don't trust online wallet services

even to Mtgox?

I only store bitcoins offline. I send money to MtGox or other exchanges in small amounts, and only for the length of time it takes to make a transaction and get my money out again.

This gentleman knows what's going on. I don't store bitcoins offline myself because I prefer to keep my money in USD (it's a bit more useful Cheesy

), but it would be cool to see the internet in general start accepting bitcoins as a payment method. I think once Amazon allows the use of bitcoins an offline wallet will be a very good idea. Until then, I rarely keep bitcoins from one day to the next (unless you count amounts less than half a bitcoin, leftover from transactions)
