Question about saving a large amount of coins

[smho_16]

I would answer you just as I have done myself. In this point don't trust anyone, no one, only trust a hardware wallet if you really wanna have peace of mind.

If you have large amount of coins than you would have no problem buying a hardware wallet as is very much worth the money in this situation.

you can use any bitcoin wallet for storing any amount of money you want that does not matter but if you want extra security then i will suggest make a paper wallet. paper wallets are just an offline backup nothing else now if you have one bitcoin address then you will have its private key to.now in case your wallet goes down for a day then you can simply use that private key on any other wallet and you can control your full money just like before and also remember you have to keep it safe

[wintermeasures]

what is the safest way to save a large amount of coins, is it paper ? if so can paper coins be transferred to any wallet?

also web wallets what are some of the most respected ones, is blockchain.info a good wallet, if it goes down can i redeem my bitcoins on another site?

also with blockchain do i have to re backup my coins every time i spend some?

I Don't suggest you to Use Web Wallets For Storing A Large Amount Of Btc Because You Can't Able to Get Your Btc Back If your Wallet Got Hacked By Someone So That I Think That If you Want to Store A High Amount Of Btc Then I Suggest You to Store Them In a Paper Wallet....

i would suggest to store your coins in different addresses and in paper wallet, that way you will have less risk of losing your coins plus it will be much safer than storing in other wallet service

From personal experience I really recommend paper wallets, there are tutorials on youtube.

One note, never re-use a paper wallet address. I make sure I withdraw all the amount from each address when I need the funds.

Having said that, I do like the look of the new Trezor2.

I liked the idea in this topic

Unfortunately it's a topic with 5 years old plus or minus, I don't know if it really works now but probably yes.

i recommend you to use paper and offline wallet to save large amount of coins
or use physical wallet and trezor
but blockchain is safe too if you use all the security feature but yea sometimes hacker smarter than us

Achow101 seems  already answered regarding  on OP's queries, He's  right i would  not recommend too on storing  huge amount of bitcoins  in a web wallet  because  if they go down its  not possible to recover all your  coins  because   theres  private keys  unlike on desktop wallets  which is more safer you could able to recover  it as  long you have the  important informations.

Correct. An offline cold wallet, a paper wallet or even a hardware wallet is the way to go. You don't want to have all that bitcoin and lose it.

I generally agree with paper wallets, but it also depends on the set up.  A busy office space, a house hold that is hectic, these may be places that a whole lot of money can be destroyed or stolen quick.  A friend of mine created a side token for a halfway house that he was running.  People coming and going, some straight out of detox or off the street, paper wallet not the way to go

I think Software wallets can be backup on USB or even the whole wallet is there, or a hardware wallet, which is basically the same as that.  The environment sets the need and use too.

Paper wallets are the safest as far as I know but make sure you don't lose track of the private key. I wouldn't trust any exchange with a large amount of bitcoin based on what happened with mtgox and cryptsy.

I'm guessing cold storage. Encrypting and copying your keys in multiple places. It's rare, but sometimes compressed files get corrupted, so it's important to keep multiple copies in different places.

Correct, dont  trust   on answer which are commonly suggested by others   on using web wallets  on  storing  large amounts  of bitcoin as   you said  hardware wallets would be the on of the best  storage  in this  kind of situation and  also  you could  use  desktop wallets  which  no matter what  happen as  long you have  your  private keys  there would be no problem  on your coins.

The safest one I'd say paper wallet (hide it somewhere safe) and cold storage. Get some flash or hdd, backup yourwallet and place it somewhere safe.
