First timer seeking advice bought LTC today and just would like to know other's w/ experience thoughts

So today I bought 500USD in LTC after reading about it for a couple days and watching myriad youtube videos…i decided I would try it out…seems like something big is coming in 2018 and I want to see what it is…I am really looking for any advice on how to familiarize myself as much as I can. I am using Coinbase and am not even sure if I have a wallet yet. If anyone can point me in a certain direction I would really appreciate it !

Thanks

Download the wallet and send yourself a like 0.1 LTC from Coinbase to your wallet.

Figure that out and you’ll learn a lot more about how it all works.
