Should i buy my first whole bitcoin ?

I just want opinions, would you buy a whole bitcoin ?

Well,it depends on your requirements.If you just have some bucks lying around and want to utilize them,buying a whole coin is a good option provided you get them at cheap rates.You could also trade them separately with varying market rates  and hope to get some profit.Its a valuable asset .

and use your own wallet !!

Don't force yourself to buy a whole bitcoin if you don't have enough cash. Buy 0.5 btc or any amount you can spare and buy more when you have more money. If you want an address look good with nothing but 1.0 btc in it, you can send 1 btc to a new address when you have more than 1 btc.

if the sub $450 is something that you can put aside and forget about for a year, go ahead.
but if its something ur dreaming of doubling in 6 months because you really really need $450+ within 6 months.. be cautious.

dont invest anything that will make you cry if it drops 10%, only invest something that you wont care about for atleast a year..

I would stagger it out and buy .20 at 5 different levels but then again I always gamble for a cheaper price lol.

The only problem is like when I bought .20 at 410 I had it set to buy .2 at 390 but it went back up to 435 and
so I only got .2  >:(

Fuck it, do it  ;)
If it goes to $1m then you'll be a guru and if it goes to shit you can look back and laugh.

In my opinion, i will buy it because bitcoin has good future

I think the price still can rise, so it going to be a good investment

I totally agree with him. You don't use up all of your money to do that. If you need urged something to cash you still have any money

Anytime you buy bitcoin could be the wrong time, Im hesitant to buy at the moment because the price is higher than opportunity i had earlier in the year but earlier in the year i was also hesitant because price was fluctuating and looked like it might have gone down. Had i know price was going to go up to what it did today then i would have put every penny in earlier in the year. Maybe i should even do that now,its hard to say.

That's nice, congratulations with your +1 Bitcoin. :)

Just make sure you send it to your offline wallet and make several backups of your wallet file, if you haven't already. Bitcoiners never have enough backups. :P

Good one  ;D
To put it in perspective, I just spent about that on buying Christmas presents that people didn't really need or want.

Congratulations, My advice would be to stick it on a paper wallet, lock it away and dont even bother looking at prices for a few years then by that time you could come back and who knows.

I also noticed you bought it in pounds, what exchange did you use? lbt?

Well next thing you will do is not holding ot for long. For now learn to read some daily charts to take advantage of what will the price will bring us. Rotate the coins.

congrats! Its the only way you get to be into bitcoins. you're lucky to have more cash yourself as I depend on giveaways when i started with bitcoins and soon after having few coins in my wallets, thats when i get to really like btc and started searching how i can use the amount in my wallet. Later find myself responding to threads here.

Congrats! That's a great achievement, I know how it feels.

Well done Bro!   :)

Now you can make your first post on this thread:https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=375643.0 .

If you will hodl properly for some years as you stated, we'll meet at 100k party ;)

Just do it!

You're pretty much gusranteed to make a profit on today's price within 12 months due to the halving.

Edit - I see you already made the purchase, good man.

no atm. start learning more about bitcoin and make your own decision in the future.

He already bought it. OP, well done and happy holding!

It really depends on several factors. One thing I can say is that if you have those dollars that will enable you buy a single coin in full then you can go a head to do so. I am sure there are very many people who are willing to get more coins but the only thing that usually hold them back is the financial freedom they have. You also need to plan well on what you want to achieve in bitcoin trading. It will help you a lot.

Good choice you made! It feels good to hold an entire bitcoin somehow.

Even if the price may fluctuate on the short term, I think you will have a nice gain percentage in the long run.

If 4xx$ is not that much for you and that you are ready to let it stay in your wallet (not on an exchange !), yes, that could be the best investment you could do in your whole life. In a few years your investment could be double, tripled or even quadrupled ! You can still buy a fraction of a Bitcoin if you don't want to put too much money just now, but the earlier you buy it (so the cheaper), the better it is.

Yeah, sure, right now would seem as a good time to buy it. It thought it might fall below 400, but it looks like it is goint upwards again. Buy.

LOL now you've really got the bug already!
It's not so much about the money for me, although that's potentially very nice, but look at it as a 300 quid adventure.

The Op has asked for input and made his decision. This thread is now redundant.
All posts from now on, especially carrying paid signatures, should be treated as post count spam.

if you have some money left from holiday better buy now because there is a spectaculation that bitoin prises will rise in 2016 so bette take the opportuity to buy now before the prises it become more higher

If you have enough money to buy 1 bitcoin and you are happy to do so they why not, if you need to go without anything in order to buy 1 then it probably isn't a good idea, just buy a smaller part of bitcoin maybe half or a quarter, should never leave yourself without.

yes you should buy bitcoin,but i dont think now is the right time,lets wait until tommorow,if the price still like this or more down,you can buy whole bitcoin,but dont too much and make sure that you keep stay on your computer and keep watching bitcoin price.

