Thee best place to sote your bitcoin with full security is make a vanity gen address and store the private key to a paper wallet and some funds to your vanity gen address. But, Blockchain.info i would call it secured from hacks and you do hold your own wallet no one can touch that exept if you share your private key to someone. Put a 2 factor autenticator to make it more secured.
That's the best way to secure the Bitcoin we have. The features of private keys are very important because then we can get a strong security over the Bitcoin we have. So make sure we save Bitcoin in the wallet that has the feature, I'm sure the private key security will make everyone become much more secure. I will feel much better when I can get satisfactory results and maintain security is an important part in maintaining my future.

Using online wallets is a big risky task for everyone who is going to use bitcoin as long term. So maybe offline wallet or hardware wallet would better for long term investors. Just 100$ can made your wallet more secure to being hacked. You'll surely feel so regret after hacked and thought why earth on you not transfer your all bitcoin on your offline wallets.

My wallet is securable and i dont see any thing that will bother me because i am worried about my btc but it is very secured and i know it will not happen that my btc will be scammed, because my bitcoin wallet is safe to use and proven or tested.
I doubt anyone will fully tell you their number one secret. Some of the replies you got here are maybe just a pinch of what they are actually doing. If they tell you the whole of it, then their 100% secured Bitcoin will never be 100% again. People who owns a large number of Bitcoin never tell anyone about their wallet or Bitcoin for security.
In my opinion bitcoin wallets even if it is online, are safe because bitcoin uses Cryptography and several complicated algorithms that can only be decoded by a certain key or password, mostly tge reason why some accounts are hacked is because of the user itselt, they unintentionally share there private keys or password to others. But if you want to invest for a ling tine in bitcoin. I suggest you but it on a hardware wallet! I think it has the highest securith among the wallets available
How do you make your Blockchain.info accounts fully secure if you want to do a long-term investment in BTC?
Possible risks I think that could happen:
1. Big hack and you lose your coins. E.g, Mt.gox a few years ago.
2. Government seizure and you lose your coins. E.g, BTC-e a few months ago.
3. Small hack and you lose your coins. E.g, someone somehow hacks your wallet.
There may be other risks too that I can't think of right now.
So, how do you guys make absolutely sure that your coins are 100% safe?
Would love to know the steps you take to guarantee your coins' safety - esp if you have Blockchain.info wallet.
Thanks!

I much prefer giving priority in what type of wallet we choose to store our bitcoin, if you are choosing any online wallet i would suggest you to go with two time or three time authentication for logging in your account like Gmail-authentication, Mobile-authentication, etc.
You can find these authentication options at settings in your wallet. When ever you wish to log-in to your wallet you get a secret code to your mobile and gmail accounts
to verify yourself, once the details matched then you will be authenticated and you can login to your bitcoin wallet successfully.
Ensure when you are typing your wallet URL you find https with a green color and hold the safety.
I would strongly recommend to make analysis about cold storage, paper wallet, nano ledger s etc. these helps better to store your bitcoin safely and these are fully secured.
Online wallets even does are like manipulated but not the cold storage wallets.
I am securing my bitcoins my making sure that I am the only person who knows my private key , I usually store my bitcoins on a paper wallet it is not costly and also help me greatly to secure my coins.

It seems that you answered your own question though so what is the point of a long term investment of your BTC with Blockchain.info if you can do it in a desktop wallet or hardware wallet that you have the own right to preserve your private keys to avoid the possible risks that you think may happen.
It is much better to have your own wallet that have your own private keys because it is a must and so easy to make, you can say that your wallet is 100% safe if you know to yourself that follow the guidelines in securing like never store the important seeds and private keys online or in your desktop, Bitcoin was never been hack though it is just only the exchanges of Bitcoin that is centralize by people who made it.
Blockchain.info wallet is not safe, I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. If you can't afford buying a hardware wallet then I would recommend you to use a software wallet. Unlike the web wallet, software wallets such as Electrum or Bitcoin Core give you full control of your private keys and they don't send it anywhere else. You can even use them offline!
The best thing to avoid being hacked is try to have an account with 3,4security steps involved. like mobile number,pin,google authenticator. so that may help you and secure you much.
This is true of an exchange or broker account. But if you are just holding coins, you shouldn't be thinking of your wallet as an "account." An account is something you hold with a (trusted) third party.
As such, the best way to secure your coins is to use 1) a hardware wallet like TREZOR or Ledger, or 2) an air-gapped PC setup where your private keys are kept offline. You can secure a wallet like Electrum with 2FA, but IMO, keeping the wallet connected to the internet is more of a security threat to you than lack of 2FA.
Also dont post your address publically.
I think this is more of a privacy issue than anything else.

I really believe blockchain is not meant to store large amount of bitcoin or Ethereum, so if one is thinking of storing big amount of bitcoin then i will suggest he/she uses either paper wallet or hardware wallet. In this case his information is safe.

Myself I bought a separate laptop (aside from my PC), where I only visit the websites I trust 100%. I opened it when I created the wallets, and that's it. I will open it again in 10-20 years when I will be a millionaire. Of course, passwords are everywhere
BTC is more safe than any other system
about hacking no one can hack network so if you get hacked it is your problem because you make your wallet unsafely

The top 3 most secured wallets which are recommended to hold large amount of Bitcoins are
- Hardware wallet
- Paper wallet
- Private wallet(wallets whose private key you own)
Don't store your bitcoins to web wallet, your a newbie but that's should be the first thing you should know. Store your bitcoins at a hardware or paper wallet. Not your private keys not your bitcoins.

Sometimes its the users mistake for holding a bitcoin wallet. Putting your bitcoin wallet is not easy to be hack by others if you always make sure that you activate 2fa authenticator and keeping your private key somewhere safe that you only have access. Put some defenders, anti virus and anti malware in your pc
So if you have like more than 1 BTC, it is advised to purchase hardware wallet, right. Should it be Trezor or Ledger Nano S?
Using a complicate password and setting 2f are two basic steps to secure blockchain.info wallet. And have to be alert of phishing emails, never click on links in emails.
Don’t use public wifi and login to the wallet.
