I am proud of myself even if the start up amount is small, I hope to add to it consistently by the end of every month. I purchased the coin on an exchange but am looking forward to buy a Trezor hardware wallet for my coin storage.
You don't necessarily need to start with a big amount. like you said this is the first time for you to buy bitcoin and starting small is not a bad idea to get used to the market. Investing in Bitcoin is not about buying in larger amounts but buy according to the amount you can afford to lose. One of the best way to buy bitcoin is to buy in small amount, accumulate it against the bull market. If you wait to save money to buy in large quantity it can be stressful and which you may end up miss the opportunity of buying bitcoin.
