Is it safe to keep all your Bitcoins in one wallet in blockchain.info? I have 2FA activated but still.
If one type of wallet by chance got identified with any possible vulnerability, the bitcoins in other type of wallet will be safer by that time. So, it highly advisable not to hoard all the coins into single address/wallet. Personally I use multibit, electrum and blockchain.info for various reasons. I have back up in three different geo locations.

It depends on what type of wallet are you storing up your bitcoins, If its on an online wallet then sure it has big risk on lossing it because you dont have its private keys unlike on pc wallets and cold storages. Web wallets are only good for faster online transactions.
Agree, web or online wallet are good only for fast exchange or payments onto services online or buying up something but its not really safe to put up your bitcoin on their but there are still good web wallets like blockchain which do have a good security on their wallets and i didnt even heared about any complain of being hacked or lost bitcoins into someone.
Keeping bitcoins in online wallet involves huge risk as some may hack your wallet in future so better choice is to put them in offline wallet so the risk of loosing your bitcoins gets lower and you can transfer your bitcoins to online wallet only in case if you are gonna sell them and that also the amount that you require.
It depends on what kind of wallet you are using. Cold storage is recommended if you're planning to keep all your coins in one wallet.
As for me I'm dividing my funds into 3 wallets, 1 Web, 1 Android, 1 windows

In my own opinion with this , i could really say that its better to store all your bitcoins on a single wallet for you dont have any confusions regarding on your transactions , if you do really hold tons of bitcoins then make a partitions, best to store those on a hardware wallet with private keys been keep secure and then get only the amount you would use and put it on either pc wallet or web wallet just be responsible to take care of your bitcoins.
If you have 2FA activated, then I think it is safe. Your mobile is always with you, so everything is ok. But you can buy also Trezor hardware wallet - it is safest bet.
4 years I use blockchain.info and also activated 2FA. as long as it is also I keep my bitcoin in large amounts and I never got any problems, let alone got hacked. blockchain.info even now getting better with new features, as well as better security.
If you ask me, Yes it's safe to keep all your bitcoins in one wallet. I've been keeping my bitcoins on a blockchain wallet for a few months and based on my experience, I didn't encountered any problems. But before you put all your bitcoins to one wallet you need to make sure that your wallet is secured by enabling 2FA so even though the hackers already know your password they can't get your bitcoins because you have the final key which is the 2FA.
I guess that is nice that you can get your private key.
But the problem is someone else has access to it too.

I've been using blockchains wallet for a few years now, keeping small amounts tho, but if you know how to keep your wallet safe, you're good.

For my opinion, is it safe to keep all your bitcoins in one desktop wallet but your computer must be safe from viruses or malware and also encrypted with passwords. For online wallets, I do not think they are very secure as I do not have the full control of the wallet. I cannot get the private keys on the online wallet sometimes. They also might discloses information to a third party as the service can associate your payments together, log your IP address and know your real identity if you provide personal information like your email, name or banking account. So choose your wallet carefully.
Actually you could already get your private keys on a particular web wallet which is blockchain.info , this information is being said on this forum by some member which i knew it also recently and i try to find it and i actually see it and its really a good thing that we have an access to our keys on a web wallet. New thing on my ears but this is really a good news. It depends on how good you are at managing different account.
In case you are a little absentminded and put the list with your passwords in places you forget them, or match the passwords to the wrong wallets, it might be a good decision to make it as easy as possible.
And that would mean having just one wallet where everything comes together.
Of course, if that one wallet is corrupted somehow, everything is gone.
Is there any posibility that one wallet can be corrupted somehow? and then what will the CEO gonna do with the bitcoins? i think it save automatically into his wallet? And yeh it depends on how good he is managing different accounts of bitcoin wallets and for me i always printing important things and information regarding on my bitcoin wallet.In case you are a little absentminded and put the list with your passwords in places you forget them, or match the passwords to the wrong wallets, it might be a good decision to make it as easy as possible.

I think ther is no program out there that can actually break into your wallet and steal the coins you own.
With corrupted I mean that somebody gets hold over your login details. That can happen if the computer has some sort of virus on it that logs your key strikes.
It's the same with the printed version. Pictures are taken relatively fast these days with every smartphone.
Once the coins are out of your reach, they are lost for ever.

I am more comfortable using online wallet. Cause i change my password everyday to avoid being hacked by someone ,and using 2a authentication.
Yes it is good to keep all your bitcoins in one wallet, but you have to follow of their security measures. I am maintaining all my bitcoins at one place only.
It's not a good idea. Even if you already set all the security configurations the system isn't 100% safe.
The chance of something bad happen to your money is low but it's real.
If you have a lot of money, caution with that, because you can be the target of malicious persons.
If you do not intend to keep high amounts of btc on that wallet, if you use it emidiately than i believe its ok, ive been using one wallet (blockchain.info) for pretty much everything and didnt ever had problems, just make sure u use all available security measures.

For me it's not safe. Why?, because what if someone accidentally open your account and transfer all your bitcoin in his account?, then all your hard works, efforts, and time just to earn that amount of bitcoin would just be ended up in nothing. The other is that you can also get ban here if someone notice that you are using one bitcoin wallet using your two account here, and I know you don't want it to happen, that's why it would be better if you would have two different bitcoin wallet in your two account to be safe.
Offline and online wallet has its disadvantages. They all both has a risk. Its up to you how you manage the risks For small amount, i preffer online wallet. But for large amount i preffer cold storage or paper wallet. If you are not confident to to store your btc in one wallet. Then split it and store it to your desired wallet.
