Title: Bitcoin Storage [The Question Asked 1000 TImes] Post by: Knocks on January 19, 2014, 03:19:01 PM Hi guisez
I know this question has been asked 1000 times but I never seem to see an option suitable for me... I have 1 laptop and want to store a good amount of Bitcoin, how can I do this safely without worrying about then getting stolen / lost. I have 2 brand new USB drives to store back ups of anything needed So wizards, enlighten me?

A good start would be to explain why all the options you have read about are not suitable?

Consider wirting/printing the relevant data.
Don't keep too much on a machine that is regularly connected to the internet. Don't make the restore process too complicated. It is more likely that you forget how to restore a backup than it is for your coins to be stolen.
