Is Blockchain wallet safe during the fork ?

[WaterPower]

I wouldn't use blockchain wallet, instead would use something like bitcoin core or electrum which is safer

I understood the advice of having btc with electrum before the fork and transferring to another electrum after fork, waiting for a certain number of confirmations, getting a bcc compatilble wallet and using your private keys from the first wallet to do bcc transactions. Yet some people are saying it's risky to do btc transfers after fork? I don't see the risk besides waiting for more confirmations than usual.

I thought if Blockchain.info site was permanently removed, some people could still access those BTC. If some people can still access those BTC, why is Blockchain.info not feasible for the initial wallet?

If you have the private key(s) to the addresses holding funds in your blockchain.info wallet then you are safe. I'm not sure if the new version of bc.i wallet allows you to see your private keys though, I know that it used to but not sure about now.

Well i have checked out most of my bitcoin savings, but i have left some small amount. So far i have not found anything that suggest what blockchain is going to do. So far i did not have any kind of problem with them,  i think they are reiable. But if you want to be extra safe,download wallet to your computer.

Pretty sure that Blockchain wallet will be safe during possible hard fork, although there seems to be less and less of a chance of that happening as the days pass by. Bitcoin will pretty much just stay the same and all the hype led to nothing.

Don't know why a lot of people don't like Blockchain wallet, but it seems fine to me. If you do have a pc/desktop wallet I would recommend splitting up your funds between your online wallet, desktop wallet and maybe even a mobile wallet.

Just get your private keys and you won't have to worry no matter what happens.

I was quite surprised because blockchain did not issue important statements before forking decisions, but I still believe that although blockchains do not give users a personal key, they have the best reputation so far. It would be nice if we remain vigilant and divide bitcoin into cold/hard wallet. No one knows what will happen tomorrow.

Yep, it was safe alright. Nothing was changed and I think it goes same as to other blockchain wallets. Never doubted it for a while. I did not cashout any of my savings and I am glad I didn't.

It's generally safe as long as you have your private kieys with you
