Congrats on the move, it's never too late, [despite new people thinking otherwise](https://old.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/rskpuf/i_have_only_600_bitcoinsi_missed_the_bus/). ONLY INVEST MONEY YOU CAN AFFORD TO LOSE.
Invest in your knowledge, learn about Bitcoin as much as you can. The Bitcoin Standard book is a must read. So is Broken Money by Lyn Alden.
Also, **don't reply any DMs**, emails, private messages on other social media, promising to buy Bitcoin from them or get rich quick by investing into some website. They all are scammers. Even the hot Asian chick, he's a scammer too.
**Price wise, nobody knows what the price will be tomorrow, next week or at the end of the year.**
**Try "Bitcoin ONLY" strategy for at least the first 210,000 block cycle**, you'll sleep much better. Newcomers lose so much money, holding tokens just because someone on YT told them to. If you don't like losing money in [failed coins](https://www.coingecko.com/research/publications/how-many-cryptocurrencies-failed), avoid.
DCA is probably the best approach. Once a week works best for me, but I'm getting paid weekly. This [DCA calculator](https://21vox.com/dca-calculator) might help to decide what will work best for you. In a few years, even $10 dollars a month can make a massive difference. This [DCA blog](https://er-bybitcoin.com/) is pretty interesting too and compares buying bitcoin VS stocks.
Now, don't buy some fake bitcoin at a spot ETF place or similar, **get the real thing** that you can withdraw anytime you want. Register at a proper exchange and buy real Bitcoin. Any of these will do [https://bitcoin-only.com/get-bitcoin](https://bitcoin-only.com/get-bitcoin)
Install (or buy - in case you're getting Bitcoin in Thousands of $) one or more of these wallets.
**Good wallet choices:**
[https://blockstream.com/app/](https://blockstream.com/app/) \- Top Security Features, Open Source and Non-Custodial
[https://bluewallet.io](https://bluewallet.io/) \- excellent, easy to use wallet, Open Source and Non-Custodial
[https://www.sparrowwallet.com](https://www.sparrowwallet.com) - top desktop wallet
[https://electrum.org](https://electrum.org/) \- Solid choice, Open Source and Non-Custodial, one of the oldest and most trusted Bitcoin Wallets. I prefer the desktop version but it works on mobile too.
**Lightning wallets** to consider (cheaper and faster transactions, great for small amounts):
[https://phoenix.acinq.co/](https://phoenix.acinq.co/) \- Phoenix - very good wallet, uses Tor for extra privacy, easy for anyone new
[https://blixtwallet.github.io/](https://blixtwallet.github.io/) \- Blixt - great UI, fast and clean. The app runs a full LND node on your phone and you have the ability to easily open channels to whatever nodes you like.
[https://zeusln.com/](https://zeusln.com/) Zeus - impressive wallet with many features, can even generate Nostr keys
There are also custodial LN wallet but I would honestly avoid using them because you have to trust the wallet operator not to steal your money. Their only advantage is that they are incredibly easy to use, although it might cost you big one day.
To keep up to date with spending wallets, visit r/TheLightningNetwork at least once a while and perhaps r/RGB in the future.
**Hardware Wallets** (to store larger amounts):
[Trezor](https://trezor.io/) \- Easy to use, no matter how new in Bitcoin you're. If you can afford it, opt for Safe 7 (**air-gapped**) and use the Bitcoin only firmware as it's safer than a multi coin software.
[BitBox02](https://bitbox.swiss/bitbox02/bitcoin-only/) - another great little device, opt for the more secure Bitcoin ONLY version (less coins = less code = less chance for a hidden bug or a backdoor). Sadly, this device is **not air-gapped**.
[Jade](https://blockstream.com/jade) - air gapped, fully open source, Bitcoin only, great features. There's a newer version called Jade Plus, it has much better camera and overall is a better build. I would go stateless instead of using their servers.
You can even [build it on your own](https://github.com/Blockstream/jade/), if you feel adventurous.
[Seedsigner](https://github.com/SeedSigner/seedsigner) - another DIY, fully open source, air gapped, Bitcoin only hardware wallet, not for you if you're just starting up but something to consider later.
[Krux wallet](https://selfcustody.github.io/krux/) - one more DIY hardware device, I love this one for many reasons. Similar to Seedsigner, it's fully open source, air gapped, Bitcoin only hardware wallet, that is not for you right now if you're just starting up, but something to consider at a later stage and/or to up the security of your bitcoin.
There's also Ledger, but I wouldn't recommend it as it's not fully open source, keep and already leaked customers' details, recently said they're capable of sending customers' keys out just with a firmware update, making is an expensive hot wallet. The opposite of what you want from a cold wallet. **Stay away**, save yourself a headache in the future. The same goes for many other hardware wallets that are too new or filled with too much of unnecessary shitcoin code. Stay away.
There's also ColdCard, great features but recently had a massive duckup, I would wait until all of their code is fully open source, preferably rewritten by the community before touching it.
Whatever wallet you'll decide to buy, purchase DIRECTLY from the manufacturer, no eBay, no Amazon.
Make sure the device is NOT preset, and you will generate your own seed words. Write them down on any piece of paper as well as the receiving address. Now wipe the wallet and generate a new wallet. If the seed words are different from the first set, you're safe to use it.
Find an option to set a passphrase and use it. This will boost the security to another level. Never store the seed words and passphrase together. Use a different medium if possible. If somebody finds both, they'll be able to steal your coin.
This little device will hold the keys to your money, that's the reason why you have to be a bit more careful. Also, no worries, if it breaks, you can replace it - as long as you keep your seed words and passphrase(s) safe.
Welcome to the rabbit hole and don't hesitate to ask if you have any questions anytime during your Bitcoin journey.
Also, [check the sidebar](https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/about) that's filled with lots of great info and if you have any questions, visit r/BitcoinBeginners or r/Bitcoin and look for the answers.

