I am using coinbase wallet. It is secure but there is always a possibility of being hacked on online wallet.

Since you don't have the private key for your bitcoin on Coinbase, it is IMO better to store your bitcoin on Bitcoin Core, Electrum, Multibit, blockchain.info, etc and only use Coinbase as an exchange.

Well for large amounts of BTC, you should always use
It's not really funny, but I've heard the same thing about the MtGox long time ago.

I recommended AsMoney ( asmoney.com) its new payment processor but very flexible. You can send and receive money programmatically or accept your local currency. also support both bitcoin and litecoin.

Coinbase is good its clean and User friendly.
I agree with you. I am also using the same wallet.

Same here. Love Coinbase. The cool thing about an online wallet is that I have access to my BTC wherever I am in the world without any hassle. If I were to carry my wallet.dat file on a pendrive with me, I would have to install the qt on a public computer (unless I bring my laptop with me everywhere which is cumbersome) every time I wanna use my BTC which is risky.


I am using coinbase wallet. It is secure but there is always a possibility of being hacked on online wallet.

Well for large amounts of BTC, you should always use Coinbase's Vault instead of the regular wallet. The Vault is as safe as it gets in terms of online storage and the risks of getting hacked is reduced to a minimum.

A couple of wallets are great. Blockchain.info and Electrum are the best for newbies, while Bitcoin Core and Armory are the more secure options.

Bitcoin core will always be the 'best' wallet in my eyes.

Out of all the other wallets I've used in the past, I'd recommend Electrum for ease of use and Armory for security. Large amounts of btc should always be stored offline so it would also be wise to learn how to make paper wallets, there are several guides to do this on the forum.

I just downloaded Bitcoin and man the official wallet its clumspy as fuck and very bloated and slow. I dont trust the other wallets because they aren't oficial.

For the official bitcoin core wallet, you need to have the full blockchain data to achieve the fully trustless feature. That's why you will need to download about 25GB of data in the start.

You can use the bootstrap torrent (link in the bottom of https://bitcoin.org/en/download) to make the download faster.

Bitcoin Core isn't a bad one IMHO  Roll Eyes , as for others I liked using multibet (easy, simple and fast to use). Haven't tried electrum nor armory,
although I don't endorse using website wallets but I'm using blockchain.info

In my opinion offline wallet are more secure than online wallet. But I am using coinbase wallet.

I am never a fan of the Coinbase wallet. As you have no control of your private keys, what you have is just an account balance.

You should use Bitcoine Core if you don't have internet connection and disk storage problem. If you have light weight pc, you should use light weight programs such as Multibit.

Bitcoin Core is the most stable wallet, while offline wallet is the most secure one.
