You can create an account and posting in this forum, it's mean you have device, electricity and internet connection, so definitely you can have a Bitcoin wallet. It's fine to use hot wallet (where you use a device that connected with internet) to hold your coins, as long as the amount is small and you can afford to lose because hot wallet is hackable.

I will check about the Exodus wallet and how it works. Hopefully, I'll learn a lot from it as well
Don't use this wallet, this is one of wallet that should be avoided due to closed source.

So I'm asking if there can be wallets for newbies that'll contain tutorial measures on how to use it and it'll also be user friendly to newbies

Try faucets, also you can try creating crypto demo wallet accounts, there are specific tutorials, guides and mentoring you could learn from them and there are website also were you can begin as a newbie, when you're dealing with demo account you will not have to use real bitcoin or possibly the reward that may be given can be very little in sats since the intention was for learning purpose only.

With this, to send, receive coins  and do other things like message signing will  be less complicated to newbies and will also make the use of Bitcoin wallet an easy task for all newbies

There's a wallet best for newbies in this regard which can serve for learning purpose and easy to understand, they can make use of Exodus wallet but am not sure if all the features you mentioned were comprised in it usage.

I will check about the Exodus wallet and how it works. Hopefully, I'll learn a lot from it as well

For the first stage of learning wallets, I suggest beginners try using the BlueWallet wallet on a smartphone.
Choose a wallet that is open source and BlueWallet is a very easy open source wallet to use on android or iOS.

If later the way to use it is smooth, it will also make it easier when using other best wallets such as Electrum.
Make sure to store the seed phrase properly in a place that no one can reach.

To use it, you can visit this thread. I think it will help. [Tutorial] BlueWallet - Bitcoin Wallet Discussion

Try faucets, also you can try creating crypto demo wallet accounts,

I'm sorry, but it seems to me that everything is much simpler. Here on the forum, is full of guides, for example from Ratimov, which are literally explained on the fingers. And in order not to understand them, you need to make great efforts. Using faucets, in our time, it seems to me, is a waste of time. Instead, it's enough to carefully read the Electrum manual, learn how to store your seed phrases, and start being independent.
OP, "the bicycle has long been invented", it is not worth reinventing it again. Start with theory and move smoothly to practice.

The most important thing about a Bitcoin wallet is how secure it is, and that's what a crypto newbie should be more concerned about than the tutorial feature of it. To set up a Bitcoin wallet, one doesn't need to even spend the whole day doing it, because as you are setting up your wallet, there is already some guidance that asks you to create a new wallet or import an old wallet, but that's if you already have an existing wallet, and after you have created your wallet, you will still be asked to copy out your seed phrase and keep it in a safe place, plus some warning like, "Never share your wallet seed phrase with anyone." Like others have mentioned, if you're looking for a secure Windows wallet, then I'll recommend Electrum, while for mobile, you can go with Bluewallet. If you have any difficulty setting up your wallet or how to use it, then if you ask a question on the forum, you will still get a lot of help.

Honestly,  we all have found ourselves in this situation of being intimidated or trying to find an easy route to make all these crypto coins around us work for us with the best wallet, but tbh it's all about getting out of our comfort zone to learn this technology.

And just so you know, the cryptospace has never had a newbie wallet but for ease of use, mobile wallets are built with great user friendly interfaces which should be a great start and it's all about getting that familiarity to get any fear out and you will be a pro in no time, good luck Cool. Btw the way, if you can operate a smartphone or any computer without any difficulties,  trust me a crypto wallet won't be any difficulty just don't send coins to the wrong person  Grin

Second, i said some wallets are decentralized which means some are centralized which have the meaning that some wallets like Electrum and there is a centralized wallet like Binance wallet or Trust wallet
We usually use the terms "custodial" and "non-custodial" for comparing wallets and I don't think the terms "centralized" and "decentralized" are suitable for that.
A wallet is non-custodial, if it gives you access to private keys and it's custodial, if it doesn't give you access to private keys. If you mean the same thing by the terms "centralized" and "decentralized", take note that trustwallet gives you access to your keys and that's non-custodial.
Also, binance isn't a wallet. That's an exchange.

