yes you should. based on my personal experience, I recommend Electrum for desktop and mycelium for android and paper one for long term storage. using web wallet is not smart at all and there are numerous threads of hack etc..

I would recommend electrum, it has a lot to work with and pretty easy to export your seed and setup in a new pc if is needed also cold storage.

blockchain.info is okay for the everyday use but please dont store large amounts in there. cold storage <- hardware wallet: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=899253.0

If you import the key from another wallet, you have to back it up separately at another file. However, when you setup, you should have a screen which tells you 13 words that is the seeds which generates the future Bitcoin addresses and you should copy that down. If you want to use the address which you had in Blockchain.info, you have to select the option "Restore a wallet or import keys".

no, electrum or multibit is ok for every day usage, I really don't see any point to use web wallets these days...any device, which can access web wallet had some application for its own platform. can you please explain, why you are recommending such non-sense like web wallet?

I would suggest running a full Bitcoin Core node for anything that constitutes your main stack. Unfortunately, I dont think I can trust the rest to keep my main stack over there.

I like Blockchain.info because my wallet is available on every device.

Electrum doesn't have an android app for users to access the wallet. I don't personally recommend blockchain.info nevertheless. Greenaddress.it would do the job just fine as you can easily carry a piece of paper containing encrypted menmoric on the go or save it in your email with no risk of it being compromised.

I access it from my phone, my tablet, my laptop, my desktop, and my computer at work. I have electrum on my laptop.
I bet, that except computer at work (where you had phone anyway), electrum or any other light client may be installed on all devices. it is your choice for sure, but using web wallet if you had so much options just because you are lazy is simply non-sense and basically doesn't matter, how much BTC you had stored here.. for android is quite tricky to use electrum, anyway you can use mycelium and import electrum address..

my advice to you (as the same thing i did): keep the blockchain.info wallet, it is an easy and fast way to send / receive bitcoin from anywhere. but move your majority of coins away from it. keep low amounts there. you can do two things as an alternative: either use a full node like core or armory if you don't have problem with the size. or use light wallets like Electrum for storage. and don't worry about your pc you only need to write down your seed on a piece of paper to be able to access the funds later if anything happens. also if you have like big amounts (>50, 100 BTC) and don't want to spend then soon, make a secure paper wallet.

Weak hands have been complaining about missing out ever since bitcoin was $1 and never buy the dip. Whales are those who keep buying the dip.

well if you are not happy with your current wallet, i can suggest you to use the bitcoinqt-core, yes you need some free HDD space, arround 50gb right now but from my point of view is the best wallet out there, i mean the best desktop wallet, there is others pretty good too like electrum for example but this is just up to you.
about mobile wallet mycelium is really good.

I have just tried it again, Myceilum (BIP39) isn't compatible with electrum's seed. You can import the private key but the change addresses used in electrum can't be found and you have to manually import them one by one. well if you are not happy with your current wallet, i can suggest you to use the bitcoinqt-core, yes you need some free HDD space, arround 50gb right now but from my point of view is the best wallet out there, i mean the best desktop wallet, there is others pretty good too like electrum for example but this is just up to you.

If you aren't using the features only available on Bitcoin Core, it would only be a waste. Electrum/multibit does its job well as a lightweight client and doesn't require much processing power to run.

I like Blockchain.info because my wallet is available on every device. Well i would suggest coinbase in this case, i can access them from many platforms. They have android app and you can check/send whatever you can do also from web wallet.
