Get desktop wallet and stake those coins man, you have to wait 24 hours before they are mature to be eleigible but your going to get 10% a year staking.

i keep holding my coins on pc and my VPS where can stake 24/24 everyday  percent increase .

some altcoin i hold paper wallet .

the safer place to hold any coins is on the desktop wallet
just download gere https://nebl.io/wallets
but for faster profit you can hold in exchange, so you can sell the coin in any price with pending order

Smart to move it of the exchange . Just put it on a desktop wallet.

Make sure you save your private key's and you are good to go.

I would advise not to hold a large portion of tokens on an exchange.  Any exchange could collapse and you would lose all of your funds.  Or they can change the rules and you can't access your account because of your country of residence.  I would advise, depending on the cryptocurrency, getting a hardware wallet or a windows/apple/linux wallet suited for the cryptocurrency you hold.  At least it is saved on your desktop and nobody can lose your coins.

better use desktop wallet to keep your coin,
so only you that have a control on it

The safest way to hold a long-term coin is in a cold storage either paper wallet or physical devices both have some advantages and disadvantages, but if your coin project is had a feature of staking or master node you better keep it on a computer that runs at 7/24 and set a strong encryption on that computer and set a specific IP address that can only access that computer

Do all you can to hold you coin in a wallet where you have control of your private keys. It could be desktop client even sometime app or web wallet. The most important thing to note is your private key.

i think i will prefer to hold in desktop wallet or android wallet because its too risky if we hold the coins in the exchanges but i think the exchanges like cryptopia, poloniex, bittrex, and other else will give protection for their customer. so you can choose what do you like and if its possible, you can split your balance into exchanges and private wallet for desktop or android so you can have the other amount in other wallet and you can waiting if somehow the price is increase.

I always hold on a desktop wallet, but if it's a lot of coins, I'll hold in a paper wallet that I have backed up in several places. I like having them on a desktop wallet, though, because then I can stake my coins and that's an easy 10% extra per year. Pretty good gains considering that I'm in some airdrops, like Deeponion, that reward heavily so I have a ton of new coins coming in each week. Staking them is just a happy bonus  8)

Most of my coins are held on exchanges. I'll be transferring some of the large funds to dedicated desktop wallet within the end of the year as I had a very bad experience with bittrex. No exchange can be fully trusted.

The best place is the wallet you control the private keys, I will suggest Desktop but becareful with Android wallets because of all these vulnerabilties detected in the OS

if you want to get fast from this coin / all coin you need to store them in exchange.but if you want to store them for long term obviously desktop wallet is best and safety.

if neblio you can save it in desktop wallet, download here nebl.io/wallets but sometimes there are coins that do not have a desktop wallet so you can just keep it in exchange only.

Electrum on unix systems

Cryptopia is a so much pretty exchanger I think and of course it is safe.But personally I prefer https://bittrex.com and this is my favorite exchanger I fee safe this exchanger.

Desktop wallet is the safest

Most of my tokens and airdrop rewards are on MyEtherWallet and some on my waves wallet. While my precious altcoins are on Coinomi and for my Bitcoin, I'm using a local online wallet. Online wallet are more convenient to use and more accessible but offline wallets and hard wallets are much more secure.

Some in exchanges, some in mobile wallet and some in hardware wallet. I diversified my coins, it is safer instead of holding all in hardware wallet.

I use offline wallets for storing my private keys and addresses of my coins. I believe that this is the safest way of storing coins. Any online wallet could be potentially risky. I am using offline wallets for almost all coins that I plan to hold for a longer time. I also keep a small amount of coins on the exchange for easy trading. One of the reason why I keep it on the exchange is a transfer cost each time when you move your coins from a wallet to the exchange, and from the exchange to the wallet.
 

If you are willing to keep long time please keep in desktop or nano. Other if you keep very short time keep it in exchanges with 2fac .  Otherwise you can use dedicated wallets.

Me myself keeping in exchanges

 :(
in general, everyone keeps their money on the bitcoin stock exchanges but it is not safe for them to develop these usb money stored in the metal money you can throw here again

when you make an investment like this first you have to be fairly certain that you are going to make that kind of profit and not just have a feeling or have a wishful thinking about it!
there are many coins like this which may look promising and you may think you can make a lot of profit in long term but you will be disappointed when they stay the same or drop all  year long and then only rise in a month or about 2 weeks and then back to falling.
so plan accordingly.

as for wallets, others have said it already. use a desktop wallet. you can always install them on an offline computer and use it as your "cold storage". in fact it is usually the exact same as bitcoin. so you can use cold storage articles about bitcoin to create an altcoin version.

Keeping on exchange site or web wallet for as short as one week is long term because these people can wake up one day and come up with a change in policy that would take effect immediately without recourse to your feelings or investment because to them, its secondary. Another is the way they are subjects of targets which is on a continual basis and because hackers will not notify you of their heist, you are further at their mercy.

The best way to store big amount of coins is to store them in exchange but that is only if you want to store for short term but if you want to store them for long term then store them in desktop wallet, that is the safest way to store coins.

For me even you hold it for short term don't store your coins in exchanges like if something will happen in their site you can't blame all the mistakes to them, at the first place they didn't tell you to store your coins there.
Just always store your coins where you hold private keys, it's better be safe than end up to nothing.

better saved on the desktop, but must be careful, if the desktop is damaged. so backed up after saving on the desktop.

if I keep it in the online wallet, it's a risk,
but I believe in myetherwallet and etherdelta

I'm usually hold at exchanger because I'm kinda afraid if I keep download on other wallet , it's contain malware especially when there were many ICO occur


Well I'm suggest for not download any new wallet because there is high risk for getting infect on malware

If you are holding neblio, use the desktop wallet so you can stake until you are happy about where the price is and then put it back and sell it for something else. Just be smart and remember to diversify your portfolio. Good luck man and keep reading. Information is power.

Man just use Electrum Desktop Wallet. It'll take care of everything!

P.S sounds strange, huh?

An offline wallet is better than other exchange/online wallet.
Exchanges can disappear with your money, but at this moment i'm using MyEtherWallet to hold my coin/token

I hold some of my coin on exchange and some in wallet but I prefer it on exchange because I will be able to sell quick when it pumps.

No, the safest way to store a coin is in cold storage, then keep it private and secure, if you want to save your Coin on exchange there is a possibility your account got hacked or the exchange get hacked, so make sure you use strong password and enable 2-factor authentication if you want to hold in exchange, and if you store it on a mobile wallet there is a chance your phone is missing then you can't recover your coin

In my view, you should store it in your wallet. Hackers are becoming more and more dangerous. No one can sure that It is safe to store your coins in their exchange.

