I just got a simply question.
Which bitcoin wallet do you use?
Thanks for answers!

I personally don't like the idea of storing my BTC on phone device or tablet so I prefer either Desktop wallet (Electrum) or Cold storage (Paper wallets) which are the cheapest but also the safest way to store your BTC (if you know where and how to hide them so they don't get screwed over the years)
So downloadable wallets is more safe than for example blockchain.info?
Not necessarily. Even though most wallets are open sourced, some can have vulnerabilities which can expose the user's funds to hackers. One example is the poor implementation of RNG, resulting in a predictable private key. Some online wallets allow users to control their private key and it would be relatively safe unless they change the script. In this case, Blockchain.info is definitely not safe at all. Curently i'm using only online wallets. Coinbase, bitgo, blockchain.info, xapo
I used these wallets too as they are the more popular ones.I think when people start into bitcoin they want simplicity instead of features since they just want to just want it to work on the first try.
But as you get more knowledgeable in how the bitcoin system works you move to the more robust ones with 2FA and private key accessibility.
since i lost my blockchain private key,now i using coinbase..and thats a good option!
How come would you lost your private key in blockchain? Maybe you're referring to the identifier?
Blockchain as a hot wallet for purchases that I need to make when I'm away. Electrum for the rest - don't have any hardware wallets simply because I don't have enough Bitcoin to warrant it at the moment. Set-up works fine, could be more secure I guess - but for me it's not worth the hassle - I'm happy with the risk vs convenience level.

I am using Electrum in a combination with Trezor. Really the best and the safest option out there, of course if you have enough coins to invest into a Trezor.
For my phone I use mycelium for Android.

I use Xapo and Blockchain. I mainly use Xapo if I receive BTC which is less than 0.01 as Blockchain charges a fee if the funds are less than 0.01 and the fee keeps increasing then else Xapo doesn't charge any fee but takes about 1-2 hours to confirm the transaction unlike Blockchian that takes usually 10-15 minutes. Also, Xapo asks for a code everytime I login to my account unlike Blockchian that I use for transactions that are urgent.
I am using CoinPocket which is, I think, only available in iOS. So far so good. It allows you to backup your private key which is BIP38 encrypted using your password.
first i was using online wallet like coinbase and xapo, now i have installed electrum in my hardware and i store all my investment bitcoins their and some i use to store in coinbase to play my sportbets on sites, because coinbase is fast and secure and its free of charge transactions.

Yup, downloadable clients from reputable sources are way safer than online wallets. Online wallets tend to get hacked often than a wallet running in your own machine.

Maybe you should look at getting a more secure wallet, or if you are holding bitcoins for the long run, maybe you should look into creating a paper wallet? If you're like me though, and want to spend bitcoins at any point in time, I personally like blocktrail, mycellium, and breadwallet the best when it comes to smart phone wallets.
I use mobile wallet for small transactions and HD wallet to store them. I have tested also web wallet, but now i haven't any bit stored in them.
So downloadable wallets is more safe than for example blockchain.info?
yeah but only if you know what you're doing with your pc, and i would suggest a cold storage anyway, because there are chance of infection, in the you download many random stuff from the web
So downloadable wallets is more safe than for example blockchain.info?
Desktop wallet is way more secure than online walletsBecause Online wallets are prone to Hacker's attack
You want more safety? Get hardware wallets like trezors
So downloadable wallets is more safe than for example blockchain.info?
I use blockchain.info and coinbase as i don't have much btc and my internet connection is slow.
I think it's still better and safe to continue using Bitcoin Core. I don't trust others at all.
But Electrum might be good alternative.
