Topic: Finally I did it (I am happy to join). - page 6. (Read 1997 times)

You have taken the first step. But never think that this journey will be easy. You will face many ups and downs along the road. Only those who can endure these and stand tall, are those people who will become successful. But don't worry much, I am sure you will learn everything throughout the journey. I should've advised you to use the DCA method to accumulate BTC in this unpredictable market, but as you have already bought it, it is good enough.

Never think that you have invested at the wrong time. As we all know, there are no good or bad times when it comes to Bitcoin investment. The moment you invest in Bitcoin, your willingness to HODL will determine your profits and losses. Everyone knows it and I will say it here again. The longer you HODL Bitcoin, the more profit you can make. Aim for a long-term investment plan with Bitcoin. But if there's an opportunity, you should take that as well.

Congratulations for that and you are in the Bitcoin family at this time because there are still many people out there who do not have the opportunity to run investment. There is no detailed explanation of how you buy first for Bitcoin because what I read you changed the initial plan about the DCA pattern. If you have a large amount of capital then wait for the right moment to buy because the moment of decline will usually provide a large amount when you have the capital to buy more bitcoin.

After that, just make a long -term investment plan by storing bitcoin in a much safer wallet like the electrum that you say here. Everyone will try to take advantage of any conditions to buy bitcoin even though their capital is small but will not stop their intention to buy, because we know that bitcoin is one way to reach the stage of financial freedom.

Exactly, I believe that if not for those name that he mentioned he wouldn't have purchased his first Bitcoin now, if not for them I think that the OP would have not buy up till this moment because he didn't do as he planned at the time he created this thread https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.62948934 but what really matters now is that the op has finally purchased Bitcoin and also move them to an electrum Bitcoin wallet, that's what really matters now.
There have been so many individuals here that have not make such move and they are still not ready to buy even a single satoshi.

Congratulations on your first bitcoin purchase. If you keep at it, you're definitely going to be in for the great things that crypto is able to offer people. What I could suggest now that you're able to start off your crypto journey, you might wanna work on the consistency part of the spectrum. It's good enough that you're able to invest that good amount of bitcoin this early in your journey, but what would make this situation even better is if you're able to invest crypto on a consistent manner, your investment will eventually accumulate and along with the profits, you're looking at a self-sustaining passive income stream that would support you when things go well and would help you out to survive when things are in the red.

I know for some this might not be possible given their financial circumstances but I say that if you're able to spend as much as 10 dollars on a netflix subscription or whatever the fuck you're sinking your hours in and money today, you would be able to spare at least 10 dollars to secure your financial future.

Investment especially during these days is a must especially if you want to survive and actually live quite comfortable in the future. With that amount, you actually have a pretty decent start.
The only problem is that what you are going to do with that investment, do you want to DCA or trying something else? There are so much possibilities you can do with that, so I hope that you are all prepared with any outcomes.

Best of luck.

Congratulations for your first time  buying Bitcoin. Just hold it for a long time. To keep your bitcoins safe, try to keep them in a hardware wallet if possible. And if hardware wallet is not possible then keep your seed code with important care. Hope bull run will come soon and you can make good profit.

Maybe the OP was also very inspired by the names mentioned above and started running his investments properly and correctly. Yes. This requires strong intentions, discipline, patience and not rushing, plus continuing to update market developments so that the results are maximum. As a reminder, I really agree with what you said if the OP doesn't make that decision.

I think that is fine for some people not to have enough courage to invest, I mean for sure there would be a reason why they don't dare to invest like they are struggling financially, lack of knowledge, don't know how to start yet, etc. They can take their time to build up their courage to invest cause if you are rushing cause you feel you are being left behind like FOMO, it would just have a negative outcome. That is why it would be better to do your research than surf the web with anyone's opinion due to it could cause you unwise decision-making by FOMO.

Yeah! others cannot get enough courage to make their first step into investing in bitcoins because they are scared to lose their money because of what they read on social media and some posts that are hostile against bitcoins. Most likely they were influenced by those others who have no money to invest to begin with and they are just talking negatively about bitcoins. that's why when it comes to this, you need to take your time do your own research, and step out there to do and get your first bitcoins.

Your points are good and I always try my best not to judge all people the same way, but you know what, most of these things are not real, it's just that they do this for a main purpose, there are many of them, it's never new. I didn't give such a thought in the first place and I only tried to remind you of the core purpose of Bitcoin itself from the onset, not the way people are turning it to be these days. "Safety/privacy" first.

This is why I see it mostly out of maturity (if real) seeing people showing off the amount of Bitcoin they've purchased here, why? Also, one thing that is peculiar to the people who do this is that a lot of people give them merit for it. They now follow suit, which is the only reason I believe they broadcast this kind of private transaction, nothing else.

