I store it using my wallet but I have some of it at my other wallet so if in case my other wallet will be hacked then I will have some.But I also invest it so that it will grow and be able to convert it into some cash for many purposes.
Everyone is storing their coins in their specific wallets. That is plain obvious, but by answering 'how to you store your bitcoins' is quite very specific and straightforward. A very good question indeed, this will help new people here in the community. Having multiple wallets is quite good but, being hacked is on human error. You might not confirmed all the necessary things to have it secured or you used a not so good wallet.

Hello everyone as the title says ^ Do you store your bitcoins online or on a wallet on your computer, perhaps cold storage?
I had my Ledger nano s wallet - i store few bitcoins here. also i do maintain few bitcoin on blockchain account. little portions i hold in paper wallet. I much prefer on my offline wallet as much i can store, that keeps me a stress relief from hackers. Online wallets just an ease to make the bitcoin transactions.

So mostly everyone think that the most secure way to store the Bitcoin(s) are using a paper wallet? yes they are secure, it is getting more reliable if you are using the multisig approach
Are paper wallets actual paper wallets? Also, what's a multisig approach if you don't mind me asking as I am really curious to know how to properly safeguard my bitcoins.

Hello everyone as the title says ^ Do you store your bitcoins online or on a wallet on your computer, perhaps cold storage?
I keep my bitcoin in a wallet that is saved in my flash drive and in my laptop just in case something happens to either one of them, at least I have a copy of my wallets to both. I have this trust issue when saving things online because as a computer major, I know the capability of a computer and programs when used by a person good with computers.

I use an online wallet with currently nothing inside. That will be my wallet for everything including alt coins and bitcoins. Website is liqui.io. My offline wallet is with myetherwallet.com. It comes with a JSON file for me to download. I made a backup on my drive and made it a 2-Step Verification scheme for more security.

A cold wallet is not a bitcoin container. It's just a place to store your wallet and passwords. do not get me wrong. It can not contain your bitcoin. All authentication takes place online.

Hello everyone as the title says ^ Do you store your bitcoins online or on a wallet on your computer, perhaps cold storage?
I store my bitcoins on an application in a mobile phone or Android phone, I do not know if it is a cold storage but I know that it is an online wallet because I cannot access it without an internet connection. It is much easier to use because it has an application in a mobile phone so I can easily used it or I can see if I am lossing money or not. And it is pretty easy to use I have no complaints about it and any violent reaction because you can easily convert you bitcoins into real cash using a bank yes they have a partnership with a banknthat it pretty cool.

If you are capable of getting a hardware wallet then you should get a hardware wallet because that is the best and safest type of wallet for bitcoin and it is helps you to avoid hackers online because hardware wallet are offline and they are encrypted so they are so safe to put a lot of loads of cryptocurrency whether it is bitcoin or other type of crypto.

I will save my Bitcoin in my wallet,and store it in my USB and my computer,surely I do extra security. using a difficult password so hackers can not figure it out and the password changes regularly. and I suggest you to secure your password,use example characters like this (R% $ # ^ &) Such passwords are difficult to hack.

I have an online wallet in liqui.io and offline wallets in myetherwallet. I'm also getting to know blockchain.info as another wallet for my different coins in case I get paid in alt coins from joining campaigns. These wallets were recommended to me by my friends who're into bitcoins as well. The best I gotta say is myetherwallet since you get a walley file to hide in your phone or PC.

I use myether wallet because it is the most preferred wallet of the professional traders. Just try to research about the different ways to store your bitcoins then from that try to choose the one that suit's your needs.

Hardware wallet for the biggest bulk of my bitcoin. The rest is on a paper wallet.
I don't store anything online unless I am trading with it.

I store also my bitcoins online because i have not any offline wallets i have them in my download folder but i didn't do anything with it. I have also some hardware but i will use it in the future. I keep them mostly on my blockchain wallet i have so far no problems with it only sometimes the fees are really high.

For bitcoins i store it in a online wallet called blockchain. I even have the app installed on my phone so i can check it whenever i want but i use my 4g for that i don't trust public wifi's.
I also store my other coins like litecoin on my litecoin i even store it in exchanges sometimes.