You should know this yourself!
Are you a risk taker? Is the money you would invest to buy a whole Bitcoin affordable for you?
How long have you planned to hold this Bitcoin?
You can ask for as many opinions as you want and you will get always different answers.
In the end you are the one who has to make the decision!

Good that you bought your first whole Bitcoin. I am sure you will end up buying more to benefit from the price that is going up. Next target will be 2 whole Bitcoins.

I dont think it matters that you buy a whole coin.  Some people new to bitcoin have this facination with whole coins.  Just buy as much bitcoin as you can afford.  about 2 years ago i told my brother about bitcoin and he wanted to buy, so i advised him to get in slowly.  Purchasing a small amount every week or month, but he couldnt get his head around buying 0.5 or 0.25 bitcoin, which in my opinion cost him because he bought in at £600 per coin and it has yet to get back to that valuation (i do believe that some day it will be worth far more and ultimatly he will be in profit)  if he had spread his purchase out over a few months it would have saved him some money.

Either way its up to you, good luck

PS:  if you are new to bitcoin research bitcoin security first and what wallet you wish to use to secure it, my opionion would be a paper wallet backed up in atleast 2 places if its long term storage or something like breadwallet for iphone if your looking to speand it.  heres a great link:  https://youtu.be/I1uefzJJ6nM

Price of bitcoin right now is very low so my suggestion to you is yes, buy it!
When price increase again you will earn a lot.
Of course it's always risk so never spend money you can't afford to loose.

i have a feeling next year will be a great year for bitcoin so go and buy many many more bitcoin if you can. and it is always gd to have one whole bitcoin. the feel is so different.

If you have money for it - go for it and don't hesitate. I will tell you an example, a story of a guy who bought 2 Papa Jones pizzas for 10.000 bitcoin, for years later these 10.000 coins were worth over $5 millions.
I would risk buying 1 bitcoin if I were you. Situation in the future could be the same.

I think you are talking about 1 bitcoin, if you have enough money than you can buy 1 bitcoin right now without thinking much as price is some dollar low than usual. Best time to buy.

yup, the price will keep increasing so it is always good to buy now and hold it. you also can consider to use it whenever there is a need. in this way u also can help to generate more flow in btc.

Congrats and thats a good decision the price will increase thi following year so keep holding or if you want to increase your bitcoin
Or make a profit you can try find a job in services section while your waiting for the price increase.
Honestly the price of bitcoin that you bought is cheap than buying it now in bitstamp.

Wait to buy. This isn't buying season.

At $420-$430, it is. We can only go up from here.

When considering upcoming events and increasing popularity of bitcoin, everyday must be a good day to buy bitcoin. If you find some reason not to buy, then you will regret later for not buying.
After you bought your bitcoin the price goes down you can buy again to get a better average buying price.

it depends. some people just want to use bitcoin as an investment. they buy, hold, and sell when the price has gone up. they don't care much about using it as currency.

Wel, let me tell you the answer bro.

I can recommend to do it. It seems you have done some research and know and believe about the concept.

If you have the money that are just staying in a place and you don't have any plan to spend them,
Then why not trying to invest in bitcoin, the price now is not expensive and you could probably make a little profit within a month or more

I think that, as an investment, is a good idea to buy a full Bitcoin and keep it for the future (in case you can afford it that is). It is likely that its price raises, and that it becomes more usable. At the very worst, (Bitcoin bombs and ends being a failure) you will have it as a souvenir.

You can try and earn it too. That's the path I chosed. But if I could not earn it by any means, it is likely that I bought some.

My man, no one on this forum can predict what the price of btc is going to be in a week, much less 5-10 years.  So it could be a good investment, or you could be out your entire $450.  If you can afford it and you can buy a whole bitcoin at market rate, I say do it.  But my opinion is worth what you paid for it, so keep that in mind.

If you are going to buy your first Bitcoin, May I recommend that you find someone who has a wallet somewhere that gives them a referral bonus for you buying your first Bitcoin!!  You can offer to do this for them if they give you 1.2 of the reward they will get.  This will allow you to get more for your money and it will also allow you to get in a a good price, for so many are calling for a major increase!

I would, because holding it for future price increase is always a great thing to do.

