Recommended strategy: Keep your main BTC2 portfolio in Bitcoin 2 Core for full staking rewards and maximum security. If you prefer browser access over installing the full node, the Official Web Wallet is a convenient middle ground with partial staking rewards. Use Everywhere Wallet on your phone for day-to-day spending and mobile payments — without needing to touch your main holdings. All three are valid — choose based on your priorities.
