Is there a way I can export my Coinbase online private key and import it in an offline wallet though?

No. You will need to create a paper wallet and send your bitcoin to that new address.

so it's basically transferring bitcoins then, meaning you'll have to pay a fee for every transfer

<p>Do not use coinbase to create the offline wallet. Instead, use an offline tool or an hardware wallet, take note of the public address and send the bitcoins to that address</p>

Gianluca - What offline tool or hardware wallet would you suggest then and how do you do this? Withdraw all crypto and then re-establish at new location?

I would suggest an hardware wallet like Trezor or Ledger. A paper wallet would be ok (https://www.bitaddress.org) but make sure to run it when you are offline!

<p>Besides using the <code>send bitcoins</code> option, is there a way I can transfer my <code>bitcoins</code> from my online Coinbase account to an offline wallet? I mainly want to do this because I'd recently found out that Bitcoin is located in the US and can be seized by the Obama Regime at any time.</p>

# Transfer Bitcoins from Coinbase to an Offline Wallet

(Asked by: username_0 on 2013-11-30)

Besides using the `send bitcoins` option, is there a way I can transfer my `bitcoins` from my online Coinbase account to an offline wallet? I mainly want to do this because I'd recently found out that Bitcoin is located in the US and can be seized by the Obama Regime at any time.

Edit: I guess what I'm trying to ask here is: is it possible to export an Online Wallet Private Key and import it on an Offline Wallet? If so, how?
