How do you store your bitcoins?

[Zz]

Hello everyone as the title says ^
Do you store your bitcoins online or on a wallet on your computer, perhaps cold storage?

I have several different methods;

I have Metal plate printed, paper wallets

my main computer operating system linux and using electrum wallet.

of course  blockchain.info - web wallet and iphone aplication.

A lot of people have a paper wallet and I'm also having one due to the fact its very good secured and offline.

I have been saving in coinbase wallet but I have future plans of downloading the bitcoin core wallet into my desktop and have them saved there.

If your savings are considerable you may want to opt for a cold wallet solution such as a paper wallet or hardware wallet as desktop wallets are quite vulnerable if you ever click on something you shouldn't. It's fine for smaller amounts as a "spending account", but if you're looking to store a lot of coins as your "savings account", I'd do it offline!

Jaxx.io is all the wallet I need.  I don't hold a lot, nor do I want a lot.  Btw, when is jaxx going to support monero?

I had kept the Bitcoins in your wallet on your computer and the backup on a flash drive, but the wallet already weighs more than 100 GB, hard sync, so sent over the Internet services and exchange and store

I store Bitcoin in my hardisk wallet so it is impossible to steal my Bitcoin. My wallet is secure enough even if my harddisk has been stolen, there will be a way to recover those Bitcoin

I preffer like to store my bitcoin in online wallet, becouse it is so practicaly. I can easily withdraw my profit from trading to my online wallet. Its litle risky to talk about it.

Yes, me too, if I have now good enough number of bitcoin, maybe that would be my move too, put it on the online wallet in bitcoin value because it is growing as the bitcoin value increases when you have  it on you online wallet and have it save.

I am using rush wallets for now and they have been working fine for me since a long time, actually a new service and I am a early adopter of it. Some people told me that xapo is now asking identity which I wonder is a scam attempt ?

It is always wise to store your bitcoin in more than two places including hardware and online wallet. If you are holding a good amount of bitcoin, prefer to keep majority of your holding in your hardware wallet and never disclose the account number to anyone. Keep small amounts in online wallets for quick transfer and trading purpose.

This way you can keep most of your holdings safe and away from hackers. Even if the online wallet gets hacked, you will still have the majority in your hardware wallet. never keep all your bitcoins in a single place.

I store my bitcoin in a desktop wallet in a computer that is encrypted and never online, it is a mistake to store an significant amount of money in an online wallet since you are not the sole possessor of your private keys and you are subject to hacks.

Some would also say it's a mistake to store a huge amount of bitcoins on a computer - offline or online - as they're so susceptible by nature to a variety of disasters, versus something such as an encrypted multisig paper wallets.

I don't know any of them, but if there are people that really think like that, then literally no form of storing coins will nurse their feeling of security. It's beyond being ultra paranoid.

From my understanding, there is no better option than storing your digital wallet files offline in numerous usb drives and other hdd's.

That also goes up for paper wallets if they are created under the right circumstances. That's why it comes handy to have an old fashion printer without any features beside its main purpose.

USB's are just computers which means they're just as susceptible as desktop apps. I don't think one can be ultra paranoid when it comes to their life savings (which is the amount of coins I'm saying that computers aren't secure enough, I'm talking about a lot).

I'm using a desktop wallet, Electrum to be specific. I'd be afraid of using a paper wallet, it can get damaged really easily and I find storing documents hard and annoying . It's easier to keep the file on a usb stick.

threads full of idiots who don't know what they're talking about.
Your coins are as safe as you want em to be. Just don't click any weird links

At least some of them start their posts with a capital letter

I store my bitcoins at Coinbase wallet. I think it can be stolen, this is a reason why I don't really trust online wallet,  but I still use it @-@

to me i store my bitcoin in blockchain and yobit to me i think it s one of the most trusted and secure online wallet i do not prefer to any other wallet because i always consider blockcain and yobit the best online wallet.

[Yakamoto]

I have an overwhelming portion of the Bitcoin I owned stored either in a lightweight wallet I own or I have them stored on an online wallet hosted by blockchain.

If I cared more about the security of small amounts of funds I would be placing a lot more of them into wallets I have on external hard drives I have stored away.

[Viscount]

I use several comptuters with different wallets on them

[Vasilije69]

I store bitcoin in electric wallets on my computer.
