PLEASE NOTE
The bitcoins are not actually stored in the address; they are still on the web. In fact, the address is just the bank account number and the private key is the bank login. The bitcoins are not stored on your computer’s hard disk or on your phone storage; the private key is stored on your computer hard disk so if your PC crashes and you know your private key maybe because you have copied it out, you have no problem you can still access your coins.
Your Bitcoins are stored on the internet inside the blockchain and every computer on the bitcoin network has a copy of the blockchain or database of records.
PrivateKeys(bank logins) are tied to every address(Bank Account Number) and the private keys now help you prove that you are the owner if the bitcoins tied to an address.
All bitcoins in the system are stored in the blockchain and a copy of the blockchain is stored on every PC on the bitcoin network. If you install the Bitcoin PC application [Windows or Mac] your private keys are saved inside the wallet.dat file.
