If you are planning on holding long term, then yes store it in Nobl wallet. I am holding the bulk in my wallet. But leaving a little on Cryptopia for day trading. I dont see Cryptopia closing up shop all together.

I bought some NobleCoin on cryptopia a week ago when it was 12 sats 

Looks like it is time for the yearly nobl pump n dump  lol..

Let's hope this time it doesn't mean it gets delisted the next week.

I dont know, by me serious pump would look different and over 100sat in a range of ath, after that its free untill 150. Its a project that have solid ground, history and strong caracter. We have couple of them overlooked for months that were dig from the ground in last month, it looks like some pros were looking for them and invest. If development team is back loud and clear and maibe with another exchange soon, this can be big

I wonder if he realizes how much power he wields with one simple development update message?

I finally downloaded the wallet. (took 24 hours to sync...almost 1 million blocks.) Received coins from cryptopia. Question is...How do I set up my Password? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Any specific reason for the price increase or did the world just discover Noble? Any word from ROFO?

Up to roughly 2 weeks. Usually a less I think.
