I am new to BITCOIN but so far...

Hi

I am new to bitcoin, but so far only the exchange is making money.

There are fees to buy, fees to move. and then when i sell there will be even more fees.

I feel that youtubers and people that already have lots of BTC wants more people to buy BTC so that they become wealthy

Mean while, somebody like me that just decided to start buying BTC. I making profits for everybody else. And not me.

I dont evend see the "privacy" statement made about BTC. I have to register, they have to know even the color of my underwear so I can buy. If I use my credit card, the bank and the exchange know. If I use Wire transfer... The bank and the exchange know.

I might be dumb. Can anybody explain to me why is BTC advertised as "privacy" I dont see it.

Also, to me it feels like going to the casino and placing a bet.

In my house everybody is saying that this thinkg will crash and will be worthless, I am giving it a try. But so far, I am not that hopeful or positive.

Please dont start to downvote me, just for explaining my thoughts and opinions, I said I am new to BTC. I bouhgt a Ledger NANO X to store... just to learn that people are not really happy with Ledger...

I am learning... so please dont get upset at me.

I hope I dont lose my money.. but if you look back.. just a merely 3-4 years ago a BTC was 16-17k. So if BTC at 120 k or even 80 k .. is not a ballon waiting to pop... I will be happy.. if it goes POP.. I will still buy some more and see what happens.

But I am still not convinced... I have not drank the cool aid yet.

Thank you all for your time.
