People use many bitcoin wallet for safe.
IF you use only a wallet is a risk to lose your bitcoin.

Yeah, there are chances that you might forget the password or your laptop gets damaged and you don't have a back up of that particular wallet which would result in loosing all your bitcoins.

its good to have different wallets because it increases our chances to raise our income and earning with profitablitiy and has more growth while having more wallets. I would suggest the same for every one.

I think we already covered this question. It is for the anonymity.

People use many different wallets and addresses for privacy, people don't want to get tagged to one address, it makes you less anonymous, every few months or so i change my main addresses (but I keep the private keys from the old ones so I can sign a message if the need arises).
I think not. If you never give your addresses to anyone with your true identity, you will remain anonymous, since no name address listed,
use a lot of wallets, I think not because anonymous

there is always a first time you bought bitcoin with money and if you have provided any kind of information then, you have no anonymity because it can be connected to your bank and then to you.

but i agree that using multiple wallets is not for anonymity, he might mean using different addresses, not wallets. using different wallets is more because of different features that different wallets offer

yes sometimes with one address one's wallet will be easier to see their wealth. and it is a very great privacy.

Mabye because people want more security and safety by having many wallets. For me i only have 2 wallets, 1 for receiving money and 1 wallet for gambling, so i seperate it.

I think people use multiple wallets only to diversify the risks, and it is a good move to make, even if one wallet is damaged or hacked by the scammers, the savings in other wallet would be intact, and you don't loose everything.
How if all wallet hacked ?? Its possible look now hacker its very good to hacked anything.
stupid people to make same addres to another wallet

It's simple, because it is for their own extra security and for trading and some other stuff. I myself use 5 accounts for storing my BTC and 2 other accounts for trading.

Use of many bitcoin wallets is just to have the hardly earned bitcoins very secure. Use of many bitcoin wallets help place large volume of bitcoin saved by splitting into smaller units. So that if something goes wrong whole effort won't get into tragedy.

Well, I think its totally dumb to use too many wallets.You can use one for your regular daily transactions and one for your savings maybe or your urgent deposits.But again ,your wallets like blockchain gives options to have a different address to receive bitcoins if you want so don't really need to change accounts or create a new wallet at all.

I think people are afraid of scammers and they want to protect their bitcoins, so they are using multiple wallets, so even if one wallet is damaged or hacked the rest of bitcoins are safe in other wallets.

My use is:   a couple spending wallets, one on each box and on mobiles when necessary, another medium sized wallet for refreshing the spending wallets, kept in reasonable state of offline-ness. Cold storages I don't touch more than annually.
