I have three classes using the wallet if it is blockchain, Xapo and coins.ph . The blockchain or Xapo is used to withdraw to online gaming or the investment site . Coins.ph and here I am moving from my blockchain and Xapo . Consequently in our country the local wallet is strictly prohibited that they not be used to gamble and the investment site coins.ph . So I just used it as cash out . Because if you know coins.ph from the gambling investment and settled them may be able to block your account .

I'm using the blockchain wallet because its a pretty safe one and its also a easy platform plus the fact is that it has a good security.
I love the 2fa security option from google.
The blockchain is a good wallet but you have to keep in your mind that its an online wallet so its not 100% safe, I think the blockchain is okay, I'm also using it but only for some payments.
For other than that I'm not using the blockchain at all.
we all know online wallets are risky, but we also want bitcoin to be easy to use and it is always an argument why bitcoin is not growing faster.
i think if other online wallets would use at least the same standard as blockchain it would be very good for bitcoin.

I also think that is true what you are saying but its always very difficult to say most of the times its risky to store your bitcoins on a online wallet but it feels okay and its easy to manage too.
I use the blockchain sometimes and I'm happy with it.
Few months ago i experience delay in coinbase i dont know about the problem maybe they are not accepting gambling address to receive funds from gambling site to coinbase after send in few days or weeks before they solve this issue. but i search here and found some thread that they are not accepting gamlbing site to receive funds from gambling site.. thats why i stop using them instead i convert into electrum is easy to use than the other wallet..

from the beginning using bitcoin, I always use the wallet blockchain.info. for me, blockchain.info known and trusted. also use very easy. I use it on my PC and android. really easy to send anytime and anywhere. for security I use google authenticator(2FA) and until now either never lose.

That's good until the site you are holding your bitcoins specifically blockchain.info may be hit by a Ddos attack or decide to close up shop. What would you do in such situation ? If I were you I would try to change wallet immediately to one I and only I am the only one being in charge of my private keys. Remember you only own bitcoin when you also own the private keys and don't rely on third party to hold your coins.

And a last note. Blockchain.info is still the wallet with the most hacks in all bitcoin history in case people reading this don't know yet.

blockchain.info, it can creates multiple addresses and no need to download the whole blockchain. I can get various addresses after i recieved money
Nothing wrong with using Blockchain for storing small amounts, but I'd keep larger amounts in cold storage or at least a desktop wallet that's secure.
But amounts under 1 Bitcoin should be fine to keep on Blockchain.info

I'm using the blockchain wallets for some payment and I also have a cold storage for my large amount so it cannot get stolen.
I'm doing it all for the security only handling small amounts on blockchain.

Blockchain is my most trusted wallet because it's official. Other all 3rd party wallet looks scam for me but coindesk, xapo looks quit legit but with with money I can't take any risk. So in my opinion blockchain is best wallet.

I think I will use also xapo wallet or any other wallet that is safe. That my money will be safe because my friend wallet hacked so it is used by someone else so I will double check if that wallet is safe of not.

About the safety thing, all web based bitcoin wallet are not safe to consider since you don't hold your private keys here. Even in those reputable bitcoin exchanges aren't safe.

But it doesn't mean they aren't trusted. Let's just hope for the best they will not become a fraud someday as web wallets have a services that really gives comfortability to it's users.

I'm using a online wallet called the blockchain, of course everyone knows this one but I'm simply using this one because its easy.
Another fact is that its easy with small payments I have to do with the bitcoin.
