Everyone here can vouch for Electrum but I would want to believe that Bitcoin Core is also safe? May someone list the differences as to why it is better?
Thank you!
They're both as safe as your computer is. If your computer is compromised, it really doesn't matter which (software) wallet you're using.
The main differences are:
- Electrum is lightweight and doesn't require downloading the full blockchain.
- Electrum support 2FA (comes with a fee).
- You can connect your hardware wallet (Keystone, Ledger, trezor) to Electrum. It's not as easy with bitcoin core.
For bitcoin core, here are a few reason on why would one use it:
