When I got to know about bitcoin from my friend last two month, she told me more about bitcoin, she also said investing in bitcoin is good. And she asked me to invest on bitcoin that it will be of help to me, she said for more guard she asked me to join this forum bitcointalk. And I accepted her request, so I decided to make some research about bitcoin and this forum bitcointalk because it takes a lot to join a forum, after making my research through the help of the internet I decided to create an account and join this forum. And to my biggest surprise the username has been used, so I used another name then it works.
I will be very much happy to acquire more knowledge in the forum. I am also planning to buy my first coins this week.
Your friend did a wise thing in advising you to invest in Bitcoin as bitcoin is one asset that can grow astronomically with time, but one thing you must understand is the fact that bitcoin requires your time your patience to hodl before you can start making profit from your investment, as it's not a quick money making scheme.
It's also advisable for you to know what kind of investment that can suit you most, if its trading, or wanting to hold on to your assets till it grows gradually. Any of the options you wish to adopt, you will need to educate yourself about the best strategy suitable for you to go about it, the forum will even help to answer for some questions you would want to ask.
It's good to know that you want to buy your first bitcoin, that shows your really interested in investing, and becoming a practical bitcoiner rather, and that's a good one.
