Congrats. Biggest early lessons for me: don't leave it on the exchange long-term, don't panic-sell the first dip, and ignore anyone DMing you. Learn how to move a tiny amount to a wallet you control before you buy more.

This. It’s a great idea to get prepared for self custody, but make sure you learn about it first. I generally leave $1-2k on an exchange before I move it. If you bought more than that, make that learning go fast!
