All I wanted to say is there are too many wallets to choose from, and being new to crypto, I want to open a wallet that is relatively easy to use ant that is secure compared to other available counterparts.

I remember back in the days somebody who was given bitcoin as gift so that he would use a wallet or a miner, It was a couple years back, i can't remember exactly what it was.
Wait, so he received bitcoins first before he had a wallet? Must be a paper wallet then (https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Paper_wallet).
But free btc to use a miner?
The only instance where it could happen is in a fake "cloud mining scam" where the user is handed free (fake) hashrates to earn BTC which he can't withdraw.

BTW, it was a long reply because of the "free bitcoin wallet", adding "free" to it is perplexing.
