Welcome — researching before you buy is the right instinct, and it doubles as scam protection here: anyone DMing you a "bitcoin giveaway" in your first week is phishing, no exceptions. For follows, I'd start with people who show their work rather than just their takes, and check an account's history before trusting it. Curious if the practice appeals to the same part of you that yoga does — slow, daily, compounding in a way that only shows up years later.
