Beginner here — looking for safe advice on getting started with Bitcoin

Hi everyone 👋 I’m a woman who’s completely new to Bitcoin and I want to start slowly and safely.

I’ve read some basics, but I still feel a bit overwhelmed by things like exchanges, wallets, and self-custody. I don’t want to rush in or make avoidable mistakes.

I’d really appreciate beginner-friendly advice on:

How to buy Bitcoin safely as a first timer

Whether it’s better to start with very small amounts

When (or if) to move BTC to a non-custodial wallet

Trusted beginner resources (videos, guides, or books)

I’m not interested in trading or leverage — just learning the fundamentals and building good habits.

Also, please no DMs — I prefer advice in the comments so others can learn too.

Thank you so much 🤍
