Also make sure that you have set up your wallet where you will be holding your bitcoin and make sure nobody has access to the seed phrase. As a newbie feel free to ask questions about bitcoin here anytime you feel lost and need directions. People here will assist you.
There is no need to figure out the bitcoin wallet prior to getting started investing in bitcoin, yet of course, any bitcoin that is purchased through third parties such as an exchange is not really your bitcoin until you move it to a private wallet, so it is good to learn about various kinds of private wallets and figure out how to get into the practice of keeping most of your BTC off of exchanges, yet at the same time, you don't need to learn those things right away.. It is probably better to get started first and then figure out the order in which you want to learn things, while at the same time learning that there are risks in keeping your BTC with any third parties, including but not limited to exchanges and/or also getting lured into products that tell you that they will hold your bitcoin and pay you yield.. Newbies have to be careful to avoid those kinds of ways of custodying their BTC and/or getting too greedy trying to earn money with their BTC prior to just building up their BTC stash and figuring out ways to hold it privately and also holding their BTC in ways that they UTXO sizes are not too small. .. so UTXO management can become an issue and a concern, even though it is not something that has to be learned right away and before buying bitcoin. Of course the more BTC that you buy in the beginning, then the more justifiable it is to make sure that you are not holding it on exchanges, especially if you start out buying several thousand of dollars of BTC or several months worth of your income/expenses worth of bitcoin.
There is so much truth and clarity in what you have said here. I noticed that beginners always tend to be curious about figuring out which wallet is best for them to secure. Before starting our investment we must know how to do things right especially keeping our coins safe. There are thorns of wallets out there. With just a few clicks on the internet -(' what are the most secured wallets to store my bitcoin') Google will provide lots of wallets and it is in our right to choose which we want after reading their features. Its now general that people prefer listening to strangers online and YouTube before choosing a wallet. When they can choose for themselves. To be honest, beginners should not be afraid to disagree with strangers on the internet, or even with so-called experts that have podcasts, social media pages, and resources on YouTube. Because at the end of the day, the investment/security decisions they will be able to understand and convince, trust, and uphold are the ones they made for themselves when the going gets rough or uneasy. But if they choose to listen to someone's opinion or advice then it gets to be for the right reason and they should know that they will take responsibility for their action, not the person which they took their advice or opinion from.
I have decided to invest in Bitcoin, I know about DCA and DCA's feasibility, and I have gained a rough understanding of Bitcoin and Crypto. But I still don't know much about them. But I decided to start investing in Bitcoin. And in DCA I will continue to invest and slowly learn everything about crypto. Hopefully I can move forward in this way.
This will be one, if not the best decision you have made this year and you won't regret it. Learning about Bitcoin while you believe and start your investment is very important. While it is important is very critical to hold on to our Bitcoin during the dips when everyone is panicking due to market fluctuation. DCA is a valid strategy to start using as a beginner and am glad you adopted it. Many investors new and old learnt the hard way. Whether you experience a dip or increase, just relax because Bitcoin is likely to continue to go up over time. When you DCA and keep learning you will be fine with your investment.
