Go for official Blockchain wallet. I prefer it to coinbase for several reasons. As for investing, do you wish for investing in pools or by trading crypto-currencies? There are many exchanges that have an in-built wallet for transactions. You can also safely store money in gambling websites that are trusted. Good Luck.

Well, im using xapo wallet and mycelium right now. They working fine since i used them and doesnt encounter any errors. But i recommending these for small amount of bitcoins only. Every online wallets cannot give you full access to your private keys which making you feel uncomfortable. And i recommend to use multiple wallet just incase the other one has problem. Online wallet doesnt give you maximum security because they can be also turn into scam anytime.

Go on with hardware or desktop wallets instead and only use online wallet to take advantage of their services. Any online wallets are not recommended for storage purposes since they are prone to fraud and that is possible even for a reputable exchange.

But it doesn't mean you don't have to use them. Im just pointing out that you may use their services but refrain from storing too much coins on any kinds of exchange wallet.

If your goal of investment is meant for trading, then you must know first the risk of storing big coins at exchange site.

roger that, my idea was just using them for some fast transactions and only for limited time. but any further warmig will be more than welcome

In my own experience i am still not experience of any issue i use electrum i already tried to use coinbase and xapo honestly for me i am halving some issue like pending that it takes long time before they can fix it and xapo never open my account because of halving issue to retype the confirmation code even i change my password until now i can not open my wallet in xapo.. so the only wallet that i can refer you is electrum.. good desktop wallet..

I think the best is to store the most BTC you don't need immediatiately on a wallet like bitcoin core. You can Always let small amount on an online wallet like blockchain.info. I have used that one recently and the transactions went very fast. These are two wallets i prefer at this moment.

My opinion? Well it is not safe an pretty much inconvinient from me. I don't use online wallets where I have no full control of my wallet so only blockchain has my interest ever since. Tho I don't use blockchain as well. I only use Mycelium as my main wallet with a couple of backups and exchange wallet for my daily use to save me from transaction fees.

[gribble]

I think use mycelium is more better than online wallet because, it is cheap fees when sending bitcoin if be compared with Blockchain.info, and it can be used on smartphone so you can control the bitcoins on hand, it is simple than must use PC or laptop.
There is good feature for sign massages on your phone and the essentials it is safe in my experience, but everything depend on you what kinds of wallets that suitable for you.

this is a nice feature, good to know, thanks! are you using i under android or ios?

I like most Blockchain.info. After using it for more than 1 year, I can say their service is very good and legit. Despite other people words, people aren't scammed there all the time and for unknown reasons. There are safety procediments to make the account safer against hacker's attacks. And it works very well. Make your account safe and you will be 99% safe (I wouldn't risk say 100%, different things can happen in different kinds of wallets).

There is an another interesting option, you can earn income by store your BTCs on this wallet: https://haobtc.com/ Never tried, just was checking about it on another thread. More than 2 years alive, this chinese wallet can give you some satoshis income. Very low, but if you want to keep your money stored in a wallet, better than nothing...

i guess every tool can be used with good sense... i'll have a look to your link, thanks!

The blockchain is indeed a good wallet and its also online and already on the run for a long time what makes them also more trust able.

[Pursuer]

choose a desktop wallet instead where you have total control over everything instead of relying on a third party website as your bitcoin wallet. better yet learn more about cold storage and set one up for yourself for the maximum security.

if you insist on using a web wallet then use blockchain.info since they give most of the control to you and they don't save unencrypted private keys on their servers. or use coinbase if you are looking for an easier wallet to use and buy bitcoin at the same place.

[rancidgash]

In my opinion the best online wallet is Coinbase. They have some restrictions, so is good to read carefully their ToS.
But many serious sources writes about them only positive things:
http://www.wsj.com/articles/coinbase-raises-75-million-in-funding-round-1421762403
https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2014-09-30/coinbase-leads-move-to-bring-bitcoin-to-masses

But of course online wallet never will be good enough to store your coins. Always desktop wallet will be better for that

Since op is looking for the best online bitcoin wallet then I third the motion that blockchain.info has what it takes to be the best online wallet.

But still there are some good online wallets out there and there are variety of them depending on how you are comfortable to use them.

I'm comfortable using blockchain and I don't have any problem with it, just also a reminder you may use some exchange wallet but don't let your bitcoins stored there.

[MEYUKI]

If you were willing to pay for your transaction fees anyway, then why not use a good trusted desktop wallet instead of blockchain.info? You'd have full control of your coins/wallet, wouldn't have to abide/watch out for their TOS, and it's also pretty easy to use. I would recommend Electrum, it's easy to understand and work with even for beginners. Or if you wish to use your mobile, there's Mycelium.(Android)

If, you were looking for wallets that pay for your fees however, there's Coinbase and Xapo. You won't have to worry about your fees and so far, the transactions I've had there confirmed pretty fast. Do remember though that THEY would have control of your coins/wallets and you HAVE to follow all their rules/TOS or you'd have your account frozen. Dealing with support could take days or even weeks, so. Up to you.
