What is legacy bitcoin.
The basic meaning of the word "legacy" is a gift. But here you can also consider it a gift in the form of the bitcoin blockchain.Basically Legacy Bitcoin Network is the first network of the bitcoin it was introduced in the market in 2009.
Important Features Of Legacy Bitcoin Network - Legacy Bitcoin Network provides original bitcoin address.

- Legacy Bitcoin Network addresses starts from "1" so they can be identified easily.
It has slow transaction speed. - It also costs high transaction fees.

Wallet.
The important of wallet are
1.This wallet gives you full control over your bitcoins. This means no third party can freeze or lose your funds. You are however still responsible for securing and backing up your wallet.
Simplified validation - This wallet uses SPV and the Bitcoin network. This means very little trust in third parties is required when verifying payments. However, it is not as secure as a full node like Bitcoin Core.
Complete transparency - This wallet is open-source and built deterministically. This means any developer in the world can audit the code and make sure the final software isn't hiding any secrets.
Secure environment - This wallet is loaded on mobiles where apps are usually isolated. This provides a good protection against malware, although mobiles are usually easier to steal or lose. Encrypting your mobile and backing up your wallet can reduce that risk.
Basic privacy
Prevents spying on your payments - This wallet makes it harder to spy on your balance and payments by rotating addresses. You should still take care to use a new Bitcoin address each time you request payment.
Discloses limited information to peers
Peers on the network can log your IP address and associate your payments together when receiving or sending payment. - This wallet lets you setup and use Tor as a proxy to prevent attackers or Internet service providers from associating your payments with your IP address.
Full control over fees - This wallet gives you full control over fees. This means that this wallet allows changing the fees after funds are sent using RBF or CPFP. 8. This wallet also provides fee suggestions based on current network conditions so that your transactions are confirmed in a timely manner without paying more than you have to.
- My Preferences among the two is segwit.
Both the networks have their own benefits and features . But according to my interests i am going to prefer Segwit Bitcoin Network . Because it is very fast. It costs very low transaction fees. It is advancing day by day and introducing new features. It decreases the fear of the loosing bitcoin because of the fastest speed. Due to this you received your bitcoins immediately without holding it on the blockchain. So i prefer to use Segwit Bitcoin Network.
