As we notice there will always be new people that hear about
BTC, or digital money, or cryptocurrencies and so on....
From my personal experience and point of view we have very different groups in the space, as you will have people really intend to understand
BTC and what its for as you will have those only interested as of an investment to gain more FIAT or to get rich fast (please don't be that last one you probably get burned)
In different threads I already explained I entered
BTC cause I was a poker player and a friend that plays as well introduced me into the world cause of payments and good sites to play at that time being .....
What I do know is that when I received my first
BTC I didn't no sh*t, absolutely nothing never heard of it before in my life....
So I was lucky to have a guy that helped me around, he set up my first exchange account, later when he convinced me to the earn
BTC, buy
BTC when possible and apply the HODL strategy with those HODLing coins.....
This where my first moments and like almost instant after he bought me a cold storage Ledger and installed it with me so I knew how to do it....?
For me I was a guy with 0-computer knowledge, just google and download some music, that was it, today cause of being here and try to learn about
BTC I manage to do a little bit more......
What I wanna say is let this forum be your guy and knowledge to
BTC as all the older and knowledgeable members will help you out or will point you into right directions, I did gained a lot of help with being on this forum.
Probably the biggest step for a total new guy is to set up a safe place to store your coins (future wealth), how do we deal with this.... I would suggest don't make it to difficult at a start and just open an account at an exchange where you can easily send money to, from then just send FIAT, buy
BTC and maybe at the meantime order a cold storage device.... Ledger Nano S or blue or ... or a Trezor as they all work perfectly fine (Do read the instruction carefully and don't throw away anything especially the seed with recovery words)
Then get the coins of the exchange and send them to the ledger device, there will even be threads that easily explain how to generate an address to send
BTC to and so on....
When you have them on the device then its just hodl and try to gain more .....
As you are now a guy with
BTC on a device its highly recommended to continuously read over the matter and try to gain as much knowledge you can, the more you know the better you will feel and the harder you will work to buy/gain more of
BTC, cause the first step of buying is completed but now you need to manage and learn yourself so the investment will give a satisfying feeling and not a stressful feeling, because we now
BTC still is very volatile and that could be a bit difficult if you don't understand it fundamentals but when you do learn and do gain knowledge then all those UP and DOWN movements will just become noise that are just of no importance...
When you will have this feeling then you will try to find your best and most effective way of gaining more and more of
BTC, this will be different for many of us some day-trade ( I strongly suggest you don't do this, cause most are not successful and lose amounts of
BTC instead of gain some)
For me its always been through poker and RL work, where I try to separate some FIAT to buy extra
BTC...
For those with interest and are employees of a company I would suggest to take their monthly pay check, and what they keep asside for savings just divide in two or some kind of % and put that same amount into
BTC every same day of the month no matter what the price is at that time.
In this forum you will see tons of guys with very much knowledge over the technical side of bitcoin, but do realise most people are no computer tech's and do not know as much as some of the experts, do read there stuff, try to learn but F*** even after this long of time being in the space I read what is Chinese for me every single day, BUT this doesn't mean we are less of an effective HODLer/
BTC-investor cause that surely isn't the thing..... as long we have the right long term perspective of what
BTC is and what it can become then you doing perfectly fine... The nice technical side of
BTC is a very difficult thing and will take forever to fully understand/learn for most of us, but i'm not bothered a bit with that, cause I do know i'm a very effective HODLer with perfect and safe cold storage of my coins, as a good method of earning/gaining more etc and thats just the most important for me.
So for all the very new guys in the space, do know there are plenty of longer time Bitcoiners in this space that are still massively learning, just do remember to learn the BUY and STORAGE, as to CONVINCE yourself that
BTC is what we really need in this world!
Btw also its a very satisfying thing when you HODL, and separate some
BTC to use for RL issues, thats what I try to do a lot.... cause believe it
BTC can be used for a lot and more and more people are doing so....
User count keeps increasing and everybody that is able to convince their self is still an very early adopter.
Do know, not because your not a computer scientist doesn't mean you cannot manage to buy and HODL, cause if I can, then please belief me that I say everybody can if I can
