I don't think you should publish an image of the exact amount of bitcoin you bought

Image has been deleted, thanks for understanding the cause of such risky mistake and your concrete love and advise, I feel more excited knowing that I have been welcomed by my fellow bitcoin holder. Cheesy

I was messing with this thread because according to the title I thought the OP had bought a whole Bitcoin and that people were congratulating him and giving him merit without him providing proof, but I see he uploaded an image which he then deleted following sage advice for privacy.

As I see it is a small sum, I would also encourage you, OP, to continue to accumulate little by little but as I just said in another thread, I would recommend that you do so within a wealth building plan, the first step of which is that you have an emergency fund in your local currency sufficient to cover 3 to 6 months of expenses. Otherwise in case of any unforeseen event you may be forced to sell your bitcoin at a loss and this is something you have to avoid doing at all costs.

I also encourage you to change the title to something like: " I just purchased my first satoshis".

Everyone's congratulating OP but there's still a test that OP has to pass which is when bitcoin goes down much lower than what OP has bought his/her bitcoin, if OP doesn't panic sell or anything like that when it happens, then I guess OP does deserve that congratulations. Be careful about purchasing that Trezor wallet OP, some motherfuckers out there are selling tampered one and you never know if you will be meeting that piece of shit so be careful about that part.

Agree.

More than congratulations, the OP deserved a warm welcome instead because, as you said, the merit is in what you do with your coins, not in buying a few satoshis (almost all members here did it, right?). I thought after reading the title that he managed to buy a whole Bitcoin, but it is not the case, so welcome to the forum, OP, I hope this is the first step towards your financial freedom.

On the other hand, buying a hw is one of the best advice we could give to a newbie, but taking into account that one should only buy them from manufacturers or original retailers, and being aware that any personal data you share with them could be leaked (we saw it with Ledger not so long ago).

Hello guys congratulation to me, I just purchased my first bitcoin, it really feels good knowing that it's one of the best decision I've made so far, I am proud of myself even if the start up amount is small, I hope to add to it consistently by the end of every month. I purchased the coin on an exchange but am looking forward to buy a Trezor hardware wallet for my coin storage.

Well, congratulations, now comes the hard part and that is holding it as long as you can until you reach your selling goal and keeping it safe.

Don't wait too long to buy a Trezor wallet, and the most important is to be lowkey and never go around announcing that you bought and you're keeping Bitcoin. You could put yourself in danger and so are your loved ones, so don't brag about it you can say that you are supporting Bitcoin, but don't tell people the amount or where you keep it.

Welcome to Invest in First Bitcoin. First everything is much more special. The amount of bitcoins you buy right now is one of your happiest moments, no matter how many bitcoins you buy later, you will never find happiness anywhere. Everyone has a story about their first Bitcoin purchase. Many people plan to buy bitcoins but because they don't have money they can't buy bitcoins so they spend a lot of money saving money and investing in bitcoins. Maybe many people think there is no point in investing a small amount to share it again in the forum, but for the first person who has struggled a lot to buy bitcoins, this feeling is different.
Best of luck to you OP, hope you achieve better things in the future.

Congratulations to the OP! It's nice to see someone who matches his words with his actions. You did what you wanted: you sold the phone and bought some bitcoins. Don’t rush into the next sale, but just try to save some money if you have it and continue DCA in the future. By the way, always remember and be careful what you post online; the Internet and the forum remember everything. People are curious. I think your deleted photo doesn't hide anything, and it's still available to everyone.

Congratulations on your first bitcoin buy and happy to see that you realized that it's best decision you have made and you will know in coming years what you have got your hands upon so till then keep tight on your funds with full safety.As suggested go with open source non custodial wallets that don't share your keys and funds are safe.But always remember to keep your seed safe with you with full security as if they're lost you loose your funds.

I can't even express how exited I am, even if this is just the first phase, I believe the amount of knowledge I have accumulated about bitcoin through this forum will strengthened my emotion not to panic when the market goes bearish.

If you want to be comfortable and calm to save Bitcoin, you have to throw away the thought of Bitcoin price, you have to erase your mind about bearish and bullish. because it could bother you when unexpected. Just set the target when is the right time to exchange it. If I were you, I would steady my heart if 1 BTC only equal with 1 btc. so that if something happens later, you will take it easy and didn't panic like others.

Firstly, congratulations to you for purchasing your first amount of Bitcoin, and even if the amount you purchased was small, you are in the market now. Fortunately, Bitcoin is still at a suitable price for entry and investment, as we are still in a bear market. This small amount could double in the future after market conditions improve, the positives emerge, and our entry into halving, which has been considered for years to be one of the positive catalysts for the price of Bitcoin, it is good that it is a small amount that you can afford to lose, and this is one of the most important common rules.

