Bought my first bitcoin in localbitcoin yesterday! 

Quite convenient to use. Just have to wait for a good deal. Almost bought at RM4600 but the guy's local bank was full!!!  Never heard of somebody's bank full of money! 

In the end managed to get some at around RM 4547.

Localbitcoin gives it's own BTC wallet. Say, is there any BTC wallet that is considered the safest? Or all BTC wallet is ok? 

I thought these days it is no longer cost effective to make money by mining bitcoins, as technology advances too quickly and there are so many large scale mining farms in Northern Europe and China already; the investment alone that you need to put into getting the hardware and the electricity bills to run them 24/7 will be higher than the returns you get from mining.
It's good for learning and the experience of it, but I do not think it is a viable investment for the average person.
But maybe I'm wrong.
Are you able to obtain a decent profit from mining? Do share your experience with us. I know a few of the forummers here are miners as well.

What I meant was cloud mining. I researched a lot about trusted cloud mining provider and then arrived to genesis mining. So far so good.

Congratulations mate.
Now, the very first rule of thumb in investing in bitcoins......NEVER EVER put your bitcoins in your online wallet, especially wallets offered by exchanges, other than a small amount that you are planning to trade or use in the very near future.
If you are planning to invest in the long term (i.e. keep and hold, instead of frequently buying and selling), then I strongly recommend investing some money in a good hardware wallet, and practice cold storage (i.e. keeping your bitcoins offline, where it can never be hacked or stolen).
There are several good and trusted brands out there, like Trezor, Ledger, Coolwallet, etc. that you can look up in Google and review yourself.
I cannot stress this enough......online wallets are NOT suitable for storage of cryptocurrencies, no matter how secure they say they are, or how many factors of authentication they use.
Cold storage, no exceptions!
:thumbsup:

Thank you very much for your valuable information. Looks like I will have to get a hardware wallet as my aim is long-term investment. ok, will do some searching on hardware wallets. Hope it is easy to buy one.

I also new to bitcoin but read online is to only put small amount in the online wallet like on coinbase.com and blockchain.info
hardware wallet i saw review online at www.coingecko.com/buzz/cryptosteel-review

Cool, I have no experience in cloud mining.
How much returns are we talking about?

I just bought Trezor hardware wallet from their online store. Expensive but for investment, no choice. USD 99 for the device and USD 29 for courier. 

Today, bought some bitcoins from Remitano. Quite convenient too. Surprise that nowadays, interbank instant transfer is really instant! 

After buying the bitcoin, I notice my bitcoin wallet address changed. I panicked because I used the previous address.  After that, I realized that the addresses will change, I think after a few transactions?  Will read more of their FAQ later on. Anyway, received my bitcoins after 30 mins... phew!

After upgrading to 2 TH/s, I got around 0.0006 a day.

Why need that hardware wallet? To store password?

That's something like RM 1k per year if you run it full time.
Not bad at all.
To store your private keys.
Your bitcoins are not really yours, unless you control your private keys yourself.
Bitcoins are pretty much like cash, i.e. whoever holds your private keys will have the full unobstructed access to spend them......hence a hacker who is able to hack into the exchange may be able to steal all the private keys stored by all the users of the exchange, and therefore "steal" your bitcoins.
In a hardware wallet, the private keys are stored offline, disconnected from the internet, and therefore can never be hacked.

Private keys consist like long long password? Must buy such hardware to store it?