Welcome to bitcoin! If bitcoin trading interests you read all you can and practice on paper for a few months to prove to yourself that you have the aptitude (and temperament) for trading. It is not for everyone but might be for you.

Coinbase is as safe an any online wallet for your bitcoin. Take some time to learn and understand hardware and paper wallets before you consider moving your bitcoin from the safety of Coinbase.

Dont waste any more time asking questions buddy go for it.It is the right time to buy bitcoin because the price is soon going to go higher next year.You can sell it in march when it would be 600 $

Congrats! Now that you have one your going to want another one soon don't worry. The itch will happen

The price has retreated from previous high around $460 before going back to the uptrend. The halving is significant event for bitcoin. You could have a look here : http://coinour.com/index.php/2016-the-year-of-bitcoin/

If I had the money much much more than one. Maybe hundred. I have not the money and yet i am buying it. Few and few every day or night I find the possibility (have the money to do this. Will continue this way even for much more time (whatever will be the price). You are a sure winner if you buy it. Don't think to much because every day gone may be a late one regarding everything has to do with it.

Investing in something should be made based on a research so must think of course.

Nowadays the price isn't expensive as it was before few weeks or months but still worth

Even though the price is increasing slightly nowadays i expect in the next few weeks that the bitcoin price increase so why not buying some if we can afford it.

If you have $450 and do not care if you lose it all, then you should buy 1 bitcoin. Bitcoin has good future.

how will you lose all the whole coin if you just hold them in your wallet until the prices rise in the future

u are telling u can loose money if u purchase bitcoin , yet it has a good future. how can that be possible.  if it has a good future its a good investment right  ;) ;D

As OP says he doesn't have plan in selling it for a year. It means he will holds it and wait for price increased. How he will lose that bucks? maybe you should say, if you dont care in spending $450 then bought 1 whole btc.

it will be bit risky if he just want trade Bitcoin with USD because in short term bitcoin could go down then the OP gets panicked and sells for lowwer price

If you have the money to buy a whole Bitcoin, then yeah, definitely buy your first Bitcoin. If you don't have enough money, then just buy small parts of Bitcoin. I think right now, is a really good time to buy Bitcoin as the price is just beginning to rise. You will make the most amount of profit if you buy Bitcoin now. If I were you, I would buy some Bitcoins. You could also earn Bitcoin through signature campaigns and faucets. That is only if you have absolutely no money to spenf on Bitcoin, or just want to make some extra money.

You should wait for about 1-2 months until buying your first bitcoin.If bitcoin value hasn't crashed by then,then you should buy.

What if bitcoin is up to $600 in a few months? Imo theres no good time to buy bitcoin because it varies so much, Just buy bit by bit to keep your average hopefully low.

no he should buy when the price look stable, as it is right now, because this is usually an indicator that the bottom is there

i think its always a good investment to buy some bitcoins

Well, if you ask 10 people you would probably get 10 answers. I personally think it is still a fair price to buy.

I don't know if this is a good time to buy though.

of course yesss, if i have more money i will buy all bitcoin and hold it
you must watch "the end of money" bitcoin documentary film

Someone may hack your wallet and steal your coins.

The device where your coins are store may break and you lose your coins.

Or the price could just fall and you lose most of your coins

I did just a while ago. What did you gather from it about the state of bitcoin currently.
The thing is with movies (documentaries to some) like this the facts are changing so constantly that the things they point out are not relevant to us a week/a month after they are published.

learn cold storage!!!

It all comes down to personal preference, if you think it is a good time to buy and the value is going to keep increasing, then you should think about it, and probably end up buying whatever you feel is appropriate. If you think the value is going to decrease, then don't buy and just wait.

Right now we are on the verge of blocks halving, and there is the potential for large amounts of growth in the Bitcoin economy.

But it all comes down to if you want to buy or not, exactly like the stock market.

while so many people predict that this year will be year of bitcoin,i think its a good time to buy some bitcoins,just make sure you are buy at lower price than today,and if you still not have to buy until today,its not too late,just buy some and i'm sure bitcoin price will rise up again this year.

If Bitcoin gets outlawed where you live, then you will have a problem to sell your coins. If can't trip abroad, then you'll have a problem and your Bitcoins will technically be worth 0

People trade bitcoin for paypal or whatever all the time. Here, in exchanges, etc. There is the risk of charge backs. But his bitcoins would never be worth nothing. The only way for that to happen is if the price drops to 0. Like if a vulnerability is found. Or a better currency is created and everyone abandons bitcoin.

Buy bitcoins anytime you will be in profit after years for sure if you dont spend it.

