The Bitcoin.com Wallet was launched on August 25, 2017, just a few weeks after the Bitcoin blockchain split that took place on August 1. Since then our light client that supports both Bitcoin Cash (BCH) and Bitcoin Core (BTC) has become very popular and the amount of wallets created in so little time has been thrilling to watch. We think that the popularity of our wallet is due to the fact it is so easy to use, and you can send bitcoin wherever you are in the world. Not only that but our lightning fast wallet is safe and secure while at the same time allowing individuals to hold their private keys in a non-custodial fashion.
Further, the Bitcoin.com Wallet comes with a myriad of features that allow individuals to do more than just send and receive cryptocurrencies.

Moreover, we provide real-time charts, and a portal where you can purchase bitcoins effortlessly. Our client also enables users to create shared wallets that utilize the innovation of multi-signature technology. Meanwhile, Bitcoin.com’s wallet provides a shapeshifting feature where users can swap between BCH and BTC effortlessly by utilizing the popular Shapeshift API.
Bitcoin.com’s wallet product manager, Alfonso Rocha, was pumped to see how popular the client has become and he believes 2.5 million wallets created in eleven months is a landmark occasion.
