Simply NO, always save your coins in local wallet.
Of course local wallet are more safe then webwallet, but there's no way to access your funds when you are out of home For this you can have more than one wallet, you can use a cold wallet for your savings, a local wallet (software) for shopping, and a web wallet for small amounts that you can spend on street (paying a coffee or similar). |

Depending on what precautions you have put to avoid been hacked like enabling 2FA, never using same passwords.. I believe web wallets might be more secure than local wallets because its easy to lose funds on a desktop wallet than online account with the security features online wallets come with.

Whatever the precautions you will do and going to try to avoid about those hackers out there that wants to compromised the whole site of the wallet that you are using. They will be hacked, the security is just going to depend on how tough the security measures of the management. It is always better to have some back up wallets as desktop. |

Of course local wallet are more safe then webwallet, but there's no way to access your funds when you are out of home Quite the opposite in my opinion, local wallets are just basically storing your bitcoin on your pc which can be compromised by any malware and that can cause you to lose your bitcoin, however online wallets are designed to be totally secure and the keys are stored on servers, so they are pretty safe. |

Those servers cannot be trusted all the times. Compared to that, storing bitcoins in a cold storage must be a good practice in my experience. Online wallets are good only when you are needing mobility of accessing your wallet from more than one place. Probably web wallets might be safer but basically bitcoins stay beyond our control. |

Hi
is it a good idea to store bitcoins in popular online wallets like blockchain.info or coinbase
can these wallets get hacked one day ?
actually they are not 100% safe I guess, they can be hacked some day if there's an intruder who is very expert with the security . but that doesn't mean that the web wallets that you have mentioned will be likely vulnerable and their databases will be easily accessed by someone but for some people who are expert in hacking it wouldn't be impossible so that it is still the best way to store your coin to a paper or hard wallet especially if it is a large amount . |

If mandatory steps are taken, Web Wallets a kind of safer than other means. There is always a risk of hack but not to individual accounts if proper steps taken. Sometimes, whole site get hook up which creates problem but Coinbase and Block chain are big players. You can trust them! |

Of course, everything is definitely there is a risk, how it is best to keep to some wallets. Do not ever save your money in a wallet only, in addition, don't share to public our address and use a feature of the VAULT, so when the transfer takes a long time and additional confirmation. |

It is not advisable to store large amount of bitcoins to online wallets, best is to store it in your offline storage/cold storage to avoid such hackings and stealing your money. |

Thats correct much better to have offline storage if you are planning to store a huge amount of btc but if you are just planning to use web wallet as an alternative to exchange your btc to fiat its still worthy to do that as those web wallet also protecting their names and business to assure members. |

No, they are not safe enough and sometimes they can steal your money if they want to. I have a bad experience with Coinbase and I swear to God I will never spend any Bitcoin to it. Here is my story: I received 0.2 from my friends but the balance only showed 0.18. Then, I wrote a ticket to the coinbase support. They refused to help me and they said that the country which I live in is not supported by coinbase. Yeah. Damn it. I lose 0.02 for nothing
