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?

Yes, coinbase allows you to create a paper wallet.

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

  • 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? – Susan P May 24 '17 at 18:32
  • 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! – Gianluca Ghettini May 25 '17 at 16:11
