Finally I did it (I am happy to join).

[Darker45]

That's great! Congratulations! And I'm honored to be one of those people who influenced you to get into it.

The first step is always the most important step. I hope this is just the start and you will have more purchases in the future.

If you're investing in Bitcoin or if you are using Bitcoin as a way to save, I can only hope that you intend to hodl strong despite the ups and downs. I don't know where you are from and whether Bitcoin is accepted as a payment in your place, but it is also a good contribution to Bitcoin's adoption and realization as a currency if you also have a certain amount in a different wallet for spending.

Welcome to the world of Bitcoin, and I hope you continue to have a positive experience with your investment journey. Remember, Bitcoin is a long-term investment, and fluctuations are part of the game. Anyway, good luck with your investment, and may it bring you great success in the future. I think consider using a hardware wallet for extra security. Keep your private keys and recovery phrases safe and secure and beware of phishing scams and fraudulent websites.

[bitterguy28]

That is a good amount to start up holding , Congratulations then mate and hope that you will add more as time goes by depend on the availability of your funds that can be risked and not just to assume that you will be rich sooner.

the market is going great now and yes be ready for some dumping to come sooner as it is expected from this Bull that we had in year ender months.

Just make sure that the funds entered are your amount to wait for the ATH or more and not as short term because you may fail in time expectation .

[peter0425]

Congratulations , lucky for you having that as your first step because I remember my first Investment in bitcoin back in the years is just 0.008 in which cheap to consider but that is the only amount I can afford to lose those days so I still started to buy.
eventually I added some and fewer till I reached how much I have now so thanks to bitcoin and thanks to this community.
I did not mentioned them for inspiring me but Until now I still remember many of them as we are engaging in forum for years.
now you are Inspiration to many that still having thoughts on how long and how much they are investing in bitcoin.

[gunhell16]

At least the time you did that, you really decided to buy and apply for a DCA for Bitcoin. You didn't pay attention to the price that bitcoin has now, which, if we look at it literally, is expensive in reality.

But even so, you thought more about being able to really save, and from what I've seen, it's actually not too late. So, congrats to you, and just continue with what you started here, dude. May you accumulate a lot before the right time to sell actually comes.

[ndutndut]

Congratulations, friend, you will be a lucky person in the future, especially if you continue to buy BTC gradually using the DCA method. I also salute you for purchasing your first BTC directly with an amount that can be said to be fantastic and having high self-confidence. I'm not surprised because you got advice from seniors from this forum, making you more confident in buying BTC in large amounts. .

The step you take, to store it in Electrum is also a smart choice because storing BTC on the exchange is not a wise choice. In the end I want to congratulate you on your first BTC purchase, my first BTC purchase with the amount of $200 btw.

[Alpha Marine]

[ I have save enough money through the help of my business (I have cars that I use for bolt business and I am making good profits from it).

As other members have said use DCA to buy more coins in the future. Since you said you have a source of income already and you make a profit from the business, it would be better to use DCA to buy coins at lower prices. It's better than saving a huge sum of amount because things might keep happening that'll make you use the money in your savings.

Although I bought my first Bitcoin through a P2P transaction with an exchange wallet, after receiving my first coins I have to resend them to an electrum Bitcoin wallet because it is safer.

Good move from you. Don't leave your coins in an exchange. It's what I've always been saying, exchanges are just a marketplace. Buy your coins there and move your coins to a non-custodial wallet where you'll have full control and security over your coins.

[famososMuertos]

Well done, less blah blah, and more action on the bitcoin idea, you are a good example...congratulations. Now hodl, sell, and/or buy, so, for everything else there is Trust. 

[DaNNy001]

I wanted to buy my first Bitcoin in the month of October but, based on some personal issues, I tried not to invest at that time.
However, that was the best time to buy some Bitcoin, but still, today I have finally bought my first Bitcoin. It is quite hard to do this, but I finally did it.
on this thread, I talked about my plans on how I can buy Bitcoin monthly, but I finally changed the plans, so I have save enough money through the help of my business (I have cars that I use for bolt business and I am making good profits from it).
Although I bought my first Bitcoin through a P2P transaction with an exchange wallet, after receiving my first coins I have to resend them to an electrum Bitcoin wallet because it is safer.

With the names above, I was so encouraged to buy Bitcoin and hold it for a long term.

With the help of the above names and those that I didn't mention, I was encouraged to start the investment as soon as possible.

Well congratulations on your bold step taking to buy your Bitcoin now and I must tell it's actually a good one because so many people out there would be thinking that due to the massive increase and with the fact that Bitcoin is set to drop again will be thinking that Bitcoin will drop in price anytime soon due to the halving so they might term this period as not a good time to buy but I say this is another beautiful time in the crypto space to buy because Bitcoin might continue this trend till next year and with the amount you have bought, seeing profits in your investment will not be that  long that's if the uptrend continues.

[Zlantann]

Finally I did it (I am happy to join). 

Taking the first step is the most important in the pathway to success. I have seen people that kept saying they would invest in Bitcoin but they never took that bold step. Congratulations, you are now a Bitcoin investor and I hope you will be patient enough to see your investment grow. Ensure you keep your funds in a non-custodial wallet and plan to buy a hardware wallet when you have a reasonable amount in your wallet. Learning about Bitcoin is unending so you need to keep researching the sector and this forum will be important in your quest to acquire more knowledge. As a newbie ensure your focus on only Bitcoin and don't be distracted by the enticing profits that altcoins offer. Altcoins are risky and needs more skills to handle.

