I am using both of them at this stage as I think both are good and important to have at the time of emergencies, and both of them are taking best care of me.

Each bitcoin wallet and bank is very useful for us. You have right way when you use both of these. Because we can get more benefits and more profit .


If you have an option to use both of them then why to choose a single one, go for both of them and try to grab as much benefits as you can.

Yeah right, if you could choose both, why choose only one. If both of them can be useful to us, then let's choose and use both of them.
Both are good for storing are monetary funds, banks are secured for our fiat.
And wallets are also secured for storing our bitcoin.

Now without doubt both were needed for several reasons. Bitcoin has never been so popular as a bank. Only people who have at least little knowledge can use bitcoin wallet. Bank can be used even by common men. People would change towards bitcoin if it grow equal to the banking sector.
bitcoin is not so necessary at this time there is no urgency to use bitcoin wallet for the general public? different from the bank
you use fiat currency for your main currency then you must use a bank to manage your finances.
as long as the fiat currency of the primary currency then the bank will always win against bitcoin wallet

The bank is way better than any bitcoin wallet in my eyes because if you have a problem you can go to the bank with wallets this is not the point at all.

in fact now Xapo and coinbase running bitcoin wallet like bank system, we can acces our address, we can send and receive it and also xapo/coinbase can freeze our account Roll Eyes

Nowadays we do not have to bring xapo and coinbase at one level , as now xapo is more secure than coinbase, coinbase has a lot of issues and everyone is claiming that they are losing their money, so remain on xapo.
and xapo is not running like bank system as bank has big fees and xapo is , I think near to free.
In addition to what you said, wasn't Coinbase just recently been attacked? I mean, for Xapo having a two-factor aunthentication is a very good way of securing accounts (unless they themselves steal from the users, which is highly unlikely though).

The most better option for all of us is that, we will have to use desktop bitcoin wallet, it is more secure than any online wallet service like xapo or coinbase etc. with desktop wallet we will have full control over our coins and there will be no any fear of losing our money.

And how much did you pay in fees for that Payexchanger service? I didn't know about them till now so I decided to check out their fees and apparently to exchange 1 Bitcoin to Skrill you will lose 37$ and then I am guessing you have to pay again Skrill fees to get your cash out of there plus you need to pay ATM fees when you are withdrawing in your country. I wonder why you have gone through all that hassle when you could have just done a SEPA transfer to your bank account for a lot less in fees anyways. I guess you live in the European Union and this is maybe the cheapest way around to exchanging Bitcoin back to fiat.

Desktop bitcoin wallet. I am having a lot of fun saving my bitcoins in electrum in Linux, once I need cash, I exchange them through Skrill via payexchanger which I just used today for second time and is going great, then withdraw from ATM. Its much better this way then holding your funds in a bank, but not many people can see the advantages until today, hope they read this and rethink their way of storing money Smiley

So far two companies are doing good. And can you link some news or any related article about losing money on coinbase? If that is really happening proofs must be shown rather than to complain.

Both companies are registered legally so I don't think they will just go on with a big money. They can't enjoy it because they will be sued under the law.

The best thing you could use is a normal bank account  that is because dollars will always stay and never gone away instead of the bitcoin. The bitcoins are new so that they cant be trusted in online wallets so use banks.

If i have much money and for long term i pick Bank, because you can get profit and passive income from the interest. in the other hand, bitcoin wallet can provide this.

If you have huge amount of cash money then bank is the best option as it will also give you higher interests, bitcoin is good as if you save it can grow in future if price goes higher.

Yes with a lot of cash a bank its a bit better due to the fact that you can easily turn it into a bank, with the bitcoin is a little bit difficult due to the fact you need to transfer on a way more difficult way.


You could also try to put some in bitcoin and see which is more faster when it comes to profit. Banks got annual or semi annual interest and it takes a really long time before you will see a good number of interest.

Bank does their work for the routine life and Bitcoin can be for online and technology gain. and like what you said better choosing any one we can have both and work on that. In my opinion Both are correct on their side, Bitcoin is just like gold we can hold and keep it if it raise we will be happy even if it goes down we dont have problem...
