Could you elaborate on the process of depositing Bitcoin using Electrum and Bitcoin Core? As a cryptocurrency enthusiast, I'm curious about the specific steps involved. With Electrum, for instance, would I need to create a wallet first? And how would I ensure the transaction is secure? Similarly, with Bitcoin Core, would I have to download the entire blockchain to deposit? What are the key differences between these two platforms when depositing Bitcoin, and what are some common pitfalls to avoid? Your guidance would be greatly appreciated.

After entering the address, proceed to send the desired amount of BTC from your Electrum wallet. This transfer will initiate the deposit process.

Electrum differs significantly from Bitcoin Core in terms of blockchain synchronization. With Electrum, there is no need to download the entire Bitcoin blockchain.

In contrast, Bitcoin Core functions as a full node wallet, requiring a complete download of the blockchain. This allows users to verify their transactions directly on their own computer.

The advantage of Electrum's lightweight approach is speed and efficiency. Users can quickly access their funds and initiate transactions without waiting for the entire blockchain to sync.
