How to Crypto Bitcoin

BlueWallet is a secure and user-friendly Bitcoin-only wallet designed for the community. It allows users to store, send, receive, and buy Bitcoin. The wallet is open source, MIT licensed, and made with React Native. It features full encryption, SegWit, and HD wallets and allows users to control their private keys. It also offers flexible fees, watch-only wallets, and supports Lightning.

BlueWallet supports four wallet types:

p2wsh/HD (migration possible)
p2sh-p2wsh/HD (migration possible)
p2sh/non-HD (migration possible)
LNDhub (migration impossible)

BlueWallet's p2wsh/HD and p2sh-p2wsh/HD wallets use a 12-word passphrase based on the BIP39 standard. Coin Wallet meets the requirements of this standard.
