Where do you hold your coins?

[Crasengover]

I aslo decided to choose Ledger Nano s as a main wallet for holding coins. You never know what can happen to your laptop or online services, expecially exchanges. So I prefer to hold my money offlne and sleep well.

I think the safest way to keep them is in a Ledger Nano or a Trezor. Should have max protection.

Yep it's one of the safest way to hold our coins but it has a limited support to the alt coins that we can hold, so sometimes getting a desktop wallet for a specific coin is needed.

MEW for Ethereum and ERC20 tokens, Electrum or Mycelium for Bitcoin and token specific wallets for the ones with their own blockchains. And if you can afford, buy a hardware wallet for extra security!

I'm trusting MEW for Ethereum and my ERC20 coins I'm storing it there and there's no way for someone to hack you unless you will be a victim of phishing links. And be aware about the fake MEW-alike website that has wrong spelling on it's URL.

With bitcoin, I'm good with electrum it's the one that I'm trusting and blockchain.info for smaller amount.

It is more safe to store your coins in an offline wallet which you are in control of, but for me, I store my alts in MEW wallet account.

There are some hardware wallet where you can hold your coins if you are planning for long term. But I am holding my coins on Bittrex and Poloniex because I do trading that is why I am holding in these exchanges but holding long term I will recommend holding in hardware wallet like Ledger Nano..

If you buy say 10 different altcoins, do people really download a wallet for each altcoin?  I thought the convenience of an exchange is you could just keep the coins there.

Cold storage on paper wallet is how I feel most confortable

[AyaYotoko]

For the new coins I use the Desktop wallets to hold and stake. For Bitcoin, ETH and LTC I use Jaxx, Coinomi, MEW. For my huge btc savings I used an offline paper wallet.
I use plenty of them, I make sure I don't only put my investment in 1 address.

[BigBos]

currently I hold the coins I have in myetherwallet. well, only so much phishing from the web, but I feel that myetherwallet is a nice and complete wallet to store various coins besides bitcoin.

[nonik]

I save the coins and tokens that I get in My EtherWallet since the first time, because in this wallet can send and receive different tokens. all our transaction data can be stored well.
which you should be very careful about is to store the private key and password. and do not get it wrong when you give your wallet address.

[Drnice]

I store my altcoins in my MEW account and wait for the coin price to increase. I don't understand how hardware wallets work yet, and am sure it needs a laptop or a desktop, but for now, I only have a phone.

[Vzae]

Its better you keep it in the offline wallet if it is used in the long run. you can download desktop wallet and backup your files. it will be secure than you save in exchange..

[greatk]

It is safest to have control of your Crypto. So keep it offline but keep a watch on the price. If it has reached your profit expectations, send to the exchange wallet for sell.

[Berk]

I store my coins in desktop wallets as they are the most secure at the moment and the only way to keep them. I would wary of any online services.

So i'm new to cryptocurrency, actually just started 2 days ago, was reading about cryptocurrency, and stumbled upon Neblio and decided to go for it.

Now i'm holding about 600$ worth of Neblio on Cryptopia, which i'm fairly certain it will reach at least 2x, but aiming at x4 early next year to be honest.

Anyway, i want to sit on the Neblio for a while, but i don't want to have it hostage on an Exchange, so what are the best and safer solutions, Desktop and Online to hold he currency?

i personally use myetherwallet but i recommend you to use desktop wallet like electrum,its very easy to use and understand. It's also very popular and good for new bitcoin users.

[cryptonomicon25]

I don't trust any online services so I keep all of my altcoins in their dev-approved personal wallets. You should only keep your coins in an exchange if you are planning to make a trade, otherwise get them out of there. Research past history of exchanges such as Mt. Gox and you will see why you can't trust exchanges. Even Bittrex is banning accounts with no warning recently. You don't actually own your coins unless you are in control of their private keys.

Yes, it's a pain to keep track of all the individual wallets but you won't regret it when some BS happens at the exchanges.

[Ashutosh_Tiwari]

The best place from my point of view is that wallet which hold the private key for securing the wallet from anyone i would suggest desktop wallet is the best wallet for storing the coins.

[DRVX]

I personally created a desktop wallet for myself, and in principle I do not see any problems, because I do not face the stock exchange. After all, the exchange is such a fickle. If suddenly the course collapses, then no one compensates you for it. And then you will remain in a big minus. And this would not want to admit. Therefore, like all, I advise a desktop wallet.

[Gangy]

I don’t have many coins recently but when I do i hold them different wallet websites. Wish I could hold them in my real wallet just like real money.

[Erowind]

I'm rocking out with a Ledger Nano S.

New purchases are going to make that option unviable though, so I might airgap a linux laptop to store new tokens. Certain coins I'll probably keep on a good exchange though, some tokens I'm going to want to have sell orders on in order to catch pump waves.
