Thank you for the replies so far... I am staying to feel welcome,  and how to contribute more to the forum as I gain the knowledge....

Hello All
 
I just completed my first steps with coinbase.com this afternoon. I am pretty literate w/computers but new to bit coin. So far, it looks like I can buy and send BTC's from coinbase. Am I wrong?
I still have to wait 48 hrs until I can proceed, but do have questions.... Someone said to set-up an Blockchain wallet and I did, but do I really need to? If a forum member could assist me with these questions, I would be deeply grateful.....Try not do beat me up to bad on my first post..... Also, Hello to everyone and I am happy to be here. This is a new but exciting venture for me.....

Sincerely,

MoneyHungry
