Good to be here. Read and observed the forum since I joined and must say I like how detailed the discussions here are compared to social media platforms. As a beginner I noticed some topics are mentioned a lot like wallets, security nd scams but I still feel there are always new perspectives. For instance my first impression of bitcoin is that it is more about personal responsibility than anything else. If you loose your keys, you loose your coins and that feels different from banks. For those who have been in the game longer, what was your first impression when you realized how it actually works?
Everyone is very accustomed to the banking system, where you can always contact the support service or pension office and complain that money has disappeared from the account, but in the world of cryptocurrencies, as you correctly noted, we ourselves bear full responsibility, if someone has lost the keywords for restoring a Bitcoin wallet, then no tears and no support service, because they will not be able to help in any way. Therefore, cryptocurrencies teach us to be very independent and careful.
