I'm using web wallet as of now because it is easy to access when I have transaction online and it is only a small amount but when the time comes that I need to do big transaction or let say I have big amount of  to stack then I will use electrum light wallet on my desktop they say it is the best offline light weight wallet on pc.
ofcource man for small amount of bitcoin like less than 1 or exacly 1 the online wallets are the best one to use because they are easy to access for investing bitcoin for they future you may use desktop wallet because it is much more save than online.....

I use a web wallet, because I felt safe and use a web wallet

I too prefer web wallet for the access from anywhere possibility which is not possible with desktop or hardware wallets. These days several web wallets are there and if concerned about the hacking of wallets the percentage is very low to something less than one percentage.

I always use online wallet.Xapo & coinbase is my favourite wallet.But now xapo cherging fees for transaction.So I like to use coinbase only.I am not a gambler so I have no problem using coinbase.
Yeah coinbase does not support gambling so it is really annoying if you are a Bitcoin gambler. However, it is not very safe to use online wallet because the third party is holding your money, not yourself. If you plan to stay in Bitcoin for a long time, you should learn how to use other kinds of wallet

Yes, Xapo and Coinbase is for me best choices. I have not used Xapo for a long time, and I did not know that now charging a fee there. Also, I expect in soon from Coinbase to start charge fee.
when I have a greater amount of bitcoin, probably will use desktop wallet

But I didn't see anywhere they mentioned about the transaction fees. Also, they don't show you how much they charge for each transaction, so I don't know whether they are charging fees. I too use it XAPO for routine transactions because they don't charge any fee and transactions are quite fast.

I am shocked to see that so many people are still using a web wallet. I think it is time for people to realise that you can just get a software wallet, which is free and so much safer. I personally use a ledger wallet to store most of my Bitcoin. It is safe and easy to use, it is also much cheaper than a trezor. I am thinking about using a paper wallet soon though, to have the best security. It is pretty stupid that you need a chrome app for the ledger and trezor. Hopefully this changes soon.

We have several wallets  were we can used it properly whether it is Bitcoin or altcoins. Now if we are going to get a bitcoin wallet, we can get it on any exchange sites, such as: poloniex, bittrex, c-cex, yobit, alcurex, novaexchange etc. Or you can get in blockchain.com, Or you can download Bitcoin core, Multibit.org, or electrum. So for me I used Electrum at the present time now and bitcoin core, electrum I can consider it as light weight.

I used also cold wallet but not in the poll. I used cold wallet because it is very safe and secure and highly recommended for me. I'm only using a mobile wallet. Mostly people who used bitcoin is using cold wallet. And so far there is no issue on that because the developers can control your bitcoin definitely because it is a offline wallet not a online.

I use multiple wallets, each one has its functionality, upsides and downsides. for now I use a web wallet for small amount of Bitcoin, and a full node wallet to store Bitcoins that I hold as a long-term investment.

I use a wallet that has multi sig implemented for security purposes.
So it doesn't get hacked into unexpectedly.
It would also help if you use a webwallet to get one with the 2FA option available and to active it.
If you don't do that then your bitcoins are not safe.

I guess I use Web Wallet. Well, I use blockchain, and I think it was included into the category Web Wallet. since bitcoin know, I've been using blockchain, and I think, I use it because blockchain indeed is a trusted wallet. many people who have used it then.

I think you must add checkbox for the options. Because, most of  the peoples will not use only one wallet. And I'm using a mobile wallet as my primary wallet and also i'm using desktop wallet and web wallet (its rare case still i'll store some funds there for emergency).

Since the first time knew bitcoin, I've been using a web wallet probably because web wallet is easy to use and I can accessed in anywhere for safety you should not worry, you only need to add additional security for it.

I only use Electrum (Lightweight Wallet for Desktop) and Mycelium (Lightweight Wallet for Mobile). Both of them are easy to use, have simple UI and very secure Smiley
But, i can't believe many bitcoiner still use Web Wallet these days, especially the centralized one.

I always use online wallet.Xapo & coinbase is my favourite wallet.But now xapo cherging fees for transaction.So I like to use coinbase only.I am not a gambler so I have no problem using coinbase.

In case you don't know, many users complained that Coinbase suddenly closed their account without real/strong reason. You could take a look at Service Discussion or Coinbase social media.
Beware when you use centralized service.
