ty for the answers guys , I have another question concerning the credit cards of those online wallets like Xapo , in case their website goes down for one reason or another does it mean that our masterCard with funds is lost for good aswel l?

With Xapo I guess so as your funds are not actually on the card as its not a preloaded card. The card is linked to your Xapo wallet so your btc is in the wallet and not on the card. So if they go 'down' I guess so does your wallet.

I know they do carry insurance but I'm not sure exactly what is covered. Maybe best to visit their site and read up on the insurance they have and what it covers.

Blockchain.info is one of the most secure one online wallets.

I use a Trezor as it is one of the most secure wallets period.

Trezor is worth the money.

It is a deterministic wallet so when you set it up you get 24 words that you write down and then keep very safe, very secret, and very secure.  You can make multiple copies of the 24 words, give a copy to a trusted attorney, whatever you think is secure.

If you ever lose your Trezor (or any other deterministic wallet) then you just buy another one, enter the same 24 words and like magic you get your entire wallet back, all of the recieive addresses, all of the change addresses, all of the accounts, including all of the transactions you ever made using that wallet!

All you need to do is keep the 24 seed words safe and secret and you never have to back up your wallet.

This is what makes deterministic wallets the easiest to use, safest and most secure way to do Bitcoin.

Our family was terrorized by Homeland Security.  Read all about it here:  http://www.jmwagner.com/ and http://www.burtw.com/  Any donations to help us recover from the $300,000 in legal fees and forced donations to the Federal Asset Forfeiture slush fund are greatly appreciated!

If you have a significant amount of Bitcoin, sure.

I'm getting worried about people suggesting an online wallet, followed by a post asking "what's the different between an online and offline wallet?".

Well actually no offline or online wallet, which memebedakan only the wallet can only be accessed on the web and wallet that exist only in the PC itself, it in my opinion.

I read the reviews about trezor, all saying good words and i think it is a unique device. I see the differences in price about the color but that is nothing that affect the wallet lol. Yeah it is useful if we have a good amount of bitcoin. I bookmarked it maybe one day i will need one.

i think that paper wallet is definitely the safest option of all wallets if you create it offline and never share the private key with anyone

for smaller amounts and daily spends : blockchain.info
for large amounts: for long term storage, definitely use paper wallets or Trezor.

I have been using Coinbase (more than 9 months), so far it has been pretty solid. But I do not have more than dust (less than 50 USD worth in BTC), if you have more than that you should consider a paper wallet.

not hating on coinbase but i heard too many horror stories on their support. So I would just move my coins whenever you buy from them.

To a actual desktop wallet or something more better, incase they claim your coins were never there or something.

If you don't have a budget, paper wallet is solved it. Paper wallet is cheap and secure to keep bitcoin for long term.

That's why don't store your coins on (web wallet or)exchanger, although the company is famous, but don't forget about Mt.Gox.

The question asked was "Most Secure bitcoin wallet ?"

Is Coinbase a wallet or an account?

Paper wallet is not cheap, but the cheapest. If i had a large volume of bitcoins i would buy the trezor it is appropriate.
At the moment coinbase fits my needs so in near future should plat to use one of these above. Btw what is the story about Mt.Gox that you mention?

People had their Bitcoins in accounts at Mt. Gox [a now defunct Bitcoin exchange].  

These people learned the hard way that there is a huge difference between having your Bitcoins in a wallet = you own/have/posses them and having them in an account = you have basically lent them out on account.

Is coinbase a wallet (you own and posses the Bitcoins) or an account (you have lent them out and coinbase now posses the Bitcoins).

This is important as the account holders at Mt. Gox (and all the other plethora of "banks" that have gone under) found out when they tried to get their Bitcoins back.
