I hope someone learn one or two from my journey, if you can't afford Bitcoin, find a source of income first, enough to feed your needs and enough for savings or else you will go back to the last savior you have ( Your Bitcoin wallet) and spend it all to survive.
That's nice of you to write down your story here on the forum. It's always nice to read other people's story with cryptos, even if they made mistakes. The funny thing is that 2016 was also the year when I got bitcoins, but unlike you I didn't buy any books. I only used online articles and the forum here to learn about bitcoin's. Now with hindsight I wish I would have invested more time into my crypto education. My biggest mistake was in 2016/7 to sell all my coins again and not stick around for the long run. Looking at bitcoin as a great tool to save money longterm is the best approach.
