Hi everyone,

Been out of the loop regarding the technical aspect of BTC but have a couple cold storage private keys I need to redeem and sell to pay some bills. Wondering the safest way to do this without risking my BTC. I remember back in the day people were saying that to be 100% sure you'd need to buy a computer that's never been online because of possible keyloggers and stuff. Is there another safe way where I don't have to buy a new computer? Or if I do need to buy a new computer, does anyone have directions on what I need to do? Or should I use the Blockchain app? Can you put private keys directly into Coinbase or Coinbase Wallet?

Thanks!!!
