What is the best Bitcoin Mobile Wallet?


Bitcoin wallets come on different platforms with different features. There is not “one size fits all” concept.

Bitcoin wallet can be set up electronically either on your mobile or desktop. It is an application or a program which allows you to send or receive Bitcoin cash, and keep track of your transactions and history. The software program stores the private and public keys and interacts with various block chains to enable the users to send and receive digital currency and also monitor their balance. If you want to store and use the crypto currency you need a Digital Wallet.

They are downloaded to your computer directly without any dependence on third-party services. The complete download of block chain may take more time due to the heavy size, but the wallet should be ready within a day to use.

There are software wallets and also hardware wallets that are used for Bitcoin transactions. Bitcoin hardware wallets are very secure because they do not expose any private keys to the network. Some of the hardware wallets include Ledger Wallet, OPENDIME etc.,

There are many safe and simple software wallets to hold your bitcoins and their transactions. For example, Airbitz, Copay work on both iPhone and Android while Mycelium works on Android mobiles. It is interesting to note that in Feb 2014, Apple has banned all Bitcoin mobile wallets from its App Store. Now we have DropBit, BRD and Airbitz etc., which are very user-friendly iOS mobile wallets.
