Basically, it's a wallet that lets you run a full node. It's that big because it comes with a full copy of the blockchain.

As for the benefits:

  • You broadcast your transactions yourself
  • You contribute to the network
  • It's arguably the safest desktop wallet available

I might be forgetting a few stuff, but that's about it in a nutshell.

BTC Core is programmed to decide which block chain contains valid transactions. Users individually run their own Bitcoin Core full nodes, which allows you to only accept valid Bitcoins.

Hope this helps  :)

Actually you can run core wallet with -prune 500 command line and it will cut all old bloks, so making database only 500 megabytes.