[retreat]

It's a shame you didn't buy it directly in October when you were thinking about buying it because maybe you could have saved some money. But it doesn't matter, maybe you have your own considerations when you want to invest and I understand that.
And congratulations, you have started an investment which will definitely be worth it if you are patient and persistent. Surely you will learn a lot from this, because no investment runs smoothly, but rest assured that there are many people here who have proven that Bitcoin can give you profits and make sure that you will be that person.
You can discuss with many members on this forum if you feel confused or want to get advice, whether in terms of investments, wallets, etc. Don't ever hesitate to ask anything, because we are a community here that will help each other.

[Ruttoshi]

OP, I am so happy that you took a bold step to buy bitcoin, after much advice from forum members, and you never neglected them. It is not late as bitcoin price is still cool to buy and you bought with lump sum, which is a good buying strategy. I hope that you have plans to hodli your bitcoin for a long period of time, so that your investment can grow.

Since you said that you are into bolt, you should think of using a certain amount that will not affect your monthly expenses and also keep down an emergency funds to enable to use the DCA method to buy bitcoin weekly or monthly. With this regular purchase, you will be increasing your bitcoin portfolio gradually.

Congrats mate.

[Cvetik56]

Welcome and congratulations! It's good to see new people in the BTC community. I hope that you won't be disappointed and already know what to expect.

[umbara ardian]

Congratulations on taking the plunge into the world of Bitcoin ownership! The decision to invest in Bitcoin, especially with the halving and potential bull run looming, demonstrates your forward-thinking approach and understanding of the evolving financial landscape.

Your journey into the world of Bitcoin has taken an exciting turn with your recent investment and subsequent transfer to a decentralized wallet. This move signifies a deeper understanding of the crypto landscape and a commendable commitment to securing and controlling your assets.

The journey ahead promises to be filled with challenges and opportunities. By embracing the principles of self-custody, security, and discretion, you have positioned yourself to thrive in this dynamic and ever-evolving environment.

[Dr.Bitcoin_Strange]

Yeah, now you can boldly say you are a Bitcoin investor. It is quite interesting to see that when newbies join the forum, they usually get the required guidelines for making a successful investment, unless for those who create time to read instruments but find it very difficult to follow those instructions. If you are determined to read and follow the instructions of other experienced users in the space, then you will likely not have any difficulty in your investment process.

[KiaKia]

I hope buying $1000+ BTC isn't the end? Because price volatility is going to happen which can bring better buying opportunity, that's why DCA is better than going all in on Bitcoin.

Do not stop here, wait for some price correction, and DCA with small money from here and out, like $100 or $200, if you buy this BTC at $33,000 it's better than buying at $44,000 but it's better to have some Bitcoin right now than not having any at all.

Congrats on your first purchase and keep going hard on Bitcoin for long term, you are welcome to the HODL club.

[Bobrox]

Congratulation your first bitcoin purchase and hope you can be long term investor with diamond hands  , I am so excited with first bitcoin purchase you invested huge amount 0.033 BTC estimation values $1446 current bitcoin price right now. You have good mindset when investing in bitcoin without care current bitcoin on good trend but keep purchasing and don't  limit your self for another purchase in the future. You can accumulate later when bitcoin have little drop price but depend on your financial condition if ability purchasing huge amount is not problem but don't press your self have to invest bitcoin with getting loan or borrowing.

Enjoy your first bitcoin purchase and don't miss any update exactly when bitcoin have good or bad news for your planning in the future with second purchasing of bitcoin.

[Hamza2424]

I had 2 btc when their price was less than $200, sadly my situation forced me to sell them at $300, therefore I came to the conclusion that if we do not have economic stability we will not be able to maintain it in the long term.
but without a doubt it was a great investment.

Hmm, sad anyway it's never too late to enter Bitcoin because there are just a few halvings gone, a massive number is still on its way, and your entry can be still perfect just take a forward step. I'm happy I acknowledged Bitcoin in my early time while entering the financial world, I even know people from 2012 or 2016 somehow connected with crypto and even they dont have their targeted accumulation till now.

So it's not about from how long you are connected, it's from how long you are taking action. OP congrats on your first buying, a decent amount according to me you've got it in your first entry and for many it took many entries to fill this numbers of accumulation.

i am always happy when someone new buys bitcoin, i congratulate you for buying it successfully, and believe in bitcoin to be your long-term investment.  You said you had the intention of buying bitcoin last October but only now has it been realized, if only you had done it last October then i'm sure by now the value of the bitcoin you own would have risen 1.5x, Thank God you are not too late to buy Bitcoin, rest assured that Bitcoin is very suitable for long-term investment, not suitable for short-term investment ^{(unless you are a trader)}

[Stable090]

It’s a shame that you weren’t able to buy in your initial plan where the price was significantly lower but no matter at least you have invested already!

I don’t see anything to be ashamed of, we all can’t buy bitcoin at the same price. Some people will be opportune to buy at a cheaper price, others will buy at a high price, but if you are holding for the long term, I don’t see anything bad in that. The worst mistake everyone will make is not to invest. The set of people who think the bitcoin price is too high and won’t be investing right now will end up regretting why they didn’t invest at the current price later in the future, because the bitcoin price will be massive in the future, so we shouldn’t think the bitcoin price is too high, and because of that, we won’t invest.