Not sure if it's the best of times to buy but if you wait you may never see this price again. Definitely go for it if drops below $400 in the next weeks (I doubt it).

I think its depend on your reqruitments why you need bitcoin? If you want to earn money go buy bitcoin then trade it, you can activly buy and sell bitcoin on bitcoin exchange or exchanging crypto but I think its most risky than exchanging bitcoin to fiat, if you want to buy bitcoin for purchased some virtual things, as for me buy bitcoin for long term investment and as an payment processor, just saying

you can buy, abroad with your coins, so no, they still be worth what they are worth, at that point i would only use them directly on something like open bazar or purse.io

actually it's kinda of better if you can not dump it anymore, less pressure on the market, and more encouragement on using bitcoin like a currency

I would go for it but just like any investment it can go down to. Price seams pretty steady just now

If you need bitcoins to buy things from the internet that could only be paid by bitcoin, then so be it.
Otherwise, you could earn bitcoin yourself here if you got skills like programming , designing etc.

Right now is a 50-50 try IMO, BTC price can keep overshooting up like the previous time when it went as high as $1000 dollars or can fall after increasing to this level, buying at a more stable time might be a good idea...

I think it would worth it as an investment, price can go high and can earn profit but can lose some % if the price goes down.

Even if the price goes down, we can wait again for the price rise as we know that bitcoin keeps on fluctuating, and it would go higher in next few months, so you can sell when it is giving you some profits, and again wait for the price fall so that you can buy some more bitcoins and hold it for the future.

So you support the bitcoin as an investment, not as a currency? How do you believe prices will then rise bitcoin? although I also expect bitcoin continue to rise, but I do not hasty to save a lot of bitcoin for price increases.

Honestly I think you should. If you follow the news you will find that bitcoin has things going on.
The price included. Seeing so much volume everyday says enough.

I personally think investing in bitcoins is a good decision, but only invest so much you can afford to loose.
Also don't look at it as short term investment, but a long term investment.

Please re-frame your sentences. You want to buy whole bitcoin? LOL! ::)

I think you are asking to buy 1BTC right? If so then it will be your decision. Probably now is the best time to buy 1BTC because price will rise two folds after next halving begins from June or July probably.

Do not wait for price to go down to $350 because Bitcoin is now stable at $400~ and it is not going down as I am noticing everyday. Nor it will either.

I think that anyone that is interested in Bitcoin should own at least 1. It is a way bigger risk to not risk the 440 dollars that's 1 BTC worth right now, than risk them with the possibility of losing them (it's just not gonna happen, the only way is up). Anyone that reaches Sr Member here should at least have 1 by then.

I am wonder why you are waiting.  I do not think it will drop below $400 USD in the next few weeks if at all, but if it does buy fast for it will be on the rise shortly after.  So again, back to the question, why have you waited so far, go buy now.

He has. None of you read the thread. He already bought his bitcoin. 3 days ago. Is already holding. And was planning on maybe buying more to trade. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1308852.msg13398056#msg13398056 https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1308852.msg13398214#msg13398214 maybe better lock this thread op. Then reopen later or create new one if you have something else to ask.

Yeah! You are still on time to buy your first Bitcoin at a low price. If you bought it 3 months ago by now you should have doubled your investment.

Good job for him in buying his first full Bitcoin, but I would advise him strongly against trading. Im assuming he is new on all of this and doesn't even have former trading experience. I would stay away, just hold.

Hold onto it.  Down the road, it could be worth… I don't know… millions??  I guess we'll just have to wait and see

yeah i think you should bitcoin always was and most probably will be a very great investment and it will always be good thing to buy it because in the future it will be more popular

There many people against bitcoin many are that were scammed or lost in betting and other things.
But if you can afford then why not buying a whole bitcoin, it is not a large investment if you ask me.

Congrats for first btc, use it smart

Congrats on your first bitcoin, I remember my first time I received a whole full bitcoin. Enjoy it.  ;D

Glad to hear than, just wait til the halving. Dont' spend it, just hodl! ;)

If you look to hold your coins till the next halving at least i think you can buy your whole bitcoin with the current price and hold it till the upcoming highest price as expected the bitcoin's price will increase soon

We can't know how deep the rabbit hole goes... I mean we don't know how high the pump will be. I just have a deep fear on thinking im doing a fantastic trade thinking "oh well, im selling now, its just too overpriced, i'll short later" but then later I realize im selling way too cheap because it was still going up... that's a nightmare.

If you have enough money then buying bitcoin must be a good idea. It can be either a full bitcoin or some mBTC also. Buying is alone important.

i don't think i will buy a whole bitcoin. because i don't have much money to buy bitcoin and the second is i can freely earn bitcoin here by signature campaign.

