I have used several wallets before but I found blockchain.info wallet to be easy and accessible from any of my devices which is something I like from them

for now I use a wallet from blockchain, because I think blockchain simple and safe to store my bitcoin. Blockchain on Bitcoin is a decentralized system. This means that Bitcoin is not influenced by any government policies which may have a bad impact on the system.
I agree and since the fact that they give us the private keys makes it even more trusted. I was a big fan of them and was using them since long time but the recent update and the new wallet has forced me to stay away from blockchain, its almost impossible to understand things and even to sign a message I had to search a lot.

I am currently only using blockchain simply enough because I have heard best things about blockchain and it seems most secure.
Also it's the most used wallet if I'm right so that has to count for something aswell. I don't have any plans to switch wallets atm.

Be very very careful while using Blockchain.info wallets. If you forget your password, and if you don't have the 12 word pass-phrase with you, then it is almost impossible to recover the coins. A few days back, it took me almost 6 hours to recover my coins. I was typing my password incorrectly, and there was no option for password recovery.
I am not sure whether you are right but yes when I made blockchain wallet I remember I was handed a very big phrase and I have still kept it safe.
Anyways, I think we can include email now and that should help us recover password or identifier in case of loosing it.
My personal preference holytransaction ( for small amount though ).

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.

That's the safety point using blockchain.info so it's not easy to be hacked by a hacker if no service to repeat the keywords they just need to hack your email.

Yeah it's very fun and profitable for us. But it could just be a disadvantage for us, if we lose the email used for login verification. So the strengthening of the security of email and also blockchain is a very good thing to do in order not to get something that is bad for the wallet that we have

Just one, blockchain, and that account is always empty except when I plan to cash out. I gather founds from different sites and after that I send coins where I need.
Having multiple accounts is good for protection, people who plan to save need better wallet, other people not so much, except when someone is doing risky jobs often.
Blockchain is good wallet for my needs, easy access, and easy to use is what explain blockchain in few lines.

Well i dont have any keys but i get my wallet identifier and i just click on it put my password and they request a confirmation into the email, those 12 word i should had saved it but i havent done, if i loose my coins into the wallet because of that i will get bored. But usually my coins stay just for a while and got invested, or spent.

I only use blockchain for obvious reasons. It's the most secure one for me. You can easily sign a message in Blockchain, the design of the website is very user-friendly so there's no way that you can't figure out how to sign a message in that website. I don't trust the other wallet websites out there.

how about blockesplorer wallet ? coinbase wallet ? or android wallet like mycellium and jaxx ?
im use jaxx for trading with decentralization system, it's very usefull, very simple, ofcourse very safe than centralized exchange like poloniex,bittrex,c-cex,bitstamp etc.

I use multiple wallets, Blockchain and Xapo. I think it's good to have more then one wallet because of security and other isuse. They both have very nice mobile version that is very practical and convenient. You can make transactions anytime, anywhere.

Regarding security it is good to halve different wallet addresses, and not per se different wallet clients. More clients only result in a lot hassle and confusing situations from time to time. Also, online wallets don't contribute to your overal security as you are not the owner of your coins in that aspect.

I don't trust many providers so i decided to use both coinbase and blockchain as my webwallets. They hold the same amount of bitcoin.
And any moment it exceeds a certain amont i make sure to transfer it to my offline wallet.

I use mostly the blockchain.info online wallet and btc core wallet, also electrum and coinbase wallet, but only a few times.

im use xapo and coinbase for daily wallet and for small transaction.
the zero fee of xapo and coinbase help me to pay micropayment, like for top up number phone, pay electric fee etc.

Besides from there, that's like you're still standing into the online wallet? and are you never think for trying using an offline wallet and maybe you're true if the supporting of the mobile platform is becoming the different advantages from the online wallet.

Mobility must be the wonderful advantage, we could enjoy from online wallets. But I do not prefer to go for online wallets and and I'm still sticking with Electrum desktop wallet. I'm having the practice of having watch only addresses wallet, so that I am able to keep my bitcoins in cold storage as I do not need to transact so often.
