After our previous post on how to make a living with bitcoin, we got some questions relating to opening a bitcoin account and how to fund a bitcoin wallet
The way bitcoin is decentralized, you can host a bitcoin server on your PC, open a bitcoin wallet and carry out transactions on it but to install it, you need more than 9GB and periodic updates of the same data size.
To make it easier, many third party wallet platforms now host the server and provide you with a user ID where you open a bitcoin account, log in, get your bitcoin wallet and transact business securely on your browser without any installations.
Some of these platforms include coinbase.com, blockchain.info, bitcoinwallet.com etc.
Let’s consider the features and differences in each:
- If you are a professional and you just want a bitcoin wallet, blockchain.info is your choice
- If you are security conscious and need not only bitcoin wallet but also ethereum wallet as well as a secured bitcoin Vault for large amount transactions, then go for coinbase.com
With coinbase, you can also earn free bitcoins daily
- Finally, in case the bitcoin wallet address is somehow complicated to you, and you need a customized bitcoin address you can easily remember, you can use bitcoinwallet.com to create a unique bitcoin address in your name and still link it with your bitcoin wallet to receive payment worldwide.
