On a random Wednesday evening, I invested in something for the first time in my life

I made a friend online who taught me about Bitcoin and told me that as long as I consider it and promise not to gamble, they would teach me how to use Coinbase. I was really concerned that it may be a scam, but after searching and reading that Coinbase is safe, and they also weren't asking me to wire them money directly, I gave it a shot.

I'm still terrified, my heart is beating really fast. I've never spent money like this randomly in one sitting. Technically, the first time I made an investment was into my 401k account when I started working after college, so I barely know anything about this.

The next step is that they asked me to make a wallet on Coinbase wallet and transfer $960 to it, so I'm desperately searching what that means. I still can't believe I listened to a stranger... I'm praying that this journey goes smoothly.
