Copay. Allows you to customize the amount of fees a transaction takes and you actually own your bitcoin, unlike with blockchain and other online wallets.

Never heard of electrum so I cannot comment on the disadvantages or advantages. I just know that Copay is simple, fast, supports multiple devices, and does everything I need.

how have you never heard of Electrum? it’s listed on r/bitcoin’s sidebar and is one of the most widely-used wallets on desktop. from what i can see electrum is similar to copay. might switch depending on multi-platform stuff since i have lots of devices using different operating systems.

Coinbase is the best.

I've never heard of it. It might be older than Copay, but I've been using Copay for a few years and have had no problems.

Coinbase is the best.

Maybe for exchanges, but not as a wallet.

I use it as a wallet and its just fine.

Blockchain has the lowest fees AFAIK. Though, I haven't done much of a research about it.

Also you must be out of the Loop or something because you sound like a relatively misinformed parrot who is forming opinions about things based on others' experiences and stories. Also Electrum is a really good wallet and is actually very secure with your crypto, however iirc it is an exclusively hardware wallet and has limited compatibilities interacting with other software wallets, I could be wrong tho.

Maybe at x sat/byte rate, it has the lowest fees, but other wallets allow you to change the sat/byte rate to <1, allowing you to decrease the fees even more.

A "misinformed parrot who is forming opinions about things based on others' experiences and stories" lmao. Where are you getting this information? I use copay and have for a long time. I'm not basing my opinions on other peoples' experiences. I'm also not saying electrum is bad, hence why I said I did not have the experience to judge that wallet:

Never heard of electrum so I cannot comment on the disadvantages or advantages.

Don't try to sound smart when you are trying to insult someone. Just insult me and get over your need for attention. I said coinbase is bad as a wallet because the whole point of bitcoin is to get away from banks and sites controlling your money. Coinbase controls the private keys for your wallet. Therefore, you don't "fully" own your bitcoin. I don't understand your need to insult me. Just say what you want to say and don't make blatantly false assumptions.

Reread my post. I never said otherwise.

yup this is false

electrum is a software wallet and interacts fine with other wallets, it supports tons of seed word formats and private key formats so it’s actually great for compatibility with other wallets

Can you use other private keys with electrum or am I misunderstanding your statement.
