Hi,

Does anyone know where I can hold my bitcoins on a server and have them insured against damgage theft?

Someone referred to bitcoins that are not online as being in "cold storage," and that sounds strange to me.

I have a laptop that is not connected online and I was just think about storing the coins on there.

Thanks.
David

Every time a block is mined, a certain amount of BTC (called the subsidy) is created out of thin air and given to the miner. The subsidy halves every four years and will reach 0 in about 130 years.
