Yes thats why i use electrum wallet.Its safe and secure.I dont know how more will people loose by keeping all of their coins on an exchange
I just use the bitcoin wallet and store the wallet in an offline place. It is quite safe and secure.
Just hold your private keys and backup password and just keep them safe you can save your bitcoins for a long time safety. in any exchange site is risky.. for me since we are experience like bitfinex and mt gox was collapse.
Same here i am using electrum its more safe for me too..