I never had full one bitcoin  :( . But I never surrender to earn bitcoin. It will be a long way for me to achieve full bitcoin

Definitely. It is a really good investment. I did it and I have already broken even from what I paid. Absolutely love Bitcoin.

Hold the bitcoin man, the price will rise sooner or later. Dont waste it for something not necessary.

Maybe if you hold it long enough the price could rise up until $600 or more.

I dont think this month is good time to buy bitcoin,the price really stagnant,maybe you should collect bitcoin with free way,and wait until next month for better price to buy bitcoin. Good luck :)

I think the $370 is the bottom of long term bitcoin price. So if you want to buy for the future, it is the buying time.

I would. It was an amazing feeling when I bought my first bitcoin and have that nice even number in my wallet. Made quite a bit trading too when I lost it gambling  :-\

Stagnant price is usually a good moment to buy bitcoin. Just look at what happened when it was stagnant for half a year around 200 usd.

If it is clearly declining, it may be wise not to buy yet if you want to try and catch the bottom. Otherwise, just go for it. It is very unlikely you will get the lowest possible price anyway.

I would say yes, if i had enough cash ofcourse, because it seems that in coming few months bitcoin price will grow gradually and then selling them will earn some profit surely.
It will be a wise move to buy a bitcoin now and hold it for a price grow and then sell it for a profit.

It amazes me how many people jump on a thread such as this, clearly don't read the OP or first page at all, and make a post. For all you latecomers trying to up your post counts, the OP bought his 1 BTC back on the first page and clearly he doesn't need your johnny come lately advice anymore.

BTW bjbear123, congrats on your decision. Even though BTC is down a bit from when you bought it, I have confidence as we get near the halving and beyond your investment will pay off.

If you can afford it with extra cash you are okay with losing some of then I guess it is OK, it mainly depend on whether you expect to win fast which will most likely not happen, Also a whole bitcoin is not necessary but the more the better if the price moves favorably.

Yeah I think this is the right time to buy some more bitcoins and hold it for the future, as the price of bitcoins at a moment is not too high, so if you can afford to buy, then just go for it, and wait till it crosses $600 mark.

yes you should becouse in the future bitcoin value will raise .

You have taken a great decision to buy it.
I hope it may grow up to $ 1m ...all the best.

That's correct, bitcoin is still a new technology to many countries, and many of them are not aware about the benefits associated with bitcoins, once they start knowing bitcoin, they would start investing their money into it which would take bitcoin to new level in terms of value.

To buy bitcoin as a long-term investment must avoid three things:

1. Being impatient as price would not change in some timeframe
2. Panic sell if someday BTC/USD will fall significantly
3. Selling after little price rising, to gather any revenue

It could be summarized as PATIENCE :)

You could, though of course I recommend not investing more money than you feel comfortable losing. I usually recommend that you earn Bitcoin however you can, including checking out the Marketplace here. Selling stuff that you don't want anymore usually works well.

That's working methods but need some time and patience, i think if someone have the enough budget and would like to hold the coins till the price getting high as expected soon this could working and making some profit

Yes.
I have already bought mine while ago and I am not going to sell it anytime soon.

You should do it its the best thing to do it on long terms.
We just need to wait till the price will rise to a high amount so you should do it.

One bitcoin is not that much. Do it and see how you deal with it. You won't be sorry. Bitcoin has a bright future.

It depends on your financial possibilities, and on what options you have to invest your money looking for a larger profitability. In my case, I would like to increase my bitcoin worth, but this moment I am getting good incomes from my forex investments and I have decided to reinvest my current capital.  But I only will get few bitcoins, waiting for the halving to come.

i think you should, it is always a good investment to buy bitcoins now in my opinion and most probably you will end up winning if you will wait for a few years or something like that

yeah that is your good decision for hold bitcoin for the future, I hope its worth will take after 4-6 year $20k so if you will sell that time then you will make too profit and if you don't want to sell then it is too secure for the your life time.  

The problem is you never know what is the right time to buy and when to sell.When price fall,many wait for further fall and start buying hastily at a small increase in price thinking it might be their last chance to buy at this price.Opposite happens with sellers.They wait in a hope of further price rise.My suggestion is when ever you have extra money,just buy it dont wait or ask for advice.You must learn to take a small risk

As much as we can, we should save even a few in our wallet, there's nothing to worry about the price, as you can see, speculations are more positive than negative..  :)

this is one of those questions that nobody can answer for you. it is totally up to you in order to decide how much you want to invest in bitcoin that amount is what you are comfortable with.

it is a good idea to be involved with bitcoin however. because in the future the chances of bitcoin being so much more expensive than now is high.

