How do you keep your bitcoins?

[linkme]

I just simply send Bitcoin to my wallet and leave it there, I don't send Bitcoin to anywhere so that I can easily save my Bitcoin

Me too! I created a new wallet and leave it there, I dont want to send my Bitcoin to anywhere

[BattalgiaTR]

I've around 0.3 bitcoins or so total and running two small faucet, hence can't keep my coins in anything difficult to have access to, to refuel my accounts and do payments, keeping them easily accessible in blockchain.info which is online and more secure than keeping it in a wallet.

I store my bitcoins in my electrum wallet in my PC.I have been using it for the past two years.Till now,i have not found any issues.We could set our transaction fee manually.There is no synchronizing problem in this wallet.

I also use the desktop wallet but its function is to saving bitcoin in the long run. One thing I do not like about desktop wallets like electrum is less flexibility. You can not use desktop wallets in various places like using online wallet

Why not electrum is flexible? Its fast and ease of use. You can connect through Tor or multisignsture wallet.
It can be also downloaded in your mobile phones and tablets through playstore and app store. Try to check'em out.

I keep my bitcoin through desktop and hardware wallets, actually in different addresses such as electrum and coinbase. I also use the ledger wallet nano for cold storage capacities. This allows me to safely store large amounts of Bitcoin.

The secure way is to keep your bitcoins in your offline wallet unless you need them to trade in the exchange. I have some amount in the exchange as well for trading purpose but mostly i keep them in wallet.

I keep my bitcoin in online wallet and this is good for me because anytime I can do trading with my bitcoin so my bitcoin is earning also like banks.

[RudyCenJia]

I can monitor through bitcoin in the android playstore, or I can access the bitcoin vip website to monitor the increase and decrease in bitcoin.

So far I've tried it like that and I'm satisfied and happy because wherever I can monitor and manage bitcoin I Have.

I have all my coins in on an online trading site (paxful) (low volume)

I plan on making a large investment very soon, and want to safely store all of my coins
I.E I basically want to drop a couple thousand, and keep them in the safest possible way, where I can revisit them in 5-10 years or so and reap the benefits, or cry about the loss.

What is the best way to do this, and what's the best way of ensuring a backup?

How do you currently store your coins

thanks in advance for any inputs

most I transfer Bitcoin into cash, a little longer I hosted ní to for of I use to for business purposes and gambling online

if you are going to invest thousands into btc, then I suggest getting a hardware walllet, the cheapest of these is around twenty-something Euros and the advantages are huge, particularly for those having multiple BTC (The additional security).

If you're making a "large investment" (is it really that large), I will suggest two options, and it inclines in the most important factor in all the wallets, "Security".

First I would suggest using offline wallets or the desktop wallets, because I think it has the max security in all kinds of wallets and can be accessed all the time; unlike online wallets who has that risk to be hacked and scammed.

Second is that, by having multiple wallets, try to explore every wallet or kinds of wallets. Then store bits of this and bits of that into those wallets and have it scattered, I think that is also considered as secured.

For more info in Kinds of Wallets try to read this thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1742228.0

Making investment 50% of bitcons, 50 %  hold on paper wallet..

Making investment 50% of bitcons, 50 %  hold on paper wallet..

That would be pretty cleaver but, you can adjust the percentage, it would be better if you would like to hold to 60% and 40% on investment (I personally not recommend investment though). Will it hurt if you could just stick here, join Signature Campaigns, because in investing it is very risky.

I am keeping my bitcoin in many wallets , I have duplicate online wallets and a paper wallet for saving bitcoins , The main reason I split my bitcoin into different wallets because I am preventing a high chance of hacking. If I put all of my bitcoin on just one wallet and a hacker sees it Im sure that the hacker will focus to hack my wallet , but If I split them and have a low quantity of bitcoin on each wallet hacker has a possibility that he will pass my wallet.

Im using cold wallet/cold storage because i can't afford hardware wallet yet and waiting times for them are huge now.
This is safe way to keep them, never store on exchange.

a hardware or an online wallet is quiet risk both, why? because in a hardware wallet you doesnt know when a virus may attack your pc , you need to secure it too, to avoid corrupted software, in online wallet hackers might be your enemy both they are risky but i more prefer a hardware wallet.
