Can you tell me why do you want to buy some BTC ? We all know why you should but I want to see what your though process is.  

[AverageGlabella]

Learn how it works before investing other wise you do not know why it is going to rise and cannot have the belief required to invest. I invested a large sum because I believed in Bitcoin but I would never recommend any one to invest in btc because of fomo instead do your research and if that does not convince you why you need to invest do not do it. When you are researching you will find your answer on how it works and you will not need a mentor

OP, first of all you should be aware that every investment is a risk, not just bitcoin.
Before you invest anything in bitcoin, I advise you to first get well informed and analyze the crypto market in detail.
You need to understand that this is a long-term investment and not a way to get rich overnight.
In accordance with your financial capabilities, you should make a concrete investment plan and have a clear exit strategy.
I also advise you to diversify your investments and invest in different asset classes.

Forget all complexity and see Bitcoin as the currency you are familiar with with more advantage than any government issued currency. See it also has a currency that has removed the middle man centralized factor that is common amongst the financial institution which makes a Bitcoin holder responsible for their coin through a cryptographic method.

It is basically a peer-to-peer electronic payment gateway that makes anyone in possession of the private key locking the coin to spend it only once.

To buy your self some Bitcoin you can either use the decentralized exchange or the centralized exchange but if the centralized exchange is your convenient way to buy do well to move your coin to your cold wallet once you are done purchasing.

Trevor or ledger wallet is amongst the best preferred decentralized wallets you can chose from

Basically the bitcoin market works like any other investment market. You can buy at any price and sell at any price as long as you feel profitable, but without analysis you will have a hard time finding good areas to buy.

Understand how the market works, that is the recommended step for you. But it's a good idea to understand what botcoin is, instead of just expecting to profit from it.

OP, it would be great if you could be more specific about your questions. What's unclear to you? Are you unsure about where to buy Bitcoin or how to store it? Or do you need a general understanding of what Bitcoin is and how it works?

It is great that you have interests in bitcoin and you wants to invest in bitcoin.
So, if you seriously want to buy some bitcoin, buy bitcoin from a reputed exchange. Plan to invest the money from long time. Everyone wants profit from their investment, so if you want some good profit from your investment hold your coins long term. After purchasing your bitcoin from an exchange transfer them to a wallet, if you dont want to invest in a hardwallet, you can use electrum wallet.

OP is from Nigeria. A lot of people come here from there, and of course, their interest in Bitcoin is understandable. Problems with the local currency force people to look for better payment methods, and I am glad that in this country you can pay with Bitcoin, as I understand it, quite calmly.
But OP, why are you creating a topic here in the newbie's section? It would be better to get comfortable in your local section first; you have a very good support group. Understand that by asking general questions on one topic, people simply will not be able to provide you with the entire amount of information.
Just look at the name of the forum—the entire forum is dedicated to discussing Bitcoin.
Grow and learn; everything is in your hands.

[Alisha-k]

No amount of wisdom given here will enlighten you well enough, just follow the links shared though, go to YouTube to study more, ask questions where necessary and most of, get you a mentor to put you through.

Many have heard the word Bitcoin, but not many have the courage to learn more about it, let alone invest. You seem to be on the right track if you first try to understand how it works and not blindly invest.

Your case is such that only you can help yourself. All necessary information about bitcoin is freely available. Read, watch and be enlightened. This forum is the right place to learn more about it. Use it.

Responding directly from the topics. What i want to tell you concerning Bitcoin is that you have to understand the basic the basic things of Bitcoin because going to investment, so the steps to learn Bitcoin and comprehend it's conditions and regulations is through online tutorial and especially through a YouTube videos, And secondly through this community you found yourself. I will partially say that almost 50% of people who are here acquired the knowledge of Bitcoin through bitcointalk. so therefore with observation and research you will understand Bitcoin in the community.

[Adbitco]

As matter of fact you are at the right place and I know too well before coming to this forum someone's might have explained things to you about the important and usefulness of it. But that notwithstanding, there are lot of material to read and get educated and also you can use the google to learn more about bitcoin or you can visit the bitcoin direct website https://bitcoin.org/en/.

[HajiBagi]

You are welcome to the forum, mate, but first you must understand many things about investing and think wisely before you begin investing, and before investing you must learn more and more about bitcoin, because everything in life has two sides, which are positive and negative, the positive side of bitcoin is very good and it changes people's lifestyles from zero to hero, but the negative side is when the price drops and you can't sell it at the particular time or you can't sell it at the particular time or you sell it without no gain or lose, so I advise before you invest learn much about bitcoin and ask for anything you don't understand,although no one is perfect, but I'm sure we have many people who are very smart and understand bitcoin here and can direct you through the process, feel free to ask questions mate.