If it is required for you then you can go for it as the price is not that high. This is affordable for a common man with mid level earning. At the same time try to earn through signature campaign as well other means, if there is not much requirement at present

Should you buy or not it's all depend to you. No person can give you the right move. If you can afford to buy then just buy. The price today is not at it's peak and price increase in the future really can happen.

yes you should its the best thing you can do before the halving comes.
I think you can buy them low now and sell them high soon or later.

Yes you should buy your first coin, the price is low.
Its a good time to buy your bitcoins now.

Also the halving is coming, so you can make profit if you buy them fast now.

Even the price today, $440 is quite low compared to the price in 6 months. I think the price will be $800 at least.

if OP bought he would already be making money. You are still on time to get on the winning train and make some amazing gains by the time we hit the halving. With the consensus reached to stay with Core we will be really calm and the only way is up.

Buy it now if you want, the price is pretty low (even tho last week or so , bitcoin is priced $300-ish)

Bitcoin price is rising, and buying one bitcoin now is going to be a great investment in your money.

Go for it. But i think you have to make a solid plan first what to make of it. Otherwise it would be best just to keep it in your pocket until its about time to sell.

You should have bought it long time ago... I bought mine when they were short above $200 :)
Now I'm waiting to get a return of 3 times my investment.

exactly, i always like seeing these kind of topics after a while has passed. it shows how you were thinking a couple of months back and how right or wrong were you.
it will help make decisions for the future with more confidence.

you should do that,buy now before the price going down too deep,because some people believe the price will keep rise up on this week or maybe this month.

This is not a hard decision. Each coin is only $400+ so should be affordable to most people...

Yeah, I think it is the time to buy bitcoin, everyone is buying bitcoins, as the prices is increasing with each passing day.
I suggest you to buy bitcoin, it will benefit you. and hold it until the price go up, and whenever you notice the price going down them convert it to another currency.

Better a whole one than a half. A real man does not deal with half things.

well if you can afford it then why not? personally i wanted my first bitcoin to be bought but as a poor fag i can't afford one so i work hard just to earn my very first 1 bitcoin before.

You could always buy, as long as you can, the question there is the purpose, why would you buy bitcoin? are going to keep it for a long time? or are you going to go trading? or just want to say that you are in? if you just want to have it and spend it in anything you want to purchase, that's useless, and not worth it.you can spend your fiat then if you are just into purchasing and experience...

Yes. If you can afford one bitcoin, it means no more than 21 million people in the world can be richer than you in bitcoin.

agreed I just started buying 1 butch each month if you work full time that should not be a problem at least buy ur self 0,5 btc each month if you feel 1 whole Bitcoin is to much, you are going to regret not buying :)

Its good to buy and invest in the bitcoin it has a good future and not many people have it if you compare it with other currency's.
I think the bitcoin will grow fast this year and the price will also increase so buying now would be a good thing to do.

Its better if you had that do last week or something. I hope later that it will be more worth later so we can sell it.
If we are going to sell it in the future than the chance will be high that you can also have some profit.

It's depend on the purpose, if you want to invest on it, i think you should do some research about bitcoin price, then buy it if you want, but in my experience i didn't buy it, i earned it (from jobs, trading, etc.), and at the same time i invest some of it ;D but, of course it won't be that easy to get a lot of it ;)

Yes you should buy your first bitcoin, its good to invest in the bitcoin it will cost you some money but it will be worth it.
If you just hold it you will make profit for sure because of the halving that is coming this year.

It depends on your savings and what you want to do, if you want to buy a whole bitcoin as an investment, then you should buy it without delaying anymore. Because this is the right time to buy some bitcoins.

Yes, immediate buying of some bitcoins must be a good desicions as per current bitcoin trend. I too believe buying bitcoin is an easiest way to have one whole bitcoin. Holding one full bitoin must be a magical feel, yet to experience it.

Same, I would imagine that holding a whole bitcoin has to be sort of a special rite of passage to becoming a real cryptocurrency man

It is good now to invest some in Bitcoins. I hope later that the value will be very high so you can sell it with more profit.
But there is a chance that it can also be more down, so that is not so good. I hope that will not happen

of course yes, on the long run a bitcoin is not to much, but i can advise you that buiyng a whole bitcoin it's very very good, try to accumulate as much as possibile. ;)

Nope even a half a bitcoin can take you in the long run thru right forwarding your buy and sell moves in doing trading.

