Feels Good Coin

Today I finally decided to enter into the game of cryptocurrency. After some poor luck in other markets, I needed something new to try and boy is it a learning curve. This is a completely different beast. I purchased bitcoin using circle and use them as my current wallet. I also transferred some BTC over to Poloniex for some trading. I'm looking into buying some Dash and Monero. So if this post is burning your eyes from the dumb things that I'm doing, please don't hesitate to give me advice. I need all the help I can get. How long does it take to transfer because my Poloniex account hasn't received the BTC yet and I'm getting nervous, this is my first transaction. Hopefully didn't send some random person all my money lol.