I have some of my coins that I put in exchanges, I know it's quite risky but I don't want to get some hassle when I want to trade or when those coins that I've got on hold are pumping. That makes me confident that I will not miss the chance of selling it earlier. But most of the volumes of my coins are stored on desktop wallet, there's a lot of it that allows you to hold your private keys too.

I am currently using %40 of my crypto coins in trading account. and %60 of my wallet is inside of ledger nano.
I am not sure that exchange services are secure enough to put all eggs in.

Seen far too many horror stories of people being hacked and losing everything so I keep mine offline.

Many says the safest wallet is on the desktop wallet and that wallet now I store my coins, yes they are right I think it safe because I'll be the one who knows the private key in my wallet and that's nothing to worry. I plan to store here my coins for long term period.

It all depend on what you want to use the coin to do. If you're planning to keep your coin for a long period of time I suggest you get a paper wallet or make use of an offline wallet. But you're looking for a safe exchange whereby you sell the coin anytime I think yobit is safe cause they never had any issue of stolen, freeze or deactivated customer coin and account.

Some of them are in exchanges some of them in my wallets. It getting hard to track all of them...

why do you recommend desktop wallet? Why is it more secure?

All the coin I have I hold them in exchange only.

Hold on the desktop wallet and stake, there is also an android wallet.

too risky for beginners to do so. because the knowledge is still not too much and not yet know the tricks for this. but you can get information from the discussion in this forum, to get the various information you need as well as the tricks. the important thing you are diligent to read this tread and all the information is here.

I'm hold my all coin in my Bittrex account. Bittrex is a crypto currency Trading site it is a very well known site in this online market. Many people use this site for his extra income. we hold coin and sell thus coin with a very short time and we make money from it.

Your plan is to hold for long-term term for which desktop wallet is the best as I am also holding a few in my desktop wallet. If you are planning to sell your coins I mean if you are intended towards trading then an exchange wallet is the best option. You can easily buy and sell stuff with the exchange wallet.
You must be clear about the wallet source where you are downloading it from because scammers are all around.  ;)

for long term is the best way use desktop wallet. for sort term I using online wallet or I hold in some exchange.

Hold them mostly in MEW and spread out on several exchanges

I choose a wallet that is more secured rather than public ones. Before, I use the wallets in exchange sites to hold them such as Polo (which is also the site I use in trading before). Since the vulnerability of some exchange sites, I became aware and on a defensive mode. Now, I'm using private wallets which are apps that are installed in my computer which I feel more secure rather than the public ones, this only for XMR and NEO coins which I am currently mining.

For ETH and ICO tokens, I prefer MEW which is encrypted and in a KSTORE/JSON file as the wallet is versatile and mostly accepted for Airdrops and bounties.

Generally i would like to hold my  ethereum related  coin in Myethereum  wallet with private key and others etherdelta and BitRex. But i don't trust any exchanger. Still looking for better more than now

I think it is better for security to hold your coins on external hard drive.

I'm not the richest one in crypto but all my coins now are invested in Artoken! I'm looking forward to its success

Download desktop wallet and store it there. If it's ethereum based coin you can safely store it in myetherwallet.com. If it's BTC store it in blockchain.info

As alt-coins I do have 1.19 litecoin, some dogecoins and  some NEO. I hold my Litecoin at Coinbase, I hold my Dogecoins at Dogechain, I hold the NEO at bittrex.
I do not intend to buy other alt-coins (maybe some 10 USD worth of NEO in the next weeks), because I consider that alt-coin investment is less good than bitcoin investment. 99% of alt-coins are no of good, they come and go, 1% of alt-coins can be trusted.

https://www.cryptopia.co.nz is a good exchanger.I think this exchenger is very safe for my coin.But Personally I like https://bittrex.com .Because very easy trade system and many secure system have bittrex.

I hold 40% of my assets at eth, 5% at ATS Token, 5% at VIB token, 35% at XRP, 20% at doge, and the the rest I keep in bitcoin.

I hold my coin on MEW , i think mew its secure , but im using trezor wallet too.
Trezor its not free , but i think trezor have a good system and secure wallet supported with desktop pc/laptop.
But if your coin have a wallet on their website , download their application and use , because their create the wallet application for safe the client balances and easy to access on their coin product.

I'm use coinbase account and My ETH wallet. If someone hold bitcoin and eth they are use coinbase account. coinbase is a very safety for hold bitcoin and eth. When you login your account just click sating button and you can see login pin code . Then you set those code in your choice if you do this system no one can login your account.

As Neblio is not a very well known coins, you are less likely to find a wallet that supports it. Whether a wallet supports a currency depends on the wallet creators, the wallet creators decide whether to integrate a new coin in their wallet and that again will depend on the potential and popularity of the token itself. Have you thought about investing that 600 into some better known coins, like BTC or ETH? Your options that way are much more wide and you can choose from various wallets out there. And there is something I noticed.. you said you have 600 and decided to go for Neblio. Did you first have the 600 and then decided to invest in Neblio, or did you find out Neblio and thought the project is so good that you have to invest 600 in it? There is a big difference, because you shouldn't just invest in something, just because you have the money to do so, you should invest in something that has "triggered' your attention in such a degree that you are absolutely sure about the future appreciation of the coin.

This is a good discussion. I haven't tried desktop wallet to be honest. May I ask some here, aside from keeping their keys in pc, what are the other ways?. I mean what if my pc crashed. Is there a tool or a device that can be used?

How to order our safe to store your coins for a long period of time is in cold storage good wallet paper or physical devices cause both have advantages and disadvantages, but if your coin has a feature project of staking or the master node, you should store it in a computer that can set a strong encryption on the computer and only a specific IP address that can only access the computer that is used so that the coins we are safe.

When will invest in advance should be pretty sure that will generate profits and not only hope to figure it out!
There are many coins like this one which looks promising and might think could generate a lot of profit in the long run but you will be disappointed when they stay the same or drop and only ride in a month or about 2 weeks. and fall back.
so plan a very careful and well-planned.

As for the purse, use the wallet desktop so we can always install it on an offline computer and use it as a "cold storage".

I hold in blockchain.info
I like it, but now they require information about the identity verification. Maybe for stronger security.

I have ledger wallet where it is a hardware wallet and it supports a lot of cryptocurrency so it is so easy to store different altcoins there and hold them for long term because ledger wallet is safe and it is easy to bring anywhere because of its small size and since it is a hardware wallet, it is offline and has a great encryption so it is very safe.

I hold my coins in the bittrex

the Bittrex is an investment process to increase safety while mathematically optimizing Returns that's why I hold my coins in the Bittrex
I think it is safe for my coins and it is the  good exchanger

I agree with you and I also work here before 4/5 month, these websites are much trusted and safe as I see.
So I will suggest everyone works here without any doubt....

if you want to save your coins in a secure place for long term then i will suggest you to keep your coins in blockchain.info wallet because according to my opinion this wallet is very safe and too trust able in all wallet according to my personnel experience and you can any time withdraw you money with a fast speed also without any problems.

