My first was blockchain.info, now I prefer to use offline wallet (multibitHD) but I still use blockchain for some transactions because I can use it anytime anywhere with the android application.

I also created my first wallet on the blockchain and the most people even did this because it was the most popular one.
Another thing is that this wallet was great and is still great in my eyes.

Coinbase and i still use it for small transactions but not for storing my bitcoins i don't trust any online wallet for this,i also have blockchain and xapo accounts but i prefer coinbase.

Coinbase is a reputable company but like you I don't trust them with large amounts of bitcoin. I have to say i've never encountered problems with them, but they are typically a company which due some fault on their behave will lock your bitcons for weeks.

I have started using bitcoin at blockchain too,my friend suggested me it a loong time ago,and i was satisfied with using it.
Actually i still do,but i will probably change it into offline wallet,because it is more safer than the online one,which i dont like while using blockchain.

The first web wallet  was Blockchain. info) when i learn about bitcoin i searched Blockchain. info it is very easy  and stable i have try xappo coinbase but for me Blockchain. info is number 1 online wallet
Very well said blockchain has less errors and if you like to trade a lot maybe say on secondstrade.com then blockchain is the best I used a different wallet called coinbase on the trading platform but nothing appeared on the transactions list so I had to delete that wallet and go back to blockchain. I think its because of the api its more friendly and better than coinbase.

Blockchain.info was my first wallet back in 2014 , was also the first wallet to be hacked and I immediately after quit using it and started using Electrum since then until now without a single problem happening in this big amount of time, almost 2 years. Anyway I decided to give a try to this new wallet of blockchain and opened an account in my Linux PC, added all of the security measures and also now my email is hardened with 2FA so , so far so good. But I keep very very few amount of coins there as no matter the hardened security it still remains a wallet which you rely on a third party so I prefer more Electrum which I am in charge of my private keys and my bitcoins.

When i started there were not many reliable wallets, so I went with the largest one: blockchain. A good choice considering I am still with them.

Like the most I also created on the blockchain because it was the only one back in that days that was secured and good if you ask me.

First site where I created wallet first time was Blockchain.. but after some time I left blockhain because I lost some money from my wallet and people were saying that blockchain can be easily hacked. then I started to use xapo. but as xapo doesn't provide some necessary features like signing message, private keys, now I am again using blockchain and electrum.

Blockchain was the first for many of us but i know a lot of people also use coinbase and xapo. In terms of volume coinbase is bigger, maybe even big as blockchain these days.

Blockchain is okay, I created my first wallet on coinbase, they are also pretty good secured and to be honest online wallets are no the securest wallets these days.
You can better now take a paper wallet so you cannot get hacked in the most cases.

There is no way to hack paper wallet Smiley and it is true that Coinbase is very good secured. As i know from all online wallets and exchanges Coinbase have the best security.
Anyway, my first wallet was MultiBit, but now I'm not too happy with him. It seems to me that the most practical is Electrum.

My first wallet is multibit and still using it till now, and I have other wallet on an exchange (use it only when I want to convert my btc to fiat)

I've tried multibit too when i started but it needed a lot of time to sync, so I opened an account with blockchain.info. A few months later coinbase opened shop so i made an account there (and it is my main wallet now) but blockchain was my first site.

Soon, I have to go away.
First I was with Coin base, they think they own your money, and they only send the transactions to blockchain.info

I could do that myself, so I did made an account on  https://blockchain.info

Coinbase has terrible support also.

Never used a web wallet, and never will, I use Electrum and it's great for me, I only believe in desktop or mobile wallets, never web wallets.
The same as your wallet. my first wallet is electrum and its easy to create wallet in electrum and its easy to use.. but the problem is the fee for every transaction is not free unlike other web wallet like coinbase...

I created my first wallet simply on the blockchain because that was the easiest way and also very safe compared with others.

I also created on the blockchain websites like a lot of other people, I think blockchain is also the most popular one of these days in my eyes.
This is most likely also because they are trusted and secured.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The best advice you will gonna hear: blockchain.info wallet is only good when you need mobile/online wallet and prefer instant access to your bitcoins.
It is good if you not use it as your primary wallet and keep only fracture of your coins there! For stashing your coins use something else: preferably full validation wallet like Bitcoin core or Armory.

I've also created my first BTCitcoin wallet on blockchain.info (same as to majority of BTCitcoin users) and never had any major problem with them (mostly minor complications that gets sorted out within hours). I noticed you mentioning it being the safest wallet however that's not true due to it's online nature, there will always be the chance that your account being hacked (same with any other web wallet). The safest would be offline hardware wallets (like Trezor for instance).

If I remember correctly the first Bitcoin wallet I have ever used must be the Blockchain wallet. When I found out about Bitcoin I started reading about it more on this forum and on the official Bitcoin site and the Blockchain wallet was recommended for new users of Bitcoin due to its ease of use and friendly interface so I created my wallet there.

Actually I was referred to block chain wallet site when I started to feel more about bitcoin by a local site, lol and started to experiment
With using freebitco.in faucet.
Though I downloaded core wallet almost 40GB but 2 or 3 days ago just deleted the whole thing but still have the logs. I ran the core wallet
Every day for 2 or 3 hours for a month, even confirmed around 400 transactions in total but never got the reward as I didn't sync 100%.

I think almost everyone has created a Blockchain wallet when they were starting out to use Bitcoin for the first time. My first ever wallet was also a Blockchain wallet because it was recommended as very user friendly to Bitcoin novices. I am still using online wallets to this day but now I mostly prefer to use mobile Bitcoin wallets because they are more convenient when I am on the go. Anyway I would recommend checking out the Blockchain wallet to anyone who wants to get started with Bitcoin.
