I want a simple, as long as I know bitcoin about 2 years I only use 1 web wallet from coinbase. the other reason was since I have a wallet, I've yet to save a bitcoin over 0.5 btc.

An online wallet to do my transactions and an offline to where I store most of it. Better be safe than risking it all in an online one. You cant see what could happen if suddenly one wallet site tells they are hacked, which I see is always a lie just to run off from their cusromers. They just go away once they got the quota they wanted.

Exactly. That really is the best solution. Online wallet (exchange, web, desktop, mobile, etc) for as your "spending account" that you don't keep much in, then a very secure offline wallet as your "savings account". I don't see how anything else could be better than that.

I only use lightwallet like electrum for my savings, sometimes I try to get the priv key and create a paperwallet then delete the original wallet.  Then I send my fund to that . I don't know how safe is that method but it works fine to me.

Paper wallets are far safer than online desktop wallets, so it's good that you use those for savings. If you really want to go all out with security for your paper wallets do some research on "encrypted multisig paper wallets". Set that up right, and your bitcoins are more secure than any other method out there for securing bitcoins.
Its either Paper or Hardware wallets would really be safer compared to those web wallets but  desktop wallet is somehow safer compared to web wallets.We just need to secure our PC so that we wont be easily got hacked or stolen our bitcoins. Maximum security would be really needed.

I use the wallet of the exchanger because I think it's easier and simple, for safety I use two-factor authentication. I've never encountered a problem until now using a wallet exchanger

I mostly use a web wallet and that is blockchain.info to be exact because I like their feature where you could send btc to multiple addresses in one transaction. I have been using other wallets like mycelium the mobile version for quite a while, it serves as my backup funds if blockchain goes down.
to me i am using two wallets one is Xapo and the second is blockcain.info. both are online wallet, but actually i do not have such a big amount of bitcoin to worry about, i also used yobit and still using it when feel necessary. but mostly i use xapo. it give good security to my wallet  i can trust on xapo for any amount.

Most of the people use blockcain for web wallet.Do you know that Xapo starting charge for the transaction?It's not so little.I have seen one post here about this.I know, Peple like to use Xapo wallet for the free transaction.Now you can use coinbase wallet.It also free of charge.Coinbase has also a good security system.You can activate 2FA for higher security.Coinbase is safe and secure near to me, only my personal Opinion.

There is a thread about recomendations for the best wallet to use, but not all practice what they preach, so this poll is to see what people are actually using.
I understand that some people use multiple wallets of different kinds, so this poll asks which wallet is most used, this can be measured either by quantity of bitcoin or ammount of transactions.


I think this question has been already asked before,  just don't know form what section that I read it. Anyway,  right now I am using electrum wallet, xapo, and blockchain. They are all quite good and legit.

There are different wallets for different intentions. Is your intention to save the Bitcoins? So a paper wallet is what you need. Are you intent on using bitcoins? So you need a wallet like electrum or some of a kind. Basically that's it, a hot wallet and a cold wallet. I use the paper for the amounts I want to keep and the electrum for daily transactions.

I like to use Web Wallet. Because, There are lots of advantages to using web wallet. You can buy and pay the bill quickly with it. And, It is the safest way to pay or buy something by Web Wallet. Moreover, I am a freelancer so, most of my client pay me by web wallet. However, I am using Coinbase web wallet for BTC. Thank you and best of luck.

Well, I usually choose web wallet with mobile application for easy access. I just open the full site when needed because we know that in a mobile application the features is limited. I have never tried yet to try the others. Maybe I have no Idea on how to use them.
