I prefer only web and mobile wallet because I don't carry my hardware or paper everywhere I go so having the wallet on the cloud is the safest and by for me. I Think most of the user loves either mobile or web wallets because there is nothing to do to view the wallet just a few taps that's it and no problem at all

Online/web wallet are risky, Anytime web wallet can be attack with hacker.Or site may turn into scam.But web/hardware wallet are safe from hackers and no one hacker can hack your wallet if your computer is free from malicious. sowftware/apps.People use desktop/hardware wallet for storing huge amount ob Bitcoin.Otherwise all of people using Online wallet.ONLINE wallet are easy to use and very comfortable for huge transaction. I am also using online wallet for my daily use.

It's shocking to see how few users use hardware wallets.

It's way easier to use web wallets, it's comfortable. You only have a website and that's it, no need to download or buy anything. However, for big sums it's not worth it to use web wallets only for comfort. It's much better to use paper wallets and hard wallets for the big amounts, like savings for example. This if you don't want to lose your money.

41.6% of the respondents the highest so far, prefers also the webwallet like you. I used web wallet because of its convenient and I don't have to download the whole system.It is convenient for me as I can directly convert to my local currency in instant transfer also to my bank account.

well its also easy coming from our country to pay bills mate, that's why i also prefer using web wallet its so convenient there's an easy way to cash out / converting btc to fiat, i love how our local exchange manage to be multi tasking easy and friendly for all their users.

Electrum seems ideal to me because you don't have to worry about your Bitcoins even if your computer crashes or your Harddrive malfunctions. There are other good centralized ones like coinbase and xapo but I prefer electrum due to what happened to bitfinex.

I used web wallet and desktop wallet, i transfer my bitcoin in web wallet to desktop when my bitcoin in web wallet every reaching 0.003. Thats why i used 2 wallet. Some people tell me that web wallet is not safe, but i think desktop wallet is not 100% safe too, because so many virus and malware attacker in this world. Maybe l'll make my 3rd wallet in external hard drive, later Wink

Moving coins everytime when you reach 0.003 can cost you a lot of money on fees (a lot comparing to the amount you are sending). I would suggest to do it less often and wait for a higher treshold, for example 0.05 btc and send it at once. Nobody cares about hacking your wallet when you have only 3 bucks here and I don't think it will change when there is 50 bucks either.

Use two wallets. Hot and cold. Hot wallet can be online/mobile, only keeping enough bitcoin in it that could be deemed "spending cash". You keep the rest in a cold wallet, deemed your "savings account". It's the best solution I've seen thus far.

It makes sense and your cold wallet could be a physical BTC as well as a paper wallet or HW wallet, the type you are comfortable with. Also, I think alot of people, who otherway consider security, use web wallet only because they do not have more money in BTC than what they can afford to risk in a web wallet for being comfortable.

I use a web wallet as my main wallet. because web wallet can be accessed from anywhere. on any device, as long as it is connected to the Internet. it makes things easier and faster.

I use an online wallet and the local exchange. because it is more flexible than using desktop wallet makes it very difficult although it will be safe. for the security of online wallet you can add 2FA

it is into consideration as well as many others. online wallet has more features and also has high security. we do not worry about saving our bitcoin there. a variety of features and services we can simply by signing up is easy.

I know most people hate them but I use an online wallet in which I love, it's BitGo and I sometimes use Blockchain.info, and Coinbase at the moment.

Most people don't like online wallets and I know that but BitGo is one of the most secure ones on the market with the ability to get your coins back if BitGo was to go under so I'm pretty happy with it and would recommend it to anyone.

For storing my bitcoin I use my desktop wallet while for active purchases and for active transactions I often use my online web wallet especially those which have android app while for trading I use the wallets from exchanges because I often cannot give time to deposit my bitcoin to exchange for to start the trade.

I actually use a mix of various wallet because I think it is too risky to keep all your bitcoins in a single place. If someone gets hold of your single account, all your money will be gone.

I have a hardware wallet, one Blockchain and one coinbase account. I maintain small balances in the online wallets for my transnational needs and also use coinbase, if I need to send money to anyone because coinbase doesn't charge network fees.

I use 3 mobile wallets, Blockchain, Coinbase wallet and Xapo. I also access them on my PC on demand.

I have not used a wallet on my phone. maybe it will be very flexible because you're carrying a cell phone or wallet anywhere, but what about security wallet in the phone itself?

I also use a number of wallets in my mobile phone.Actually I would like to choose those wallet which have supported of both devices,here i like to recall specially blockchain,xapo others coinbase,mycelium.Of course, it is very important to use secure wallet.Blockchain and Xapo are pretty good as they provide a security before accessing the main body.

I am just using web wallet and for 2 years of using it I don't have any problem except for the bank related matters that my bitcoins can not be withdrawn, but still I am not referring to just use web wallet only, I really want to use other bitcoin wallet storage maybe in the future but for now I am sticking to the things that I know so my vote goes to web storage.

That is certainly what most people are doing. But sometimes I wonder how secure are online wallets, such as blockchain.info, since many experienced users recommend using other types of wallets, especially hardware wallets. Probably the safest thing to do would be to save the coins on multiple devices.

And I am guessing that there are many users of web storage you can say that the security of a storage is on the majority of users using them, but I am not truly 100% trusting it I am only giving about 80% of trust on web storage bacause of there are no 100% safe system, but I am giving a big percentage on web storage because I am using it and I have tried it's services and I think that they are taking it's maintenance seriously.

Every type of wallet have its advantages. I use hardware wallet to stash bitcoins that I keep for long term investment. Recently I had some chinese virus on my laptop, after that I dont feel comfortable keeping big amount on it. Luckily it was before I started with bitcoin.
