I was wondering how everyone here holds their picks. I hold mine in my own way, but that might not be the best for speed. Could anyone show me a different way to hold it?

Interesting topic. to be honest...I usually hold my pick with the side of my finger and my thumb but when I go to strum to naturally hold it with with more of my fingerprint on the pick and I point my thumb down. But I"m also weird....when I'm on stage I have about 12 picks in my mic stand. I literally just drop the pick and grab a softer one for certain parts of songs. Drop it once again....grab the hard pick...solo...then drop again if need be. When I'm done...it looks like there are shell casing all around me.....Guitar War!!
