so my friend convince me to try to use myEther wallet in waves wallet because i have no experience about what is the best to use it to transaction.

It's really a matter of personal choice. But I do suggest and if you're going to get your coins for anything more than 24 hours you want to keep them in a safe way to do so with an offline software wallet.  Desktop wallets are the best considering the fact that  hardfork is around 10 days from now and online wallets wont be save choice.

I use electrum as my main savings wallet and blockchain.info as a spending wallet. I use to just use block chain.info but when I bought more Bitcoin and started collecting I wanted control of my private keys so I made the switch and I'm very happy. It's nice to have a fully functional and safe wallet that doesn't need the blockchain on your PC but rather connects to it online. Very clever.

Which one suits you the most?

I only use blockchain.info wallets and offline wallets. I think these are the safest and most secure. I just try to secure the private keys because otherwise, there's no way to access the coins.

Bitcoin Core, because why not. It doesn't really cost me anything to have the entire blockchain downloaded and it supports the network.

Furthermore I don't trust any onlinewallets and haven't ordered a hardware wallet yet.

Another solution I use (not for me but for a community I am part of and in charge of storing our funds) I have got a live USB with tailOS, which has electrum installed.

Im using wallets that i have full control of my bitcoins,the one with private keys. Because of the upcoming event on bitcoin, we should take away our bitcoins on exchanges and wallets that we dont have full control of our bitcoins.
It seems to me that the use of a purse is easier than to keep their codes in the computer. Maybe you if you refuse to use e-wallet, you have more control over their bitcoin, but what will you do if your computer is infected with a virus the extortioner?

If your concern is the infection of virus then that is the power of Ledger Nano S. It is encrypted inside that small device and you can use it in any computer even if it is infected with a virus or malware.  If it the most safest hardware wallet i know.

I use blokchain for the online wallet and mycelium for the mobile wallet  It's easy to use, simple, interface and safe enough.I also use Ledger wallet.  I'm having no problems about security. I keep my majority of coins in blockchain.info , but i want to try coinbase because of its low fee of transactions

I used Electrum wallet as it is free software, secure, lightweight and supporting 2fa and multisig. People are eligible to run electrum server and sign transactions even in offline. You can also verify transactions stored in Bitcoin Block chain or not. Also, Electrum supports the hardware wallets, Keepkey, Trezor and Ledger. So, I prefer for this, but multiple mobile and desktop wallets in the market.

Used Electrum wallet as well. Like yours because its lightweight and you can set dynamic fees which is very good. This is the best wallet for me besides Bitcoin Core. But unlike Bitcoin core, itdoes not download the blockchain, it requests that information from a server. No delays, always up-to-date. Also another great benefit of Electrum is that it can be used with TREZOR or Ledger so you can send Bitcoins from your cold storage device as well.

It all depends on your preference. For me Im using coins.ph to buy bitcoin using fiat money and to store it temporarily using mycelium. For cold storage and big amounts im using my Ledger Nano S.

Its balance of convenience of being mobile and safety. I prefer safety first.

I use at Ethereum wallets , becauae I do some caimpain and thise side need to etherrum wallat address  so i use it and uses are very easy for me.
But there is not difficult in bitcoin wallets as well. Like if you are using Ethereaum you may not having bitcoin wallet knowledge or maybe not having Bitcoin knowledge therefore you are using Ethereum crypto currency so I would suggest you study about bitcoin.

Because bitcoin is on top. Which is known in market while about Ethereum less no of people are interesting in Ethereum.

I'm utilizing blockchain.info wallet since I've begun with Bitcoin and had no issues by any means. Despite everything, I'm having no problems.I will prescribe it to any individual who's not managing tremendous measures of Bitcoin
It's my closely-held conviction

I'm using this Electrum wallet that my friend suggested to me, he said that I should not use this web wallets because it can't be trusted fully, there is still possibility that it might become a scam and so on, though the transaction fee on this wallet is a little bit high but worth it.

Electrum and a Nano S, all you could need imo. They work nice together too.

Just curious, how much BTC do you have to own before you will consider a hardware wallet?

Consider buying one as early as you decided that you will go into bitcoin seriously. its not on the initial amount of bitcoin that you have. its more of a long term planning and security. for a small amount of money you can already buy a hardware wallet and you will secure your bitcoin for real. A Ledger Nano S is one of the good example of hardware wallet. You can check it out here https://www.ledgerwallet.com

With one device you can store all your bitcoin plus you can also store all your altcoins. How perfect is that.

Using a combination of different wallets, not because of having too much coins (not that I don't want to get more), but because of the advantages of each, for example, blockchain is perfect for some online transactions, the same for Electrum, while core is better as storage IMO.
