I use blockchain before when I first started into the bitcoin community. I don't know much of the other walleta and so I thought blockchain provides more security other than the other availavle wallet app on smartphone. Later on I gain more knowledge about bitcoins and also comes the security in storing all the bitcoins I have and I found another wallet that has more securities so I nwver use my blockchain wallet anymore unless I need to use blockchain wallet specifically in any transaction.

I need safer wallet but I was too lazy to learn about offline wallet

Electrum is easy to use, even if you're lazy, with Elecrum wallet you don't need to be an expert. also their security features is better than blockchain wallet.

Hey sure I know how unsafe online wallets are but I still use the for quickness.

I would not hold more than a btc on them.

Which wallets do that?

Coinbase and probably Circle too, not that anyone should really be using them as wallets for that very reason but they do.

Coinbase can lock your account if they find something suspicious.
They can also require you government documents for verification.
For online purchases web wallets like blockchain.info coinbase circle and other are good but for holding cold storage is the best.

I am still using it, though mainly for online purchases and such. The largest amount I kept in their wallet is 1.57 bitcoins, and after a couple of hours I transferred it to my wallet. I find their wallet useful in terms of online purchases, but in keeping a large stash? I don't think so.

Get a Ledger or Trezor.
I can't speak for the Trezor, but the Ledger is super easy to use.

I use blockchain as my wallet to receive coins. They are not strict as to where coins came from, unlike others wallets where if they found out that coins comes from gambling sites or known ponzi sites, they will send you a notice through email that you need to transfer your coins to somewhere else.

Which wallets do that?

I use blockchain.info for disposable wallets. If I only need them for a few uses. I never store much bitcoin on there. But it is just a convenient way to not have to use my main wallets.

Most people probably started with online wallets, that is a guess I know I did and yes I knew the vulnerabilities.

I still have between a btc and two on there at any given time.

I use them for ease of use and nothing else.

When I first know about bitcoin, Blockchain.info wallet was the most trusted online wallet which I have control of the private keys. There was no better choice at the time. I have a strong password, 2 factor authentication enabled. I backup regularly and do not keep more than 0.5 btc there.

I use blockchain.info wallet because i can spend unconfirmed btc, i use it as a hot wallet and cold one with the "only watch" option.

Didn't know this fact, lol i was thinking how people are spending unconfirmed transactions,
But what happens when it gets not confirmed for 2 days and the funds are returned to the sender?
I personally don't use the blockchain.info wallet, also it is removed in bitcoin website as a bitcoin wallet.

I use blockchain.info wallet because it was the first wallet I heard about when I got interested in bitcoin. I didn't know that other wallets also exist at that time and now when I know about other wallets,I dont have any good reason to quite blockchain and move to other

I use blockchain.info due to 2 reasons...
1.it is fast and instant.
2.the sending and receiving addresses are same Cheesy

It is Fast..but not the Fastest  and Many other wallet has also the sending and receiving address same as they are not shared wallet , My question remains question , why you prefer it over other wallets.

...

I too use the blockchain.info wallet.  Mostly for convenience (easy to use and can be used anywhere in the world with internet access), but also because it has tumbling (mixing) service (SharedCoin) which works pretty well.

Since I visit blockchain.info at least once daily, it makes it easy to check on my BTC there.

Note that the security there may not be the best...  To make my wallet more secure, several months ago I tried using 2FA, but I could never get that to work right.  But, there is also a "lite 2FA" (my wording), via account settings you can set a second password for sending any BTC out.  Highly recommended.

But, most of mt BTC is in cold storage (Trezor and Ledger Nano).  Safer...
