people must stop using web wallets and start searching for safe alternative because there is no website is safe from being hacked and I am sure blockchain will not compensate any one got hacked in this attack if there is any

Everything has a chance of getting hacked, what if your pc is hacked? The users like me who doesn't have more than 5 bitcoins at a time and want to send less bitcoins like 0.02, 0.05 or something like that, many web wallets provide transaction without mining fees, which saves some money for us. So if we want to use some hardware wallet, again we need to buy that.

So web wallets may not be completely secure but its solves many purpose. You theory states all exchanges, trading platform are unsafe to use. is it so

You know when people will stop to use web wallets... When they lost their money Wink Until there, people will still using...


If you have a large ammount, just use a paper wallet. If you have a small ammount, is better using the pc, if you pc are infected, they will steal your money from webwallets too, just keep your machine clean Wink
