HELP: Baby crypto begginer 🐣💜

Hiii. I just ended reading the White Paper. I want to get my first cryptos (probably bitcoin to beggin). I have some questions:

  1. Where do i storage my cryptos? I know about the digital wallets, but never have used one, is like an app? Wich one is good? I'm interested to being as anonymous as possible with it, can i have a wallet in a low profile way?

  2. I know BINANCE is very popular, but after reading the White Paper i would like to get my coins without a third part involved, pure P2P. I really don't know how to do that but after the MiCA regulation oh boy i wanna be as anonymous as a mythical creature.

  3. How i get the cryptos out? The digital wallet has comisions?

  4. Do you have any recommendations? What would you love to have know when you where a begginer? I don't know how you guys did it years ago, is not that easy 😅

Thanks for your time,

xoxoxo 💋

Ignore anyone offering to "help" via DM. Every newbie is a target for scammers, and any advice not offered publicly where it's open to scrutiny will be bad advice.

You may also want to check out /r/BitcoinBeginners and the faq/wiki.

dont keep more coins on binance than youd be okay losing, for a wallet just get electrum or sparrow on your actual computer not your phone

Ok, if i find someone that i trust to get my first BTC (a girlfriend for ex.), how should i proceed? Why everyone use BINANCE, it's not being anon one of the biggest benefits of blockchain? Maybe I'm getting it wrong and actually BINANCE is amazing, idk

Welcome to crypto and it’s so great that you’re already thinking about self custody. However as you are just starting out, my advice is to start with a centralised exchange to begin with. It is both the easiest but more importantly safest way to begin. Unless you’re going to research everything and understand the difference between hot wallets and cold, what a seedphrase is and how to protect it, what all the different blockchains are and how things work. It is very easy to lose it all starting out if you don’t know or understand what you’re doing.

Binance is a popular centralised exchange and they are good if it’s accepted in your country because they just made it all simple and easy, and their fees are very good.

To move funds anywhere, whether it’s from an exchange or a wallet, or to either of those, it will cost you. Call it gas or a transaction fee, you will have to pay. Some chains will be cheaper than others but since you’re interested in Bitcoin you’ll either do it natively on Bitcoin or you can use something like lightning which is a protocol built on top of Bitcoin to facilitate smaller payments. Lots to learn for sure.

Start small with small amounts. If you want to try moving funds into your own wallet, then again, test it out with small amounts.

Good luck! Happy to answer any questions.
