There are two wallet types. If you want easy and fast access, I would say blockchain is the easiest wallet for me because I can access my wallet from my smartphone and notebook from anywhere. If you want secure access, probably bitcoin core is the best but you have to prepare big free space to use it.

My suggestion is try BitGo, because the security features is better than blockchain wallet.
For your phone, i would suggest you MyCelium.
And if you won't to download the data for sync a bitcoin wallet on your PC, Electrum will solved your problem.

I would stay away from paper wallets and get a Trezor. As long as you store your 24 word seed in a safe place you can step on your Trezor, ruin it, then just get a new one and restore from seed. You cannot lose your bitcoin and Trezor is convenient to use, even with a smartphone, something paper wallets never will be.

I use blockchain as it was the simplest wallet for me to use back when I started

It's not a bad wallet for a hot wallet if you need to spend some money.  But I still recommend you store most in cold wallets.

Paper wallet/offline wallet is better security wise.  Just a lot less risk.

I'm using blockchain also. Is there an offline wallet that is safe ?

nothing is safe unless you make it safe. try to read up on how to make a safe cold-storage. the articles and helps can be easily found on the internet or even on this forum.

just search for terms like "cold-storage" and "paper wallet" if you are into that.

Trezor is the standard for bitcoin hardware wallets.

Hardware wallets are a better security then most sites, or live wallets.  But I still say cold wallets are king.

They don't cost much.  But if done right have the best security of any wallet.  But have to be done right.

I have been used blockchain.info no huge download and everything just works instant, and it's easy, and I can access it from any computer I deem safe

if you have a copy of the blockchain, you can use core in any computer in a few seconds with a good ssd, and usually i would not access with my info from a public computer anyway

in that case i prfer a mobile wallet for accessing fund immediately
The real question is: why would you waste your SSD space on downloading blockchain? Is not speed of blockchain synchronization mainly limited by your download speed? Normal HDD would be sufficient imo.

He is recommending SSD because the speed of SSD comparing to HDD is much more faster.

And you can use the bitcoin code more faster, personally i do not use bitcoin core and i don't want my HDD to be full of blockchain infos.

I use coinbase web "wallet" too, it is easy to manipulate.
The UI is clean (blue and white) and i can easily send and receive bitcoins.
When their website gets offline i have no access to my bitcoins, so basically they own my bitcoins, not much safe.

What that's mean about "easy to manipulate"?

Basically coinbase is exchanger.

may be he use 1 bitcoin adddress only 1time, or maybe he want to mixing his bitcoin
send btc to coinbase, sell it with usd and buy back after it your bitcoin get mixing Smiley


but i think xapo is better to do it

Nowadays there are many bitcoin mixer, and the number is just growing, that could work too,
Both coinbase and xapo does not give you private key but their service is good.
But if you want to mix then buying alt coins and selling to other exchange should work too.

i am not 100% sure but as far as i know you have to give your personal information to wallet service providers like coinbase and xapo.
so as a result the mixing part is useless, because the purpose of using mixers is staying anonymous which you won't have when using xapo or coinbase.

but coinbase and xapo never share my document to other people
i still trust xapo and coinbase
first of all , the anonymity is something that not everybody cares about. for instance i don't care "that much" if anybody can trace my transactions to me.

on the other hand trust has degrees, and since xapo and coinbse don't give my any private keys and i only have an "account" i don't trust them one bit.

that my personality statemnet i trust xapo and coinbase

That's more important but the purpose of the bitcoin is to stay anonymous but most of people does not care.
Since they do not provide you the private key our bitcoins aren't much safe, but their feature to trade is great even though the fee are a bit higher that other exchanges.

Who said that? They said that will not share but if you do any suspicious activity then we will see if they share or not.

Like if you receive payments from "stolen" funds which are track-able then they can block your account, that's what i heard.

You can't call wallet such as coinbase & xapo and exchange which has government license are bitcoin mixers, because they keep log for every transaction that have you done.
It means they & government could track you easily Sad
You better use unlicensed exchange, unlicensed gambling site or bitcoin mixers site as bitcoin mixers

Also, even coinbase & xapo has good services, don't forget government are watching them
You better use decentralized wallet, not centralized wallet

It's not really that they are some horrible exchanges.  It's that they are following KYC rules.  This allows them to operate in US without being money launders.   So they really have to do it to operate in us legally.

Can the government get information from them if needed ... yes.  But I know I'm not hiding anything so I'm not to worried about exchanges following KYC.

It would be okay if you don't hide anything, but they could suspicious & you could arrested
I better use  unlicensed exchange, unlicensed gambling site or bitcoin mixers site to reduce the risks

I've also seen few people got their bitcoin locked because government is little suspicious of them Sad
