No... don't do it.
Welcome to the forum and to this thread wagmi.
At the time that I am responding to your above post, you ONLY have 3 post (and the above post is your first one).
It might be a good idea to provide us some ideas about your bitcoin history.. yet of course, that is up to you regarding how much you might say in any given post, but just so we get some ideas about how you got to this thread and how extensive your bitcoin history might be (or might not be). Some members come to this thread with almost no bitcoin history at all, even though they might be mostly bitcoin focused. When I first came to the forum in early 2014, I rarely ventured outside of this thread to other parts of the forum for several years.... so no problem if you want to make this your primary posting location... several members of the forum ONLY post in this thread.
Also hi and yes, it's nice to be at Bitcointalk, where Satoshi was active himself.
I can tell you ofcourse how I registered here. For signing up, I used a VPN (because of privacy) but unfortunately, my Account was blacklisted by devil fees and I could not post at first. It was recommended to pay a fee or ask someone to whitelist my Account, where LoyceV offered to whitelist Accounts if we can convince him to whitelist us.
My first try was rejected but I tried again and convinced him luckily.
I signed up at Bitcointalk because of Bitcoin.
I can also use reddit but reddit is a little bit confusing when you add a comment, new comments can be added for each comment and it's just a mess for most replies. By using lines and connecting related posts, reddit tried to make it better (and also a new design) but it's still a mess.
Pictures are not enabled to post at reddit, a big noo noo. I like pictures to be contained in a post.
Recently, a good long-term trading post (TA) for HODL was posted by someone on reddit but it was deleted soon after, I really don't know why.
Unbelievable!
Bitcointalk is easier to follow and to post pictures but Bitcointalk's design is very outdated.
For Bitcoin, I can say: I really like it!
Bitcoin is a very elaborated technology, where we don't know how Satoshi was so wise to design it. It's really rare to get such a good tech like BTC, it really has a chance to be an universal good.
In opposite, I'm sceptical about Altcoins.
Altcoins have made huge promises but not delievered.
Most Altcoins are a sophisticated scandal waiting to explode and we are screwed if we are not far enough away from it.
Like for example Ripple, it's a dishonest, centralized Shitcoin.
Or Polkadot, it's better but it's not capped, infinite supply to enrich bagholding stakers like devs and frens. What a swindle.
Or Solana. Solana is a complete fail, it failed for two times already for several hors, nobody could send a tx. People still cheer Solana, buy it and nobody cares. Solana is a joke!
Ofcourse, Craig Wright is also a scammer, he should go to prison or at least pay a huge fee for his continued lies.
I could add much more Shitcoins, much more Scams and so on but we all know about Shitcoins.
It's just a question of time, when a Shitcoin will be forgotten or failed.
And I hate r0ach, he's an idiot.
Finally, I have to admit my fear about trading and also hacks, so my first choice is: HODL
So you know it now.
Days like today are a good reason for HODL.
And days like today are a good reason to avoid Shitcoins.
Your post is not really saying much beyond your preferring bitcoin over shitcoins, and yeah we do not like to talk about shitcoins in these here parts - unless the discussion is somehow related to bitcoin, and just saying shitcoins are worse than bitcoin does not really seem to be saying much.
I know that many of us are wanting to preserve some privacy, but there are long term bitcoiners who are still stacking sats on a regular basis. Frequently tell people that I did my initial stacking in my first year of bitcoin (which would have been mostly 2014); however, I know that I had continued to be nervous about not having enough bitcoin for at least two more years. I would not want to tell you what to say, but I hardly feel that I know shit about you from that response - and any shill troll could have written something vague like what you ended up writing.. whether actually wanting privacy or not..
