Hi all! Been using a custodial wallet but want to switch to something where I actually own my Bitcoin. Heard APK wallets are safer? Where can I download a legit Bitcoin wallet APK without malware?
Hi! Custodial wallets are risky - you're trusting someone else. Non-custodial is definitely safer. For downloading wallet APKs safely, use trusted sources like Uptodown. I recommend BlueWallet APK from there. Why it's a good choice: open-source wallet - code is public, anyone can verify security, private keys stay on your device - you have full control, supports multiple address types: SegWit, Taproot, Legacy, Lightning Network for instant cheap transactions. Why download from Uptodown specifically: they verify apps before hosting - no malware, regular updates as soon as they're released, no restrictions or region locks, free and legal distribution. The wallet itself has strong security features: password-based encryption, hardware wallet support (Ledger, Trezor), watch-only wallets for monitoring cold storage, Replace-By-Fee if transactions get stuck. You can customize transaction fees from 1 satoshi per byte to save money or higher for urgent transfers. Interface is beginner-friendly with hints. Just never download wallet APKs from random websites - stick to official sources or trusted stores like Uptodown.
