These threads like this that come from newbies sharing their experiences when they bought their first Bitcoin are becoming more and more popular nowadays.
I mean I've seen some of these types of threads getting some merits from some high-ranked users. Is this the new trend already?

Don't take what I said seriously OP. I'm just happy that some people are willing to help you buy Bitcoin. There are some people out there who want to invest in Bitcoin, and they have all the knowledge that they need, but the only thing that hinders them is the lack of capital to use to buy some Bitcoins for the long term. You're lucky that there are people around you who support you because there are some out there who don't even support their family members in what they do and that includes investing in Bitcoin for some reasons.

It's good that you have a friend that's willing to help you buy Bitcoin. I just hope that you take care of those Bitcoins, and don't just buy now, but continue to accumulate.
