Have yet to buy bitcoin. Whats the best way to move usd from my bank to a bitcoin wallet? I use blockchain

Coinbase as far as I know allow you to buy BTC using your bank account . (coinbase is a online wallet just like blockchain.info)

I believe coinbase will be the easiest if you want to store btc and usd on the same website. I wouldn't recommend leaving that much btc there in case the site somehow goes sideways

★Bitin.io★ - Instant Exchange

Can someone point a noob into a good path for protecting my BTC? I currently use Bitcoin Wallet QT or what ever its called. I have backups across all my drives and 2 USB drives.

In the event my drive fails, do you just restore wallet.dat into the BTC directory?

How do I achieve a hard copy backup(paper)? Do you need to create a paper backup every single time your balance changes? Do you need to create a soft copy backup everytime your balance changes?

Multibit , simply it dosen't require any blockchain downloading , simple to use , Importing & Exporting Private keys Grin

but I found electrum better since you can recover it from the twelve words thing

Which Bitcoin Client do you use and why ? If you use web wallets, please do mention which one is your choice and why ?

I use multibit, but its been a big problem in the recent days. I get fake balance in some of my wallets(specially while using multiple wallets)
and when I spend it(not knowing that actual balance was less), then it shows the triangle sign for no confirmation, and I have to reset the client to fix it.

Blockchain.info. Months ago I was an idiot and downloaded a RAT of some sort and took away a few coins. Ended up costing me thousands over some stupid shit I got myself into. I can access the site from anywhere so it's more convenient.

I store everything in Hive, with a 35 character passphrase, backed up to Google Drive and Dropbox.

I should probably be using paper wallets, but don't like the idea of having to rely on wherever I end up storing the paper.

Google Drive and Dropbox !!! Your coins are awaiting to be stolen.

That guy wrote that he had the password stored in plain text there, if I understand correctly. If you have a reasonably long password and you don't keep it in the open, it shouldn't be a problem to keep the wallet in a cloud backup.

Your keys are going to need to be encrypted. Once you establish that your keys should be encrypted, you need to figure out a way to detect when someone has accessed your cloud account and have access to your encrypted wallet. As long as you can detect this quick enough, and still have access to a backup then the encryption should give you enough time to create and push a TX that empties your now compromised wallet into a newly created wallet/address with a different passphraise to decrypt

I am still using multibit and Xapo, since I haven't faced any complication yet.

I currently use Paper Wallets for cold storage, Bitcoin Core for my PC and I have a blockchain.info-wallet+android app with small funds, but I think I will mostly use Mycelium for Smartphone use.("will" because there are still not much places in Austria, where I can pay with Bitcoin, besides Online-Stores)

After 5 years, still trusting bitcoin-qt. The whole blockchain is at my disposal, and I can easily Torify it and can swap wallets.
