Bitcoin Forum

Hello as the Subject implicates, I would like to know which is the best online BTC in order to store my BTCs. I know some software wallets like Electrum but I would like to have an online in order to access it from anywhere.

My main question would be: do you really NEED to be able to spend your btc from ANYWHERE...
Online wallet are the worst wallets around security-wise... I wouldn't recommand a single one, but if you really insist, I'd probably say that blockchain.info is the "best" insecure online wallet.

Want my advice? Store the bulk of your btc using a secure wallet, and use a cellphone wallet to store some easy-accessible spending money

I think there is not best one because they are all bad wallets, storing bitcoin in such wallet is nonsense and really not safe.

I will assume you already know the risks of using online wallet so I will not go through for warning and security about it.

But if the purpose is only to access from anywhere then use mobile app instead e.g Mycelium, Coinomi, Bitgo etc. There is no assurance that you will be safe at these all the time but it's way better than using exchange app.

There are also exchanges which have a mobile version of their platform. Again if you understand the risks of using it, then it's up to you if you will used them. What are those? Will not mentioned as we aren't sure if you will have a good experienced using them.

We have a Cryptopedia that details the different advantages and disadvantages of each type of wallet and the most popular choices for each type.

Check it out here: https://midcrypto.com/pages/cryptopedia (https://midcrypto.com/pages/cryptopedia)

using electrum mobile app should fit your needs, unless you don't have a mobile device
if you insist using online wallet, blockchain.info (now .com) might be the option
it's the most wide use web/online wallet and they also actually have mobile app
you should understand risks and consequences before using any wallets, specially online wallets

I personally don't like to recommend online wallets to store bitcoin. But if you need an online wallet, I can recommend Blockchain (https://www.blockchain.com/wallet) and Coinbase (https://www.coinbase.com/) has good security better than other online wallets.

For me https://www.blockchain.com is the best online Bitcoin wallet. I have used it 2 years and i'm still using it now, i haven't met any problems while using it yet. Create online BTC wallet on https://www.blockchain.com is free and transaction fee is also low. You should try.

I have no issues with blockchain.com wallet as well but it also depends on how you want to use it.

If you want to store your bitcoin for a very long time, I don't think that's a good idea just to leave your bitcoin on that wallet.

Did you considered using greenaddress.it?

Online wallets are not advisable but if you insist because of some reasons known to you,  I'll suggest you keep it on Blockchain wallet or simply keep with the exchange wallet you will be trading with.

First of all, dont store bitcoins online. Store it in software wallet on your PC (not on mobile phone).
Its safest place you can get aside from hardware wallets. Maybe you can consider also paper wallet.

From online wallet i would recommend blockchain.info / com . I would never do that before because they failed couple times in the past, but in past year i didnt hear anything bad about them.

As everybody already said, storing Bitcoin online is unsafe.
So, using online wallet makes sense only for small amounts.
Now, depends how you achieve your Bitcoins. If you bought them for fiat or got them from exchanging some altcoins, it could be an idea to just keep those Bitcoins at the service you already have them so you don't pay extra transaction fees, especially if you plan to achieve more.
Also it depends on how you spend. If you want to spend often, find a wallet with low fees. If you don't want to spend at all, securely generating paper wallet and storing your Bitcoin there is a pretty good option too.\


And since you wrote that you want to access "anywhere", one option better than online wallet could be a mobile wallet, since your phone is also always with you. But this is a subject others explained already well enough.

Sorry my friend but i Will not do that.
I cant on good spirit recomend that.
Online wallet its not safe.
Exchange wallet, the same. They can get hacked, shutdwon etc.
Please use an safe wallet like electrum or similar.
Good luck

Coinbase is one of the easiest ways to buy, sell and own electronic money, earning the first place on this list. With Coinbase, you can connect to a bank account in the United States and easily transfer money to or from your wallet. You can use these dollars, or convert the new dollars, to buy and sell. In addition to Bitcoin, Coinbase also supports Bitcoin Cash, Ethereum, and Litecoin. There are ongoing rumors of other currencies as ripples get support from Coinbase.

You can store your bitcoin in coinbase wallet because it is secured and you can access to it from anywhere

My choise is Blockchain. Because firstly I use blockchain and then I use coinbase. Coinbase is one of the most popular btc wallet.

quite good:

• Copay
• Ledger Nano
• TREZOR
• OPENDIME

I don't know

OP never answered what exactly he/she wants or, more precisely, really needs. It all depends on what you wanna do. Imo there is no "best" wallet. There are only wallets that are best to use in a certain situation. Factors like security, convenience, speed, reliability etc. all have to been taken into account. So without knowing the personal preferences or the use case, there really is no good answer.

This is where it goes wrong. Coinbase is not a wallet. It's a centralized exchange.

If you have your funds in coinbase, you don't actually own it, since you don't control the private keys. It really destroys the entire purpose of crypto to keep your funds there..


3/4 of the wallets you listed are hardware wallets, not online wallets..

If you really want to use an online wallet, use something like blockchain.info, but really, you're missing out on a lot of features/security if you do. As others mentioned, bitcoin core / electrum are much better options.

Bitcoin.com wallet. I use this because its fee is very small.....

It seems like you don't really understand how bitcoin works.. Wallets themselves don't determine the fee you pay for a transaction. The network and ultimately you do.

