Since I believe it will be better if I first understand bitcoin's technical side before I proceed on the forum, I am currently beginning my journey with it from a technical standpoint.
But as I was researching, I found out that I first needed to download a file called the bitcoin core in order to start storing my bitcoin. In light of this, I want to know if there is any other way to store bitcoin besides downloading the core. And which is safer.
And if there is, I'd love it if the senior members could assist me with it. It seems to me that utilising the bitcoin core on a mobile device won't be much easier for me, so please let me know if you know of any way to store my bitcoin without downloading the complete bitcoin core.
Yes, there is another simple and similarly secure way to store your Bitcoin. You don't really need Bitcoin core for the purpose because there are many other open-source wallet software that you can use to create your wallet and deposit your Bitcoin into that wallet. One of the most user-friendly wallet software that you can use it Electrum. In fact I think it's most beginner friendly way to store your Bitcoin because it's easy to learn and there are many tutorials about it on YouTube.
You can watch this simple tutorial to learn about Electrum wallet:
