“How do I secure my bitcoin?” — Andreas Antonopoulos https://youtu.be/vt-zXEsJ61U

Please make sure you take your coins off of Coinbase (or any other exchange) as soon as you can. Here's a talk by the venerable Andreas Antonopoulos on this subject: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vt-zXEsJ61U

tl;dr - Exchanges go bankrupt
Didn't have a multisig BTC wallet before (created one in the past, but deleted it months ago) and I don't seem to be able to add another multisig wallet - only those multi-email-confirmation-required wallets.

Not holding the keys for my own coins is not an option (see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vt-zXEsJ61U for why), but at least there are alternatives such as Ledger hardware wallets.
