There's no such thing as 'offline' Bitcoins. It's not like your client has to be connected to the Internet in order for someone to steal your shit.

I would suggest researching a little bit next time before making a post like this.

There are in fact some very clever ways to make completely offline and non-physical Bitcoin wallets.

Yeah, and I know what they are, although I wouldn't describe generating a wallet on an offline PC and keeping it offline as 'very clever'. At any rate, after reading it again I think I confused what the parent was insinuating, so nevermind.
You print the bitcoin hash. That's offline to me.
