Finally! I have found an easy way to buy bitcoin.
Someone introduced me to coinbase. I signed up to it and i entered my banking details.
I uploaded 400 dollars to my usd account, and now i am finally going to purchase my first bitcoin.
I am very happy about this. It's about time i can easily buy bitcoin from my bank,
So my question is: Once i buy my first bitcoin, what exactly do i do with it?
Do i leave it in my coinbase account? Is it safe there?
Or do i transfer it to my desktop computer?
I'm not familiar with this yet. I plan to always keep a balance of 1 bitcoin in my account for 5 years to 10 years,
the rest of the bitcoin i buy i will spend online.
What is everyone's advice?
Download a bitcoin wallet and transfer it to that wallet, also print out the private key of that address(do not share your private key).
If your computer crashes and u have your private key, u will be able to get your coins back

Also backup your wallet.dat and your private key on a usb stick. So u safe
