Bitcoin is not going to be a major project in the future but it is already a major project, in simple words, BTC is the king and the first coin made ever. All other currencies are known as ALTs and that's for a reason. I will suggest, if you want to have a place in BTC bull run then buy some, but don't spend money by borrowing money or spend only what you don't care to lose. This line might be confusing for you, but believe me, it does not mean we BTC investors don't care for money.

We do but I meant to say only invest that money that if lost, will not affect your life.

You're welcome to the forum, I'm also very new to the business, but still a bit older than you so that puts me in a position to give you some pieces of advice. My few weeks on the platform has really changed my vision and thoughts about things, I've learned a lot, although still have more to learn because we learn evryday and learning never stops. I can't teach you everything about Bitcoin because I myself don't know everything but from the little I know, I believe I can give some good tips as a newbie in the Bitcoin adventure.

1. LEARN ABOUT BITCOIN
you need to learn as much as you can about Bitcoin, you'll not be told everything here so you can't rely on one source to learn about Bitcoin, read books, watch videos, look for helpful articles and PDFs that'll give you more insight about Bitcoin.

2. START LITTLE
If you ever feel that with the knowledge you've gathered, you're ready to start investing in Bitcoin, as a newbie I'll advice to start with little amount until you've really understood the market then you can put in more money.

3. KNOW THE NATURE OF BITCOIN
You need to be familiar with the fact that Bitcoin is a very volatile asset so before you start investing you need to be ready for the ups and the downs. Sometimes you'll experience a DIP, in times like that you should remember that there has been times in the past that Bitcoin has experienced even greater DIPS to help you overcome the fear and anxieties of a DIP and to also help you make the right decisions of never selling during a DIP, and also when you experience a Bullish Trend in Bitcoin, you shouldn't always expect the market to always be like that, else you might end up being disappointed.

4. STORE YOUR BITCOIN SAFELY
I'll also advise that you look for a very safe wallet to store your Bitcoin, such as a Hardware Wallet. ( Highly recommend). Because that's the primary thing, if you're jeopardize the safety of your Bitcoin then you jeopardize everything as well, including the safety of your investment.

5. WATCH OUT FOR SCAMMERS
Scammers are working tooth and nail everyday, coming up with new strategies and innovative technologies just to swindle people's hard earned money so you need to equip yourself with enough knowledge regarding how to avoid being scammed because if you're not careful you can loose your funds to a scammer in a twinkle of an eye.

6. LEARN HOW TO DCA
DCA simply means Dolar-Cost Average. As a Newbie, you might feel Bitcoin is very expensive now and hard to invest in, if you're thinking that then DCA method is for you, with DCA you can store up enough Bitcoin without breaking a sweat. It's process where you simply a bit of your income, be it on daily, weekly or monthly basis, you can choose a percentage of your earnings and use it to buy Bitcoin, just like putting money in a piggybank and before you realize it, you must've saved up enough Bitcoin for yourself, rather than waiting to have the money in bulk before you can invest.

And it's never too late to invest in Bitcoin, everytime is the right time, so if you have plans to invest, don't let anything stop you from joining the moving train.
There goes, I hope these tips would be of help to you.

[General] How to earn Bitcoins
[General] Bitcoin Wallets - Which, what, why?

One thing you need to know is that bitcoin is not a get-rich-quick kind of thing, and there's no time that's too late for you to join. Now that you have made up your mind to start owning bitcoin, you need to start wherever you can. You can start by getting yourself a wallet in which you can save your bitcoins, and you can start DCA in order to accumulate what you can before your desired time.

Read and learn about how to protect your wallet, as you are your own bank. If you mess with it, there is no means of recovery, and if you are careless with it and your key gets in the wrong hands, your holdings will be gone.

Buying and holding bitcoin is safer when you hold it in a wallet that you have control over; saving in exchange is highly advised against. Below are a few bitcoin wallets that are also recommended for use in this forum, as well as many other ones.
