I have heard of many people and companies having their bitcoins lost or stolen.
That being said:
What is the safest way to buy and store bitcoin?
Thank you
Yes even i came to know about lost of bitcoins, that can be avoided if you keep the private keys in a safe place and see that you don't share it with anybody. There are many ways or you can say many wallets and place's where you can store your bitcoin with Tighter security. I have used Coinbase.com, Unocoin, Trezor and zebpay app for storing bitcoins. I recommend coinbase and Trezor which is highly secured one and biggest one for a newbie to try. I am using Unocoin and Zebpay for exchanging bitcoins with my local currency (INDIA-INR) at lowest commissions and fees.
I think we can search different authentic sites for this purpose, I mean for buying and for holding I have my wallet in blockchain, because I think that blockchain wallet is most secure and reliable. You can easily transfer your bitcoin to any place or can convert your bitcoin into dollars or other currency. Nobody can guarantee of any site but you can search for other people who have already bought bitcoin.
