I congratulate you on the purchase of your first Bitcoin! This is obviously the begining of your investment in the digital space, as you grow, you will notice more avenues to invest and it will also expose you to most of the events in the space.

Try to make it a constant thing to invest in digital assets, its never a waste and it exposes you to a whole lot of possibilities.

You seem to be referring to some kind of need or wiseness to invest into shticoins... @wallet4bitcoin, and surely that is not true. It is probably dumb to be wasting time to be buying any shitcoins at all, and if you have some kind of a gambling tendency, then maybe limit your investing into shitcoins to no more than 10% the size of your bitcoin holdings.. and that might even be too much.

Getting exposure is not when you're sleeping under a roof with fire on it, thay is obviously risk taking, considering what is as devastating as shitcoins for an investment is nothing but taking risk, if we are Investing, we must know that bitcoin is the cryptocurrency that we can have rest of mind in with it's Investment that will create no FOMO, the funny thing we have to remind ourselves about is that none of these shitcoins will first appear to is as being shit, they will make some weird performance to trick us for their short time profitability and then we make an investment in them.

Hahaha...It's not a must we make a thread about our first Bitcoin on BTCt unless we want to show off or attract attention for merits. In my cryptocurrency journey so far, what've learned that is also crucial to Bitcoin itself is privacy, even if you do not want to anonymize it, privacy is important. For instance, this is the way I view it, if I deposited $500 in my newly opened bank account, why should I be broadcasting it? If others will show off, I don't think it is wise for security and privacy concerns. So not doing it at that time even saved you as far as I am concerned because the less people know about you, the better when it comes to money.

I agree with you on what you said but some people don't really know how to keep such achievement to themselves and I believe that since nobody knows who is who on this Forum just username, that's why the OP decided to make it look like a public announcement which it is.
Fine is good to share good news but the way we take it sometimes is not how is suppose to be.
To be frank with you, I too would like to get my first BTC and start up something as the OP did, is everyone's dream especially those who are new in Bitcointalk to get their first BTC but not everyone would make a public announcement about it, safety first.

Your points are good and I always try my best not to judge all people the same way, but you know what, most of these things are not real, it's just that they do this for a main purpose, there are many of them, it's never new. I didn't give such a thought in the first place and I only tried to remind you of the core purpose of Bitcoin itself from the onset, not the way people are turning it to be these days. "Safety/privacy" first.

This is why I see it mostly out of maturity (if real) seeing people showing off the amount of Bitcoin they've purchased here, why? Also, one thing that is peculiar to the people who do this is that a lot of people give them merit for it. They now follow suit, which is the only reason I believe they broadcast this kind of private transaction, nothing else.

Nonetheless, it is a very good avenue to help one's alt grow fast.

I noticed that we have many members having this same style of making post which might not be real, and you're right with what you said. These days in the Forum is like some people have to do whatever it takes to get that attention, recognition and to top it all the merit. People can go as far as to lie to get that merit or whatever their aim is.
From what you said, I don't really believe some of these achievement we see here on the Forum. Having that amount of BTC and showing it can be true but the question to the OP is "are you the owner or you just saw it somewhere and decide to let us take a look and make it look like it's yours".
Is really hard to tell who's saying the truth on the Forum.

You guys were all right, it's not everyone making an investment thst may have to come come onboard to share their achievement to the whole world just for making bitcoin Investment, instead i think this is another stage to pick up the challenge in learning many things required to Know for an investor, taking advantage in learning, knowing the security measures to take and what kind of wallets are best recommendable for their use, investing is not the end to the road map of having a successful acheivements will bitcoin, instead OP is just getting started.
