Thanks to mocacinno for that great answer at the first page.
I guess that answers it all.

Just be aware if you are using the internet. If you have loads of bitcoin then supply it with the best security.
What could be the best security? Really simple. Not much of usage in websites. Just plain internet that will collect the bitcoin to be stored then you could take it off again.

Make another connection if you have a family that will also use the internet. Do not mix it.

Yes. It is very safe as far as you do not go clicking on phished sites and the rest.
You need to ensure that you logout of your wallet after transactions.
Do not use passwords that are very easy to guess by mere checking out your name.
Ensure your passcodes or private keys are safely stored too.

Is it safe to manage multiple bitcoin wallets from one pc?
Why wouldn't it be? just be careful with viruses and risky websites and you'll be fine. And I believe it is not even possible for other people to know where our money is stored anyway, so I suppose the risks are the same as with a single wallet. Why do you need multiple wallets though? It's hard not to mix the transactions and provide the right addresses this way, no? And it leads to suggestion that maybe you want to abuse some systems like sig campaigns by enrolling with various accounts and various wallets... If you are afraid of the transactions being traced, there are many anonymous coins our there. I believe the also still exist websites that can mix the addresses for you. Here is a famous example: https://chipmixer.com/.

I think it's safe, if your computer is healthy and avoid various viruses and phishing, and you must be careful when accessing the internet. There is nothing 100% safe and you must remain vigilant in safeguarding the assets you have.

I think that the safest system for our precious coins to save them in exchange. Because you can use google autenticator when you login to exchange and it is in your hand in your smart phone. When i use my exchanges first i use google autenticator then i use text messages code. So if you use them together no one can steal your money. It is safer than MEW i believe.

I disagree..

What if the exchange locks your account?
What if the exchange gets hacked?
What if the exchange turns scam?
What about a mitm attack?
What if you fall for a phising link?
What if your pc gets infected with a password stealing virus?

If you are not the only one in controll of your private keys, you are not in controll of your funds.

Do not store your funds on an exchange longer than you need to complete a trade... 2fa authentication or unique passords will not save you from these attack vectors (except the last one)

The best wallet in the market is the AML BitCoin wallet. This coin cant and will never be hacked.
I had never heared about this one, did some research... It turns out aml bitcoin is just some altcoin. This has nothing to do with the discussion about bitcoin wallets.
Edit: but then i went trough your posthistory, and found out 100% of your post are promoting this altcoin, leading me to believe you are just a payed shill so you are not really in here for bitcoin discussion, but merely to spam for your employer

probably it's safe but i suggest to make some backup always such the private key and etc to assure everything will be ok especially when you want to login to your another bitcoin wallet . And also by the way always stay away on some site that always provide links especially if it's suspicious,  because mostly nowadays are phishing links from hackers to hack our personal information and etc. So be careful mate. 
absolutely right, a little extra be sure to always keep private keys so that people do not know to keep in a safe place. because we can only open private keys. so it's better to backup

I think, it would be better if you save not only on one computer, keep a guard when your computer is damaged you still have private keys on another computer

Yes, it's not about on how many wallets you are using at the same gadgets or computers. It's about how you take care of it, how you access Internet with care not careless on anything can do. Just be safe and be sure to save data to other storage like flash drive so in case of damage. Keys is not left behind

even if you store dozens of wallets in 1 pc, it will remain safe, as long as you also maintain the privacy of the bitcoin private address, it would be better if you backup files on another storage, but I do not recommend using cloud storage

Well, this depends on how safe/secure you want your system to be.

The maximum amount of money you are ready to store on your computer (which is connected to the internet) fully depends on your own preference.

Usually, you shouldn't store more than a few hundred $ worth of cryptos on your desktop pc. It doesn't matter whether they are hold in 1 or 5 wallets.
If an attacker can compromise your system, he will gain access to all of your wallets on this PC (not necessarily instantly, but definitely slowly over time).

Note, that a shady wallet can be malware itself. Only trust recommended, open-source and verified wallets.


If the amount of money you hold can absorb the cost of a hardware wallet, get one. It will save you a lot of money in the long run.
Without being too techy and security-minded, the chances are high you will get infected with malware sooner or later.
The only chance to circumvent this is to either store your coins offline (paper wallet, offline-/online- setup) or inside of a hardware wallet.

I feel very comfortable using a wallet with the reason that it is very safe to save money on investments. and only we know how to open the wallet because it is filled with very tight security.

If you have a large amount of Bitcoin and altcoin then using the same on a PC will be risky! Make a split and use a cold wallet safely

Never, remember-never work on a machine where your wallets are stored under an Administrator account. Any OS is susceptible to viruses, even if it's a UNIX system. Never save passwords in browsers, all that Google knows-everyone knows. All keys from purses keep on USB flash drive and not on hard disk. Wallet.dat move all the same. Do not spare the money and buy a hardware wallet ($99 is not such a big price, but all your coins will be with you ) do not shout at every corner, forum, blog, social network, etc.that you are engaged in cryptocurrency. If possible, then all your wallets run on another computer that has limited access to the Internet (I have a separate PC and a router Mikrotik, on which I banned all ports, except for the ones I need ) Paranoia about security can be further developed, but the examples that I gave are elementary.

I think yes, being a bitcoin investor I always wanted to be safe, especially my wallet. I always divide my bitcoin  send  many other wallets and save it to my computer. Such storage saves me time each time I want to check my wallet. I keep my password and send the necessary information to gmail.
I'm very satisfied to used mobile Electroneum wallet, i'm too afraid to used PC wallet because sometimes my wallet affected by malware if i'm regularly used "Kaspersky Internet Security" why your all information stored in gmail at any time you are attacked by the hackers because and if unfortunately your gmail will be hacked when you lost everything. Offline store i mean printing store always the best safety.

I think it is okay as long as your pc is secure. Using different pcs or laptop for every different wallet is useless if the pc or tgmhe laptop is not safe. Me, I have coinsph, mew, waves account, etc and yes I am opening those account in my pc and that is only one. So far, I am happy, nothing bad happen to my coins and my accounts.