I started in BTC.5 as in inital capital and right now the process is good.

Its purely on your requirement. If you have a idea to buy just go on, as the price has
reduced a little from its increasing side. You may get some profit if you go for it.

And I will add that if they can afford to buy a whole coin at the current price rate just go then just see what will be the market moves in the next few days or weeks.

It's depend imo. If you need bitcoin for paying or buying something urgently then you should buy bitcoin. but if you no need something to do with bitcoin, better not buy it. you can earn it though.

Yes you should its pretty good to buy a bitcoin, also the bitcoin has a great future this year so if you buy them now you will make profit at the end of this year, I think you can even double it so you will make a lot of profit.
If you do it good its possible for sure, you only should be patient these days.

I'm having the same question myself, but for now I'll wait and see what's going with the price and do it once I'm confident enough, so my advice is: whenever you do it, do it because you really think it will benefit you and see some possibilities!

You can buy it anytime, so there is no preassure at all  ;)

Buying a first whole bitcoin is a nice idea if you have some money for the investment because this is the right time to purchase the bitcoins and do trading and sell it in higher price.

I would, definitely I would, only I don't have spare money to do this. I have a family and my salary is less then 1 Bitcoin per month. The good news is I can earn it by participating in Signature campaigns. I will have 1 Bitcoin by the end of this Summer I hope.

Definitely. I'd say it is a wise decision.
If I were you, I'd purchase as many Bitcoin as I could. Buy them while they are still cheap. I will not think twice, lol.

If you decide to buy it, do it before the halving.

I would buy coins before the halving as the price is maybe on the rise and now it is cheaper to purchase.

I think you should buy it long before the halving. Several months before the halving, the price will rise.

buy it maybe a good idea, but he needs to think about how much money he has to buy the whole bitcoin. that's not funny if he buys the whole bitcoin and leaves nothing to buy food

Even I am thinking the same Everyone can buy a bitcoin now, Already Bitcoin Block halving rally is in progress Price getting increase everyday. No need fear Invest in bitcoin and buy it for long term at least for block halving.

I think if you plan to hold your coins to the next halving at least you can buy your first Bitcoin as soon as possible, because it's expected that the Bitcoin's price will increase especially after the Halving's event coming soon

If he asks opinions from others if he should purchase a whole Bitcoin or not, I am pretty sure he is able to buy himself food even though after he bought the Bitcoin.

firstly its all depend on your money, u have alot of money u can buy whatever u want, otherwise bitcoin is just like your asset, you can investment and also wait for halving, its very profitable for u. 

You can do it now for this moment. But the value is now not so low and not so high, so it is possible to do that.
You never know what can happen in the future. But I hope for you that if you make a investment that you can earn some profit and have more money later in the future.

Yes, with the current market rate, i would

Off course yes because the real market of bitcoin is very good now to do trading .

Something is very clear: If someone has hear about Bitcoin and doesn't own 1 BTC, this person will reject now owning in 1 BTC in the future. It's pretty much math at this point, or some sort of physical law. I mean  just look at the alternatives that you have when cash is removed from society... there aren't. We only have Bitcoin. Metals will not allow for anything beyond real life transactions and you can't live like that in the 21th century.

Dude money only matters for each and everything. We are telling Bitcoin is way to make money we not telling that is only the way. I think you got that.

That's true there are many ways to make money, and bitcoin is one of that, and if you can afford to buy 1 btc at a moment, then you can good profits in future if the price climbs up.

Buy one or better yet earn one. You'll appreciate it more that way.

It is a good idea to buy your Bitcoin now around this time. The value is now quite low so that is good to invest.
Maybe later that you will have more money and that more people will use it as well. I think it will also be more popular.

Yeah the price is comparatively low and it would be a good decision to make if you buy 1 btc as the price would be much higher in next couple of months.

I think you should go for it, best time to buy 1 whole btc, price not too high, can afford to buy it, and hold it for future and sell it at halving if you are satisfied with the value.

My suggestion is to learn more about bitcoin before buying your first "FULL" coins. Some beginners thought they were given a few BTC, were actually receiving bitcoins in mBTC (1/1000 FULL coins).

Read more!

I think now is the best time to buy more than ever. Price is considerably low and it will shoot up sometime soon.

Yes, the price is not stable recently, but i think it is a good time for buying bitcoin if someone can afford, because the price will surely go high in coming few weeks or months, and after that the buyers won't regret what they did.

The bitcoin price is very volatile in short term. But it rises in long term. So if you want to hold, you can buy now.

