So, is it safe for me to store my coin there or is there any other wallet I can use to store my coins? I know of electronum but apart from the electronum is there any other wallet which is safe?.

Electrum is safe if you have good security and privacy literacy. In this case, you're still relying on the help of others to buy your bitcoins which means you need to learn more about how bitcoin works.
What do you plan to do with your $110 bitcoin stash anyway? I think you don't need to look for the safest external wallet if in the next 1 or 2 weeks you want to cash it out in case its value increases.

Long time ago I was working so hard to buy Bitcoin but I couldn't because I had no job, but starting from this
month of January I have gotten a new job that pays me 5 figures a month and I just use $110 from my salary to buy Bitcoin,so as today is the last day of the month I just bought Bitcoin with part of my salary.
However, I bought it from a 3rd party through the help of a co-worker at my working place.

So, is it safe for me to store my coin there or is there any other wallet I can use to store my coins? I know of electron but apart from the electron is there any other wallet which is safe?.

It's a good sign that you have deposited bitcoins, but you can't properly secure bitcoins in an exchange wallet. Exchange wallet is not safe I am not reasonable to use it because it is controlled by others. And privacy is not protected because it is verified by your photo or ID card. So you can use electrum wallet or mycelium wallet. Currently hardware wallets are most useful for bitcoins but you can save on hardware if you don't have financial problems. Or among the software wallets you can find Electrum and Mycelium wallets are the most secure and least likely to get hacked.

another question here, you are earning 5 figures but only spending 110 dollars from that salary when you told us above that you are working so hard to invest in bitcoin?

$110 is a decent amount of money. For someone earning five figures in naira, I would say OP outdid himself. As a rule of thumb, you should invest what you can afford to lose. If $110 is what OP can afford to risk, that’s his prerogative.

Other than scrutinizing the OP, do you have any advice for the OP. I have been seeing a lot of threads from newbies about how older members are harsh towards them. Reading your comment on this thread, I understand why they feel that way.

Exactly. If $110 is already huge for OP, we must respect it or maybe OP is just trying small first and then slowly adding more, it depends but as per OP, it is already decent money.

We all know how risky cryptocurrency is and volatile it is.
For now, let's appreciate what OP did regardless of the amount.

Buying 110 dollars in the first step is a big deal because he has taken one step. The most difficult step is the first step. The rest of the steps can be done very easily, but taking the first step is not for everyone. Now he has taken a step, now the way will be paved for him, that is, his thoughts and concerns will start working for a very long time, and provided that he does not go back from his goal now. He bought the bitcoin at $110. Now if Bitcoin goes down, that $110 will become $80 so he shouldn't sell it amd do patience then his future will become very good.

right , I even started investing in Bitcoin using 20dollars but I am proud of it because those days Bitcoin is just amounting more than a thousand dollars and I felt that 20usd is the amount I can afford to lose those days so yeah I am happy with that.
While OP starts with 110$? that is so much high for me when I am started , so Congratulations OP , you did a good job here and I believe that in the future you will add more and more to this starting investment as the Job pays you well.

Always Act Smart and Play Safe With Your Funds

Please take correction is not electron but is Electrum to avoid future damages and also take a proper view of what you are writing or saying otherwise you would end up having the wrong wallet stored in your phone or system later on you come back here to announce how you have lost huge amount of bitcoin to scammers. You know buying bitcoin isn't the real problems the case here is how to make sure that bitcoin is properly protected without being taken away from you.

There are lots of people who invested in bitcoin but as a cause of wanting to double their profits within some limited time range they got into scam hands by sending their bitcoin to another site where they are deceived to receiving some specific amount in some hours made them not to endure and at last they sent their money there and lost everything.

Do not leave your funds in centralized exchange because is not safe and to whatever that happens to the exchange automatically your fund is gone and you can't hold anyone responsible for that so, it's better you download Electrum wallet move out your funds from exchange account to non custodial wallet where only you can have access to your wallet.

Play Bitcoin PVP Prediction Game

Congratulations on your Bitcoin purchase. You can continue with the second buyer until you have a lot of Bitcoins. You can use the DCA method to buy Bitcoin regularly every month.

