Each wallet has an advantage of it's own IMO, I am using blockchain for fast transactions and multibit for saving bitcoins in my device.

Well I hold multiple wallets for several purposes.
A trading wallet
A savings wallet
A wallet for spendings and deposits

It's not very much, but it makes things easier to track.
I think you do not need to make a lot of wallets. for a specific function. you can directly use another address in one wallet. and add information in the address. it will be easier and simpler

but save in a few wallet was better and to avoid losing in one day when you are there at one bitcoin wallet. at least not lose everything.

I wonder about that as well, I seen people using 5 or 6 PC wallets and I think just one would do... Also seen people with thousands of addresses although 3-4 should be enough.

Everyone finds something they like with each wallet and I think it is fine to use multiple wallets if you find good things with each wallet. Wallets have specific advantages for each...

these days lots of people get interested in hacking and try to steal others bitcoins. So to be on the safer
side people prefer various online and offline wallets which makes them feel their bitcoins are really safe.

I think even though we have many bitcoin wallet if it is stolen coin is there still be taken and can not go back. Maybe we have to be careful to keep bitcoin to be safe. And I think some of the bitcoin wallet already have good security.

The reason behind using more than one wallet is diversification which may save someone from loosing all his/her bitcoin.

It's a wise idea and it's always better to to use at least 3 wallets where the amount can be divided and kept safe. So if one wallet become scam, that person will be able to survive some of its coin.

I myself use one desktop wallet and two online wallets.

Why did you make that much bitcoin wallet? Does every bitcoin wallet will store income from a different place or what?

According to my store bitcoin in many places does not affect anything for security.

it's too much. there will be no wallet hack into your account if you use a lot of security. useless to use a lot of wallets. but no authentication

Guys wallets are using in more numbers because People use to work in many kind bitcoin works like trading, lending, account selling and more. So want that to be anonymous way. This is the exact reason.

Yes, lot of wallets (some times address) may end up in mess. Practical approach must be, use one or two wallet types for some time like 3 or 6 months. Then make them cold storage and move to different wallet type.
These all for the bitcoiners who want to save bitcoins for years.

Luckily I am already doing that, but not intentionally. I love trying new wallets but when moves to new one I back up old one and put in offline. I still in search of features rich wallet which makes me trying out new wallets.

I think using many bitcoin wallets is for security and if you had 1 wallet only has disadvantage
 ex. When you only have 1 wallet and  got hack and all your funds are there so there will no left  for you instead if you  have 2 or 3 more wallets you can divide your funds in there

Actually the ppl who use most bitcoin address is the exchanges, bitcoin startups who always creates new address for deposits,  then transfer out the deposits.

First of all, I am very thankful for everyone spamming on this topic as now there is a lot of posts on here and I am very proud of myself for this achievement. There can be a huge wallet hack and even if you have good security, you might lose everything.

It is very good to use. And it is also very safe and secure and I think that is the most important. That it must be very safe.
Some people around me dont even trust Bitcoin and that is the problem. I hope that more people will use it later in the future.
