Thanks for sharing, good info for newbies.

I just went through the list to check if I was following all possible security measures. Turns out I'm still not using a MultiSig wallet. Will have to check it out. Not sure how much important it is when I'm already on paper wallet.

Well i do leave some coins in a wallet installed on a computer which is not in any way connected to the net. And it doesn't have  any program installed in it other than the wallet program. Of course hardware wallet is still the best option here but I'm still looking for the right one with the right price.

For me, online wallet is the way to go. Other ones are more secure but so paranoid.

Use blockchain.info if you have small amounts of bitcoins or bitaddress.org for a paper wallet. It is recommended to use a paper wallet if you are wanting a secure wallet. Or you can get a multisig wallet.

Paranoid, yes. But I'd like to be a little paranoid when my Bitcoins are involved.

They might be worth $500 today but we don't know how much they'll be in future, so I better keep them as safe as possible.
