What's your best free BTC wallet

[satscraper]

All non custodial wallets are free to use. Unstoppable does have some premium features but you could still use the wallet.

Between the two you mentioned, I'd go with unstoppable if you're interested in holding altcoins or have an iPhone otherwise Electrum should be fine for just bitcoin.

You might want to consider using Envoy ^{from Foundation} on your iPhone. I like that this mobile wallet can route its network traffic through Tor without needing to install any additional software, as everything required is already integrated into the wallet. Besides, it comes from US company that pays great attention to the security of its products and respects users’ privacy as well.

P.S. It has the option to work as a standalone mobile wallet.

Which free Bitcoin wallet is best recommendable for someone who can't afford hardware wallet? Between Electrum and Unstoppable wallet, I choose these two because they are the best open source wallet that I can find, free on mobile to be precise, not PC.

You will find lot's of wallet for free. Generally all non custodial wallets are free to use. My personal Recommendations is Xverse/Unisat for bitcoin wallet. Specially foru runes/BRC-20 you can use Unisat wallet.

Every wallet supports bitcoin , Since it's non custodial wallet use any wallet with your likings.  For general purpose of use I use Trust Wallet.

Afaik, all software wallets are free, no matter whether they are custodial and non custodial.

Not really, as there are specialized wallets that supports only specific chains, like Ethereum or Solana.

This brings me to the question. For those wallets like trust wallets and some which don't allow you to customize your fee rate down to a certain level, sometimes they force you to overpay fees. How do they benefit from such

All etherum wallet supporters which I have seen support all chains/networks under MEW, and have seen only a few. One chain supports only wallets, like MyTonWallet, which supports only ton and its tokens, phantom wallet for SOL is multi.

There are actually many free wallets you can use to store Bitcoin (or for Bitcoin activities). Personally, I prefer the Electrum wallet for Bitcoin, and the OKX Web3 wallet for multi-coin/multi-token features (including NFTs). Regarding the two wallets you mentioned, Electrum is open-source, and Unstoppable is also included. As far as I know, neither of these wallets has ever had any issues or reported vulnerabilities. I noticed that both wallets have been audited by one of the largest Web3 security service providers. So, I think both are good wallets to use. Cmiiw.

I have not used unstoppable wallet before since I'm only holding Bitcoin and therefore have no need of multi cryptocurrency wallet. Understanding that open source wallets are the best, I have used Electrum and Bluewallet but I prefer Electrum wallet because it is easier to use and gives me all the functionality I desire in an easy way. The RBF feature is also easy to use even by a novice who just got basic knowledge of wallets.

In my early days in crypto, I steaked to Trust Wallet for a while till it disappointed me, and in the quest for a more reliable wallet i came across sources for topics regarding wallet conversation then came across a thread with the most reliable and trusted wallets to use. There I found Electrum wallet to be the best based on the nature of the discussion about it, and I opted for it, and till date I have not experienced a funny incident or scenerio and that is what I recommend for anyone who asks me for a reliable wallet to subscribe to.

It's better to avoid such wallet and use a wallet that is completely open source and supports RBF so that you can adjust the fees manually.

I use electrum wallet because it's beginners friendly and very easy to use. Those wallets mentioned in the OP are good choices for anyone that's new in the cryptospace.

I can recommend two wallets for use on mobile devices. The first is BlueWallet and the second is Unstoppable Wallet.
Electrum is also acceptable, but I find BlueWallet easier to use.
Continuing with Unstoppable, Unstoppable Wallet is a multi-coin wallet with open source code that is not complicated to use. BlueWallet is a Bitcoin-specific wallet that supports many features. If you want to buy a hardware wallet later, you can connect it.

I think Elecrum wallet also have mobile version, you can use that for your savings if you are used to electrum, you can use the mobile version to save your Bitcoin as long as you will keep your seed phase safe.

I am using BlueWallet which is also a mobile version, and it has never given any problem, it is secured and reliable  because it is an open-source that can be relied on to save your life savings in Bitcoin.
To me, selecting anyone among them is fine because they can rely on any of them since they trusted as long as you will download it from their official website.

I wonder, what does Unstoppable wallet offer that premium features?

- Duress mode (meaning if you're threatened to enter your wallet PIN for example, you would end up in another wallet that contains no funds)
- Adress checking: this helps you check if the address you're sending funds to is suspicious (they use chainAnlysis and some other public blacklisted DBs IIRC).
- Trading signals or something of that sort.

The first two features are quite useful, but, not something the average user cannot live without.

Wow, this makes me interested to start using Unstoppable Wallet. So, it's a multi wallet that's ideal for those who are also holding altcoins.

As per checking its features on the website, it's got a lot of protection features for its users including phishing.

Is this premium paid? I can't paid see the details on the website. I hope that they'll add a desktop version soon because it seems that it's only available in android and iOS users.

Electrum is a nice choice, why still search for other ones when you clearly have electrum besides in terms of security you’re in-charge, I don’t know about the other one because I have not tried it yet. I remembered using electrum wallet for the first time and I got confused at first so I had to ask questions although Blue wallet is still a nice choice if you care to search, both blue wallet and electrum serve the same purpose.

Is this premium paid? I can't paid the details on the website.

Yes, that’s what Premium means. You need to pay a fee to get access to the wallet’s advanced features.
I just downloaded it to check how much it costs and it seems they offer two subscription plans, a monthly plan that costs $25 per month and a yearly plan that costs $199 per year.
What I found a bit odd, though, is that although this is a crypto wallet, they do not accept crypto payments! You have to pay with your credit card.

And thanks because I haven't downloaded it yet so, it shows after downloading and installing it. There's so much savings if it's annually paid, hmmm.

Haha, they should start accepting payments in crypto since they're a multi crypto wallet.

Again, thanks khaled for those details.