I am holding my bitcoins in blockchain.info and in freebitco.in (as they give interest). My ETH and other coins are stored in myetherwallet.
A small portion of my bitcoins is also on kraken.

There is a desktop wallet for nebilo.Store there and you will get 10% stake for staking and also it is secured.Dont put in an exchange.

Cryptopia Good exchange.But I would advise trading on Bittrex.There are many good coins there.It is a lot easier to trade there.Holding the ethereum for a long term will give you good profits.

Go and visit the developer's website immediately and download the latest wallet. If you're a holder, there is no exception to the rule. Keep control of your own coins. These alts are very poor in circulation, and only tradeable on exchanges like Cryptopia. Should any issues happen with the wallet, with nodes, with the blockchain, your coins are in danger of being stuck forever. I've seen it happen too many times.

In fact, there's no reason for anyone to ever store coins on exchanges unless they're reserved in orders.

I have some of my coins on MEW but most of it on my Ledger Nano s

Now i am holding my coins in some exchanger.
1.https://etherdelta.com/ i holding minimum $1000 in this exchanger.
2.https://bittrex.com/ i holding minimum $700 in this exchanger.
Or some exchanger like https://www.coinexchange.io/ holding some money. ;D

If you don't have many coins, just keep it on a secure exchange. if you have a huge investment then use a hardware wallet such as "ledgar nano s" to protect your coins, Also make sure you keep the paper wallet somewhere safe - in case you lose your hardware wallet.

Are the all the hardware wallet supports all types of altcoins bro. I don't this would work have your altcoins. If you holder the bitcoin you no need worry about since they various wallet option to save your hard earn crypto money.
I suggest have your coins jaxx or Coinbase wallet. If that newly added alts go with the bitrex to use and have it.

You are right, you will be limited with hardware wallets, for all other altcoins, jaxx is a good option. remember, for ERC20 tokens you can use Ethereum account.

Ledger Nano S - supported coins

https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/18235033/32138374-5fd76c1c-bbe6-11e7-9da7-6e5dd5f0a068.png

MEW for Ethereum and ERC20 tokens, Electrum or Mycelium for Bitcoin and token specific wallets for the ones with their own blockchains. And if you can afford, buy a hardware wallet for extra security!

the best place for us to store it is by keep it on our hardwallet,
it would be best for you to buy something like Ledger Nano or similiar to that one.
it's very secure comparing to store it on exchange and your own PC,
also for token it would be better to store it on MyEtherWallet,it's a good place for you to store it but not a safe place.
try to avoid store all of your coin on exchanger,because they're only good as an exchanger no more than that.

I aslo decided to choose Ledger Nano s as a main wallet for holding coins. You never know what can happen to your laptop or online services, expecially exchanges. So I prefer to hold my money offlne and sleep well.

I think the safest way to keep them is in a Ledger Nano or a Trezor. Should have max protection.

Yep it's one of the safest way to hold our coins but it has a limited support to the alt coins that we can hold, so sometimes getting a desktop wallet for a specific coin is needed.

I'm trusting MEW for Ethereum and my ERC20 coins I'm storing it there and there's no way for someone to hack you unless you will be a victim of phishing links. And be aware about the fake MEW-alike website that has wrong spelling on it's URL.

With bitcoin, I'm good with electrum it's the one that I'm trusting and blockchain.info for smaller amount.

It is more safe to store your coins in an offline wallet which you are in control of, but for me, I store my alts in MEW wallet account.

There are some hardware wallet where you can hold your coins if you are planning for long term. But I am holding my coins on Bittrex and Poloniex because I do trading that is why I am holding in these exchanges but holding long term I will recommend holding in hardware wallet like Ledger Nano..

If you buy say 10 different altcoins, do people really download a wallet for each altcoin?  I thought the convenience of an exchange is you could just keep the coins there.

Cold storage on paper wallet is how I feel most confortable

For the new coins I use the Desktop wallets to hold and stake. For Bitcoin, ETH and LTC I use Jaxx, Coinomi, MEW. For my huge btc savings I used an offline paper wallet.
I use plenty of them, I make sure I don't only put my investment in 1 address.

currently I hold the coins I have in myetherwallet. well, only so much phishing from the web, but I feel that myetherwallet is a nice and complete wallet to store various coins besides bitcoin.

I save the coins and tokens that I get in My EtherWallet since the first time, because in this wallet can send and receive different tokens. all our transaction data can be stored well.
which you should be very careful about is to store the private key and password. and do not get it wrong when you give your wallet address.

I store my altcoins in my MEW account and wait for the coin price to increase. I don't understand how hardware wallets work yet, and am sure it needs a laptop or a desktop, but for now, I only have a phone.

Its better you keep it in the offline wallet if it is used in the long run. you can download desktop wallet and backup your files. it will be secure than you save in exchange..

It is safest to have control of your Crypto. So keep it offline but keep a watch on the price. If it has reached your profit expectations, send to the exchange wallet for sell.

I store my coins in desktop wallets as they are the most secure at the moment and the only way to keep them. I would wary of any online services.

i personally use myetherwallet but i recommend you to use desktop wallet like electrum,its very easy to use and understand. It's also very popular and good for new bitcoin users.

I don't trust any online services so I keep all of my altcoins in their dev-approved personal wallets. You should only keep your coins in an exchange if you are planning to make a trade, otherwise get them out of there. Research past history of exchanges such as Mt. Gox and you will see why you can't trust exchanges. Even Bittrex is banning accounts with no warning recently. You don't actually own your coins unless you are in control of their private keys.

Yes, it's a pain to keep track of all the individual wallets but you won't regret it when some BS happens at the exchanges.

The best place from my point of view is that wallet which hold the private key for securing the wallet from anyone i would suggest desktop wallet is the best wallet for storing the coins.

I personally created a desktop wallet for myself, and in principle I do not see any problems, because I do not face the stock exchange. After all, the exchange is such a fickle. If suddenly the course collapses, then no one compensates you for it. And then you will remain in a big minus. And this would not want to admit. Therefore, like all, I advise a desktop wallet.

I don’t have many coins recently but when I do i hold them different wallet websites. Wish I could hold them in my real wallet just like real money.

I'm rocking out with a Ledger Nano S.

New purchases are going to make that option unviable though, so I might airgap a linux laptop to store new tokens. Certain coins I'll probably keep on a good exchange though, some tokens I'm going to want to have sell orders on in order to catch pump waves.

