Bitcoin Core is the canonical way to run Bitcoin

Rating: 7 out of 10

September 5, 2022

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Bitcoin Core as our main Bitcoin wallet software for treasury management and blockchain information. Bitcoin is a network of nodes running Bitcoin Core software so if you want to participate in the Bitcoin network, running Bitcoin Core is the recommended way of doing so.

We run it locally as part of our treasury infrastructure.

Pros

Simple, secure access to the Bitcoin blockchain
Open source, auditable and solid performance
Send and receive Bitcoin immediately

Cons

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

Likelihood to Recommend

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.
