Buying a hardware wallet can be good but I think that I would not use it a lot because I have some other wallets.
I also use online wallet so that is why..

I think that its also not worth it because its not very easily with payments, online wallets are better for payments.
On the other hand hardware wallets can be nice for large amounts maybe.

You could actually use both, especially if your kind of a person does have many transactions made online which web wallet does the edge on having this situation unlike on using hardware wallets but when you possess large amounts you could store it on hardware which is somehow safe compared to web wallets.

If you have a lot better using your bitcoin wallet itself to maintain the security

You need learning more about the hardware wallet, it's just like you're using the offline wallet but you can bring your wallet into everywhere you want. and you can synchronize the hardware wallet with an offline wallet like an electrum and that is the best combination.

It's good because it's portable, and it's also safe to have it. But even though it is safer than having your money saved in an online, web-browser based wallet, a paper wallet is still the safest option you can go for. I'm using them and it feels way better and safer than having to enter your credentials in different websites.

Yes I would buy hardware wallet if I have some huge amount of money in bitcoins. I don't have, but I was lucky enough to get one hardware wallet. It's from some prize, but I don't know how I got it or from where, I opened new thread for that, but without answers. I still don't know from whom I got it, just one day postman delivered it to me.
Well now I have good wallet and I don't plan to buy another one.

Hardware wallets are okay but I think a paper wallet is better, of course it can be useful for some deals or something in person.
You can than just hand over the bitcoins for cash or something like that.

Why buying hardware wallets if they only like to scamm you and rid your coins if you can store them on your local computer i can tell you that is many times saver than putting them on the internet wallets.

What is your idea about hardware wallets? and how they would scam you? It just no sense regarding on the things that you mentioned i supposed you are referring yo a web wallet instead. Yes you could able to store your bitcoin on you pc and much better to buy hardware wallets if you posses large amounts of bitcoin.

I think that buying a hardware wallet can be good sometimes if you want to travel with it or something so you can make a payment with it too someone on that way.
It can be a option but I do not recommend you one because it can also get stuck or something.

You are aware that if it get stuck you can :

Recover the btc to a wallet.
Reset the device and recover the wallet with seed.
Losing the device will not compromise your wallet.

We can say that a hardware robust wallet is essential for people holding an important amount of BTC.

There are many hardware wallets (I use KeepKey).

The market is open for new solutions, but you should innovate, maybe offering other altcoins than BTC (XMR / ETH / Lisk).

I dont like to put all of my coins into a wallet so i dont think i would buy a hardware wallet and that is just because i know how bad the security of the wallets are.

I disagree that the security of the bitcoin wallet providers online has bad security at all. Do you think blockchain has a bad security? I guess you are just putting out a statement without basis but I can't blame you if you think that online wallets does have poor security. For me, I won't go to buy hardware wallet it is just going to cost me another bucks.

You are right the blockchain as a example has a good security but it stays a online wallet, who knows what will happen.
With a paper wallet you are safe from hackers, a hardware wallet is okay but I would never buy it.

in my opinion it is more secure and easy to use blokchain wallet, I suggest enable all existing security to avoid incidents that we do not want

How could it ever be considered safer to store your bitcoins online than offline, i wish people would stop posting shit they know nothing about.
Newbies reading this may actually take your shit advice seriously and end up losing their coins to a hack.

Correct, this is somehow misleading especially to newbies out there and believing all of these things that are mostly answered here and that would possibly lead to a loss. Online and offline wallet do differ in security basis. I could say that offline wallets would be much better than online.

Just the entering with blockchain can be made very hard, but yes blockchain is a third party and when it comes to money or bitcoins it's much safer to store it offline by using a trezor hardware wallet then keeping it online for a third party to run away with your coins.

Yes for trezor, middle for offline wallet and not for the online wallet. but not all of the newbies know what is the hardware wallet, electrum and other, but they're always doing the familiar wallet site like blockchain without getting any advice. different with that we are able to make a continuous advice for newbies.

If it meant keeping my bitcoins safe, I would buy a hardware wallet since it's they are the safest wallets around. An alternative to hardware wallets would be a desktop wallet that you download on your desktop.

actually all of the ad program its slot only to the safest only blokchain in my opinion. and if you had a lot of bitcoin I recommend saving it in your own applications