We all were part of that great project Nebilo and I made some good profit both in bounty and investing to purchase the token. You can share tr your coins between cryptopia and  other exchanges. You can keep some at Bittrex , Coinexchange and HitBtc.

imtoken and mew thats what im using :)

Yup, never hold large amount of coins on exchanges. Or dont hold on exchange for a long period of time. Get a hardware wallet, if not possible for the coin get a desktop wallet for that praticular coin.
Or you can do what i do, i hide my coins in my socks while i sleep at night.

yes hold in exchange is pretty good. fast mobility. and reduce fee for trading i case you want to trading.

I think you should put on offline wallet. It is safety. Hackers now are more dangerous. Don't lose your money by stupid way.  ;)

I use trezor and MEW for BTC and ETH (and ERC-20 Tokens)

For any kind of staked coins, I'll use whatever native wallet that I need to


 8) 8) 8)

I am just holding my coins in an exchange because i do trade often and i am not holding the coins that are good for trading because i am comfortable to trade them than to hold them because i can make consistent profit with them and i am just going to hold my coins if there is a huge dip but most of the times they are just in an exchange.

Most of time I used to buy ETH smart contract coins only because those I can save in MEW. I can easily access to those even while traveling, most of time I used to travel different areas and I will carry my private key along with me in order to sell them when the price increases.

Wallet, exchange, Hardware Ledger

Trust me, you wouldn't wanted to hold everything in one place

Exchange = Could be hacked
Local Computer = Could be infect with Virus, Keylogger and etc

The best practice is to get a public ledger wallet, so your Cryptos don't get steal unless they had ur hardware ledger wallet + Pin  ;D

Yea, imToken is a good wallet. I like it even more then MEW.

This is the really the best idea but for me that doesn't have a ledger, cold storage wallet will be my last resort. So far, I did not experience any situation that those hackers had stole any of my coins so I can say that holding it in a desktop wallet is safe.

I hold my tokens in myetherwallet. If I convert it to Eth, I will still jold it in myetherwallet. But if I convert it to Bitcoin, I will hold kt in my account in coins.ph. Coins.ph is the wallet I used in storing my converted money before I cash it out.

Coinomi  from Google Play Store, it is awesome, support many potential coin. we call it Offline Wallet!

The only thing u have to know is the 12 seeds from starting, u have to keep it very careful, in doc, email or print it out.
Besides, the password u have to keep in mind too.

I use for exchange the coin each other, but not every of coin token support!

New updated coinomi can switch the transaction fees easily, can support many kind of token under eth wallet.

Cheers, hope it helpful for u

for now, I still hold Dogecoin because Dogecoin is cheap and suitable for trading stage of learning.

Definitely MEW and Trezor 

For me it's mostly in ICO projects such as EOS and seasoned altcoins such as litecoins, dogecoins, Ethereum and Monero. That way i have a pretty good balance between potentially good projects that can bring returns in and some coins that have steady returns in the long run.

Neblio is a risky investment.

If it gets listed on more exchanges maybe it will go up.

In our dedicated wallet...

I joined the bitcoin world for few month ago, i created several online wallet such as blockchain, coinbase, myetherwallet... i bought a little usdt for trading experience last month. So i think i dont need to store my coin on online wallet, leave it on the exchange is better rightnow.

to be more secure because the possibility of a phishing crime would not happen but if using online would be the action could happen but online also give the positive side with ease in its use

I store coins in a offline clean computer and Ledger Nano S.

I amke sure to at least run a antivrus and firewall all the time and store the private keys in a password manager (keepass). It might not be 100% secure but so far I had no problems.

All on my pc... cannot trade if I put them in cold storage...little but worried about privacy though..

hi.
I left it on the exchange

I could write it for the first time!

All of my erc20 supported altcoin I do hold in my ether wallet and  waves wallet. when I decided to do trade by some of the coin, I make deposit them in exchange for trading.

I'm also a novice, and I hear it often on the forum. Explain to me why the desktop wallet is safer?

If you have millions of worth in tokens, I agree with you, offline hardware wallet is a safe choice. But in other cases, what is wrong with using popular online interfaces to access your wallet, like myetherwallet.com, or browser extension like Metamask? Those are just tools to access your wallet address in the blockchain, if one online wallet is not accessible, you can always use another one to access the same wallet address.

It depends on the coins that you are holding, I invest in etherium coins and i use myetherwallet(M.E.W.) but before i decided to use this as my coin holder i have tried to do a lot of research and most of the experienced traders here are suggesting to use MEW for eth coins, So i choose it.

I use to hold all my altcoin on bitttrex and my bitcoin in my wallet(hot and cold) but now my alt have started to stay in my wallet. I can not trust any centralized exchange any longer. We need bitcoin trading dex!

Well MEW is a nice one, but use one of the hardware wallets for accessing to it. It's badly secured if you simply use your pw which can be easily hacked. Don't do it :)

Bittrex for me was among the good sites out there but still it needs confirmation but for me i cant really keep up with that. Because i already made an account now and i cant take back the money from my old account because of i might have the same 2 account. I just recently used Cryptopia for convertion and then trading and so far for me, it is good for storing and at the same trading if needed as much as possible.

be careful if you decide to save all of your altcoin in exchanges because we don't know if we are really secure or not but bittrex is a good exchanges that protecting our coins. i agree that we should save our bitcoin into private wallet because we don't want our bitcoin to get lost and its better to prevent than getting loss. i think if you can find wallet for your altcoin then you can move and save your altcoin to that wallet so you have two wallet to save your coins.

Holding a coin for long-term is in a cold storage , its depends on your coin project is had a feature of staking or master node you better keep it on a computer  set a strong encryption on that computer and set a specific IP address that can only access that computer.Some coins can held on exchanges. 

Myetherwallet - very comfortable service

I hold my coin in poliniex because it takes just a little bit of your coins.

But desktop wallets can also contain malicious code and steal your coins and other valuable data from your computer. Not even a virus scanner can always detect what dangers are inside them.

Not yet, exactly what that means. So you are anticipating for something to happen to you coins.
Best way to protect your funds is prevention, sooner or later someone or hacker will gain access to your computer or laptop. And as time goes by, im sure your funds are accumulating from more coins and price gains.
So do yourself a favour and invest i  a $100 hardware wallet.
Always use a hardware wallet!

As the above mate mentioned, using a hardware wallet increases the security on our bitcoin holdings. For the same we cannot say that online and desktop wallets were insecure. Here too we have got lot of security features that can be used to make our holdings more secure.

This post answers it all which desktop wallet on the link given is the best place to store up those coins but somehow hassle or would really put you on delay when theres an selling or buying opportunity on exchanges.This is the advantage but well as op mentioned he do tend to go for long term then the best thing to do is keep on desktop wallet is the best choice.

