The above is not the complete list of Wallets. There are much famous wallets or market places like Coinbase that are widely used by so many investors, but still it is not listed here. The reason being, it is not approved by bitcoin as a safe place yet.

It is really tough for a beginner to Bitcoin now, because it is too costly. In that case, you can use the Bitcoin mining, in which you can buy a part or percentage of a bitcoin. Or you could choose Ethereum or Litecoin.
Please include Coinbase in your list. It is one of the commonly used app in US to buy Bitcoin / Ethereum & Litecoin.
Thanks for the comment. I did a bit of research on why I or bitcoin.org didnot list this. Then I found this page.

Coinbase and other such wallets are widely used. But it is listed as a controversial & not so safe market place for storing bitcoins (stated by bitcoin.org itself.) 🙁 .
Hope people’s money does not vanish from these wallets or market place. I will add a note about this in the article. 🙂 BTW. is that you Bharath (CTS HN?)
