Cold storage.
Use something like a Trezor or Ledger - hardware wallet.
Or, if you're really trying to hide something, use a paper wallet.

Trust nothing, and use secure sources to store them in your digital interfaces through your computer.

What is the safest way to keep bitcoins.

Taken dangers like hacking, losing in to account!
Here in our country we have an online wallet where we can put our bitcoins and also our money which is our currency so I think it is the safest way because we can use it just of us. In case of hacking, I recommend to make at least 2-3 wallet to store your bitcoin so and do not put all your bitcoin in one wallet.

Actually, I do not know a good way to avoid hacking an online wallet or not to go to a bad person or lose it. The only thing I do is double the wallet where a wallet transacts in trading or selling and the other one puts the money that I earn. Double check on my transaction people who are really trustworthy. That's my way.

There isn't much difference between the safety level of:
- a paper wallet
- a cold (offline) wallet
- a hardware wallet

the difference is in the price and usability.
- a paper wallet is allmost free (the cost of a piece of paper), but can only be used to collect unspent outputs. When you need the funds, you have to sweep the paper wallet and throw it away. It's also a bit tricky to make a paper wallet in the correct way

- a cold (offline) wallet costs a lot more, since you need an old PC that can never be connected to the internet as soon as you start using it to store your funds. However, if you set it up correctly, it's not that hard to use, and you can send and receive as much as you want, but you can also access the full feature set (like signing messages, creating raw transactions, broadcasting,...)

- a hardware wallet (trezor, ledger nano S,...) is actually pretty cheap, can be used to send and receive, can usually be used in different places,... It is my personal favorite. you are bound by some restrictions tough (for example, if you use the official ledger chrome plugin, it can not be used to sign messages)

Use the hardware purse as much as possible, so that the hacker can't steal your password as long as it is offline. In addition, you can spread the investment, you can buy some other encrypted money, some of the encrypted currency is still very potential.

Yes, cold storage is the safe way. But basically to keep your bitcoin safe abd protect from hacking, you must have to create your unique account and password. And avoid to share this information to anyone. Also do not write this information on paper shits or in computer file. By that way you can protect your bitcoin as well as your account.

You should install full 2fa security into your bitcoin storage account, or you can use hardware, cold wallets are also possible, no one can break into

The safest way to store bitcoin is by preparing tools such as hard wallets, so every time we will do the transaction we are required to connect the equipment to the computer to log into the bitcoin address that we have.

Hard wallet is safe, yeah, it is really safest for someone want to keep Bitcoin for a long time.
But, do not let this concept make you forget the nature of hard wallet.
It is also a digital hardware, it may be broken someday, so do not forget backup your private key and check the health status of your device.

Bitcoin is safe way for the use to save and transaction process. So you will change the password any time and don't share you account information to other people. Don't save your password. Bitcoin is good to use for the saving process. You will gather for the business process. If need to more save you will add your mail ID it will give alait so you will check the account will be active.

You may use offline wallets such as Ledger wallet or Trezor wallet.
Your bitcoins are 100% secure with offline wallet because your private key is completely off the grid.

Putting money on the internet is a very risky thing. Somebody may be able to hack your account and transfer all your money on it. Same as putting it in bitcoin. Security in bitcoin is still a 50/50. But there are different ways of storing your bitcoins. You can use different wallets to save it. To make sure that your bitcoin is safe is that to make sure that the wallet you are using is secured.

Securities of your bitcoin is your own risk. Backup your fund offline is the easiest way yet secure way, then make sure your password is stronger and use 2 factor authentication code, if you're using mobile app enable fingerprint unlock, if you're using samsung enable Knox Security. Always update your Antivirus program

There are several ways for it.

Desktop Wallet
A desktop wallet offers a number of advantages over an online wallet. While online wallets are easily accessed from anywhere in the world, they are also more vulnerable to potential hacking. Desktop wallets, on the other hand, are accessed only via your private computer, with personal security keys stored just on that machine. Thus, exposure of your security key online is reduced. Nonetheless, desktop wallets are still susceptible to hacks if your machine gets infected with malware designed to root out keys and steal Bitcoins.

Hardware Wallet
More secure than a desktop wallet is a hardware wallet. These wallets are bits of hardware, external devices like USB sticks which you can carry around on your person. An added benefit of a hardware wallet is the complete anonymity with which you can transact. There is no personal information linked to the hardware, so no identifying data which could be leaked. Hardware wallets are resilient to malware, and if you happen to lose the wallet you'll be able to recover the funds using a seed phrase.

Paper Wallet
A paper wallet is also a relatively safe way of storing Bitcoin, although it requires a bit more advanced understanding of how digital currencies work. Generate a paper wallet online using any number of dedicated websites, or generate the wallet offline for even greater security. Paper wallets are stored easily because they don't take up a great deal of space, and they also offer true anonymity: they are simply a Bitcoin seed written in some way on a piece of paper.

Physical Coins
Services are cropping up which allow Bitcoin investors to buy physical Bitcoins. The coin you purchase will have a tamper-proof sticker covering a predetermined amount of Bitcoin. In order to purchase the physical coin, you may need to pay a slight premium over the value of the Bitcoin that you're buying, owing to the cost of the manufacture and shipment of the coin itself.