You can store your Bitcoin on a trusted exchange, where you buy Bitcoin temporarily. But it would be better to store it in your own wallet to control it directly. You can use a hardware wallet like Trezor or others.

The important thing is that you can continue your investment regularly using the money you can afford. And determine the period for how long you invest. Don't panic about changes in Bitcoin prices because Bitcoin prices always change.

Oh shit man, you've started investing bitcoins yet can't choose a wallet to store your bitcoins in.You should use non-custodial wallets to keep your invested bitcoins safe and secure. The advantage of keeping bitcoins in a non-custodial wallet is that you can give your bitcoins to someone whenever you want and withdraw your bitcoins whenever you want. That means you will have complete control over the non-custodial wallet.There are different types of non custodial wallets they are Bitcoin Core, Electrum Wallet, Hardware Wallet. You can keep your invested bitcoins safe and secure in these non-custodial wallets.

OP, I was interested in reading your post history because there was a lot of skepticism among users about your claim of a five-figure salary. But now that I see that you are passionate about being not only a Bitcoin talker but also someone who has some funds in Bitcoin, I want to congratulate you on your purchase. I don't see that you need any advice about the Electrum wallet, since you know about it and how to save the seed phrase. But reading that you had to work a lot to buy Bitcoins, I would like to advise you to allow yourself those amounts, the loss of which will not change your life for the worse.
I am sure that you have strong hands and that you will be a good holder of Bitcoin, but in the future, set yourself the goal of buying a hardware wallet since storing your valuables on your phone cannot be completely secure. Good luck!

There are many exchanges that provide bitcoin purchasing services and you don't need to use a third party to buy them because currently there are many exchanges. Investment in bitcoin has a level of independence and we do not need a third party to run it and in fact the unique thing about bitcoin is that it does not require other people to run the investment. It's best to use a trusted exchange to buy bitcoin and you don't need to use a third party to buy it.

The level of asset security really depends on what wallet you store it in and it seems that it is not Electron but Electrum. As time goes by, you will get used to learning the accumulation process so that there are many opportunities that you can use to buy bitcoin. Welcome to the bitcoin community, I hope you remain consistent in collecting and most importantly, don't panic under any circumstances. Learn a safe wallet to store bitcoins because it is quite an important step for anyone.

Op, congrats on buying bitcoin for the first time. First you bought $110 worth of bitcoins which is a good amount. If you can continue to invest this amount every month in DCA method then your investment amount will be very big in this year 2024 itself. Based on Bitcoin's past history, we can expect Bitcoin to exceed the maximum ATH in 2025. However, this requires you to continue patiently, and hold for a long time. Many people here have given you different ideas about wallets, you should accordingly transfer your bitcoins to good wallets instead of keeping them on exchanges. Hopefully if you can hold your investment for a long time then surely you will be able to profit a lot.

Congratulations, this is the right step taken in the right direction. This is a decision you won't have to regret in your lifetime. Now you have to apply decipline as you have started this journey. Make sure that you have the right mechanisms set in place so you won't have to empty your bag, rather you will keep adding to your bag from time to time.

Five figures a month you say? In what currency if I may ask?

That's the main question, haha.
If he says he earns 5 figures a month but will "only" invest like 100$ this doesn't add up.

So I doubt it will be $ or euro. Since he is posting in the Nigeria section (I just checked) I guess we have our answer. The problem though, 10000 naira is only 11$ . Grin

That means even a 6 figures payday wouldn't be much money.

Anyway, it's always nice to hear stories from new bitcoin holders and supporters. Hopefully the support will only rise from here so that btc never dies.

Well congratulations on your first Bitcoin purchase, although there is a thread that discusses Bitcoin achievement records etc so you could just post your first Bitcoin purchase there.[1] Also making use of search button [2] regularly is very crucial in order not to duplicate or repeat things too much.

If there is any good wallet that people will suggest you should use it's just electrum but there are other wallets that you could use e.g sparrow wallet, Blue wallet etc but not there are not as good as electrum which you already know of.

Be careful, that's electrum and not electron. Because if the spelling is wrong, you're likely to download the wrong wallet and lose all of your holdings in a glance.

Based on his posting history, he's from Nigeria so likely it is the Nigerian Naira.