Keeping on exchange site or web wallet for as short as one week is long term because these people can wake up one day and come up with a change in policy that would take effect immediately without recourse to your feelings or investment because to them, its secondary. Another is the way they are subjects of targets which is on a continual basis and because hackers will not notify you of their heist, you are further at their mercy.

buy a lot of one or two coins per month, before that investigate about invested coins, and if they're low price, then you can buy them a lot, or investing in ICO's, etc..

It helps a lot if you know more about some coins, at least a grasp of what, why,...etc...

I hold my coins in MyEtherWallet and in Blockchain.

One of the safest ways to keep your cryptocoins is by converting them into real physical gold - perhaps not immediately, but after 20-30 years you would enjoy the difference. If not, for sure after 300-400.

My bitcoin for saving I put in my blockchain wallet , and some of my altcoin in the exchange for trading capital.

The best way to safe your coin is using the desktop wallet.
because you can control all of the coin with your self.
but this method have a weakness of a long time waiting for syncronize the block.
if you want a simple method just using the website like myetherwallet.
you can save your coin on there just using the private key.
so make your choice  ;)

I'm new to crypto currency and now I'm currently using desktop wallet because I have read some threads saying that it is the safest one to use. I do use some other wallets to store but with my larger funds I'm putting it on my desktop wallet.

If you are hodler, don't keep tokens in exchanges. Use wallet where you control your private keys. Paper wallet (offline) is the most secure for me.

I also hold my wallet in MyEtherWallet. I think it's one of the safest wallet online. But for me, the most convenient wallet to use is the coins.ph.

you can converting your cryptocoins if you exchange it into money so you can buy a gold but for me, i think its better that we keep our coins in the wallet and sell it if the price is increase. buying gold is my dream too but for now, i think i want to make money first then if i have money, i can buy gold and keep it in deposit box. so far, i am saving my coins in the exchanges wallet and in desktop wallet and multi coins wallet but i need to be careful to save my coins in exchanges because not all of them can give protection to member.

Safe wallet for storing altcoin is the recommended desktop wallet. I save altcoin on the exchange because I think it is more easy and simple and then I have never experienced problems with security, because I think it depends on you to keep your account confidential.

I have seen some exchanges closing their wallets, which meant that you could not deposit or withdraw the altcoins. Now NovaExchange has announced they are closing next year so if you have any coins in there you have to withdraw them within a few weeks, so they are not safe there either.

bro make sure if u install desktop wallet that your computer safe and don't have any batch or virus install nod32 and scan ur computer 1st

Obviously keeping coins is now very profitable. I hold them naturally in my wallet in blockchain. Remember to protect your wallet. Good protection is the priority!

The bulk of my BTC is in a Trezor wallet safely tucked away. I have all the instructions, passphrase and seed info to it and my exchange accounts encrypted on three memory sticks. The wife can access the memory sticks and thus my crypto won't be lost should I suddenly die.

How many folk have not made provision in case something happens to them? It isn't like going to the bank of your dead partner with probate.

I reccomend you holding your coins on pc and stake those coins man. Your going to increase procent.

The best options for you will be deskopt wallet. It is easy to use and the safest for me.

Mostly have tokens & ETH which I hold in my Metamask wallet. Some other coins i just keep in their exchange. i know, its bad :P

Desktop wallet would be better option between those two in the sense of safety. But if you own some micro amounts of coins it is not so bad to hold them directly on an exchanger to skip all those fees for the transactions which all wallets take.

a half lies on a burse, are those which have paid me for baunt and which I bought or I uchavstvyvat in ICO that on a byrzha when there are large sums so I will think about cold purses, but so far early to speak about it

I don't like desktop wallets. They're huge in GB and I don't have space. Besides, I prefer to use blockchain's online wallet, and sometimes exchange wallets. They're much better with 2FA security levels. I fell safe.

Basically coins are safe in wallets.

Yes, but there is a probability that on-line wallet can be hacked, meanwhile desktop wallet admitted as more safe place for holding of crypto. But I heard that paper wallet is the most safe one, I didn't have experience with any wallet besides an on-line one, so I can't tell you how other works.

i usually put my coin in exchange but i dont put it all in one exchange
i use different exchange and split the coin for trading and put some in other wallet for long term

I'm also looking into this at the moment. Are there any electronic wallets that are decentralized? Jaxx has terrible reviews.

We are Holding new ebtc after swap in etherwallted

 ??? ??? ???

For faster profit, it would not be ideal to leave all the assets there. Most times it is just best to leave some in the wallet to sell once it increases in value quickly while he keeps the rest in the wallet for the future. Leaving all your assets in an exchange where you do not have full control to your funds is just not the greatest idea.

Really looking forward to when we would start having decentralized exchanges. If the coin is listed in a decentralized desktop wallet, the better!

It actually depends a lot of your amount and quantity. For right now, i have alt coins majority in exchange. I have neo and gas and kcs in kucoin. I have sys, omg, safex, sc, qtum, nav in bittrex for trading when the price is right etc. I do keep those long term hold coins in my exodus and other private wallet.

I mainly keep my coin on the trading floor. Part I kept on my own coin purse to run starking. I also put a bit of bitcoin on the online slabs like coisebase, blockchain ...

i keep all the coins in myetherwallet, dont know if it is the safest way, but usually i have some really small ammounts, so the key for me is conveniency not security

i hold it my coins at online wallets especially my ether wallet and some big trustable exchanges too.i think your money is small dont be afraid to holding in the exchanges.Also i liked your coin neblio is good project

Since they have their own wallet, it is best you just download it and move them to the wallet, or find a multi currency decentralized wallet that lists the coin and then transfer it there.
You are right with leaving your coin in an exchange as it is not a good idea but you can find information on google on the best wallet to transfer your coin to based on the parameters I have mentioned.

I generally prefer to hold my coins in online wallets like ether wallets. I think it may be the safest way to hold my coins. But coins holding is depend upon the amount of coins. The more the coins the more will be the giving to keep them safe for long term investments. I have many coins and i hold them in my private wallet.

I hold some in online wallets and some in desktop wallets. I believe it is safer to divide the coins in seperated places.

My other coins are in my Trezor wallet, some of the ones not supported by Trezor are in an exchanger.

Desktop wallets and exchange sites.

better to hold it in a desktop wallet

better kept on the stock because if we save there will be difficult to get the hack or we used to hear with the title '' pishing ''.

You can divide. 50% coins you store in the exchange or your hot wallet. 50% you store in cold wallet. This helps you reduce risk.

