Thank you for the nice welcome. I have already seen that there is also a German group. This forum is perfect  Smiley
Yes it is perfect for so many reasons, feel free to express yourself on your local board too. I believe you want to learn about Bitcoin and also have plans to accumulate for yourself in the process, so I'm recommending this thread for you Custodial vs non custodial wallets. You'll definitely need a wallet, so always use non custodial wallets (that way you own your private keys)

I know you're new, but I want to summarize some important points for you, so you can secure yourself in your Bitcoin journey. "Anything that is too good to be true" is a scam, for example Bitcoin giveaways (stay away), if you want to download a wallet to use, follow through the official website, keep your private keys to yourself, be careful of malwares (don't click on links anyhow) etc, there are many more, but you'll learn about them as time goes on, this is just a few of the things newbies fail to learn and get scammed, so I'm giving you a heads up, and finally, you can ask questions in this forum, before testing the waters/taking a step you are not too sure of, it has helped me and many others, it will help you too.

Welcome mate.
