Would it be safe to run Linux on a Virtual Machine that is not connected to the internet and have your coins stored there.

1-If I am running Windows on my Pc and the VM is running linux, and is offline, is there a possible threat for my coins?

2- Are there any versions of Linux that are better than others when dealing with Bitcoin?

3- Would I be able to have the wallets that I use on a daily basis stored on several virtual machines as well,  for extra security?

I read an article yesterday that was extremely helpful but I cannot find it anymore.

It spoke about how to keep your wallets and how the term wallet is really just the same as someone calling it your private key.

There was a link for a download on the article, it was to download a version of linux. The article also explained how to make linux into an ISO file and use it on a DVD or a flash drive as a boot disk.

If anyone has read this article or know what I am referring to, please PM me or write it down in the replys.

Thank you very much.

Hello, I am fairly new here and was wondering what the best wallet would be for having my bitcoins.

I have read a bit about blockchain.info and from what I understand it seems to be the most popular one.

There was some talk about coinbase also, but there shouldn't be too many coins left inside in case they get seized.

Can someone provide me some insight on this whole thing. I would use my wallet to send coins to friends and family from time to time and keep my wallet in an offline computer. What risks do I have of my wallet getting hacked and my coins taken away. Thank you for your time. Cheers.
