After all some suggested "best" bitcoin wallet here, I think newcomers will now have an idea on what will they choose.
More importantly, the best bitcoin wallet is YOU. Learn all the safety guidelines to make your bitcoin wallet (especially of course, your beloved bitcoins) safe.

BlockChain is the best BTC wallet.
I would disagree here. Despite their past and present problems I would not use. It is ok maybe to use for smaller payments and online wallet but to use as a main I would no use it. Am so in love with bither provides online offline vanitygen custom address and used on many platforms. Used others that have been spoke of in here but find them to be a nightmare if something goes wrong. I like simple and effective. You can't depend on online wallet (blockchain) too much. As we know that blockchain having many issue recently. Many will face problem because of this issue like can't pay loan or purchase goods etc. I'm also recommend to make offline wallet to back up your online wallet's balance so you still can operate your blockchain's fund even they have problem |

Not specific question, what a good point is here? Whether from the security, appearance, speed, features, etc.

I have all my wallets all saved backed up and keys and wallet.dat secured and stored if in case problems do arise and have a back up plan in the event of something bad happening. |

after trying electrum I will never use another! easy setup with a long pass phrase you save that can get your wallet back if computer dies.
Super fast sync up and going in minutes.
multibit is good wallet, Im use it too  but i need wallet where i can use it everywhere, now im use mycellium wallet also i use xapo for small transaction |

What is the best bitcoin wallet?
it really depends on what you are planning on doing with the bitcoin: if you are new to bitcoin and dont really know much about wallets and how they work: go to coinbase.com if you just want to store it and dont plan on spending anytime soon : get a paper wallet from bitaddress.org if you plan on doing alot of transactions everyday to multiple users: get electrum wallet for pc if you spend and receive money occasionally : get mycelium for android, (if you have an apple device: get bither) |

security is not important in the sense that you need a cold storage anyway, so any good wallet it's okish, appearance also not important at all core is not fast enough but it has everything you need, you can anyway store a backup of the blockchain to sync instantly |

Personally, I enjoy using Electrum as the block chain is kept on the database for the wallets, and does not need to download the full chain onto your computer and rather is managed electronically. Not to mention that your Electrum wallet is tied to a secret chain of words so that not only can you operate your wallet on multiple systems while having them all synced together as they are all connecting to the same wallet data, let's say that you encrypt your wallet and then months down the road forget your encryption code, you can restore your wallet from that original secret chain of words and the encryption is removed..  |

Even the best software wallet can be compromised if someone will gain access to your machine. That is I think bitcoin security is not about installing the 'best wallet' but rather how you manage your coins yourself.
Don't blindly believe that there are some better wallet which will do awesome stuff even if you fail at keeping your machine safe.

This is the best advice IMHO... Even, I don't prefer these online wallets, not even desktop ones, I preferably go for offline wallets and even paper wallets so as to keep my coins safely and use them based on my convenience... |

The best bitcoin wallet for me is the one that gives you the access to your private keys and have 2 factors authentication system so the change to be hacked is very low

What is the best bitcoin wallet?
For hardware wallets I have a Ledger and Trevor and like them both equally. For online to hold dust it is blockchain.info. The best of them all to me was/is paper wallet laminated. |

For people using mobile wallet treat it as a hot wallet. And even more so if rooted/jailbroken. Make sure not to store lots of coins on it. It is more for small immediate spending. Cold storage like paper or others are much better long term. Espically if were talking about big amounts of BTC. |
