💰 The best crypto wallets

GM everyone. This is 2036, the newsletter that pays you.

Wednesday is one of our favorite days here at 2036. This is how we're feeling today:

It's the day we get to speak to the greatest number of you.

That's right. It's Wallet Wednesday.

The theme of Wallet Wednesday is simple: you open a crypto wallet. You send us proof. You enter a raffle to win a prize in BTC.

We do this because opening a crypto wallet is Step #1 of your journey to financial independence and crypto savvy.

Naturellement, we start with Bitcoin. BTC. The OG of crypto.

We love bitcoin because:

• 4 billion people live under authoritarian regimes

• 2 billion people suffer from double-digit inflation

• 1 billion people cannot use traditional payment apps

• 1 billion people rely on remittances

And bitcoin is:

• censorship resistant

• inflation resistant

• seizure resistant

• audible and transparent

Oh, and it's also the gateway drug to DeFi, NFTs, Web 3, and all the other fun stuff crypto has to offer.

So no matter where you are in the world, bitcoin is a long-term store of wealth.

Okay, so what are some good wallets?

We asked some of those people on Twitter who post cryptically smart Tweets about block sizes and TPS - and this is what we found:

• Best hardware wallet with offline security backup: Ledger combined with Cryptotag 

• Best wallet for simplicity and security: Coinbase

• Best wallet for desktop: Electrum

• Best wallet for Android: Samourai

• Best wallet for iPhone: Blockstream Green

• Best web wallet: BitGo

• Best wallet if you're a total privacy nerd: Joinmarket (slightly complicated)

• Best wallet if you're a total security nerd (yeah, gotta pick your battles!): Casa

So that's your job for today.

✅ Task: earn $15 in BTC for opening a bitcoin wallet

We don't really care which one you go with.

Any of them will work.

And if you already have one, more power to you! You are allowed to submit that as well.

All you've gotta do is the following:

Step #1: open a bitcoin wallet if you don't already have one (or maybe get a better one!)

Step #2: reply to this email with proof (like a screenshot) and your public bitcoin address so we can pay you.

Please make sure your bitcoin address is written in the email so we can copy-paste it if necessary. We won't type it out if it's only visible in the screenshot.

And that's it for today folks. Simple like that.

Tomorrow we're gonna take on one of the most hotly debated topics in crypto.

See you then - and have a great Wednesday.

Alex.
