<p>Please provide some advice for a fellow hoarder.
Just keeping all the sum in one wallet on a home PC is dangerous - what are the best ways to spread the storage? Physical bitcoins? Can you print one on paper (QR perhaps) and stash it somewhere? When keeping wallet on a removable media (e.g. flash drive), how many copies should I make? Should I even bother?</p>

<p>What's your favourite approach to keeping bitcoins you're not planning to spend right now?</p>

<p>Hints on the general strategy - how much to buy, how often, when to sell - are welcome too. Currently I plan to buy a few coins I can afford without noticing - a dinner worth of coins per month perhaps?</p>

I recommend storing them in a blockchain.info wallet, making some backup copies of course.
