[scyth33]

[willope]

On the blockchain...

[scyth33]

Trezor Wallet (Sorry I didn't read your thread title properly.)

what the title says  

I keep my coins on localbitcoins.com wallet.
I`m going to sell all my coins before 1 August.This might be a stupid decision,but i don`t care.
I`m not a long time btc holder.
I`m curious what will happen with all the bitcoins storaged in offline wallets,when some hard fork happens and bitcoin splits into two different coins.

[klf]

I'm keeping most of my coins in blockchain online wallet and some are in electrum wallet. I don't think any issue in keeping our bitcoins any of the online or offline wallets. I don't want to sell any of my coins so I didn't put in any of the exchanges. If I get a chance then I will buy some more if prices go down some more.

The safest place to keep your bitcoin of course, hardwallet like trezor and ledger. But I also am putting some in my exchanger and a trading site but with 2fa. I know everyone says it is not safe to leave it there because there is a tendency it might get lost but there's no harm in trying too. But most of them are kept in my hardwallet though.

[Pursuer]

I am keeping them where they belong!

about 2 years ago I did some distribution of funds between stuff that I want to do. here is the general idea:
1. 60% is for hodling long term and it will always be kept in an offline storage. aka paper wallet.
2. 30% is for trading. which I usually end up trading altcoins with not that much of bitcoin/fiat trading!
3. 10% is for spending. I usually buy stuff from the internet, pay for subscriptions, buy cheap gift cards, buy things that are with discount,...

and nothing has changed about any of this so far.

[Amph]

so offline wallet/exchange/services?

always offline on a cold storage of any kind, it doesn't really matter as long as they are offline they are safe from everything, wallet.dat format is the best

backup only the private key is not the best idea if you have hidden address, but i also want to take a risk and i'll leave a small amount on kraken, to see what will happen

I'm keeping it on my ledger nano s... it's segwit compatible already

Keeping your coin ? Offline and online wallets?
Why bothering yourself for such a thing,just do a simple thing.convert all of your bitcoin into altcoin(potential altcoin of course not a shitty one) and then hold it.
You will lose it ? Nah no,because iam holding an altcoin not a bitcoin.

What happen if segwit fail? So what? Worst case bitcoin price will only drop how about altcoin ? And in the near future we can see another 'segwit' or whatever they called it.

So what happen if it's successfull ? Considering yourself investing in longrun.

Nothing to lose right ? So simple

Most of them I keep in the exchanges. I know that is not very popular around here, but I feel they are almost equally self there than me having a wallet that could be broken or stolen too. Probably sounds nuts.

Yes, nothing to lose except free Bitcoin on the split chain, which you can sell again for real bitcoin. Unless you want fiat of course.

I dont have an offline wallet but I got Electrum which makes me feel safe from before until now.
All my funds from Coinbase and other online wallets are now safer.
This can be a big blast so better be ready to anything that could happen.

[Sniper44]

in an offline (cold) storage. it really doesn't matter what FUD is floating around regarding August 1, i know what i know and with the small risks that August 1 has i keep holding coins and will continue buying more of your cheap coins below $2000 if it goes there ever again.

[goinmerry]

what the title says  

As long as it wasn't an online wallet it should be fine.

Im using Electrum as it can be considered as one of the best choice wallet if ever those so called chain split will happen. But still today, Im using an online wallet (or should I say exchange) just to use their service as they're the only one who can have cashout feature or using bitcoin for other services.

But in that case if there is a split, you will not have coins on both chains right? You can sell your alt coin for any one BTC coin , not both chains

[boyptc]

so offline wallet/exchange/services?

I transferred all my funds from an exchange because of the experts suggestion that it is better to transfer your funds into an offline wallet. And that's what I did, it is now found on an offline wallet.

I am holding what we value the most and i don't care such a thing.it would be better if i just lose another side of bitcoin instead of losing both of them.honestly speaking in current market,and a lot of cancerous trader shilling and fudding Bitcoin,i am afraid my emotion will take control and make a wrong decision for the rest of my life.but everybody have their own choice so just take it easy  

Note : i always heard people saying about another bitcoin,if iam not wrong they called it Bitcoin Cash/$BCC.how much it will be ? (Your thought guys?),are you guys believe it would be like ETH ? which is created ETC from chain split

This is important, choose what you want to do and then do it, if you decide you want to be out of bitcoin when all of this happens then that is your call.
