Could you elaborate on the steps involved in purchasing bitcoins for those who are new to the 
cryptocurrency market? I understand that it's a digital asset, but how do I actually acquire some? Is it through a specific exchange? Do I need a wallet? And what are some of the key considerations I should take into account before making my first purchase, such as the safety of my funds and the volatility of the market? Additionally, are there any regulatory requirements or limitations I should be aware of in my particular region? I'm eager to get started but want to ensure I'm making an informed decision.

    Storage solutions were equally scarce, with few wallets capable of securely housing the acquired coins.
