Used Paybis for my first Bitcoin purchase - was it a good or bad move?

Just made my first BTC purchase recently and ended up using Paybis almost by accident because it looked less overwhelming than some of the bigger exchanges.

I bought Bitcoin using Paybis after comparing a few options and realizing I mostly cared about something simple that would actually let me buy with a card without going through a million confusing steps.

The process itself was pretty smooth, so now I’m curious how other people handled their first crypto buy.

Did you:
- stick with services like this long term?
- move everything to larger exchanges later?
- or switch to wallets/self-custody pretty quickly?

I’m still trying to understand what the “normal” path is for beginners because right now I mostly value convenience and not feeling lost every time I open the app.

Also found myself checking stuff like fees/conversion rates with [Paybis bitcoin calculator](https://paybis.com/bitcoin-calculator/) before buying.

At this point I bought Bitcoin using Paybis mainly because it felt beginner-friendly, but I honestly don’t know if that’s considered a good habit or just a temporary starting point.
