Quite surprised to see the votes so far, web wallet leading with 55%, I thought PC wallets would be on top due to security reasons. I had a perspective that web wallets are not as secure as PC wallets.
I use a lightweight PC wallet.
You're right that web wallets are not as secure, but web wallets tend to be very user-friendly and easy for people to use if they're not very technical.  When storing a small amount of BTC, web wallets are perfectly fine.  There's also always the threat of malware infection, which would be likely to get to your PC wallet well before your web wallet if you were infected.  Hardware wallets, however, are pretty much immune.


I agree with you, first of all you need to take care of the safety of your savings. And the web wallet is not the best option for storing its savings. And still need to store their bitcoins in different purses
