Electrum

Electrum is an easy to use Bitcoin client. It protects you from losing coins in a backup mistake or computer failure, because your wallet can be recovered from a secret phrase that you can write on paper or learn by heart.

De-Proton your life

If you've ever heard of de-Googling your life, you're probably familiar with the Swiss alternative Proton. This service is very accessible and therefore very popular for people looking for more privacy. In addition to the fact that the company has recently taken some suspicious actions according to some privacy lawyers, I see another problem: you are AGAIN transferring all your data to a single company. I am not against Proton, but there is always a RISK when you completely entrust your data to one company. With this list I try to distribute your data as much as possible across services that also respect your privacy, are user friendly and are of course of european origin.

What is Electrum?

Electrum is an easy to use Bitcoin client. It protects you from losing coins in a backup mistake or computer failure, because your wallet can be recovered from a secret phrase that you can write on paper or learn by heart. There is no waiting time when you start the client, because it does not download the Bitcoin blockchain.