SO, all wallet are equal security and UI levels and to understand about wallets you have to learn the basic of them from different sources.
This is wrong, wallets don't have equal security, neither do they have the same UI, there are wallets that are more secure than others, like hardware wallets and good software wallets like Electrum, but there are also wallets that are not secure and very vulnerable to hacks, like web wallets, exchanges wallets, etc.
Because every wallet has sending and receiving options but some wallet are decentralized and provide some good level of securities like 2FA and Multisig etc.
'Decentralized' is an inappropriate term to use for wallets imo, it should rather be either custodial or non-custodial, mind you also that a wallet might offer features such as Multisignature and 2fa, and yet be unsafe, thus there are more things to access about a wallet than just that.
I did not meant by same level of security and UI as to be exactly same instead the basic levelof security and UI of all the wallets are almost same and i even backed by statement with an example of Sending and receiving UI of each wallet is almost same. But still if you think my statement need exact or correct meaningful words to explain things out correctly then i am more than happy to change them. But my intention were same as you are saying here.

Second, i said some wallets are decentralized which means some are centralized which have the meaning that some wallets like Electrum and there is a centralized wallet like Binance wallet or Trust wallet but yeah i can also use the words of custodial and non custodial i think in flow i said decentralized and centralized by hey they reflect almost the same meanings here.

Is there any wallet for newbies? If there's none, I think we should have a wallet for newbies. As a newbie who wants to learn and more about crypto, I've learnt that owning a wallet is very essential in managing one's crypto assets hence the necessity for anyone who wants to get involved in Bitcoin must have crypto wallet.

So I'm asking if there can be wallets for newbies that'll contain tutorial measures on how to use it and it'll also be user friendly to newbies thereby helping them to learn all the basics of Bitcoin wallet so as they grow and improve their knowledge about wallets and Bitcoin in general, they can advance to pro versions of Bitcoin wallets.

Base on your question, I observed that you are a real newbie in the forum, even though you were introduced by someone to the forum, your newbie knowledge is manifesting. Well there is no specific wallet for newbies, all wallets are for newbies, you can use anyone but the wallet which is good for newbies is Electrum wallet. It is very easy to use and navigate, it has simple features to understand. You can read this to know more about Electrum wallet

Yeah there are wallets in every types and in every color if you wants a pink one or your babe wants in pink then you could also get one we have all types of colorful wallets. What wallet do you need. hehe. Just kidding dear. There is no such thing like Pro wallet or newbie wallet. Because if you started to tag things out on the basis of ranks then how you will become a pro one day.

Why will you chose to be newbie because if you will chose the newbie wallet you will not become pro one until you use the pro one. SO, all wallet are equal security and UI levels and to understand about wallets you have to learn the basic of them from different sources. Instead of asking for one that is better for newbie.

Because every wallet has sending and receiving options but some wallet are decentralized and provide some good level of securities like 2FA and Multisig etc. If you try not to use them then how will you succeed one day in making your side completely secure.

Why newbie need that while there are reputable wallets available? You are just exposing yourself on danger since to many scammers hunt newbie and be their victim so if you go on new wallet which say they are newbie friendly then you might get scam with them.
Just follow what people suggest since they are the bes base on their experience. So try to grab those wallet which is tested by many people since scamming issue maybe less chance to happen on those platforms.

It is not really rocket science, possible for anyone to understand who has the ability to read, and understand what is the meaning of deposit/ receive and send.

Let's say you are downloading Electrum as your Bitcoin wallet, you can find the Download link on their official website.

https://electrum.org/#download

Once you downloaded the wallet.
Setting up your wallet:

1. Launch Electrum then You'll be prompted to create a new wallet or restore an existing one.
2. Choose "Create a new wallet" and click "Next."
3. Select "standard wallet option" and click "Next".
4. Choose you want to create a new seed then Electrum will generate a seed for you.
5. write down this seed and keep it in a safe place. This seed is essential for wallet recovery.
6. Confirm the seed by entering it in the next window.
7. Set a strong password for your wallet and click Next.

Now you completely set up your wallet.

