I have used redundant USB flash drives in the past, and they are certainly better than no backup at all, but I now consider redundant paper exports of the private keys to be more robust. Paper documents have been known to survive for hundreds of years. The private keys can be a small part of other documents, and should never be labeled "Bitcoins".

I recently bought a Ledger Nano hardware wallet on which I stored the majority of my Bitcoins. On my Android phone I have about 0.5 BTC stored and a little on Poloniex, which I use for altcoin trading to increase my total volume of Bitcoins
Either a Nano or trezor are the best to keep your coins. Since i got my trezor there is not a week that I don't watch it. So it's not only safe, but also fun to watch and play with. it's make me interesting to have 1 nano or trezor or other hardware wallet. but now im not have more bitcoin, i have only 0.7btc maybe after i reach 10btc i will buying ledger/nano wallet.. Every Bitcoin is a money so i don't think you want to lose them Ledger wallet is really cheap, you get the best security using them Don't wait until you lose your coins to buy them, buy it now I store my Bitcoin at a online wallet and that is pretty good. And it also works very well. But I hope that more people will use is and it is also very safe and that is very good. But you never know what will happen later in the future. Doing the same thing for my low amounts wallets, but for my wallets with a large amount, I'm using a paper wallets. Its very secure and also very nice because no one can control it and its almost not hack-able.

Most of my coins are on blockchain and bittrex. The rest are stored in my bitcoin wallet. I don't have money for a trezor but when i do I will buy one and use it for my coins I don't use.

It is not safe to store your bitcoin in any exchange site because you do not have any control over these coins and they might get hacked or get down. just keep what you need for trading.

Anyway as you store your bitcoins in blockchain wallet and downloaded wallet which you have the private key, that is the safest ways to keep the bitcoins safe and to store them without any issues, no need to paper wallet.

I just have a small amount of bitcoin therefore online storage at blockchain.info is sufficient "although I don't recommend it", PC wallets are better since you at least control your bitcoins completely but sometimes inconvenient during use.
be careful with online wallet or such third parties. especially not to save a lot of your bitcoin. in the exchanger. today poloniex. mentioned that they were exposed to DDoS. be carefull

Iv'e been a long time user of coinbase as a wallet and their service has remained completely reliable.
Makes it pretty simple to store and send money, + you can make a new address (and label it) very easily.
Security is definitely important, however they offer 2 step verification and what not, but also splitting your assets is always a good idea.

You can find large number of wallets to store your bitcois. Its upon you to select the wallet based on your requirement as well the security features. Most users prefer offline wallet due to the hacking free option.

Many people store their Bitcoins at a online wallet and that is very good. Some people also store them on their own PC that is also good. But using the wallets are the best and that is very good. It is also very safe and secure and that is important.

I'm storing my bitcoins in a cold storage pure for the security measures you have to take these days with all these hackers. For low amounts I just use a online wallet of course so that is just a wallet where I can spend with.

I just bought a ledger wallet just a couple of days ago and it arrived today. I love using it and it is really easy to setup. I also keep about 0.1 in my Coinbase wallet.

I'm storing my bitcoins in a online wallets, its good secured but its not the best wallet of course, the fact why I use a online wallet is because its much easier than other wallets. I'm just using blockchain for it and its really easy for newbies also that are new with the bitcoin.

I think many people who using bitcoins always have an online bitcoin wallet and i think online bitcoin wallet is more easy to use and very easy to use, you only need internet.
