Welcome to the community!  It is always good having new people show up here to the forum and I also love meeting and becoming friends with people from other countries.  I used to be a bitcoin maximalist but I would encourage you to open your mind a bit more when it comes to this.  For example Ethereum is NOT a bitcoin competitor, and is all about smart contracts.  Or Monero, which is a privacy coin which differs from bitcoin.  That being said, bitcoin is certainly king.  Again, welcome.
