Bitcoin investment makes me think a lot.
Before investing in anything, it would be logical to do research. It doesn't matter if it's BTC, stocks, real estate, or buying a new car, quality research and preparation will generally save you money and time. If after all we decide to buy (in this case BTC) then we should apply what we have learned and plan how to make that investment in the most convenient and safe way.
Option A : I will buy BTC for $100 from my friend, which sounds safe and simple. But do I know where my friend bought BTC, what are the tax implications if I want to sell one day?
Option B : I will buy BTC from some exchange, but I need to send money from my bank. Is my bank crypto friendly and is it safe to give my data (KYC) to crypto exchange?
What about storage?
Option A : I have PC that is used for surfing, watching movies, torrents - is it safe to have desktop crypto wallet on such PC - is my OS safe enough, do I have at least some AV protection?
Option B : Is it worth it to buy a hardware wallet, can it guarantee me complete security?
Of course there are options C, D E ... but the point is that we need to approach everything we do in a way to consider as many options as possible, and mostly all the answers are already on the internet.
