Good luck with your bitcoin investment. You can definitely profit from bitcoin investment if you can hold bitcoin investment for long term. Long term investment will surely bring you success in future. But one thing you must say as a new investor, there are many times when the price of Bitcoin goes down a lot. Don't ever think of selling your bitcoins in despair after seeing them fall in price. It is natural that the price of Bitcoin will fluctuate. Your patience can take your bitcoin investment far.
When I first started investing, the Bitcoin market went down a lot within a few days of investing. At that time I got frustrated and sold the invested Bitcoins. I suffered a lot of losses. I was new to investing at that time. No. As a result, I have faced a lot of losses by investing without understanding in the first place. I have now gained a good understanding of Binion and recovered those losses very easily.
It is normal to make mistakes in the first place. Volatility is in nature on the market prices of crypto and with loss, those are temporary as long as you are not selling. Endurance of loss is crucial however, circumstances are really pushing people which yield to permanent loss. Again, such thing is normal as long as you learn from it. But I never assumed things to be easy even if you understand how things work in this industry. Prices are way unpredictable and patterns are only guides and will never guarantee certainty.
Please don't tell people how much money you make or even that you own bitcoin if you can't help it. It's no one else's business but your own and that kind of information should be kept private.
I want to say congrats though on the new job! Just make sure you're well diversified ( no matter what anyone here says, remember they most likely aren't licensed financial professionals) and you understand that your bitcoin balance can highly fluctuate, up or down.
You've got plenty of advice here already but I'm a fan of Trezor, Cold Cards, Jade and I guess BitBox wallets are pretty legit too.
It is okay to share what you are doing with other people but be careful with the informations you will be sharing with them because impressions could last. May people are having misunderstanding of what this technology is all about. Many people think that investing in this blockchain will yield to easy profit and as we all know, it is not that easily done, if it is true then many people should be rich by now right? But given that ony a few are succeeding it should be an enough warning to those who are planning to invest, to learn its concept first and avoid being too optimistic of it.
