I dont like to put all of my coins into a wallet so i dont think i would buy a hardware wallet and that is just because i know how bad the security of the wallets are.

I disagree that the security of the bitcoin wallet providers online has bad security at all. Do you think blockchain has a bad security? I guess you are just putting out a statement without basis but I can't blame you if you think that online wallets does have poor security. For me, I won't go to buy hardware wallet it is just going to cost me another bucks.

You are right the blockchain as a example has a good security but it stays a  online wallet, who knows what will happen.
With a paper wallet you are safe from hackers, a hardware wallet is okay but I would never buy it.

in my opinion it is more secure and easy to use blokchain wallet, I suggest enable all existing security to avoid incidents that we do not want
yeah they're having security features to prevent hacker,but the thing since they're an online wallet service,then if they turn out to scam thousands of people because this service is actually owned by someone then what you can do? don't expect the security features would prevent it
even though i don't think they wanna do it because they're just a popular service and wasting the popularity such a useless thing

Yes, the possibility of  being hacked or stolen funds are there since its own by someone and have access on each of the accounts being created  no matter what security feature you activated on it. but  in  blockchain.info its impossible to happen in fact  they are one of the most commonly used  online wallet as of now.

They wouldnt  destroy their reputation  just  on a penny hacking coins on  their members account. Blockchain is  famous and almost  bitcoin users  does use this  online wallet for their transactions. It not possible  that they  would commit such act for sure. Blockchain does have  strong security  i could  recommend it  to others but if you do hold large amounts of bitcoin then  it better to  buy  hardware wallet in my own opinion because  its somehow safe.