Nonetheless, it is a very good avenue to help one's alt grow fast.

Congratulations on your first Bitcoin purchase. Generally we know that to pass a thousand miles one has to start with one step. You have successfully done that. Moreover you are using Electrum wallet to hold bitcoins for a long time which is a good and safe move. On the one hand you benefit from holding Bitcoins for the long term while also ensuring maximum security of your assets. But since you are still a newbie, you should take time to learn everything better so that you can take better steps in Bitcoin holdings in the future.

Congrats on your purchase of your Bitcoin, this amount is still huge and I guess we/I recommend to buy a hardware wallet it's just a small amount to you its for your additional security of course, this market ride you will experience can be mix emotions due to market conditions, and I guess ideal if you set plan until when you will hold the assets and take profit so you can enjoy your investment, lets all wait and see the outcome of the market this coming 2024!.

A lot of new crypto currency investors are always happy even if they haven't started making any profits yet, However I am very much excited for the OP as he has taken a bold step to invest into Bitcoin the amount that he can afford to lose.
My first purchase was not UpTo this amount the OP bought and that's why I am very much excited for him, although there are still other investors here that have more that what the op is possessing right now.

I agree with you on what you said but some people don't really know how to keep such achievement to themselves and I believe that since nobody knows who is who on this Forum just username, that's why the OP decided to make it look like a public announcement which it is.
Fine is good to share good news but the way we take it sometimes is not how is suppose to be.
To be frank with you, I too would like to get my first BTC and start up something as the OP did, is everyone's dream especially those who are new in Bitcointalk to get their first BTC but not everyone would make a public announcement about it, safety first.

Hahaha...It's not a must we make a thread about our first Bitcoin on BTCt unless we want to show off or attract attention for merits. In my cryptocurrency journey so far, what've learned that is also crucial to Bitcoin itself is privacy, even if you do not want to anonymize it, privacy is important. For instance, this is the way I view it, if I deposited $500 in my newly opened bank account, why should I be broadcasting it? If others will show off, I don't think it is wise for security and privacy concerns. So not doing it at that time even saved you as far as I am concerned because the less people know about you, the better when it comes to money.

As for the copy, though you took it too far, yet I believe he can always fetch it if he wants. I don't think the history of such transactions often disappears from the wallet they make the transaction. But for me, I wouldn't even let it get to that, the reason is that this is not a big deal. As a matter of fact, I have not seen investors taking their investments personally like that, not even when bought at a huge price. After all, it's a means to make money nothing more. Lastly, I join you and others in congratulating the OP if the narration above is real.I hope he can add more Bitcoins and quickly save the money in an Electrum wallet has said.

I think this initiative of yours will attract more users. As you decided to invest in Bitcoin long ago but could not due to money crunch. If you had bought bitcoin earlier you might have profited more at the moment because we have seen the bitcoin market grow a lot, and it is almost the most ATH currently. If you had bought bitcoins that time you would have profited a lot anyways as a native of ours and to all the seniors knowing about bitcoins and then investing it is really nice to hear. But you must invest in Bitcoin for a long time and invest with patience. I pray for you that you become a successful trader and hold on to Bitcoin for a long time, it will surely lead you to success.

First of all, I wanna congratulate you as you are now finally a bitcoin holder and indeed that you are holding a good amount for a new investor.
you have trusted bitcoin that good and surely you will earn that in the next coming years depending how long you are planning to invest and Keep Holding.
as long as you know that  investing is risky and only invest you amount affordable to lose.

Congratulations, you have done it and of course it is a great achievement for you. The feeling is different when a new investor invests in Bitcoin after planning to invest for a long time. When I first invested my first investment feeling was different than can ever be explained. If you have invested a large amount of bitcoins, good luck with the investment. You have invested and many will be inspired by your investment to invest again.

Op your starting point in the cryptocurrency journey is very nice. I appreciate your courage and effort to buy at this time of the Price. And I believe you are hodling for a long term and not for short term. And you do well as you immediately transfer them to Electrum wallet for more safety. And as others have said, don't keep only one backup of the seed phrase and at least split them it for like three places so that when you misplaced one you can still have another. With this amount of Bitcoin you have gotten in the next bull market of ATH, you will be one of the new millions in your village.

Congratulations on the purchase of your first Bitcoin. It's always beautiful seeing new entrants taking a bold and decisive step like this. What you're hodling is a gem, so hoard it, guide it, treasure it and don't be in a hurrying to sell it. If you've spare cash, you can add more to your bag by doing Dollar Cost Averaging (DCA). Remember, Bitcoin investment is long term, so you've to be patient for your investment to yield meaningful reward. Welcome to the club.
