Best Crypto Wallet

[Z_MBFM]

Just from the title alone… I wanted to ask what possibly the best wallet to hold bitcoin in?

Before anyone says that it depends on what I need specifically then here is what I am here for. I can not decide which one really is the best based on the things I want. First of all I plan on holding some bitcoin (not huge amount) for a foreseeable future. However I also plan on swapping it for usdt from time to time aka when the price is getting high. I need a wallet that has low fees, preferably decentralized, and is secure.

Any recommendations?

If you say which is the highest best wallet then it will be the hardware wallet which will give you high security of your bitcoins. and if you want to use software wallet then you can use Electrum Wallet it is decentralized and till now it has maintained a lot of reputation. Bitcoin users trust it a lot because of its high security. here you can also deposit high amount of bitcoins without any hesitation. If you put in any other wallet there it can be more risky. In my opinion this is why I trust Electrum Wallet so much to keep Bitcoin safe

If you want to accumulate bitcoins it is definitely best to hold bitcoins for a long time. For this you can use hardware wallet as a hard wallet, where your bitcoins will be most secure. But I don't think there is any need to exchange your USD, if you hold Bitcoin you should keep it in Bitcoin and you will get the best results. Very common are two types of software and hardware wallets, you can choose any type of wallet.

Here are pictures of some hardware wallets you can choose from, but their functionality is very good.

You can use Bitpay wallet, it has all you want to do including ability to swap between bitcoin and vice versa. The fee is great and suitable for what you want to achieve except when the memepool is congested which then becomes a general problem. Besides, it is self-custodian meaning you are in full custody of the seed phrase as it is not stored by Bitpay. I would have recommended hardware wallets but from your post, it is obvious you are not holding for long, just buy low sell high kind of stuff. So Bitpay wallet is ideal for all that and from the review so far, I have not seen any bad reputation attached to it.

Bitcoin users trust it a lot because of its high security. here you can also deposit high amount of bitcoins without any hesitation. If you put in any other wallet there it can be more risky. In my opinion this is why I trust Electrum Wallet so much to keep Bitcoin safe

Electrum is recommended because it is open source and users can verify their code for bugs and to make sure it is safe for use, and even if you don't have the knowledge to verify its code, it is a wallet that is widely used in the community, and so it is also very well reviewed by many BTC users.

However, Electrum is an online wallet, and isn't recommended for a large amount of BTC, except you run it in an airgapped device that is completely disconnected from the internet.

You can use Coinomi or Mycelium I think you can swap USDT right on the app if I am not mistaken. For fees I think they are also customizable. Just don't use untrusted wallets or else your funds will be gone. I've been using those apps I've mention since 2017 and it's working well though I have never tried swapping USDT but with other coins yeah it's good.

It costs me $30 to get 300MB in my country every damn month and Bitcoin core requests over 500MB right now, that will cost a lot, since this is even Bitcoin we are talking about there are many good Bitcoin wallets out there now compare to alt crypto wallets.

$30 to get 300MB?? How possible is that? I guess you made a mistake or wanted to write gb instead. And Bitcoin core requires over 500GB not MB. What op need is just a simple wallet like @ Charles tim had suggested earlier. Unstoppable would be fine for you op, since you clearly stated that you won't be storing large amount. Avoid wallets like trust even though they have the swap features, they are still unsafe and not reliable. I think I've also come across the swap feature in Mycelium also. All you have to do is select a new token under the etherum network then add usdt to your wallet. Then you can swap to usdt from Bitcoin on Mycelium from time to time. Mycelium is still safe and I've been using it for years now without any complications, just little issues with balance update.

Sounds like a very unsafe plan. Let's just hold his BTC in Bitcoin Core and, when time will come, move them everywhere he wants to sell them.

You need to stop posting what is wrong and what can mislead people. He is not saying he has Bitcoin Core, why recommending a wallet that will take over 500 gigabyte to download the full blockchain? Even if it is a Prune node, how about the daily data requirements to keep updating it to the latest blocks? This is not what the user want. At least recommend an SPV wallet instead. Bitcoin Core is also still an online wallet and not cold wallet.

Dude calm down and read again what i wrote instead of make false statements

He doesn't need Bitcoin core for that purpose, any SPV wallet is good enough to store for long term and move the funds to exchange whenever we want to sell. So if OP is a beginner then I won't recommend core at all, Electrum will be my recommendation, it just takes few MBs of space and in future, he can connect to your own node as well if you don't want to rely on third-party servers.

Here are pictures of some hardware wallets you can choose from, but their functionality is very good.

