Thank you OP and all contributors on this thread. It's just about the best thread I have read here, for me still at the very beginning of learning about bitcoin. I would say my learning curve has been a slow and reluctant.  Although I was absolutely fascinated with the concept  bitcoin ever since I heard about it in 2016. It took me up to over a year and half later to buy some. And then another year to discover this forum. And the only reason I am still interested in bitcoin now is because of this forum being so informative. Otherwise..I probably would have just been to wary and discouraged, and left the whole scene.

There is a sincere camaraderie here, and valuable information for a willing student. I know I will be enriched in many ways by the info on just this thread alone, not only for the practical advise but for the atmosphere of encouragement. All these posts here understandable and useful even for a relatively newbie like me.
