Recovery seed and next best bitcoin wallet for daily transactions

[avp2306]

Cake and Unstoppable are good mobile wallets but more flexible with multi coins. If you want to have alts and Bitcoin, I will suggest the two but Bitcoin only are best with Bluewallet, Electrum is good if you are on Android.

People can have bitcoin and altcoins in their portfolios but storing both in a same wallet is not my recommendation.

It's easy to download (verify if you can) and use a wallet, so my advice is using two separate wallets for your portfolio.

• One wallet for Bitcoin.
• Another wallet for altcoins
  
  • If you are more careful, you can have different wallets for altcoins: like with biggest altcoins like ETH, BNB, SOL, saving them in one wallet.
  • Shitcoins in another altcoin wallet.

Its not good to mixed it up knowing that there are lots of attacks happening which those people need to avoid. If it happen that they made a mistake on any of those coins they transact, they might get wiped out and lost all of their holdings.

So your suggestion is really good because separating on different wallets is best option to do here. Because they can avoid those potential heavy damages brought up by these type of attacks https://coin98.com/blog/common-attacks-targeting-crypto-wallet-users-in-2026-and-how-they-work

So best to organize to make sure that their asset is safe and they can easily manage it.

I have a 12 recovery seeds that won't import into Electrum, it will give me where to type the words and I carefully checked them to confirm if the words are correct ones but Electrum won't let me import because the botton to do so isn't available, it's blank.

Anyways, so between Blue wallet and Cake wallet which one is good enough for small amount of Bitcoin? Nothing too big for long time, just for small transactions here and there.

I read they are both open source, is that true? Which is best and why?

For bitcoin stick around with blue wallet, but since you mentioned recovering your wallet on electrum.


you may consider using cake wallet for other coins storage aside bitcoin, do your own research, but any wallet that offers you seed phrase should be ok.

my advise you stick with open source wallet.

You've been answered already by many users, your seed phrase doesn't show because the default option for importing seed phrase are for electrum users already, those who have seedd phrase from electrum wallet are able to import without issues, but those using seed phrase from another wallet has to select the option from electrum to BIP39 users where the button to continue will pop up to continue.

I've used blue wallet many times and they are used for small transactions also, but the fee is pretty high as much as $1 upwards, the reason I stopped using it.

That's a good question, as we all know both wallet are open source and generally well regarded, so either of them is a good choice for storing your holdings. Both wallets has theirmain functions, so if you're into pure bitcoin holdings/investment, then I recommend you to chose the blue wallet because its a user friendly especially to a beginners here. It includes some useful bitcoin features such as native SegWit support, watch- only wallets and hardware wallet. As for Cake wallet, it's a good option too especially if you want to manage your bitcoins together with different type of cyrptocurrency holdings... But like what i've mentioned, if you want to focus in bitcoin only then you must consider the bluewallet as they offer a more streamlined experience.

Bitcoin is more valuable than altcoins and in long term, Bitcoin is a safest cryptocurrency asset you can have and get rich with it. Altcoins can make you poorer and it's not good to store all of them in one wallet like a mixture between good and bad ones.

In security, it's more important to separate them in different wallets. If anything bad from one altcoin project that let my wallet compromised, for example, my bitcoins in another wallet or other wallets will be safe.

Even with bitcoin fund, I would like to store them in some wallets, as who knows if either your desktop computer compromised or laptop or phone. Let's spread your coins to some wallets, you will never lose all of them.
