I am using Coinbase Bitcoin Core 0.10.0

So which one is it?  Coinbase wallet or Bitcoin Core wallet?

Both are completely different from one another.  Coinbase is a web wallet and Bitcoin Core is a desktop wallet.

He may have missed an "and" there. Roll Eyes Coinbase to store small amount and Bitcoin Core to store bigger amount.

i don't see the point of having small amount on coinbase and a big one on bitcoin core, because if they steal from coinbase it mean that your pc is likely infected, which mean that they will steal your btc from core too...

what i'm saying is that having two hot wallet is only giving more bitcoin to thieves

I am using Coinbase Bitcoin Core 0.10.0

like i said above, not a good strategy, unless you hold a very small amount on both

better to have only one hot wallet(not on site, but locally, in this case leaves core and discards coinbase), the rest of your saving in a cold storage/other dedicated machine(the latter will give you the possibility to have two hot wallet)