Their fee being low has absolutely nothing to do with their service/wallet (unless they are consolidating inputs like many faucet sites do, in which case you should avoid them completely, ( since they're in possesion of your private keys.))

I don't think ANY decent wallet still charges a fee... Multibit used to charge a small fee per transaction, but that wallet has been obsolete for a while now.

You're talking about cheaping out on the MINERS fee, the fee you add to guve an incentive to a miner to add your transaction to the block he/she is trying to solve. You might get away with cheaping out on your fees at this moment, but sooner or later you'll be faced with "stuck" transactions, and you'll be opening threads on this forum or bribing miners in order to fix the mess you caused by wanting to save a couple of cents.

Just start paying the RIGHT fee instead of going for a wallet that underestimates or overestimates fees.

Edit: just saw adolfinwolf already gave a similar answer while I was typing, still decides to post my reply since it gives a slightly different perspective

I use Coinbase as my online wallet.  It’s one of the best ones out there and is fdic insured. 

Even though you control the private keys on blockchain.info or greenaddress.it, you still have to trust their websites and servers. This could expose you to MITM attacks. Not safe for storing lots of coin.

The above options are still better than an exchange, though. Blockchain.info has better UI, but greenaddress.it has more useful features (like Segwit) and security settings.

I always use an online wallet called indodax ... because I don't know the hardware wallet ... can anyone give me a hardware wallet

One of the pioneer and best wallet is blockchain.info . I have never had an issue with it. They also keep on developing the wallet from time to time.

Online Coinbase may be the best in terms of reputation, security, and privacy Coinbase is an online service, users can exchange the purchase BTC, Ethereum, Litecoin ...

My friends advise reserving all in the hot wallet. It will be much better and more secure.

If you scare that online wallet is not safe, you could use hardware wallet, best hardware wallet now are Ledger Nano and TREZOR.

In crypto world there are many online wallet you can use it for safety
But in my opinion I like to use coinbase wallet it's good for all user and its safe

I see many good wallet come in online and they all are good 
I like to use coinbase it's safe for me I use it for  put bitcoin

It is former blockchain.info and now its blockchain.com.

I never had issues with them as well but I migrated using another wallet.

Are you putting too much bitcoin on coinbase? just a piece of advice.

Don't be so confident storing all of your bitcoins there.

If you have many BTC, don't use online BTC wallet,use hardware wallet is safer

In my opinion blockchain dot info is the best online wallet for Bitcoin. I personally use this and I like this wallet because its UI is simple and it has Android app too.

U should buy TREZOR, the best wallet  ::)

Bitcoin online wallet is a programme for sending and receiving bitcoins. A bitcoin wallet does that by interacting with bitcoin's ledger, known as the blockchain. The best online bitcoin wallet Coinbase. Because of Coinbase wallet, the company controls your bitcoin and you must trust that they keep your coin secure. Bitcoin wallet programme is available for mobile phones, desktops, and even as a standalone piece of hardware. However, I think Coinbase barring Trezor, Electrum, Blockchain info is the best online bitcoin wallet.

I use Coinbase.  It’s fdic insured and I feel it is the best one right now for me. 

FDIC insurance only covers your USD balance on Coinbase. Also, I think it only extends to United States residents (https://support.coinbase.com/customer/portal/articles/1662379-how-is-coinbase-insured-):


They have insurance on their online hot wallets, but not their offline storage, which is >98% of cryptocurrency they hold. If their cold storage gets compromised, they could easily become insolvent. Then you'll only get a fraction of your coins back through the bankruptcy process -- just ask Mt Gox victims.

You should get a real wallet like Bitcoin Core or Electrum. If you have to, use an actual online wallet (not an exchange) that gives you control of your private keys, like GreenAddress.

You can choose the Blockchain service, another option is Coinbase. Online wallets allow you to access your encrypted money anytime, anywhere, on any device. The security level of this wallet is just moderate, using an online wallet, meaning you have to rely on third-party support. If your trading platform is hacked and you lose money, your money will no longer. If the trading platform is attacked by DDOS or the access is overloaded, you will not be able to access your funds.

I want to know too, I am currently store my bitcoin on exchange, but since the amount is not that large,I think it is fine for me. If the amount is large, I think it is more suitable to store them in hard wallet.

Coinbase is one of the easiest ways to buy, sell and hold cryptocurrencies, which earns it the first spot on this list. In addition to Bitcoin, Coinbase currently supports Bitcoin Cash, Ethereum and Litecoin. There are constant rumors of additional currencies like Ripple getting support from Coinbase as well.

Coinbase is not a wallet at all.its an exchange site. but you can store your coin here. I am also a coinbase user but I never use coinbase as a wallet.No key no coin.so try to use the wallet that provides a key for your coin. I would recommend using Blockchain wallet. From here you can open a blockchain wallet: https://login.blockchain.com/#/signup you can download from apple app store https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/blockchain-bitcoin-wallet/id493253309?mt=8 and google play store https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=piuk.blockchain.android

I think this topic response will really help you and I but you need to carry out some research on your own to know somethings not just by asking. To my observation I learnt that the hardware wallet such as ledger  📒 is more safer to save our cryptocurrencies though its expensive but with it you have nothing to worry about as your funds will be safe with full assurance.

surely the best is blockchain.info, this is one of the oldest and secure, such as it possible for an online wallet. but secure wallet doesn't mean that you don`t need to care about privacy, don`t add add-ons on the browser, check your pc on Trojans, filter phishing links
