Actually, the best way to keep your bitcoin safe is put it on online wallet because it has a private key that you’re the only one who knows it. In addition to that, many bitcoin users put their bitcoin in online wallet. However, some people still use the cold storage or hardware wallet that you need to install to your computer and it also has a private key.

Probably yes it will be the best way since it can be accessed and used almost anytime since it is flexible. However the cold storage or hardware wallets have more security than of the online wallets, even though they have their own private keys you still can't be sure when will the 'hackers' will attack you so I recommend to use hardware wallets (extremely recommended if you have large amount of Bitcoin or converted cash). But if you just have a few amounts and just wanted to be used in your everyday transactions then online wallets are more versatile to use.

The safe way to keep your bitcoins is to use a wallet that you know the seed or the private keys. This is the best way to keep your bitcoins and like in electrum there's a way that you can restore your bitcoins and it's up to you on how you are going to back up your seed/private keys. You can just also do it by writing it on a piece of paper.

To add to yours, after writing them on the piece of paper you can either dig the ground and save it inside a box under the ground or better keep the paper in a personal safe or bank safe and I'd say that's 100% secured.

I would buy a Hardware Wallet. I am very satisfied with my Ledger Nano S, and Trezor also seems to be a good product.

The only best way that i know to make sure your bitcoin isin safe is storing it in a hardware in that way you can make sure that hacking is inpossible because it is offline so internet hacking could not work in your wallet the only problem is versatility so you cannot use it like a normal web wallet.

Well the safest ways are probably using cold storage and some examples of cold storage include the following:

1. Using a hardware wallet which is usually something shaped like a USB that you plug your computer to send payments, some really populare hardware wallets include Ledgerwallets and Trezors.

2. Another example of offline wallets would include using a paper wallet which is a document that you can carry around that has everything to use your wallets, etc private keys etc.

3. Something else that would be an offline wallet would be to attach bitcoin to something physical such as physical bitcoin but they are not mainstream and less  safer than your other options.

Hardware wallet will be one of the best way to store your bitcoins. Though it will be costing you some bucks but it is secured if you'll buy your very own hardware wallet. Another good choice is to use bitcoin core or electrum.

If I am not wrong, then Coinbase was hacked earlier. Also, who is stupid enough to keep their coins in an exchange wallet?

I have done some research on this finally found that keeping private key of any wallet like blockchain.info may give ability choose the bitcoin if it split like ETH and ETC so i am going with keeping private key.

Safest way to keep bitcoins is to store it in online wallet and please activate 2FA security on both wallet and emails. You can also use coldwallet but I hope you won't lose it or destroy it.

There were lots of articles regarding this. Although, there is no possible another application that can hold BTC, they usually get hacked by experts. The best thing to do is to widthdraw BTC in form of our currency then make account in a bank, for future investment.

The safest way is to download the full wallet or at least like exodus and keep it in secure machine, may be separate machine that wont be connected to internet or a virtual machine (without internet)

Hardware wallet for the win! I am loving the Nano S. Easy use, easy backup and just a well designed system.

Really, it is your choice wherever you are more comfortable.

I could only make suggestions on how good the wallets are but not take biased assumptions out of it. But since this is a question out of curiosity and opinion I will have to make it brief as possible.

I would suggest not making only one kind of wallet but different kind of them. Every wallet has its own advantages and disadvantages, but when you're only concerned with security then - having online wallets is quite good if you ask me. I has its own security measures just make sure to confirm everything when you use it. And then there is also a cold storage or what we call hardware wallet which has pretty much have more security than any other wallets (I'm not saying that it has no disadvantages in security). Unlike online wallets it is offline and will be stored in your PC. Just take note that if you support it with your PC having also the maximum security (like Mac) then it will be the 'best' to store it anyways.
