Storing Bitcoin in an exchange isn't the best solution , you know . I'm not sure how much do you have but you should consider trying the following : Desktop wallets , Hardware wallets , Paper wallets (depends on how much you have and what they are for) .
I personally feel more comfortable with btc so I store everything I have in BTC , It's probably hard to believe but it's real . I'm just a teenager after all ,I don't have bills to pay or anything to worry about so it all depends on on how much you need to spend/bills/food etc ..

Maybe You heard about Cryptsy, exchange that went bust with all their users money.
You should consider moving your funds ouf of exchange for safety reasons,
just like #OmegaStarScream said.
Why storing funds in fiat? Use BTC and some offline wallet on your hdd. Dont forget to back the wallet up.

I suppose you mean investing in hardware.
OP should be ready to take the risk of losing using this strategy (although less risky than storing his coins somewhere he doesn't control his funds).
Reaching ROI by mining is really hard right now and it's not getting easier.

I don't recommend leaving much money on an exchange. Just enough to make your trades.  I lost some this way.  You could leave a little with coinbase but still maybe most of it on an offline wallet.

Trading is not always stable, sometimes up and sometimes down, mostly you need to hold to save your funds.

Invest in a hardware wallet like Trezor and store most of your coins in there, until you are ready to trade. Do not send all your coins to any of the exchanges at once. Send some small amounts and trade them and rinse and repeat until you have accomplished your goals.

We first saw Mt Gox and now Cryptsy, so it seems these exchanges just cannot get their act together even though strict regulations are enforced since the Mt Gox situation.

There are no strict regulations enforced on these exchanges. That is the problem. If there were, they would've reported the thefts a long time ago before even trying to fix the situation. Several other exchanges did exactly that. Disclose that hey were hacked, and present a plan on how to recover the losses and reimburse everybody.

Biggest problem with the exchanges still seems to be social engineering and bugs in the engines. Even controlled banks lose millions each year due to human error, which shows that it is impossible to make a perfect system and stuff like this can always happen. The challenge for the exchanges is to minimize their losses in case this happens, e.g. by having low value hot wallets.

That said, try to store as little on exchanges as possible. Especially the smaller ones that have not been around very long. The bigger ones are now much more strictly regulated and have learned to take security more serious.

I think you should store your money or bitcoin on offline wallet and just left the spendable amount on exchanger I think it's less risky than stored all of your bitcoin on exchanger, you don't have ultimate controll over your bitcoin or private key

We're the government require them to pay tax? then there should have regulation about these and that if they don't report such events like being hacked, they are liable to the extent that they pay every penny of client's lost coins.

You must study carefully storing money or investing it might be profitable if you know what specific currency to buy and sell afterwards, for me if you can deal with it any strategy will works if you know what to do.

Everything is a make or break with your investments. That's why you really need to be careful what investments are you going to take.

[ViralSteve]

you can buy gold with a part of your savings if you don't plan on using them anytime soon

[n0ne]

Most of the money earned will be used for the day to day living. 
Only a mere part of regular earning can be used in some business.
Now short term investments can be made through bitcoin so to
get a saving for the future.

  you trust only usable bitcoin members and you achieve only achievement not for money earning.

[Amph]

use the minimum for trading, you don't need much money on the exchange because there is leverage, big leverage help to have low amount and play with that

every profit you make from it send it to the cold storage

[hasiramasenju]

do not ever save all your money in exchange for long term because this is not a good option and as you know that some exchange become scam and got hacked and my advice is you should be have your personal wallet to save all your money i think it more secure than save money at exchange

what is do is that i deposit any amount that i want to invest in trading and do my trades and after that i try to withdraw as soon as i am done with the trades that i wanted to make, this can be one day or a couple of days but i do my best not to leave any money on exchangers anymore.
