Yah, me too re first wallet at blockchain.info.  It was easy to do.  I had no hardware and no real understanding of Bitcoin.  No one I knew personally was into it at all.

Yet, I have not wanted to try the NEW blockchain wallets because I have read about issues...  As long blockchain.info supports the old ones, I'll keep some low amounts there.

Slava Ukraini!
As I remember my first bitcoin wallet was blockchain.info. Until I found they, I wasn't very interested in bitcoins because I didn't wanted to download heavy bitcoin wallet on my pc with all long hours synchronization with the network. Blockchain online wallet madeusing of bitcoins easier.

I created my first wallet at Blockchain.info back in 2013 but then I went dormant after that because I kinda got bored of bitcoins because I was only getting at most 20k sats with faucets with maximum effort. I didn't know of this forum back then.

The first wallet i used is coinbase as the friend who introduced me to the bitcoin world have told me to open account in coinbase and i am using that wallet till now for all my daily routine uses and coinbase web wallet is safest one even when i got hacked the hacker was not able to crack my wallet as i was using sms and email id if IP change security , so he was not able to login and hack my account.

Now i am using coinbase and xapo account and electrum for desktop wallet

I have a blockchain wallet and that is also the one that I created at the first sight, I have multiple wallets now but I still have the wallet from the beginning.

Before I opened my first wallet I read a lot. I learned that online wallets are very dangerous (it was a time of troubles with Mt. Gox). That's why my first wallet was Multibit. The first online wallet was opened on Poloniex and later on Bittrex to trade altcoins.

When I started with bitcoin, I was young and naive like every newbie is and didn't really had any bitcoins either so wasn't concerned about safety since no one can steal your bitcoins if you don't have any and I created 2 wallets, one at coinbase and other at blockchain.info but as soon as I bought some BTC and started understanding the know hows, I moved to Electrum and have never touched any web wallet again, I use electrum on my desktop and for cold storage and Copay on my mobile.

My first bitcoin address was created using blockchain.info. It was quite a good site and I stored some dust in it, then more and more BTC. Then I moved to a cold storage wallet generated offline from the bitaddress.org script.

I then switched to coinbase because there are no transaction fees. They pay it for you. That's a great advantage in my opinion. The only downside is that you have to wait 3 confirmations for some bitcoins to hit your account.

My first wallet was created on the blockchain that I had, it was a simple wallet and I'm now even using a paper wallet and still a blockchain wallet also.

Unfortunately I created my first bitcoin wallet in blockchain and even with 2FA there I was hacked, maybe because of some kind of malware (was using Windows back then 2 years ago).
Fortunately I was hacked with no so much coins inside, and have moved to electrum and Linux, its been about 1.5 year without any single problem, so I highly recommend this wallet to anyone reading this.

Same here, i have also created blockchain wallet as my first bitcoin account and i still use that wallet and the first address i have generated with that account with proper backup offline. Yes blockchain.info are quite trusted by many but i prefer to store large fund only in paper wallet and offline wallets or hardware wallets.

Like most of us, i created my wallet with blockchain over 2 years ago. I still got that account and have been using it for my daily transactions.

I created my first wallet on blockchain, and I'd recommend it to any newbie who is starting up in crypto, as it doesn't require a downlaod, and is simple to learn.

However, after the new update, I don't like it as much. Maybe because I'm used to the old version, but time will tell.

My first wallet is also blockchain, as I don't know that there is such bitcoin core or other wallets and I rely mostly on those knowledge that my friends tell me. I am noob that time to be honest. But so far, it's good and up to now I am using it..  Smiley

I have been using blockchain.info wallet since I got into bitcoin industry . To be honest I have never had any problem with online wallet . It is a good thing indeed to use online wallet if you do not want to use pc ram .
