I'm curious how people with a lot of currency; even if it's just $7,000.00, store it?

I've seen it done a lot of different ways in the US.

I have faith that one day this forum will get threads where people won't just repeat their previous posts or what others have already stated in the same thread. Also that people will stop acting like BTC is toy-money and start holding vendors accountable. Naive? Maybe.

Never have a big amount of cash but if ever I have some, I will open a savings account and put it in a bank.  I never saw someone who just store their money especially if its big.  It will be prone for fungi to grow in there.  Some put it inside their safe.

If i had that money, i would divide them into several storage areas, 50% will I save in the form of gold, 30% will I save in a bank, 20% will I use to buy bitcoin and split it 10% will I use to trade and 10% again I would use to hold bitcoin in the cold storage.

Just regular savings account for me but I also got some money stored in premium/liquid domains. For larger amounts it would definitely be real estate. As much as I love Bitcoin, I only have money that I can afford to lose invested in it. Bitcoin is nothing more than a gamble at this point and there is no way I would gamble away my savings.

a bit of gold and a regular bank account, probably stock up on bitcoin depending how much i have left by the end of the year after taxes (i've never earned enough to worry about paying income tax until this year)

Be radical, have principles, be absolute, be that which the bourgeoisie calls an extremist: give yourself without counting or calculating, don't accept what they call ‘the reality of life' and act in such a way that you won't be accepted by that kind of ‘life', never abandon the principle of struggle.

I would buy share with stock market.  I will join  mutual funds.  I will save some on a bank.  Keep some on my wallet and some in my cabinet.  If I have only money. Grin  But the best thing that I would do is to join a mutual fund it is really good thing to have one according to a friend of mine rather than keeping it in a bank with small interest.  Though I fell more safer if I have an investment and a savings.

The only things that make sense in the stock market are secured dividends and bonds. I know a lot of credible financial people who say the same. Flipping stocks is stupid especially if it's less than a quarter million where you don't actually make much for the risk.

Mine is in a savings account making interest and then a little in platinum. I can't even withdraw from savings without a long process physically. It's protected from cyber attacks.

I have faith that one day this forum will get threads where people won't just repeat their previous posts or what others have already stated in the same thread. Also that people will stop acting like BTC is toy-money and start holding vendors accountable. Naive? Maybe.

Well, it is too early to store all one's money in Bitcoins. And a bank account is pretty much essential in dailiy life. I store %90 of my fiat currency in bank accounts with good intrest.

Beat me, same here.

Except some higher percentage in paper bills and gold coins, wall mounted strongbox mostly protected by my own presence.
Local interest rates are not even noteworthy.

I always kept my money in my bank accounts, use many accounts at different banks, and if a bank has some "accident" not lose much money because other money is in my bank accounts of other banks.

If people have big amount of money it would be best I think to divide it to few different banks. It's safest way to keep it. If money received from not very legal activities or it's didn't taxed i think it's best to keep it in bitcoins or or buy something which have stable price and sell when you need money. And I think it would be worst idea to keep cash at home.

If i am in that situation having that amount of money well i will divide it and store in different banks some are on a vault hide on the secret room .i think that was safe enough and i thought that people also do that were not same thinking but the nearest is similarities unless the people who have that is a genius which can think more different ways than hiding on a vault and banking .

If it's in a savings account only some ATM networks allow withdraw and only like 800/24h at $200 intervals. You have to do a long physical process to withdraw bulk sums above some amount like $5,000 or something. This means the only attack vector for someone who steals your info is using a "mule" which you'd easily mitigate because they'd take a long time to take a decent portion of the balance and you can freeze the account in minutes.

Mine is in 0.05% savings accounts at just one branch, and then I have some money in platinum ingots waiting for a +=10% profit. I have like 4% of my capital in BTC in cold storage.

I have faith that one day this forum will get threads where people won't just repeat their previous posts or what others have already stated in the same thread. Also that people will stop acting like BTC is toy-money and start holding vendors accountable. Naive? Maybe.

its a good idea to divide and store in different banks, its like don't put all of your egg in one basket, i like your idea bro. and this is a good way choose what account that we can used like to make invest, to pay the bills, or to spend by buying some product. and i think the rich people will do like this way, because they do not want to put all of their money in one single banks, they just want to avoid government suspicious.

First of all, I don't have much in fiat cash. Whenever I am able to save a substantial amount of money, I immediately invest them in mutual funds, bullion, or equities. Right now, I am having less than $100 in my bank account, and another $50 or so in physical cash. I am holding two credit cards as well, and therefore my cash liquidity is somewhat better.

Whenever I get a chance to buy it lower, I do that as I know I will make profit...
That way, I store it digitally and get something for the same... Wink

you are doing pretty reasonable . Bitcoin will only grow , and gold is always a price , since it is not izavisit of the economy of any state

Bitcoin will replace paper money , and I think it will happen in the nearest 20 years . And the fact that you are actively acquire Bitcoins proves that you think about your future
