I'm using multibit and i have electrum on my phone. I never keep BTC on a website, once i decide i need coins on a website I send them, use them and withdraw them immediately.

I store my coins discretely so nobody knows how the fuck I'm storing my coins so they can attempt to steal them.

Saying that you don't trust someone because of their behavior is completely valid.

On a QT Wallet on a Windows 7 VMWare that gets fired up only when I need to access them. VMWare is locked down and used for nothing else other than the wallets. It stores all my coins from LTC / BTC to TIPS.

This is then snapshotted and also backed up completely (snapshots as well) on my NAS and secure offsite once a month (just in case)

My wallet is only ever open when I need it and normally for no more than 1 minute on the network.

Does "online" mean a website? Or does "offline" mean cold storage?

I use Armory as hot storage, so I checked "other".

I have a blockchain.info wallet for my short term stash and a chunk put away in an Armory wallet that is both printed as paper and stored on an encrypted pendrive with a linux virtual machine that has the wallet, these are stored in my fire safe Smiley

I use Offline Armory with encrypted digital backups and paper backups in safes in a couple places across the country with trusted individuals.

Bitcoin Fact: the price of bitcoin will not be greater than $70k for more than 25 consecutive days at any point in the rest of recorded human history.

Coinbase, LocalBitcoins, Bitcoin-QT, and USB Flash Drive/External Hard Drive

Buy them from Coinbase/Local, then transfer immediately to Bitcoin-QT, then back them up to external.
