i use blockchain.info as online wallet, electrum wallet for easy storage as it is a light weight wallet which can be used easily in any PC or LAP and can be used as offline wallet too with the portable wallet of electrum


I use Coinbase as my wallet.  I do this because I feel that it is secure and also it makes it easier for me to transfer my BTC into USD in a blink of an eye, faster than what I have seen with other wallets.  This concerns me because if I ever see the fall in a bad way, I want to be able to get out anywhere I have a phone to access Coinbase.

I use 3 bitcoin wallets. Coinbase, blockchain, and coins.ph wallet which is exclusive here in the Philippines. I use coins.ph as main wallet because they offer many services like pay your credit card bill, electric and water bills, top-up your mobile phomes, you can even buy steam wallet codes using that wallet. I only use coinbase and blockchain  as secondary wallet and for faucets. Grin

I only used 1 bitcoin wallet which is blockchain i feel that the security in blockchain is pretty solid
I am considering to switch to offline wallet when i got more bitcoin

you should do that as fast as possible.

although blockchain.info has a good security and if you have a strong password and also enable 2fa you are fairly safe but you can't compare it to safety of cold storage.

i have an old blockchain.info wallet which i have enabled the 2fa with a very strong password for it but since i felt it is not enough security i switched to cold storage and i used Electrum for that because i don't have to download the whole blockchain.

I myself use 3 different wallets. One is on my Android device, one on my desktop PC and one online.

The one i like the most is on my desktop, MultiBit. I like it because you can quicky generate new deposit adresses and keep track of your incomes and outcomes. I only use Blockchain for some payments, and on my mobile phone i have MyCelium wallet, which i use for mobile/QR code scanning payments.

What wallets do you use and which one do you prefer and why?
i use different wallets one is xapo, cause i can get bits on xapo free, fast and many way like faucet sites and application on phone second is coinbase cause i have an link shortener that only pay coinbase and last is coins[.]ph cause that's the only wallet that i can use to cash out some of my bitcoin and convert into real money and has a instant transfer from coins[.]ph to coins[.]ph transfer

I only use  a paper wallet because I consider a paper wallet as secure and its also that I like it very much.
I have a online wallet but I'm just scared that I get hacked or something, so I do not risk it to put amounts on it these days.

I wanted to use paper wallets too but the problem with paper is that although it is the most secure way, you cannot spend coins from paper easily which means you have to sweep the keys if you want to spend any of the coins.

instead I use electrum as a cold storage to sign the transaction offline and only broadcast it online. that way I am both safe and can spend at any time.

Used Bitcoin-Core for years, until the 50gb in my harddrive started to become painful as I ran out of space. Moved everything to Electrum recently, and dealt for a week with a "Synchronizing..." freeze that eventually got solved by removing files on the config folder.

Now I use Electrum as a hot wallet and a Trezor for my long term storage.
On my phone I use Mycelium.

I am using blockchain and so far no problem.I see there are so many advanced wallets have been developed but I am fully satisfied with current wallet provider.I know it is risky to use services of any online wallet provider.For my holdings is not big thing.It is used by thousands still.

I use blockchain and multibit as I think both are very safe wallets and if I need to convert my coins to my local currency then I use localbitcoins.

I have only used blockchain. I guess it is a wallet very safe and the best, because to my knowledge, blockchain bitcoin has existed since the first appeared, so I believe with storage in blockchain

I am using blockchain.info because it is good and working fine.I have good strong password with Google Authenticator.I also have desktop core wallet but that I use to store my investment.I don't feel need for online use to look at some other wallet provider at the moment.
