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?