Included a silicon VS silicon carbide photonics table in the slides and noticed SiPh category includes CMOS compatibility but that's part of the advantage that 300mm SiC brings to HPC. Think post is clear, there are no commercial HPC products to compete with. Searches suggest performance improving hybridization rather than competing directly with existing products.

Why would you even buy that premined and centralized shitcoin, mate. It keeps losing VS Bitcoin since 2017.

\*TESLA DELIVERED 486,532 VEHICLES IN Q3 VS CONSENSUS OF 461,974

I get ya. But only if Ai is a bubble. Which im Pro Ai revolution and market seems to be still at this point VS a bubble that the MSM want to headline into reality.

I think the difference in PE is 20% China / 80% MOAT VS LESS MOAT, Meta has ROOM THE KEEP GROWInG

If people think this announcement was a complete surprise to the FICO executive team, then they are mistaken. While stronger competition is obviously not great for FICO's "moat" - however, they still have a strong business and have better, more predictive models available that are currently being held-hostage by FHFA director Pulte. Reputable lenders are going to want to go for the credit model and score that helps reduce risk for them. In normal circumstance, they probably don't care much about saving 10 bucks on a cheaper, less studied score when tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars are at risk dealing with defaults and foreclosures - unfortunately, in this situation, the lenders will offload these loans to be secured by Fannie and Freddie and then they will carry the risk instead. If people are awarded loans by using VS instead of FICO then end up defaulting on the loan then the American public will likely be left holding the bag if it all blows up.
With the current interest rates, economy, the market, and everything else - the opportunity is ripe to occur.
Lastly, as others have pointed out, these inconsequential savings are not going to drastically improve mortgage costs for borrowers. We are most likely talking about a fraction of a percent of total closing costs. For ease of math - Let's say the cost is $50-$100 for credit scores out of $10,000 in total closing costs - That is only 0.5% to 1% of that total for the credit score and the other 99% to 99.5% amounts to $9900-$9950 for everything else. I doubt that fraction is the thing stopping anyone from buying a house.
There are a large number of other things that would really help consumers - starting with relief from mortgage interest rates, or many of the other closing costs that drive up the total cost to purchase a home. This is mainly just virtue signaling, and misdirection by political figures. It does little to provide relief for prospective home buyers.
On the more conspiratorial side - it feels like someone or multiple people or groups have a vested interest in making sure certain companies get some help whether their products deserve it or not OR perhaps this is payback or a vendetta being delivered. Honestly, who knows? I only know that this isn't going to deliver what is being sold to the public.
