Hello guys, I'm new to bitcoin, so there are things that I misunderstand.
I have a big interest in bitcoin, in the future, I want to make money with and invest in bitcoin. So I really need your advice.
1) Which wallet should I choose to keep btc? There are so many choices so that confuse me. I know about Electrum, Blockchain, Coinbase,... Does it secure?
2) I need to make money by myself before I invest them, so how can I do to make some bitcoin?

Thanks for your help.

Personally i used an mobile application wallet called coin.ph where you can convert bitcoin, pay bills or even buy some load. Its a multipurpose wallet in short. You can do many transactioin here. It doesnt matter how big or how small you gonna cash in it depends on your choice. I hope you have a time to try this application. You could also try blockchain especially when you do gambling. But i suggest stop gambling and try to do signature campaign here in forum.

Ive try to use that wallet and i could say its really convenient since you could do many things regarding on their services offered not only a main web online wallet but there are lots of features that you will surely love but speaking of huge amounts of bitcoin hardware wallets would be recommended.

Well if you really are interested in Bitcoin, how much Bitcoin are you actually going to buy? And are you going to use that daily, monthly or just store it for a long time? If you are willing to spend money on a Bitcoin wallet, then you should probably buy a hardware wallet. It would also mean that you can use your Bitcoin daily or whenever you want. If you aren't willing to spend money, then you should stick with a software wallet like electrum which is probably the second most secure wallet. If you are only going to store a little bit of Bitcoin, then a online wallet like Coinbase will be perfectly fine.

You can use paper wallets because it is safe and it is easy to manage since its physical and offline where you can store a lot of bitcoin and you don't have to worry about those hackers who are gonna steal your money in bitcoins. You just need a nice printer whose can print a high quality and also a nice durable paper so even you put it in a bag it doesn't break easily.

You should choose SpectroCoin. You can buy, sell bitcoins and exchange them to other currencies in the wallet. We also have a debit card that is linked to the wallet and you can spend your bitcoins at any merchant that accepts VISA cards.

Thats great choice and I have mine in my country I also choose coins.ph btc wallet and fiat wallet is a package of my online wallet, fast transaction with blockchain. It has also visa cards activation offered nowadays which is easy to use and convenient to the users, can be used to do online purchases and over the counter payments.

i think desktop wallet is secured one
just only you can access your bitcoin
but many web based wallet its safe too , so its depends on you

I think you just need to add authentication for online wallet. then it will be very safe online wallet to store a lot of your bitcoin. maybe you can use authentication like smsverify or google auth

Thank you for your all advices! I am very appreciated.
After your recommendations, I decide to use Electrum since I am the guy who uses laptop everyday and I am not fullly-trusted in online wallet. But I also make alternative online wallet for my exchanges.

Thank you.

SPV wallet such as electrum is really secure for you.

Go to the service section and find the correct job for you. or try to mine altcoin and sell them for bitcoin or mine the bitcoin for directly.

desktop wallet will be very safe. but the problem is in the flexibility of using the wallet. you must constantly bring your laptop if you want to use the wallet and transaction. different from using an online wallet

The convination of owning a full node + a couple of paper wallets as backups is the best option in my book.

So get bitcoin core 0.13.2 or whatever version is the latest when you read this message, and make some wallet.dat backups, and some paper wallet backups, that is for long term storage.

Why do you need to install the core if he is planning to store coins.You do not need a full node for storing coins and since he is a new user it would be wise for him to start using web wallets and then start with a light weight wallet rather than advising bitcoin core. Cheesy

If you are planning to store a large amount of coins then paper wallet is a good option. You can also check out hardware wallets which is available in the market.

Xapo or Coinbase are good wallets.

I don't agree because Xapo, Coinbase blockchain.info and all web wallets even they claim that are secure the bitcoin owner does not really has the control of his bitcoin because he doesn't own the private keys. All of these are very easy and handy especially for newbies and for a bitcoin fraction but a desktop solution or a hardware wallet is the most indicated solution.

If you want to spend your bitcoins, you can choose Xapo or other web wallets that can give you debit card. Xapo has a dedicated card that is linked to the web wallet and you can spend your bitcoins easily, like if you are using your normal bank card in shops or you can withdraw cash from ATMs (but it's a bit pricey, shopping is free on POS terminals)
Because XAPO doesn't provide you the private key, you should keep the most of your coins in a paper or hardware wallet and only transfer a little bit of them into the XAPO wallet to spend.
You can find other wallets that offers debit card but don't choose prepaid type cards because it's not convinient to use them on the long run.

First, hello to bitcoin community,
There is many secure web wallet in the internet, Personally i prefer xapo and blockchain, Xapo because is really secure and there is no fees for transferring bitcoin, Also you can buy bitcoin from it. blockchain because it's one of the first wallet of bitcoins. It's more secure too.
So, To make money, you should have some skills, or offer some services here.
I advice you to learn something like coding, developpement and Trading which it's a good domain for getting a profit. There is signature campaigns which they pay well by improve yourself here by posting.
Good luck

It was a very nice advice that you gave in this forum. I agreed with you that there are many wallet that can be trusted where we can storage our bitcoin. Just wanna ask, isn't Xapo has a similarity in coinbase? Correct me if I'm wrong, though I heard to others it is good to use xapo also. But I am very curious about you said there is no fees I like that anyway,

The better is still Bitcoin Core. This is the wallet that offers the greatest security when it is used properly, so as long as you can, use it !

Hackers please hack me .... if you can :)

I will try to divide it down to the shortest and easiest possible way. For this I am considering you own an Android phone (who doesn't nowadays except Apple fan boys).

1. Install Electrum for Android. Keep the 12 words of the SEED secure in a protected document in your PC (You need to install Electrum on Android when you are in front of your PC to store the 12 words SEED in a protected document). Set also a pin for making transactions, Electrum wallet for Android will ask you for it.
With such wallet at your disposal (which for me is one of the best ) you can use it whenever you are without worrying too much.

I suggest you keep only the necessary amount you need to spend here and there.

2. Buy a hardware wallet when the time will come for you to hold and store many bitcoins. For the moment focus on point 1 of my answer.
