For bitcoin i use Electrum. Cause it's safe, easy to use and virus free. Sometimes i use exchange site too. But it's too risky use 3rd party site. I only use exchange when i want to buy some other coin. When time come for holding btc i choose Electrum. Just make sure your PK is safe. Then nothing to worry about your precious BTC.... Smiley

Well depends on ammount, if you have more ammount I would suggest to use some hardware wallet like Ledger S nano.

I am using Ledger S nano, and I am pretty satsfy.

Lately, with the bigger networks no way I am gonna download the full node of Bitcoin or Ethereum. A light client is the best way to go and till today I never had a problem with using a light client. I should have switched sooner. In the past, I needed to wait hours to make a transaction. Because I needed to wait for the syncing. That made it slow to access funds and when I got it finally on an exchange it was kinda too late to already step into a trade. Storing it on an exchange is not smart either with all the hacks lately. light wallet suits my needs.

I will also get the full node for bitcoin, but my internet connection is very slow. While downloading it, it prevents me from doing my daily internet surf. I use web wallet in blockchain, but I also use exchange wallets with 2fa as well. I also like waves platform but they don't have 2fa function.

I use four kinds of bitcoin wallets: coinomo, mind wallet, paper wallet and an online wallet. Now I search for a wallet like coinomi but with another exchanger than shapeshift. It is to expensive.

Since I first knew bitcoin, I just used web wallet (blockchain, xapo and coinbase). now 3 web wallet is the better security system and their service, for xapo gradually I subtract because the fee is very high and I redirect to blockchain.

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 preferably and commonly use light weight wallet on mobile because for me I can easily access my account and check my bitcoin status whenever and wherever I am. Also it is handy unlike using personal computer wherein you need to stuck out a big size of gadget just to see your bitcoin status.

well for me im only using an android app bitcoin wallet , to send and recieve any bitcoins.  i dont store bitcoins for a verry long time and im spending it whenever i recieve a single amount coins so i think its ok to only use this kind of wallet if you dont have a big business regarding on your bitcoins, altough there are stil people would recomend me to use more secured wallets like hardware wallets or cold wallets.

Electrum is a good wallet.  It provides cold-storage and it is light.  It's open source and it has been around for several years.

I'm not convinced that a rogue employee at the manufacturer of a hardware wallet cannot put in nefarious code into the firmware.

Personally, I am completely satisfied with my ledger nano. The list of ERC20 tokens available on MEW is relatively long and ultimately allows to store a good quantity. Otherwise, I use the wallet developed by each currency, Neon type for my NEO (which makes it possible to win GAS in addition), WAVES etc ... I do not know what is more secure between specific wallets of a currency and generic wallets as electrum. I have never tried them!

I read that there is a survey for which is the most used wallet. I think what I am using, like my sister is light weight mobile named coins.Ph. she said that it is widely used in the Philippines and it will be much faster to convert bitcoin to money. In my own observation, I think there are no stores accepting bitcoin that is why she is just converting it to money.

I use an online wallet because I am in a constant state of affairs, it has many advantages in this case, because it can not be a computer anywhere, and there are many mobile applications, I definitely recommend it.

Actually, I prefer to use online wallet because its very easy to use and I also use it in different kind of transaction. Furthermore, I suggest try to use more than two wallet because there are many kind of coins and they are different from each other so you should use specific wallet on that coin.

Without any doubt and even it's risky to use online wallet, we can't take the fact that using web wallets is more less hassle when sending coins to other. Their are also lots of services associated with an online wallet to freely use our bitcoin in many ways that's why it's convenient to used it.

Just always remember that only used online wallet for their services and not as a storage. Well I guess popular online wallets today will not do shit because some of their are licensed companies.

The poll is a single choice answer cause I know 4 - 5 people who use 2 diff types of wallets.I currently use only a web wallet once I again stock up my bitcoins I'll start using some other types of wallets too because in the past I just used a web wallet and my friend suggested me using another type of wallets because it is safer than the web wallets I don't why can someone tell me about this wallet thing?

I do not use any single wallet for my bitcoins. I always keep more than two wallets including hardware and online wallet. This is the key to safely store my bitcoins. I also maintain a small balance in my trading accounts which I use for daily trading.

never keep your bitcoins in any single wallet as it can be hacked and you will end up loosing all your bitcoins. Always use more than two wallets for your bitcoins so that if any one wallet is hacked, some of your bitcoins will be saved.
