it's always refreshing to come back to this topic and see that farzo and azzar are still raging their asses off every day to the point of a near-stroke because they missed the crypto train

if you plan to hodl then don't store your stuff online.
avoid using generic hardware wallets, they are proun to attack and have a huge mark on their back because everyone has them, you're more secure using a regular usb drive with a couple of different obscure ways to encrypt the content, there's some security is obscurity as well because if the attacker doesn't know what they are dealing with things become a lot more difficult to break.
regular usb drive 1gb+
encrypt several of times using different tools like this:
first encryption layer bitlocker with 16+ character password
second encryption layer veracrypt sha512 16+ character password
third encryption layer truecrypt with different encryption algorithm.
fourth the wallet password... (electrum)
(unique long passwords for each)
remember to keep your seed hidden and safe, even if your usb keys are stolen you can always regain access to your wallet as long as you have the seed, but same goes if someone steals your seed they can take your bitcoin.
store seed preferably on a piece of paper somewhere hidden, perhaps in a encrypted password manager such a keepass on a encrypted usb drive, but key is to keep things offline to minimize any risk for anything happening.
don't get mtgox'd
