Any suggestions on where a person who has already purchased bitcoins through Coinbase / circle should store them? I'm open to any suggestions from members. Thanks



Several options you can choose from. Either you make some paper wallets and store them in a secret place or you use some cold storage, hardware wallet. The best is to safe it 2-3 times imo.

I store them in Coinbase.  I have had some pretty good luck with them and I know people don't like that, but I don't like a lot of the other options that you can use, Coinbase seems quick and easy.

How would you guys go for instance when you get paid your wages in bitcoin?

Deposit it monthly in your hot wallet and instantly move savings part to cold wallet? Or do you deposit to cold wallet? And how do you get access to those coins again easily while keeping them cold?

I'm thinking lately of how to balance a "savings" and a "spending" account as I'm always moving money around in my normal bank accounts.

I personally prefer to store my bitcoins on my pc and i am using electrum. I don't recommend storing bitcoins on your mobile as it is more likely to be stolen than your home pc. And always use more than one backups for your wallets. Cool

And what happens if someone gains access to your pc? They can run off with your wallet easily. This is not a really safe way to store your bitcoins.

Cold (savings) and hot (spending) is a good way to do it
I use Trezor for hot wallet, might also get a Case later

If you want to store long term as you should, make an address on bitaddress.org. Do it offline (look it up on youtube). Ideally, do it by booting a Live DVD of Linux on it to guarantee the OS where you create the wallet at is not compromised.
After you do this, what you'll have is a paper wallet that has never seen the internet. You can extract money from there in your money to do purchases.

If the amount of bitcoin is small store it in a software wallet, i recommend Multibit HD.

If the amount is "huge", go with cold storage!
