Where to store your keys?

[bekti3]

I will prefer physical wallet  if i had 2000 BTc.
At this time i using metamask and Trustwallet but i feel that uts not safe here because some days ago someone  hack my account and send BNb and Etherium from my account.
At this time i have save all my Keys on Gmail and secured my Gmail.

Being careful in taking action is a pretty good thing and always have a back-up plan so that when unexpected things happen as you feel right now you can be prepared and stay calm.
still don't feel phobic about this. suspicious of something and feeling insecure is normal when it is done properly.
and rough wallets can actually be used as an option but of course with some extra measures and minimally separating them into several parts.

if you had 2000 bitcoins what options would you pick?

Depends if no one except me knows I have 2000 Bitcoin I would quitely store them in a paper wallet but in this very case my identity as a crypto investor is known by people around my neighborhood so definitely it's obvious to go for the military grade vault so I can stay safe because it's becoming more riskier by the day to disclose your indentity as a crypto investor

If the identity of the owner of 2000 Bitcoin is revealed it will certainly become a target for crime, because many want to take it. Being completely anonymous in cryptocurrencies on a blockchain engine will not be possible, because every transaction will be recorded and where it ends up.
but it will not directly give your personal identity.
Security is the number one thing that must be maintained. Wherever you store it you must be sure that only you know it.

If you have multiple keys my advice is to keep more copies in different places. Just have in mind that these are safe places where only you can reach them. Don't only keep them in digital form, put them in the paper too but when it comes to storage of them develope something that will help you memorise where are they stored but in a matter that will not help others to reveal it.

Has anyone here just stored everything in coinbase or gemini and make sure their two factor authorization is set to google authenticator or authy and then that was good enough?

Maybe some person's have tried it but since you have the experience to store it why can't you explain more to enlighten those once that don't know anything concerning it, like to pass the knowledge to one another

I save it in excel then I password the file, and it's been more than 3 years I've been doing this and everything is fine, I usually send every update with google mail, I'm sure if we activate the password for excel it will be safe because I use software full license from microsoft so everything is safe.

You can store you keys in Your mobile notebook or you can save it in your personal diary. These are some personal places for save your keys and files.

[lenovop-70]

Ill store it in the the safe place obviously, i wll write in in the paper and put it in the safebox, on my harddrive and set the password for it, and maybe ill copy that files-encripted to all my offline drive, just in case one of from all my drive obsolete or broken.
If all my drives are not working, ill back to my safebox where i can find my password on a paper.

[lelahenderson]

Don’t keep all your bitcoins in one place. As the rule says, it’s not safe to put your eggs in a single basket. Keep it diversified to keep it safe.

[Mr.sprin]

it's better not to store the key on a laptop or android because there is a possibility that it can be hacked, it's better to store it in a notebook and store it in a vault, it's safer in my opinion.

Crypto investors are turning to Military grade vaults to safeguard their Keys. While some prefer to know the Keys by heart, some have their crypto stash in physical dedicated crypto wallets like Trezor and pay big money to have them stored in Nuclear sheltered safe vaults. Take for instance Swiss Crypto Vault who offers Nuclear sheltered vaults to crypto investors. if you had 2000 bitcoins what options would you pick?

I'd rather keep my own keys than let other companies or group of people keep my keys.
Not your keys, not your coins.

For me, I already kept it in a storage where I'm the only one who knew it. Maybe its an advantage for me that I'm the only one who knows crypto here in our community because they don't know that I'm holding that huge amount . I also kept all of my Bitcoins in different platforms/storages. A huge percentage of my Bitcoins are just in a wallet sitting there while a small percentage of it are in an app earning passive income. Yes they are holding my Bitcoins but I trust them and I'm ready in case the worst happens (I hope not).

I made two copy of my pass phrase and gave them to my grandparents to hold for me. I know they would never try anything because they’re living a country lifestyle and don’t really like technology.

What if they misplace it? or someone stole that from them? then your phrase will be compromised ? though that is a tough but brightfull decision  because yes Older generation don't even know how to deal with technology so they will never got interest in learning what inside of that and how to manage taking it out.
but if someone encourage them and teach them the importance of these then you are in deep trouble .

i prefer personal hardware storage like trezzor without any security.  In addition, we can easily control the hardware wallet that we have at any time.  it's different if we use security such as a safe, it's very difficult for us to control at any time and must be for a certain period of time

[kucritt]

right now, i'm store my private key on the flash drive, and my flash drive are save at my personal safe, and i think, it very safe, but another people say saving the private key on the hardware wallet, hardware wallet is the best choices if you have more money to buy it, because it working offline and you need to access it with your password / biometric

I guess it all depends on how much you’re storing, buying a military grade vault just to store a private keys that stores a little amount of crypto, that’s quite funny. I have never really bothered myself that much because the amount I have is not something that I would have to be looking for the keys to heaven to store it there lol. I make use of some notepad to store my keys, and of course I am sure that it is safe. It’s saved both online and offline in my little thick covered journal.

I know that some would say that the online means I used for storing it is risky because they believe that it would be hacked, but trust me I am aware of that and I’m very careful about it. And moreover hackers won’t just pop out of nowhere and hack your system, except you make mistakes that leaves traces online for them to follow.

I don't see a need for all this high power storage  even if you have 2000 bitcoins. 2000 bitcoin sounds much now but I believe years ago, people hold this and didn't worry about anything, and likewise today, I still believe some people hold this much and more and don't have their PW stored in any military vault and the only way people know how much you own in Bitcoin is because you told them. Your keys on the diary in your home vault can also do this work.

who told you mate that investors in the past did not mind saving their keys? or not aware of the incoming issues?

because those early adopters are the one who looks for safest way to store their coins and what? Diary or Vault? at least you know that those places are the main target of people that will try taking your coins?