It all depends on which kind of coins you have. I hold my ethereum supported ERC20 coins on myetherwallet & I hold my bitcoins in the blockchain that is the safest place to hold. Apart from this, there are some waves platform supported coins, that I hold in Waveslite wallet.

the actual wallet even tho I sometimes just keep them on the exchanges just in case it could be profitable in the short term. With pow coins I don't mind leaving there but pos coins I send them only when I need to.

i think we can only hold the coins that can give us a big profit and if we have found the coins and we know that the coins will be increase soon then we need to have the coins. for this case, we can save it into exchanges or we can search another wallet that support the ccoins, beside that it will makes us easier to sell when the coins is increase the price even for the flash pump. saving the coins is really help to waiting for a while for altcoin is giving the sign to break at the new level.

Choosing between the online wallet and the desktop wallet I have picked the second one. Hackers work constantly and never sleep and there is always a risk they can steal your coins from online wallet.

When you create your desktop wallet, you can store keys even on paper, so even if your PC is hacked, no one will get the keys.

agree, you should only store your coin on an exchange if you want to trade it, then after you done with it you should move it back. And only put your coin on an exchange if you want to use it. that will minimize your lost in case something bad happens.

I collect them on different wallets because hackers can hack your wallet. So if they hack a wallet i have other wallets left. So i will have less problems when a hacker steals my coins.

I have some wallets that store my coins online and some of them are locally stored.

MEW for ERC20, Paper wallet for BTC

many are suggesting and storing their crypto on the desktop and in my opinion too because it is safer and we control more keamannya

There is such a word "diversification" Beginners can turn to Google for help, but I think that I will explain more clearly. Do not keep all your savings in one "basket" The losses will not be so painful, in case of unfavorable circumstances.

it is safer to hold a coin on the desktop because the control is in our hands, sell or buy altcoins can at any time and no one forbids it

Im also using myetherwallet its the safest way to save coins, it is also the most trusted wallet of all. I suggest you not to hold in any exchange wallet, it is so risky and may corrupt your funds. Aside from myetherwallet you can also use a known local application wallet, its also safe and you can easily make demands once failures happened. There are application platforms which is full and good features, in my case Im using a bitcoin and ether wallet app. So far I dont experience inconvenience and unusual activity with my funds.

I don't store all my coin in exchange! I only used PC wallet! I thinks this is a best way to hold my coin

hold it on the exchanges was not so secure cause we cannot guarantee that exchanges will not be "shut down, hacked or others technical issue that will harm our asset in other word our coins has been lost" in the near future.
hold it on offline wallet also not so safe whose know what will happen to your hard disk in near future maybe you unfortunately broke it or other "bad thing" happen.
hold it on web wallet also not so safe just like exchanges wallet.

so it safe to say "do not put all your money in one basket"

i hold it all in my local wallet and put  a few of them in exchange .  because i never trust exchange ,

only the coin in your hand is the most safe place.

Totally true  and better suggestion . Here currently  the best rule to handle the all types of the coins whether you want to make trade or want to make trade to trade exchange , more better to put on the trading sites . Here it is the truth that the sites of the trading are not simple but are highly encrypted and secured but still for the security we can understand well that hackers can hack Because that trading platform is a site and every site is hackable .
So put another another coins at another another exchange and use different different password for different different sites trading sites Because sometimes hackers hacked the data and try at another exchange to hack the account .

Using the desktop wallet is the only way I have experienced to hold the coins. Maybe I haven't  so much online cash, but don't really worried about the safest ways, so I chose the first one I meet.

the safest wallet is the offline wallet but there is still a risk that if the pc where you keep the offline wallet is destroyed then you can not do anything, print the wallet on a old printer with no internet connexion and no memory, then you can still lose the paper, so there is no safe, there is always a risk

people can everywhere save their coins for safe, easy and convenient reason also not too difficult procedure and also have control over their coins and desktop it's answer

It's pretty tough to get coins 100% secured because there is a lot of software that can break wallets. Just keep it encrypted and hope for the best.

if you hold a massive amount of coin in your offline wallet, you should make it valuable, secure it privately and encrypt it. keep it in a safe place. that's should reduce the risk and if you really think its valuable you should make it as importance thing.

i don't know if it is better trezor or ledger? any opinion?

I hold my coins on MyEtherWallet.com  :D
Code phrase is written on paper.

I think the safest way to hold a long-term coin is in a cold storage either paper wallet or physical devices both have some advantages and disadvantages, but if your coin project is had a feature of staking or master node you better keep it on a computer that runs at 7/24 and set a strong encryption on that computer and set a specific IP address that can only access that computer.

My BTC are in cold storage. My alt are inexchange or go to coldstorage too if I hold for a long time. For the few airdrop that I did there are not secures on my computer. If someone hack my airdrop (they have little value too me) I'll know that my computer is compromised and deal with it with a wipe/reset etc.

If you do not want to keep the coin on the floor and exchange them you can go to Neblio's home page which will give you the hard purses you can put in them and when you want to sell them you can depostit on exchanger.

Desktop wallet ,in my opinion is safest and don't forget to keep an eye on the coin's performance on the exchange

In your opinion, it is advisable to store on a computer the crypto currency offline or better to use online services and desktop applications?

Trezor works well and is fairly easy to set up with step by step instructions. You can complete the set up, understand how it works and transfer your coins in less than twenty minutes. 

I use myetherwallet for storing my coins and tokens. It's free so everyone can get their wallet in seconds but I prefer hardware wallet for more secure but I don't need it this time. Free wallets also available for Android app like Ethereum wallet by freewallet.org and Bitcoin wallet from Bitcoin.com and blockchain.info.

I use a separate machine offline desktop wallet specifically myetherwallet. I do routine backups and paper backup. Hardware wallets are best but not a necessity unless you move around a lot and have to take stuff with you in my opinion. I rather play it safe than trusting anyone holding my coins and tokens over the net.

for me I just trust myetherwallet for holding my altcoins and using this for less than a year with no issues because it is secure with an online server than offline wallet with just your own PC.

I make sure all my coin are held in a wallet that i have the private key. For long term holding , I have coins in paper wallet. And for short term holding, I have those coin in hot wallet!

I hold coins using wallet exchanger. Because it's more practical, except for the PoS altcoin, I will store it in desktop wallet as it can provide growth.

Keep the coins in stock of the wallet to facilitate the exchange but lately a lot of new coins seem to be garbage in the wallet. And that still becomes garbage will appear https://www.myetherwallet.com/

I agree it will be impossible to have it 100% secured. You can't secure everything but we can make it harder so that it will take a long time for hackers to break in.

I hold my coins mostly online because i think this is better than storing it on your laptop. They can easily steal it with a wallet stealer.

It depends on the coins which coins you have in your portfolio, if you have staking coins then you have to download the wallet of that coin and add your coins and get benefits of staking for holding. If you have erc20 tokens or coins then you can use myetherwallet.

Trezor, if it doesn't support the coin, then desktop wallet.

