I am reaching out to the steemit community. What is the best bitcoin wallet. And can you have a (shared) wallet on your android device and also your Firefox desktop. Meaning can you view your bitcoin holdings via both devices.
Bitcoin use: Looking to diversify my holdings. When the global fiat ponzi scheme collapses I don't want to be the last one not finding a chair so to speak.
Looking for your dialog. I would appreciate it. And if your of a mind, I wouldn't mind a few more followers. Not building up that fast.
Regards
Gill
When it comes to Bitcoin, I really like bread wallet for iOS personally but here is a great link that will show you about bitcoin wallets of all types. https://bitcoin.org/en/choose-your-wallet
You should choose a wallet that is open source and you have control over your coins. The link should make all of that clear.
For any other coin, I only recommend using the open source wallet from the core coin developers.

I do have an opinion piece about the Jaxx wallet news:

The best wallet for long term cold storage is a paper wallet or something like CryptoSteel. For a hot wallet I would use a hardware wallet like Trezor. Trezor should have an updated model out by the summer. Not that there is anything wrong with the current version. If you have to use a software wallet I would get Electrum . Most Bitcoins are lost due to user error or lack of knowledge about their method of storage. Practice with what ever wallet you choose using a few mBTC's sending and receiving Bitcoins until you are comfortable with it. Next I would put a few mBTC in my wallet of choice and delete and recover the wallet until you are comfortable with that also.

Thank you for the advice. I like the concept of sending microBTCs until comfortable. Nothing like losing a thou.

I use Jaxx.
It's pretty good. I heard about here on steemit so I know others use it too. I never used another one since im new to this so i dont know about the others.

I like coinbase for a couple reasons. First, you have the option of transferring bitcoin or transfer the bitcoin and convert to USD. With it, I can use Shift (an app and debit card) that connect to the coinbase account-- no need to transfer to my bank. I'm still rather new, but thus far, I have no complaints about coinbase.

I will look into this one too. Thanks. Can you view your account both on mobile and desktop apps?

Yes. I like checking the coinbase site on desktop and use the Shift app for mobile.

Atomic wallet is a great multi crypto wallet that can be used both on mobile and desktop. I personally use it on my android device and sometimes access my wallet on my windows PC. MOst linux distros are also supported
