I need help keeping my bitcoin

[sgk]

Hello everybody.
  Am new here and i need help in keeping bitcoin

You're asking about 'keeping' your Bitcoin. So I'm assuming you have already purchased your Bitcoins.

In this case, how did you acquire them? If you used some exchange like Coinbase / BitStamp etc., you should install a desktop wallet and transfer yuor coins to your computer rather than leaving them on exchange.

Since you are new and still learning, I would suggest you try Multibit or electrum. Both are easy to use wallet. Moreover they're 'lite' clients that do not need the whole block chain downloaded in order to function well.

If this was not the answer to your question, then please elaborate more about what you're asking.

first of all, whats the poll for, it doesnt give any information. secondly i would choose blockchain.info, as you dont have to keep anything on your pc with it and everything is on the internet

While Blockchain.info is currently the only online wallet that lets you have control of your own private keys, they have had a few incidents in the past where users either lost coins or came very close to losing coins. Their most recent incident happened just over a week ago which affected a subset of users of their Android app who were running older versions of Android and perhaps more importantly, exposed some pretty sloppy coding practices on their part:

I'd probably still consider them to be better than your typical online wallet based on the fact that you'd still have access to your coins even if they were to suddenly shut down but after seeing what happened recently, I'd be wary of keeping anything more than a couple of BTC in there.

I would say greenaddress.it would be a much secure choice. Considering that blockchain.info identifier is also quite long, you can switch to greenaddress.it and use their memoric. They also create 2of2 multi sig addresses and allows you to set a limit. They will send a nlocktime file for you to redeem your transaction when it expires. It is quite secure too.

I'm prefer blockchain because it was easy to set up and it has simple interface so it means that when you'll got expert in haste once you take a look on it. But blockchain is online wallet and being online it's mean that someday it will be offline too. So try to have some research thorugh this forum or other site about offline wallet

Blockchain.info unlike other online wallets allow you to control your private keys by yourself. They will send you a backup file and you can use that backup file to send your Bitcoins to another wallet. Same goes to greenaddress.it but they take a different approach. I still won't recommend anyone to use blockchain.info nevertheless.

By "here" I assume you mean planet Earth.  As to the bitcoin part of your dilemma, well, I am totally confused as to what you're asking.  I've no idea.  Perhaps you shouldn't venture into cryptocurrency as it can be confusing and requires a bit of brains to comprehend and can easily be lost forever.  Which you'd probably do.  I do take donations for evil purposes, so if you'd like to send a few satoshis my way, please check my signature or profile for the address. 

Good day to you, sir.

Paper wallet is the way to go. It's costs nothing and as long as you do it offline your coins will be safe forever. Check out bitaddress.org - you can save the page and generate paper wallets safely offline.

What is paper wallet? Can someone clarify what's this? Thanks

that very secure

for create new paper wallet i choose vanitygen
i create new custom wallet address like 1shanexxxxxx (using command prompt)  after it i use blockchain to import my custom bitcoin address, and i export it to paper wallet 
need more step but i like my way i trust blockchain

as long as you are doing it offline, and doing it with the correct code which you download from a secure and trusted source or review the code yourself i think it can be safe.

and if you are only sweeping the keys at the time of usage then you are fine using blockchain.info