I agree. It's always better to not hold them in large amounts in one wallet. However, if you would hold them in any online wallet, better not give your password to anyone and be sure to keep your wallet ID in a usb and offline, in your own PC. Also, be sure to not input them in any random site because it's a way for scammers to get your wallet details without you knowing.

I use desktop wallet and as well as using exchange of bittrex and yobit to keep my coins. If you have good no of coin and planning to hold for long-term then you should use desktop wallet of the particular coin. So that it would always remain safe.

Imo best available option is hardware wallets which offer best secure defence system against any hard attack. Desktop wallets can be considered as medium impact level in terms of security. I currently use hardware wallet like every trader who wanna to securely hold coins.

For me I am holding my coins in my offline eth wallet which has it's own private key and it's own downloaded file back up. Its same as the wallet that you mean of like the desktop wallet, but I think having that ether wallet is more secured compared with other types. I can trade those coins easily just using their private keys or their file back up offline wallet.

To those of you who hold a lot of money in altcoins... do you download the wallet and keep it there as oppose to an exchange?  I read that people who use bittrex to trade actually keep their coins in their offline wallet but this is with bitcoin.


So what about their altcoins then?  I thought the great thing about bittrex or exchange is you don't need a wallet for every coin.  I mean imagine you buy 30+ different altcoins.  Are you really going to download 30 different wallets? 

It depends on the volume of your investment. But still I recommend keeping the most part on a cold purse. Now is the time that it is not entirely safe to store large amounts on exchanges.

I did not choose to save or hold my coins in an exchange as this not a good idea and not safe. I just put all my coins in myetherwallet which I only hold my private keys. So, I have not encountered any problem on this.

I would not keep coins on Android wallet. My preference and the best choice for doing it is a desktop wallet. You can use Blockchain, which belongs to the most trusted ones. It is absolutely simple even for an individual, who deals with it for the 1st time and knows nothing about it.

you don't have to worry, I never have altcoin problem save in exchange. so pretty safe I guess. because I personally have not gotten into trouble if my altcoin is kept for a long time in the exchange.

desktop wallets,be sure not to save your private keys in your computer .

Hi,

If you have ETH based tokens you can save it in MyEtherWallet and export it as JSON. Please remember the private key or write it down in a notebook (offline) and keep the files uploaded to your preferred cloud storage & also in your PC.

You can recover the coins anytime using private key

Do not put all eggs in the same basket. Keep some coins in the wallet, some in exchange and some as exported as JSON - Thats how i have been doing.


Thanks

I like to store my coins in wallet which I have the private key because I feel safe with my private key.

Of course, my funds are held in a blockchain portfolio. It's a really good way to go and recommend to anyone. I've never been disappointed with it and hope it stays that way.

What is blockchain portfolio? Is it blockchain.info online wallet? If yes, it's not that secure since you don't have your private keys dude. They can clear your funds someday. You can't trust them.

Download bitcoin core 0.15.0.1 and start using it, I suggest.

I suggest that you better use desktop wallet to keep your coins because this is one of the most secure way but be very careful with the private keys but for faster profit, you can hold them in the exchange, by which you can sell the coin in any price with pending order and for neblio, download nebl.io/wallets.
Some coins do not have a desktop wallet so you can keep them in exchange.

I'm a bit like that, I have small quantities all over the place. I don't fully trust exchanges, but also I don't fully trust myself not to do something stupid if I have everything in my own wallet. The problem with this approach is keeping track of where everything is.

Preach!

With all of the issues that have come up with exchanges, it is risky to have all of your $$ in one place. Some exchanges have more liquidity than others, so it is valuable to diversify not only your holdings but also where it is held.

MEW is the best wallet to hold coins. There are many wallets but MEW is the best one as it is very simple to operate all the transactions are very easy to made. It is very User Friendly and anyone new person can operate it. The best part is it is very easy to sell coins on this wallet.

I tried a lot of different purses, but the best is MyEtherWallet. It's easy to monitor transactions. When connecting via the Ledger is very reliable.

I quickly convert to BTC and hold in blockchain.info. I feel secured there. I am  do not confidence in some the exchanges around now. The cyber security there in blockchain.info is high and encouraging.

After the mtgox, cryptsy and many other exchanges scam history, I'd say never store your coin in the exchange if you're in for long term, just download the official wallet and store in it.

all my coins are in myetherwallet, its really user friendly

read this thread and chose myetherwallet and it really is easy to use, i'm quit satisfied so far

How about using desktop wallet EXODUS ? thats a faster wallet i have ever use. With top speed block syncronize you will enjoy it. And thats wallet support any altcoin and become a recomended wallet by a top trader of cryptocurrency. Hope it will help ☺

I save my coins on 3 places: trezor device, on exchange, my desktop wallet.
You should buy 1 hard wallet: trezor, legend S, keepkey..to hold your coin
They are safest wave to save your coin

I hold some of my coins on the exchange for the short term.
in addition I also save my coin in desktop wallet. I think desktop wallet is one good choice for long term. its more safe.  :)

On different wallets, Ledger and so on... cold storage is still one of the most interesting thing, but also a part online but you must know that, there are risks on the whole market and nobody knows where, but also serious provider

use trading exchange wallet is a great place to saving your coin if you love to trade and doing it oftenly. use a good exchange so your coin safety is guaranted.

easy, long-term holdings on hardware wallets(Trezor,Ledger Nano S,KeepKey),
short-term on the exchanges,
desktop/mobile wallet for ICO.

Somebody says to hold it in desktop. But it doesnt matter if you are using only phone. Just save your private key from a wallet. It depends only to the people who keep more attention to their coin. Somebody are just careless.

MYETHERWALLET, KRAKEN, BITFINEX, LEDGER,...  ;D

I'm holding my coins only in MEW but currently I'm trying to explore other wallets that I can use in the future since as I'm doing this as a hobby not as job or source of income (honestly at 1st I want to this as a form of income). Based on the review on this thread I'll stick in MEW for the meantime :)

Use web wallet  MyEther. Dont never ever give private key to any body or to a forum.
Use keystore file to access and dont  write down the password or dont store it  in the computer ( notepads). Try to remember it.
Back up keystore file .
Never store private key in computer.
If u need log in to account using keystore file and passward then you can encrypt the privatekey.
Then we can safely hold our coins.

Only paper wallet or cold storage
!!!

I have coins on exchanges as well, I don't like to store as much coins on there because I feel that the coins can be moved at anytime.

Lykke Wallet, Is the safest after a Cold storage!

I know a few things. You can hold your coins maybe on exchange sites but i would not do it. You have a high chance to be hacked if you get a lot of coins on that exchange. So i would just store hem on a offline wallet, because you have the files and the private key. Don't forget to secure it and that you don't download infected files on the internet.