Ledger is the number one among the hardware wallets on that image, but Ledger is not a good choice. I can recommend Passport or SeedSigner. My second recommendation would be Trezor. The one that I against most is Ledger while in one way or the other, I can still recommend others one that are listed.

I guess you got plenty of suggestions already on which wallet is best for different purposes. I personally use Electrum for myself to hold the coins. I don’t use it to swap to USDT, but yes it’s the best for holding Bitcoins. Just make sure your PC doesn’t get infected with any virus and you are good to go. Moreover if you really love your hard earned bitcoins then it’s better to avoid storing them in any online wallets or exchanges. Now I assume you are very smart enough to choose the ideal wallet for yourself from these plenty of suggestions.

[Loki11]

You've likely received numerous suggestions about which wallet is best for various purposes.

I use Ledger and Bitlox to hold my Bitcoins; that is the safest option.

Given the many recommendations, I'm confident you can choose the ideal wallet.

Also, you can find some suggestions or a list of all the best hardware wallets and all bitcoin wallets.

Be careful with desktop wallets and malware. I know a few people who have lost their coins due to such things.

You can go to this site there complete from hardware to software wallets. https://thebitcoinhole.com/
Owner's official link: 56 Hardware Wallets, compared feature by feature

For fees it depends on the network itself while Wallets do not specify fees so they usually only provide DEX features.

Op, to me I will advice you go and search or browse what you are looking for because I don't really understand what is going on here, nobody wants to agree what the other person is saying, there's a lot of  argument so I will advice you look for it yourself and then if anyone matches what they have mentioned here then know it's the right one because you can just possibly pick one and despise the other one that may lead you to mistake. But I see no reason why they should be arguing on this thread, in as much as I don't know the one that is good to use I wouldn't want to choose side but I will suggest they stop the argument so that someone who ask won't get confused or discourage the more.

Wasabi Wallet has the best privacy, it's available for desktop.

I forgot to mention that it should be in mobile if there is any.

[vitya1982]

I tried Exodus and OWNR wallet, they are both good. But currently I'm using OWNR, there are a lot of other functions, like selling your crypto instead of exchanging it for USDT or buying gift cards.

[bettercrypto]

If it's for Bitcoin and it's not such a large amount, I think Electrum is fine to use, but if it's a large amount of bitcoin, of course I suggest you use a hardware wallet. 

If you are referring to top crypto assets to accumulate and hold long-term, Trustwallet, Klevr, and Coinomi can be there; these are just a few that, for me, are good and have given
me a good experience.

[CODE200]

Electrum wallet is probably the best of the bunch, no doubts that it's going to be the first one in the list. Some of the few features that makes it stand out is that it's open-source so you know that you're not going to be a victim of wallets that are locking out the finds of their users and another feature that although not unique for a crypto wallet, they do it best, it's the sleek but simple to understand design for their wallet, you don't have to navigate to different places to be searching for thousands of things, it's a wallet that stores your bitcoin and you can use it to send your bitcoin to other addresses, that's it.

[Essential10]

There are several good bitcoin wallets where you can keep your bitcoins safely. You can store your bitcoins in hardware wallet or electrum wallet, I find these wallets safe. Electrum Wallet is a popular wallet that also offers an extra layer of security. It allows users to securely store their private keys and transact without the risk of being hacked online. Using this type of wallet for Bitcoin is very secure and can be trusted by any user. However, just as it is important to choose a secure wallet for storing bitcoins, it is your personal responsibility to protect your lock keys.

So Bitpay wallet is ideal for all that and from the review so far, I have not seen any bad reputation attached to it.

What I see is that people are giving recommendations on Electrum as well as many other wallets and Electrum is a perfect choice for storing bitcoin but that's not what OP is looking for . He was looking for a wallet that could directly exchange between bitcoin and USDT , and Electrum did not offer that feature .

I have never seen or used any wallet that features a direct exchange on the wallet, and is open source and non-custodial wallet . Is Bitpay an open source and non-custodial wallet? By the way, I saw the OP said that he is looking for a wallet for mobile version and does bitpay have a version for both iOS and Android operating systems currently?

[Suman1]

We have a lot of options and everyone's choice is different but I prefer Bitget wallet, and trust wallet, however, Bitget wallet is one step ahead and enhances deposits in their own  Dapp via the P2P method seems interesting to me.

Best wallet would always be offline wallets, ledger would always be my top choice for securing and holding my crypto.
Sometimes I would also use a paper wallet if it is just a small amount and I know that I wouldn't hold it for a long time.
And for swapping BTC to USDT or other crypto, you could use Nano Ledger Live if you would choose ledger for your crypto.
