    Bitcoin Core is the canonical way to run Bitcoin. If you want to send or receive Bitcoin or understand how it works, installing and running Bitcoin Core is a must. If you are not a technical user, you may use Umbrel as a wrapper to Bitcoin Core, which will install it and manage it for you.

    Cons
    Open Source
    • UX may seem clumsy the first time but it's getting better
    • It may take days to download the blockchain depending on your disk and bandwidth speed, but that's by design
    • Support for commercial hardware wallets is still missing, and I think they will keep it that way

    Electrum needs a Bitcoin Node to run. You can run your own Bitcoin Core service and connect it to Electrum for a full stack, self-custodial Bitcoin wallet. You may run a public Bitcoin Core node, so other people with Electrum use it to verify their transactions, helping the network work faster.