In their wallets. I always love this question and I always wonder what they are considering as the "vast" number of alternate options. There are the wallets of the coin, on your computer, or on someones server. The rest is elementary. If it is BTC, than why have anything other than a light wallet, but beyond that there is really not much to think about and really not anything that bear discussion on a forum, so you have at it.

I hold my coins in MEW and in exchanges, like Poloniex and Bittrex

Same here I think its best to hold and store our coins in a separate storage  rather than storing it on a single storage because its more secure. Desktop wallet and exchange for me is preferable for coins storage.

In my wallet

I keep some of the crypto money in the stock exchange to trade, mostly in the Ledger nano S wallet. My method is safe to reduce risk.

Majority of my bitcoins I hold in my electrum wallet and some of them are on trading sites where I trade with altcoins to make some quick profits as my portfolio includes multiple altcoins which is possible to have only on trading sites and I keep on playing with them on daily basis depending on the ups and downs of the price of altcoins.

I usually store my coins in offline wallets. I am be hacked online wallet one time. Therefore, I am scared now.

Holding it in where wallet that the altcoins are compatible hehe like just (MEW) myetherwallet.com and many more erc20 wallet that supported it. Well i mostly hold my coins in MEW wallet some of it where also in my bittrex account so in that i can buy/sell fast hehehe

I also store coin in myetherwallet. It doesn't seem that I will be lose it there since I kept it with private key and being careful not to save it in google. For now, that wallet is the one that  I am familiar with.

Myetherwallet is a nice place to have coins stored on though nothing really competes with having a regular wallet to put coins on.

Well I can reapeat myself again and again! The best and safest way to keep the coins is on a hardware wallet (private key secured).
In no case anyone is going to steal you the coins online. Even if you computer is infected you will have access (secure) to your coins!

I just keep my altcoins on exchange. I can trade them faster once value goes up. My tokens I keep in my MEW wallet and ready to trade on ED once value pumps.

I hold my coins in my ether wallet.I hold my 50% coins in it.I also hold my coins in coinbase account.

I trust exchange platforms which support 2FA protection. With it, they cannot be stolen by others if they don't have my cellphone on their hand. Full secured for the users.

I hold them in online wallets such as Counterparty, MyEtherwallet, MyMonero and some on exchanges such as Poloniex, Hitbtc...
I am going to buy TREZOR wallet soon.

Im using a linux os to access my btc and alt coin wallets. Will try hardware wallet in the near future

In my case, I tend to hold and keep my coins into my cryptowallet in which I can access whether on mobile or desktop devices so that I can monitor the improvements undergone by my crypto holdings. I use the wallet provided nd generated by my own country which supports cryptocurrency coins holdings with just a couple of clicks away from my hand.

Yes you are right, but sometimes there is risk and danger if you hold coins in the exchange platform, unless if the platform is well established like Bittrex.com it is one of the popular and well known platform in this industry. I just don't know if neblio is listed in this platform.

I won't encourage you to hold your coins in exchanges sites for it is not safe even if you have a 2FA. There's already a lot of issues regarding these exchanges sites (I won't mention them to show respect). Although most of these problems are not the developers' fault, we can't deny that if something happened to our account, there's nothing we can do about it.

I will recommend you to use desktop wallets or the local wallets (official wallets of your country). The one that I am using now is an android app wallet called imToken for ethereum and ethereum-based tokens (ERC-20 supported) and the official bitcoin wallet of my country. Holding your coins in these wallets are more safer than dumping your coins in exchange sites. There are other desktop wallets that are great and safe. You just need to keep your private key and other important details of your wallet to keep it secured and safe.

Nebilo is an ERC20 Token, so you can hold your coin on MyEtherWallet or metamask, there is a better place to store tokens for the long term than by storing them on the exchanger site ;)

I have my coins in exodus and my hodl bitcoins in electrum. Exodus when I want easy access to them for regular use. If I'm going to hold for a long time I might try paper wallets.

I have a portion of the currency in my local wallet, mostly on exchanges, and most of the time, the exchanges are safe and there is no such thing as unsafe.

Hardware Wallet
Eth wallet based on ERC20

You can download their wallet https://nebl.io/wallets/

I use Myetherwallet, but recently decided to order Ledger Nano S

Well the most and common way to store bitcoins aree online on web wallet and I store my bitcoins in blockchain.info wallet I am using it from 2 years without any problem and it works flawlessly and they have added many security features too so it is best for me.

If you want to hold your bitcoin, I guess it's better if you do it into different wallet because if you put only your savings into one wallet you have no assurance that it is safe. Also I think if you have know some offline wallet maybe you try this because you can only used it once you connect to internet. Not like online wallet that anytime it was prone to hackers or thief.

I believe Nano Ledger S is the best option, but still you should pay attention to Myetherwallet or Exodus

I mostly have coins on the stock exchange, because the capital is small and I trade and keep them long

If for security I choose a desktop wallet because if we keep our coins there then no one can pick it up. But I do not like wallet desktop because it takes a long time for all blocks to finish.

I put all my coins to my hard wallet which is ledger nano s,so far so good theres no single issue i faced.

I hold my coins on myetherwallet and some markets. I think as long as you are always careful doing every transaction, I think it's safe. No need to fear but be careful. because many phishing sites.

Probably not the safest way to do it but I use the Jaxx App for iOS, it has more than 10 other cryptos beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum.

wallets are to hold coins. you must use wallet for holding coins safer. it is your choice that u want online or offline wallet.

I thought I would keep it on the desktop wallet and only I know the private key ;)

Most of my portfolio I keep on cold wallets. So it's safer. And to you I recommend. I also have a portfolio for speculation, I keep them on stock exchanges.

if the coin has it, i use only cold storage
even if its for a mid term , the security worth the time of moving it

I just keep mine in Bittrex because it is a hassle if I keep it on their own specific wallets. There are too many applications that I need to open just to check it and I don't like that.

I hold them in a plethora of wallets but will soon get myself a Ledger Nano to gain some more safety.

Maybe, the option you have is to download wallet on your desktop, however, be safe and not try to send your private key ;D ;D

I won't encourage you to hold your coins in exchanges sites for it is not safe even if you have a 2FA. There's already a lot of issues regarding these exchanges sites (I won't mention them to show respect). Although most of these problems are not the developers' fault, we can't deny that if something happened to our account, there's nothing we can do about it.

Storing depends on many elements, ie, type, value and quantity.

There are many places where you can store your coins, usually each coin will have it's own exchange platform.
There are many exchange platforms some examples are: Bittrex, Poloniex, Kucoin and many more.

Some users could store there coins on Desktop wallets.

Other users will decide to store there Bitcoins in the Blockchain, and feel that it's the safest place to hold.
