I do store my coins into a paper wallet and the only way to manage that wallet is my android phone. And i know no one is trying to steel my coins
it is possible that if someone steals your phone and instantly take your coins. and I think the paper wallet is not suitable for daily transactions, very complicated
Well if someone ever did steal my phone, then they would need my fingerprint to get into it, in the first place.

I store my bitcoins in my pc wallet (multibit) and in my android phone (blockchain app).
I have a backup for all my wallets.

Most of them are online on an exchanged and used for trading.
The coins that are not used are safely in my wallet.
lol it is very risky to save a lot of your bitcoin in exchange, they could have gone deceptive, like what was done with mt GOX
so it's better not to use a third party to save your bitcoin

Its what on my mind these days, I planned to safely store some btc on my wallet and use some on exchanger. Lets say i have 1 btc, then i'll put 0.5 on wallet and 0.5 on exchanger. I know its a safe way, but would it be better if I store all 1btc on the exchanger and use all of it to trade instead of let 0.5 sitting idly?

Does it mean your computer is very secure? If you have bitcoin Core software in your computer, it means it is connected to internet.

I have been excessively overconfident, but looking at the possibility of increasing my bitcoin amount, perhaps it could be a good time to look for a reliable way to store my bitcoins. I am thinking about some cold storage, but I don't know how reliable is my current e-wallet (xapo).

I personally enjoy my bitcoin Trezor and use it to store about 10btc, the rest is stored offline in paper wallets. Also have some in my phone as well.
Thing is to keep small amounts in many places to reduce chances of anything to happen, at least to a consistent part of your capital.

For me its safe to store your coins in blockchain and put some 2 factor authentication in login to prevent hackers tpo login in your account.
You can also try some offline storage if you want your coins in long term..

I use an online wallet just for daily transactions like gambling and that sort of stuff. I use a hardware wallet as my cold wallet.

I store it in a Ledger HW.1, which is basically a Trezor with a laptop as a screen. It's super-cheap, at only $15.  I'd totally recommend it.

I think best one is an e-wallet with 2fa and cold storage (which protects with reputable insurance company)...

i am very interested in Multisignature Wallets these days. they sound awesome. you create a wallet which will require two sets of separate signatures in order to spend the bitcoin, then you keep the two wallets (two signatures) on two different machines. they can be both offline too. then the chance of both of them getting infected is reduced dramatically.

I'm using an online wallet because it's more convenient in small and fast transactions, If I have some for cold storage though I think an offline wallet or paper wallet would be a decent choice.
