I would like to store some bitcoins on a software wallet. But it seems like there are quite a few of these and new ones coming up all of the time.
For a newcomer like me can someone suggest which are the most popular?
Do yourself a favor and start out right using a hardware wallet. Trezor is very easy to use and you will never have your bitcoin stolen. Well worth $99. Documentation is very thorough and walks you through setup and use. A bonus is Trezor works with Mycelium wallet on Android.
