Bank or Bitcoin Wallet?

[ranlo]

Bitcoin wallet. I use blockchain.info

It's pretty good one in online wallets. Blockchain.info is good to check all the details of all block and all transactions.
If you start to go big deal and transaction desktop is fine. example multibit or electrum.

If you 'start to go big,' you want a hardware wallet, hands down. I'd say the $1k mark is when you should already have one.

Still bank because Bitcoin is not as secure as bank. Might change my view later when there come more secure hardware wallet.

what do you think about xapo vault..? coinbase vault..?
Im sure it's more safe than bank, im use it, you need 48hours to release your bitcoin after withdraw request.

I trust xapo, but still it is a virtual savings, it much better to put your money into true bank and you can check it daily. Bank is the safest wallet of all savings, it is covered by the government law and it is more applicable when it is regarding to money.

IMO banks are slow when it comes to sending and receiving payments from one bank to the other. if you send or receive money from and to the same bank, then it's instantly. but i will always choose offline storage over a bank when it comes to bitcoin which is a clear advantage.

I don't know much about coinbase, but I am fully agreed with you about xapo. xapo's vault is fully secured and insured, if in case our account got hacked and vault balance have been stolen, then xapo is fully responsible to pay us as we claim insurance.

The same governement that covered some deposits at an xx ammount usuall around 100k dollars each account is secured,but i had seen cases that there is no warranty of this kind of things;I would use and deposit my money just into bitcoin wallets as i feel much more safety and able to control my own money that isnt deducted all months a fee .

Not only slow, they charge you for it. What i really hate is that most banks (my bank included) hold your money. Suppose you need to sent 10k to someone, I first need to call them to upgrade my limit. Which is how things work in a madman world right? So for me offcourse the bitcoin wallet.

Yeah you need to follow so many rules and regulations and follow their procedures but when it comes to bitcoin you have all the freedom to spend your money.

Weird. I've never been charged OR limited on sending before. You need a better bank.

i would choose to use bitcoin wallet

i would choose to use bitcoin wallet

I think we have to use both wallet and banking services, especially nowadays we need bank accounts to pay some bills or make some payments we can't use Bitcoin to pay it as it's not supported everywhere till now at least

[nejibens]

I use Bitcoin wallet more than banks, but i use banking services sometimes as well
Bitcoin isn't supported everywhere as known

If BTC were accepted everywhere, it would be regulated prior. This regulation would make BTC no different from current ACH methods, and would kill the entire purpose of using it.

BTC would be regulated if the people were to let it be regulated. This means that various things would have to happen, but arguably there would be no way for Bitcoin to ever be officially be regulated if it was the primary currency and the people had enough trust in it.

It won't be the 'primary currency.' It's a niche thing. People don't even trust gold, which is physical and can be held in your hand, PLUS has uses outside of monetary storage. Pass one hurdle at a time.

Of course Bitcoin Wallet, in my country very few people pay bills via banks. I only use bank to buy something online at ebay or amazon, unfortunately Bitcoin is not yet adopted there as payment option, otherwise I would not need banks at all(of course just need them to  buy btc via payment processors)