As for Trezor hardware, its price may be more expensive than the amount you invested, and therefore... Holding your Bitcoin on one of the desktop Bitcoin wallets, like Electrum or Exodus, or on top exchange platforms is not a bad idea. In the future, after your amount of Bitcoin increases, and you have reasonable profits, you can buy a hardware wallet.

Congratulations on your first bitcoin purchase mate. I see how excited you are to have purchased your bitcoin from an exchange. I could tell the fact that it is with joy you made this announcement and it is a good thing to share good news giving room for others to celebrate with you. In as much as you have bought your first bitcoin, you should do well to safeguard your assets properly so as to avoid being scammed or hacked. Always do well to not keep that coin or assets not under your custody does not belong to you and as such exposed to uncertainties. You should always withdraw your assets to a safe place where only you have access to. Just as you have said, do well to get that wallet for the safe keeping of your assets.

Nevertheless, the bitcoin market is still very much down. You can still take advantage of this current market situation to buy more bitcoin.

Congratulations on your purchase. Did you have an easy experience with what you have done? I think you would be able to do it effectively (in earning) if you do that consistently as you said.

Some exchanges do offer recurring buy-ins so that you can invest continuously with cryptocurrencies, This would help you be more consistent and true to your word with investing.

Don't worry about too much on the market, you can never control that. Just focus on what you can control and you would be ok.

Well, congratulations op. Checking from your post history you really are someone who is determined, to the extent that you even went ahead as to selling your phone. We need more people like you in the Bitcoin community who are ready to make sacrifices for their own benefits. Soon, those people who refused to purchase btc when they have the chance will begin to regret why they didn't. Bitcoin is the key component to financial liberation. I will advice you now, to study more on how to protect your funds from potential threat(hacks) as most people new into the Bitcoin world tends to loss money to these scammers because they lack proper ability to securing their Bitcoin.
You might want to check these links for possible ways you can avoid hacks I hope it's helpful

Congrats! The most important next steps are to move your bitcoin to your own wallet, secure your seed phrase, and run your own node. This will be an amazing journey for you but you have already taken the first and most important step.

Owning bitcoin is the beginning of one of the most amazing learning experiences of your lifetime. Welcome to the rabbit hole. We are happy to have you.

Want top-notch marketing for your project, Hire me

Congratulation buddy,
I'm happy for you because you're accumulating your Bitcoin at the right time which is before the halving effect market, You're also planning to hold for the long term and have a focus on monthly DCA investment on BTC which is a good one. However, I will advise you to get a ledger wallet instead of a Trezor hardware wallet, and if you want to get the wallet get it from their official website or official reseller.

Congratulations, you have done so well buying bitcoin, this is a great achievement but one thing I'd so much love from you if you are already aware investing in Bitcoin is not to get rich quick but investing is about patience to hodl for you to make profit. It will be so nice if you understand why you are buying bitcoin and what you need to understand and know to succeed from your investment. I encourage to accumulate bitcoin to add to what you have already, just buy the amount you can afford to lose.

I don't want to spoil your euphoria, but you are just at the beginning.
You need to sell or exchange that Bitcoin now. After that, you can buy it again and possibly move it between your two wallets. After completing the entire process, you will certainly have a more complete picture of what it is all about.

Wow, you have made a great decision with your first Bitcoin purchase. It is good to have people like you in the Bitcoin society, people who can take risks with the little money that they can afford, although the amount of Bitcoin you have purchased is not the matter, but the real truth is that your Bitcoin is not in a safe wallet. You should try and send it to an ELECTRUM wallet just like as @Frankolala explained earlier. Please, next time you shouldn't disclose the amount of Bitcoin you bought, but now that you have removed it I believe you will not make the same mistake again.

My advice to you is that you should never be in a rush to sell but be in a rush to accumulate more coins, especially this season when you are so comfortable buying your first crypto-currency (Bitcoin).

If it is not necessary, you do not have to show the public the amount of bitcoin or coins that you bought. One of the first rules about cryptocurrencies is to never show the public your coins.

If you are anonymous on this forum and no Nigerian know who you are, that is fine. But if you are not anonymous, hide your coins. This is a small amount but in case of next time.

How much Bitcoin did this fella bought that will make them become a target? Not enough and also even if this fella is a Nigerian how will other Nigerians on this forum know who he is? The only way this will be possible is if the OP contact other members off this forum himself or herself and that can be a very bad thing to do, because we can't tell the type of people that are on this forum.

I don't have anything to hide on here because this forum has nothing to do with KYC and that's why I am loving it, if verifications are available then it's possible to become a target, also if this forum requires for phone numbers then it's another reason to become a possible target.

Many Bitcoin whales addresses are available everywhere online, and nobody knows who they truly are, OP use a nickname to open his account so I believe there is no way to get your identity revealed, unless you do it yourself.
