Is here anyone holding high amounts in Blockchain? - Shed - Jan 1, 2015
So, after "the hacker" stole 250 bitcoins, I'm not sure if I want to continue holding my coins here.
Is anyone else holding high amounts in BlockChain?
Should I go to Coinbase? ,
Is here anyway to link my Bitcoin client + BlockChain? Because I mostly times send bitcoins via my phone and blockchain app do it more easy.

No, blockchain.info is sketchy.

Don't trust online wallets, use an offline wallet. Electrum, Armory, MultiBit are all good.

If you actual security, you should use a paper wallet or an encrypted wallet on your computer.

I don't know how many people still don't know this. CoinBase and Circle are both American companies headquartered in the USA. Your wallets there are insured and protected, so you get your money back if they get hacked or lose your BitCoins. By using an offline wallet, there is always a possibility of corruption or loss. Yes, you'll be able to send and receive BitCoins, even using your phone. Make sure you enable two-factor authentication for extra security.

I use CoinBase for buying and selling but I don't keep all my BTC there. I think it's one of the best companies to go with in my opinion. Hope this helps the OP with your decision.

I've read about Coinbase tracing where BTC come from and things of that nature, and suspending accounts based on that information. I personally use Bitcoin core, but would also use Electrum.
