just as safe as keeping the bitcoin in your bank.  you could do that but what would be the point?  bitcoin is meant to be in sole control by its owner and not a third party.  that is where it's magic comes from.

You should read the post above yours about blockchain. Blockchain is no better than any other wallet and the worst bitcoin wallet since it has been reported many times that it can be easily hacked. It is much better if you control your own wallet instead of using a 3rd party web wallet provider

There isn't any problem using blockchain as other web wallets for only 0.01 btc (if its hacked you only will loose 0.01 btc, i supose that you can afford this loose). But i recomend not using it to save 20 btc, its a large amount of money. Online wallets or exchanges can be hacked, and you could loose your bitcoins. You can ask your friends about hardware wallets, or paper wallets.

I tend to agree on this. More then .5 BTC on a webwallet is quite risky. Only store it there if you can afford to lose it.
Else use your own wallet.

Anything over 1 BTC is dangerous. When i stepped into bitcoin I learned to never have 1 btc over at a wallet
or an exchange. They can run away with your bitcoins.

blockchain is the safest onlone wallet i think but it will be better if you keep your btc on a hadware wallet or have a very complicated password for your blockchain wallet and try to keep it safe

Is that safe to have in Blockchain.info more than 10 BTC ?  
No worries ?

If you talking about online wallet it's totally wrong place stored big money and not safe.
Online wallet is a dangerous place to store big amount bitcoin. Because some plugin on your browser have a malicious ware that designed to steal all your online data.
Never stored your coins online unless for small only.

I only use blockchain.info as pass-through-wallet.

I've long since moved to blocktrail.com as hotwallet and use electrum as cold storage.

To answer your question, I'd never hold more than 0.10 btc in blockchain.info or more than 1 btc in a decent hot wallet

There could be worries in everything,even the disk's can collapse if you are unlucky.I have seen people storing 200+ coins on blockchain wallet but i myself haven't used it for long term or as a cold storage.I don't think keeping 10 bitcoins will be problematic unless you lose the password.

Why would you hold that much on an online wallet?

If you're not going to use it and it's just going to sit there, it's best to take it off from there

Transfer it over to a safer place like a desktop or trezor.

I would not dare it.
Buy a trezor or even better sent them to your own wallet and make sure you have a difficult password to encrypt your wallet.

Having it stored online, is just waiting for problems.

Personally I feel safe with blockchain.info wallet and actually I store most of my coins right now there (its not more than 10 btc and not even close to it though Cheesy ). I think it is safe as long as you back up your wallet and keep the private key of the addresses. Also stay vigilant with the phishing links and malwares spreading on the net to be more secure.

Like electrum or bitcoin core that you can handle it in your pc or laptop safety..

I don't know why so many are recommending blockchain .info. There were all kinds of problems last year. I'm sure a forum search would bring them all up. It's ok for noobs getting started with a small amount of bitcoin but not for safely storing 10.

The best bet would be a spare computer, freshly formatted. Install Electrum and transfer the coins to it. Keep the machine off line except for the occasional sync.  Or ... like others have mentioned ... a hardware wallet.

There is nothing safe even with 2fa you could still be hacked. If you are really looking to store your btc for over 10 btc then use a cold wallet instead unless you are planning to regularly spend that 10 btc back and forth then use hot wallet instead but obviously dont use blockchain.info but rather a desktop wallet

I think it is very risky, both from hackers or that sites
online wallet is not recommended right to save a lot of money, even though the site was very reliable wallet, still was at risk,

better wear wallet offline..
