Bitcoin enthusiasts think in different ways and are confused about what is right and what is wrong. If you are in this situation, then first you should know about Satoshi Nakamoto's cryptocurrency. Why and for what reason the journey of cryptocurrency started. No matter which sector you invest in, there will be risks, to be risk-free, you should first know and understand Bitcoin well. You should do more research about Bitcoin. Because Bitcoin is known as the best currency of the present time. And Bitcoin is also in high demand. There are Bitcoin investors in all countries of the world. So before investing in Bitcoin, you should keep your mind and eyes and ears open. Because there are many possibilities of hacking in Bitcoin and the cycle is endless. People think more about how they can steal your money. You should always be careful. When investing in Bitcoin, you need three things.
1/ Money
2/ Patience
3/ Caution (Being Active)
You cannot invest without money. So whatever you do, try to keep some money aside for investment.

If you invest without patience, you can lose your money. Suppose you have invested for 4 years. But after a year, your patience waned, and you sold your investment in hesitation, due to which you will fail in your investment. However, if you can invest patiently, you may be successful. Try to invest as long as possible, it will be more profitable if possible.

Caution, whatever you do, first of all, caution is needed, such as using a helmet while riding a bike for caution. To make life risk-free. Or wearing a seatbelt before driving a car is also a precaution, so that the risk of death in an accident is low. So you have to be careful in any work. The same is true in investing.

Do more research about Bitcoin, I hope it will be profitable for you.

It's no news that countries have started to think of the prospect of making Bitcoin a legal tender. I'm sure Our Nigeria as a nation have also been considering the pros and cons of such prospect. If, and when it comes to fruition, how does it affect our economy. Surely, we'll have a competitor and alternative for the unreliable nature of the naira, and a great alternative for the supposedly pushed proposition of the Enaira. Obviously, it would solve a lot of problems. Like the inflationary trends and a great store of value. The changes and effects could be limitless.

Well, it was a while ago, but it was something unfamiliar and complicated, yet exciting at the same time. Seeing that you could send money to the other side of the globe anonymously through a system that didn't depend on banks or governments, and that had variable transaction times (depending on the fees used, or if there is a huge dump of transactions just when you send yours), was all quite different and left me puzzled. But the more I learned, the more sense it all made.

To be honest, my first impression of Bitcoin was very scary and that's why I was afraid to invest in Bitcoin at that time. Even though I invested in Bitcoin, I was initially afraid of Bitcoin wallet management. But gradually I got used to everything and Bitcoin seems to me to be the most secure. Because there is no authorization required to make a transaction here, I am the controller of my Bitcoin. So there can be nothing more secure than this. Those who are still confused about Bitcoin are far behind. And I think the first impression of Bitcoin was very scary for everyone who came to Bitcoin early.

I completely agree. I have a friend who basically introduced me to the world of cryptocurrencies. He once got a lot of ETH practically for free, but then he forgot where he had stored the seed phrases for the wallet. For a long time, he tried to figure out how to regain access to it, but unfortunately, he never succeeded. Sometimes our own carelessness prevents us from becoming very wealthy,this is a clear example from my life.

Having used centralised platforms for a long time, it is common to be scared of becoming your own bank. The responsibility of keeping your keys safe from both online and offline threats might be scary. We are used to shifting financial responsibilities to centralised organisations. But as we gain more experience, we realise that it is far safer than keeping money in banks. At first, I thought it was too risky to keep Bitcoin, but lessons on privacy and security have allayed those fears.     

Agree with what has been said above. After years on this forum, your first impression is hardly being discussed. At best, people ask that to eventually correct some of your assumptions about crypto, which doesn't have to happen if we're discussing crypto in-depth. Your misleading assumption will get ironed out eventually.

As for your feeling that personal responsibility is important to secure your crypto, that's not wrong. Self-custody is great. Some people dislike it because it feels inconvenient at times, but trust me, you'll accept that trade-off if you know how often people lose money because they trust an exchange yet that exchange got hacked or something else happened to them. 2FA or something isn't a magic tool either. You must understand what they do before you use them.

your first impression does not really matter as such. what matters is the truth about bitcoin and the whole ecosystem which helps protect you from losses of any kind. As a newbie there is going to be so many wrong impression you will have most of which tilt towards an ideal believe about bitcoin that are actually too good to be true. that is a common thing with most investors and forum users but with time, you should learn by going through threads on the forum which will guide you into real fact about bitcoin and not just an impression that is based on some random narrative you got outside.

As for your keys, it is as important as your coin so if you value your coin, you sure want to ensure that you keep your keys as safe and secured as possible.
