Can I store my pixels somewhere so I don't lose them when I die?

I die all the time. My pixel balance hovers around zero as a result. I'm trying to save up for armor but my nonstop deaths are making that difficult. Is there anywhere I can store my pixels so that when I die, I won't lose a bunch of them?
