I keep Bitcoins in my own computer. I think because the safest.
I keep it online but sometimes I find that quite unsafe because I sometimes hear from people that they have been hacked.

So that's why I do it on my own PC.

Same here. I just put a couple on my online wallet whenever I need to. Storing it on your own PC is the safest.

Cold storage is the only safe method for storing bitcoin's. A trezor could be worth investing in too. Only store small amounts in an online wallet to avoid the threat of being compromised.

Store them in an offline computer that I only connect to transport coins, also keeping the keys in a USB in case there is a hardware failure.

I store my bitcoins at a wallet.

Sometimes I store them offline and mostly online.

It depends if I store them offline or online by its amount.

the amount shouldn't matter as what you consider to be a small amount right now, can turn into a decent amount within a year. that's why you should always hold your coins offline.

to ease the right choice is to store in the cloud storage. but the safest is a wallet media stored on your computer. it was very safe at all !!

We have two choices to store bitcoins .. one of them being online wallets which are like : Blockchain wallet, HolyTransaction, etc.
While some are offline wallets like : bitcoin core wallet I would prefer core wallet as it gives freedom and safety at the same time.

I store my bitcoins in a wallet offline, I do not like online wallets its to risky.
For high amounts its to risky to get it on online wallets, although its pretty nice.

store the majority of my coins "less than 1 btc" in a paper wallet, it isn't that big of an amount but I like the idea of having it completely isolated from technology, have less than 0,10 BTC in blockchain for using.

i store my bitcoins in my cold storage and in my online wallet
Me too same, the basic reason is both offer something good.
Online wallet give us freedom and ease, while offline wallet gives us safety but not 100% easy to use with hardware wallet.

I put it on my exchanger wallet, so that instead of passively sitting down, it works around and (hopefully) gives me more of its breed

Yes but with offline wallets, like keeping core wallet in your desktop or laptop can be risky too . If someone doesnt know how to backup wallet and other procedures, they can loose their coins in moments. Hence I think for new people online wallet and for old, core ones.

I have four different ways I store my Bitcoin and two are a bit stupid. So we will start with stupid, I have some Bitcoin on exchanges for trading, I have a couple of Bitcoin in blockchain.info.

My profit from trading goes in a hardware wallet which builds up and when it gets to 10btc it is put on paper wallets, laminated and stored in a safe location. In the near future I am going to have 10-20 stored in private keys hid in tattoos.

Of course for a extra safety that will be done in 2 parts, from two different tattooist just to be on the safe side of a photographic memory who knew about private keys. I like the idea of being basically naked and still having access to funds should the need ever come.

I like to store most of my bitcoin in online wallets, because most often I need them for gamble, and when I need them, I cant wait for offline wallets and such and then take from their and then gamble Smiley

Storing them in a paper wallet and keeping that one in a bank, they are not a massive amount particularly but I don't like having access to it all the time because I make stupid transactions once in a while.

I think nope. it can still be hacked. if someone is using malware and your computer has been hack,
I think online wallet is also safe if you can add some verification on your wallet, my own use sms verification, it was impossible to be hacked
