Does anyone else think cryptocurrency wallets are quite primitive in comparison to bank accounts?
Cryptocurrency wallets are not comparable to bank accounts because they are not intended to be like that. However you might want to develop it yourself and see how that works out?
1. I get notified for each transaction that occurs.
2. I get a transaction history to review what goes in and out of my wallet.
Some of the web wallets have features for e-mail notifications if that is what you are looking for. Electrum also integrates with the Windows notification system and sends a toast when transactions are received.
Almost every wallet have a section to where you can check a list of all transactions till date.
Does a smart wallet with these kinds of features exist? Can you guys think of other features you wish cryptocurrency wallets had?
Point is that if you are looking to find every feature in a wallet you are less likely to be satisfied. But question yourself, the necessity of that feature. Developers always want to follow a theme for example: "Most lightweight wallet", "Most secure wallet" - they dont go beyond that and include everything into that piece of software.
Does my question even make sense or do I have it all wrong?
Asking questions is not wrong as long as you remain on point.
