Thus keep it there without it in a paper wallet?  I read its very unsafe b/c those are hot wallets but if u plan to do transactions once a week at least, i read paper wallets are not good b/c its meant for long term storage.  Im sure there are lot of ppl that has kept this much money in their accts right?

I guess you and anyone shouldn't

Even papar wallet you should splitt the coins.

I used to keep all my coins on Blockchain.info, but then I decided it was too risky, so right now, I have the private keys encrypted and uploaded to cloud storage. Not sure how much safer that is, though.
I would get some paper wallets, but I'm afraid that I'll lose them or they will become damaged (e.g. water, fire).
Now, I'm thinking of getting some physical Bitcoins.

Never had that much yet in bitcoins but if i were to i would have split them into different paper wallets or just bought a hardware wallet.

Definitely no, spread across a couple hardware / cold storages. Only keep small amount on mobile for small payments (small in my case is 100$ max on my device at a given time). 

I'd definitely recommend a paper wallet or a hardware wallet.  I prefer the paper wallet method because it's free, but to each his own.

Never leave more than pocket money on an online wallet.

no. you should keep that in a hardware wallet like these:

If you have that amount of money you better hold it yourself in a paperwallet instead of holding it in a 3rd party. Is like if you have 10k$ in an unknown bank.

The issue with paper wallet is i would be sending btc and receiving it.  So you saying keep the paper wallet on me at all times when i do these transactions?  Thing is im not looking to keep btc long term and store it somewhere like imagine i store gold or some document in a safety deposit box that i would go there every once in a while.  I would plan to do probably 10 transactions a month at the max... but definitely close to 1 a week, whether its sending the btc to sites or receiving it and then send to coinbase to sell back to bank account.

You don't necessarily have to keep BTC for a long time if you're using a paper wallet, in fact paper wallets are just a safer way to work with BTC, it's just like coinbase but better. It's not difficult to keep your paper wallet on you most of the time, you can put it on a USB or on your computer. If you need to use coinbase store all your btc in the paper wallet and make the transactions from there.

Paper wallets are not like deposit boxes, most people use them for long-term storage but you can work short-term with them. If it's 10k we're talking about then it's definitely worth using that kind of wallet even if it takes a bit more effort/time.

Maybe you can use an electrum seed it will be as safer as a paper wallet but easier to save all your wallets in a 12 words password.

there are many people that do it but it is not recommended at all

You would have to be a moron or incredibly brave to do that. I keep less than 100 bucks...

The only one who should keep $10k of Bitcoins in a hot wallet is the one who owns millions of dollars and can afford to lose $10k.

Keep money in online wallets only what you can afford to loose in any case you loose :(

yes it definitely, while waiting for the price to the $ 10K  ;D

Why not keep it yourself in your computer, im pretty sure its safer then putting in online wallet. You can always use bitcoin-core as a wallet and some anti-virus software.

Or just use Linux/Max OS X instead of Windows + Anti Virus and Anti Spyware and Firewall and some other additional applications ;-)

Too much money to save on online wallet, you should keep your btc to hardware wallet like trezor, ect.
Or wallet desktop  like core and ect.

no too risky, better to hold them in a cold storage, like usb, or you can build a dedicated desktop only for the bitcoin client(i find it more secure than a VM to be honest)

I don't have $10000 in bitcoin in total, but I am keeping 90% of my bitcoin in a paper wallet.

So i posted in another forum and this is what someone told me and want your opinion on this.  I mentioned that i kept over $10000 in 5dimes previously and they said if i kept that much in a sportsbook online, then i shouldn't have any issue with keeping over $10000 in coinbase.  Do you guys agree/disagree with this statement?  For me, i would feel safer keeping $25000 on 5dimes then even $5000 on coinbase/blockchain based on what i had read about it here recently.

Honestly I don't have any experience with 5dimes, but Coinbase and Blockchain are considered to be one of the safest and trusted platforms.

Blockchain.info had some security glitch that exposed private keys of some users, but it has been apparently been fixed now.

But then again, $10,000 is a great deal of amount to keep online; regardless of the platform is trusted or not.

I don't have $10k worth of BTC but to answer your Question, No, I don't even keep $100 worth BTC in any on-line wallet/exchange.

of course not! Cold storage / hardware storage. I prefer to split it amongst different cold storages / hardware storages.

You shouldn't, but from the mtgox and inputs.io incident, we do know that some bitcoiners have kept a crazy amount (hundreds or even thousands of bitcoin) in their accounts.

It really depends if $10k means a lot to you, some keep up to millions of $ online exchange site. I my self only keep 5k max.

If $10k is not much to you if you were to lose it then I am sure there are some people out there who do so. Perhaps they want to keep a nice amount for instant spending, $10k in BTC is a nice little travel wallet if you ask me :D

IMO it'd be better to keep that much money in a paper or hardware wallet. But for me that'd be too much even for a hardware wallet.

If I were you, I'd put around $9000 in a paper wallet and keep the $1000 in a hardware wallet for daily transactions.