Receiving Bitcoin:

Click on the "Receive" tab to generate a receiving address. You can generate multiple addresses if needed.

Sending Bitcoin:

1. Click on the "Send" tab.
2. Enter the recipient's Bitcoin address, the amount you want to send.
3. Choose the right fee as suggested by Electrum, you can also use https://mempool.space/ to find the actual fee and click "Send."

If you still need any tutorials then you can use Helpful Guides For Newbie on the Electrum Wallet posted by Ratimov.




Thank you for the very comprehensive guide and help on how to start somewhere I sincerely appreciate your kind gesture. I will try my possible best to put it to good use and also learn as much as I can learn from it.

All Cryptocurrency wallets are newbie friendly and you can read and learn all about Cryptocurrency wallets within a day I don't know what part of using a wallet you are having a hard time understanding, there are hundreds of tutorials on Youtube about creating a wallet it's straightforward and easily understood.
The most important is securing the seed phrase and private keys but creating a wallet is so easy, when it comes to securing a wallet there is no such this as a newbie for wallet, we should learn how to secure our wallet, whether we started just today or have been a user for many years.

Their is no need having a particular wallet for newbie because I don't see what is so difficult for newbies not to be able to set up a wallet.  The wallet is very easy for anyone to use, there is always guild that helps beginners on how to set up a wallet.  The wallet always instruct user how important the seed phrase is and the need to keep it safe  and from strangers.  The most important thing about a wallet beginners needs to know about is to handle seed phrase and to have have better knowledge concerning security that can prevent them from the hands of scammers.

There's no particular Bitcoin wallet designed for newbies but there are some good open source wallets you might want to take a look at like Electrum wallet, Blue wallet and Unstoppable wallet. Either of them is good for storing your Bitcoin but you still need to learn about wallet security. When creating a wallet you will be required to generate a seed phrase, write it down on a clean piece of paper and keep it somewhere very save. Do not disclose it to anyone.

You don't need to be a Bitcoin technical guru or crypto savvy to be able to use the wallets. As long as you can read, comprehend and follow simple instructions, you should be find. I would also like you to read the following Bitcoin wallet related topics written by forum members:

I. Helpful Guides For Newbie on the Electrum Wallet

There really is no distinguishment whether a wallet should be for newbies or for experienced. But if talking about the experience, many of the people that I've seen that are new to this are mostly using centralized and mobile wallets. They all have the same reason and that's all about the user experience and easy to use. So since a lot of threads and links have been given to you. You can start with those links and get an idea on what is a user friendly wallet or what you think is good and easier to use and then from there, jot down the differences of those ones and to the ones that are being used by the majority like Electrum.

If you have ever done online banking, using wallets to send and receive money will not be a big problem. You are already aware that you need to keep the password to your Fiat account safe. The difference is that you need to keep your wallet seed phrase and password safe. Most wallets have tutorials on how to use them and you can also find many tutorials on the internet. You should start using the wallet by transacting small sums. You can also practice using two wallets to send and receive funds between themselves to help you master the wallet.

In contributing to that I also think there should be tutorials held here on bitcointalk forum to educate newbies on the basics of crypto and also how to exchange them . Speaking from experience since I'm also a newbie ,I still find it difficult to understand how to change my coins to money .
You can not view videos in bitcointalk so don't expect to see such tutorials. But you can use the search option in the forum to get more information on wallets. This link also has a comprehensive guide on the use of wallets https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/general-bitcoin-wallets-which-what-why-1631151.

There are lots of tutorial threads about bitcoin wallets in the forum already created by members for newbies and anyone to access it for their own benefits, so assuming you're not informed let me drop a few here for your knowledge:

Which Bitcoin wallet to use (by Lauda)

Which hardware wallet to use (by BitCryptex)

Safely download Electrum (by DireWolfM14)

Electrum wallet for beginners and advanced users (by BitCryptex)

TUTORIAL: How to use Electrum (for beginners)

For a newbie that loves reading and wants to learn, these threads above with other ones that can be found in the forum is much pretty easy for any newbie to catch up as there's no unique wallet directed to newbies.
