I store mostly on paper wallets and multiple online wallets (In which only 2 of them have been posted publicly and others are kept as a secret due to security purposes). Also a little bit of earned BTCitcoin on mining websites (reputable one's only).
I store my bitcoin in online market to keep it safe. I think in online you can a sure that your bitcoin is safe and no one’s will stealth or hack it. Having online wallet will help you to keep your bitcoin secure.

I store mine through offline wallet which cannot be access online, it is more safer than online wallet which is prone to hacking. I prefer this wallet since the last time, my wallet was about to access of some hackers out there, but luckily i manage to avoid that. I simply change my password and put 2fa, in that way i started to transfer my bitcoin to offline wallet, so now my online wallet is just a receiver and my main wallet is cannot be access by anyone.

Until you show the seed or private key to anyone, amount in your wallet will be safe from others. Sometime, when you log in to the online wallet. you may log in to the fake wallet site, which is same like the coinbase or blockchain site. Then your amount may erode from your wallet.

I've always wondered, how do you access them and store them? Do you store them on a computer that's not connected to the internet, or simply a USB stick? Isn't it a hassle everytime you need some of those offline coins? I've found blockchain.info incredibly easy and secure.

Diversified saving of bitcoin is the better way to have our earnings be there with increased security. Most of the time I have all my savings in the blockchain.info which is quite good to give the better usage experience without much complications and availability of high end security features.

Hello everyone as the title says ^
Do you store your bitcoins online or on a wallet on your computer, perhaps cold storage?
I do store my bitcoins online regardless if it's huge or not. I'm confident for its security as my gmail has a 2fa security and also my wallet. Thus, there is no reason for my wallet to get hacked. Using hardware wallet is also great to use however, it's not convininent if you need it immediately.
Normally for us who want to use our bitcoin anytime we will prefer to hold it online.
I have my bitcoins secured in exchanges, that way I can buy altcoins when there is a dump and sell right away when the price recovers.

I do that for very small amount of bitcoin.
I think storing bitcoin in wallet as much easier and convenient .

I have a new laptop with which I work everyday and keep Electrum for daily use, not big amounts of bitcoin are stored into it. I have an old laptop in which I have installed Linux and have gone online only to install Electrum and this laptop will never see internet again until the day I will spend my funds. I have the majority of my funds stored in this old laptop which I keep safe in a desk in my home. I have the seeds stored in different places in case some fire or some thing like "force majure" happens. I think I am safe. Maybe I buy a hardware wallet soon but it is not necessary for me at the moment.

I don't think that storing the bitcoins on web wallet or on any exchange is a good idea because even if you are using the security features like 2fa, you are basically securing your account. We have seen that the online portals like exchanges are not much secure, hackers can directly steal your private keys from the site's database. Thus it is recommended to maintain a cold storage even if the amount is low. Securely generated paper wallet is a good option to go with.

On my cellphone and computer.  It is easy for me to access my bitcoin if I have it stored in my cellphone.  Since never I take away or far away from me my cellphone.  I always check the bitcoin price.  I also have some in another wallet, and make use of it for trading and investing.  It is good to have many wallet for safety but I had some hard times thinking of passwords and sites I should go to.

It is not advised to store your bitcoin on exchange wallets. the only bitcoins that should be left in there are the bitcoins used for trading. The excess should be move on a safer wallet like hardware or desktop wallets.

Well actually I use blockchain , there I store them , but sometimes I don't feel in safe with them ...........
If you don't feel safe with blockchain then you are right that they are not safe to store your bitcoin, It is even better to just have paper wallet or hardware wallet or even desktop wallet because it is much safer than online wallet because blockchain has a record of hack attacks so if i were you i will rather try other wallet to be safe than to just stick with risky online wallets.

Name one.

I store bitcoins in some wallets, such as blockchain, coinbase, and some wallet exchangers like yobit and poloniex, of course I store in wallet exchangers for trading and make a profit, albeit a bit but that's enough. The important thing is security and do not forget password if you use a lot of wallet

I see you are storing our bitcoins online which is risky if you are doing it for long term holding.
However, I appreciate what you did because you were able to minimize the risk but diversifying your investment in
different exchange sites, also it is convenient when it's online since you can trade it directly.

I just use a online wallet. To be more specific, I use coinbase. I really like it but now they don't pay for your transaction fees.
