You will get a very opinionated answer as you question is also vague. Best Bitcoin Wallet in terms of what? Security or Accessibility? But even if you specify on what its best at you will have different answers. My advice is if people are mentioning wallets apps and hardware wallets in your thread do the liberty of researching it in your own, I always look for certain wallet apps and you will see various reddit pages for their respective walllets and Redditors will give you an honest feedback about the certain wallet if it is any good for you.

Everyone has to decide this by himself. I prefer to use light clients, especially electrum. It's easy to use, you can sign offline transactions and you need only to backup your seed.

Cryptocompare has a good comparison overview.

Best and most secured wallets are cold storage wallets, my personal favorite is the ledger nano s

"Best" right now would be a cold wallet. Next I believe would be blockchain.info

Electrum Bitcoin Wallet

Electrum if you don't aford a trezor or nano ledger .

The best bitcoin wallet is coinbase because coinbase can protect your wallet from hackers by your phone number and 2FA authenticator 

Hello hack4love,

It really depends on the features you are looking for in a wallet but usually we recommend our customers to use a hardware wallet in combination with a community-backed software wallet. In this case that would be the Ledger or Trezor in combination with an Electrum wallet.

The official website for Trezor can be found here (https://trezor.io/).
The official website to buy a Ledger can be found here (https://www.ledgerwallet.com/).
The Electrum software wallet can be downloaded here (https://electrum.org/).

If your BTC investment isn't high enough to justify the buying of a hardware wallet we recommend still sticking to the official Electrum or BTC core wallet.

With kind regards,
The Anycoin Direct team

No. Any wallet that you don’t control the private keys to could never be considered best.

There's no assurance that coinbase will ever protect your funds if ever they will be hacked.

You may have the 2FA protection before logging in / cashing out but once there were incidents like hacking, you can't lean on that security. It only protects you from someone logging in and taking out your funds through your account but if the hackers got in through the exchange's back panel that security is weak.

i want the safe wallet  not hardware  i will put 1 btc in it

What do you mean? Do you think hardware wallet is not safe or what?

Hardware wallet is safer compared to the software-based wallet 'cause your private key would never get exposed.

yah i know i want something free

If you're looking to only store bitcoin, you can go with a single currency wallet like BTC Core...the benefit of this type would be that they focus on the one coin and keep the software up to date.
Otherwise, you can go with something that is known to be secure like Trezor or Ledger Nano which can hold several currencies, but this is an option that's better suited if you want to hold funds long term.
We have a pretty extensive guide on wallets that might be useful to you:

Hope this helps!

I use paper wallet, and coinbase. Coinbase is easy to use.

So many different options, I found that it's best to have a wallet in the browser for example MetaMask is very suitable for its application

im using Ledger Nano, looks like its the best solution nowadays.
But other online wallets with 2FA is fine too

If you are just starting with crypto, I suggest either Jaxx, or Exodus, or Blockchain.com

Electrum is the best choice, i Keep all my bitcoin on a password protected USB with portable Electrum.  You also have other choices such as Trezor wallet which is a great choice.

Only electrum from your list, blockchain.info wallet is not secure. Every online wallet is less secure than software one.
I would bet on electrum.

1- any hardware wallet; 2- any software wallet; 3- any online wallet. Differences are not of significant importance, unless you have some specific demands.

If you one Bitcoin, you should buy hard wallet like Ledger Nano, it's best option for you, other online wallets are for people who doesn't have enough money to buy hard wallet.

Wow, you wanna keep 1 whole BTC in something free. ::)

If you don't wanna buy Trezor or Ledger, I'd suggest you to simply have a paper wallet. Disconnect from all networks, generate a paper wallet locally and print it out. That way, it'll be secure + free.

electrum is my choice

For holding bitcoin desktop wallet is best. I suggest you to use Electrum wallet for it. here is the official Electrum site link https://electrum.org/ This wallet is called a cold storage wallet.
