btc in that sense you lessen the risk of loosing everything in an instant also if ever bitcoin value decreases at least you have transfer some of them to your bank account.

I do prefer bitcoin wallet because with BTC wallet,there is security. It offers bookkeeping, portability and simple ways to give and receive cash.It’s rather like an online bank account, but even simpler to use. Each BTC is a unique solution to a mathematical problem, consisting of a short string of text which represents a figure. Let’s say you give someone a coin or fractional coin – the text string changes as it enters their wallet, and once a global network validates the transaction, your original coin is invalidated and the new coin becomes theirsoffer security. It offers bookkeeping, portability and simple ways to give and receive.

Well, I keep bitcoin in online wallet because I know that my bitcoin and money is safe and secure. In addition to that, putting in online wallet will help you to keep your bitcoin safe.However, some people and bitcoin users keep their bitcoin in offline wallet or hardware wallet that you need to install to your computer.
