10 Bitcoin Apps That Everyone Should Have
10 Bitcoin Apps That Everyone Should Have.
Owning a smartphone, like owning bitcoin, is obligatory these days. All the cool kids are doing it, along with all the uncool kids who were hodling hard back when bitcoin was ripe for mockery. Not any more. Whether you’re a bitcoin veteran or are new enough to believe HODL means Hold On for Dear Life, you might find something interesting in this list of 10 great cryptocurrency apps.
Blockfolio
The go-to portfolio checker for pretty much everyone, Blockfolio
is clean and simple. You need to enter your cryptocurrency holdings manually,
so it’s not great for day traders who are jumping from coin to coin. For
everyone else though, Blockfolio lets you set and forget. Setting’s easy;
forgetting the urge to refresh your portfolio every 30 seconds is a lot harder.
Get it on Android and iPhone.
As alternatives, Acrypto for Android and Condex and Crypton for iOS also look tasty. So does Delta, which is available
for both platforms, and likewise with Coincap.
Bitcoin Checker
One for Android users only, Bitcoin Checker is a neat little widget that can be
resized and used to display any cryptocurrency from any exchange. Whether you
want to check arbitrage opportunities by monitoring bitcoin at multiple
exchanges or keep track of your altcoin bags on obscure exchanges, Bitcoin
Checker has got you covered.
Coin Tracking
For serious cryptocurrency trading, Coin Tracking is
fricking awesome. It creates pretty pie charts of your portfolio and allows you
to calculate such metrics as realized and unrealized gains and reports for tax
declaration. You do pay your taxes, right? Course you do. You’ll need to
subscribe to benefit from all of Coin Tracking’s features. The service comes
with a nifty iOS and Android app.
Lawnmower
Lawnmower doesn’t
cut your grass, but it does cut through a lot of the noise regarding
cryptocurrency investing. A clean interface makes it easy to view historical
charts, market data, and news, and to invest fixed amounts on a weekly or
monthly basis. It’s available on Android and iOS.
Ztrader
If your cryptocurrency exchange of choice doesn’t have a mobile
trading app (such as Bittrex or Poloniex), Ztrader allows Android owners to connect via API and
execute trades. Exchanges such as Bitfinex, Binance, and Coinbase all have
excellent mobile apps, but not all platforms are as accommodating.
Earn.com is an Android and iOS app that lets you earn cryptocurrency for answering
messages and completing tasks. Getting paid bitcoin for answering email sounds
too good to be true, but it’s legit. There’s a caveat though: to earn anything
of consequence, you’ll need to be an influencer whose wisdom is sought out by
the crypto community. Better up your Twitter game.
Bitcoin.com Wallet
You didn’t think we were gonna omit our own wallet did you? The
user-friendly Android and iOS Bitcoin.com wallet
is the perfect repository for your bitcoin and bitcoin cash. Lest we be accused
of trying to monopolize the wallet market, there’s a number of other well-rated
mobile wallets out there including Bread for Android and iOS.
Google Authenticator
If you’re not using Google Authenticator for iOS and Android to secure your accounts via 2FA, you’re asking to
have your coins stolen.
And now for two non-essential but still pretty nifty apps: Coinpaper is an Android app that converts the charts for
bitcoin, ethereum, and litecoin into a live wallpaper. Crypto Ladder displays
real-time cryptocurrency rankings by market cap for Android and iOS. It’s mesmerizing, but don’t stare too long or you’ll get
giddy.
