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?
My first impression after joining the forum and knowing about Bitcoin was how it was different from other cryptocurrencies, for those who had encounters and learnt their lessons after venturing in one or few altcoins before joining Bitcoin. In Bitcoin you begin to see strategies on how to invest, and ways to secure your investment, the Bitcoin blockchain was another thing to wrap one's head around, as a beginner to be honest everything at that early stage weighs a lot until after some time you begin to understand every single thing gradually.
