Core client/cold storage with backup wallet files on disks and thumb drives. Honestly after mt gox you should never trust a third party to hold your bitcoins, even if it is a big name like coinbase.
this i lost like 50 btc back in the day on a online one didn't care much at the time as it was only like $50 in coins i also put it on a usb drive along with instructions on how my wife can get them and sell them should something happen to me

Wallet type: Biker, leather, three-pocket.
When used to carry both cash and plastic, I can be serviced anywhere on the planet.
And, when someone tries to rob me, the chain's useful for choking them the fuck out.

What reasons for your preference of Electrum over the others? So far I have only used Coinbase, but have just been getting started..
Unlike keeping them on Coinbase which is an exchange, you actually have them in your possession with Electrum. Further, Electrum is an SPV wallet so you don't need to worry about the size of the blockchain stored locally. On top of that, having a seed to restore your wallet is a great feature in case you forget your password to your local wallet file. It also integrates with a trezor nicely.

Are any of these wallets purely online yet safe? Electrum appears to require a download and will store the bitcoins on my computer... which of course could fail. Plus downloading software, bah.
I've considered getting into bitcoin for years since I heard about it, but I've never run across a means of using them that seemed even 20% as straightforward/easy as, say, using paypal. Or a bank. Or other things with cash.

I can say Coinbase had this bug on their iOS app where I scanned a QR code and it hit my account twice - they knew about it, and credited my funds back even though the merchant (in this case Uploaded.net) should've recognized I paid them twice. They claimed it was the same payment and that it was Coinbase's software showing the issue, but we all know that you can audit and see that wasn't the case...
i wouldnt recomend it. they screw you over when selling coins. i would look int other extanges as many contrys dont have the same tx restrictions making it easyer for companys to pay you. see if kraken works for where you are as they are the nicest when it comes to rates.
hey wait, so u would not recommend offline wallet?
or u saying dont use luno.com? have u experienced them?
im saying dont use coinbase. most wallets are fine.
Oh no, but i am not using coinbase, i am using www.luno.com (sorry if i am missing something just slap me if im being silly)