This is a pretty old post and the price has risen since the end of last year, but the answer is the same.
Now is the time to buy before the halving starts mid year.

Yeah I think this is the perfect time to buy bitcoins as the price is relatively low and stable, so buying right now and holding till halving can be prove to be profitable.

Around this time that will be very good. The value is now very low and that is very good to make an investment.
You never know what can happen later. But you must take the risk that the value also can fall down. But then you just must hold your coin. Patience is very important.

You should buy your bitcoin right now just like the one who purchased back into few years ago because he feel that he like it.

ofcourse you should dont think till now just go and buy it bitcoin is going to jump on its price soon

Yeah, this is the right time to buy, and I would recommend that if you can buy more then you can go for it, as you can expect good profits in next couple of months after the halving.

It will be a good idea now around this time. The value is now rising so you must hurry up to buy it !
If you are buying it now around this time than you will maybe have some profit later in the future and that will be good for you.

Yes, we all know that halving is coming and we expect some higher price after halving so everyone is busy at a moment in buying bitcoins, so if you can afford to buy 1 btc then its a good decision to make.

That is true,, no need to wait for a dip, just buy now and keep it and wait til you are satisfied with the price to sell it...waiting for the price to dip below $400 might happen but it won't be there for long, so instead of watching the price everytime, just buy now and wait...

It's depend though. If it's for investment, yes you should buy your first bitcoin now. because i'm sure the price of bitcoin will increase soon because halving. and it's also okay buying 1 bitcoin, for emergency.

Without any further clarification you can go for it, as you will get a short term profit because of the increasing bitcoin price.
After making your first profit you decide whether to continue or quit.

i expect by the time the block size debate is resolved (which is going to be soon) the bitcoin price will go up and it can even enter the big bubble we are waiting for. so i think at any time before that is the best time to buy as much bitcoin as you can afford to invest.

Buying bitcoin always will be good for you. You can get some profit because of price increase. If you can afford then buy more than 1 bitcoin also. You'll never regret for sure.

any time that is a time before the mass adoption happens is a good time to buy bitcoin because as long as bitcoin is not mass adopted, it has room to grow.

Yes it is good to buy and hope that the value will rise later. But you dont know what can happen later.
But you should to take the risk for to earn some more money later. You never know what can happen.

I think so also, i think that the best period to buy Bitcoins is just before the halving event, because we expect that the price will increase after the halving

if i were you i think i would buy it because i think it is one of the best investments that you can find right now, i hope its price will rise in the future

Is buying a bit coin really a good fortune. And is this also a matter of investment if you will buy it yourself rather than earning them I am actually looking at some point if this is really a good fortune in the future. How this will work, is there also possible risk if ever, just a question in mind..

As many experts predict that Bitcoin's price will increase soon, so i think that buying Bitcoin in this period is really profitable idea. I think even buying more than one bitcoin could be interesting and profitable if the price will increase

Yeah me also after hearing about that news, started to earn , collect and hold bitcoin in my wallet for the price increase.
I want to earn that way from bitcoin as it is the magical increase of my money.
Every one should have to buy it.

Well they are so lucky enough to buy this bitcoin on their own for this is a good way or should i say the smart way to have their first bitcoin. For others who cannot do so, we can still earn as much as we can until we can finally buy our first ever bitcoin. I believe so i will do the same thing for this is a good hold or fortune in the future..

You can't really just assume that the price of bitcoin will just go up primarily because of the halving.  There are a lot of factors that go into the price of bitcoin... so don't put all of your eggs in one basket, if you are protecting your wealth, I would put a little into bitcoin and some into precious metals.

You should really buy your first bitcoin due the point that the bitcoin is gonna rise to a high amount this year for sure.
I think you should invest now and than wait till the halving is coming to make a lot of profit later on this year.

Sure why. Remember bitcoin is not a one time thing. The future of bitcoin is very good. if you buy it now you can use it for speculation or just buy some goods.
In the end that is the real purpose of bitcoin.

I never force anyone to buy more bitcoins usually. But your points are absolutely true and putting some affordable money into bitcoin ecosystem will make us rich, missing this opportunity only may make us regret in future.

Buying in the increasing time of bitcoin is good. It will profit you in a short time.
No need to panic on price fall as the fall is very less since two weeks.

I would save up my money to go for a bitcoin. Honestly, if it turns to be a bad investment, then alright... you lost a decent sum of money. But, the possibility of having  your investment grow and getting the bitcoin price to rise is appealing. I guess it's similar to gambling, really. You COULD win, or you could lose what you've staked. But, the difference here is that you have to wait a while to see what happens (heh) and there's a community based around it. You can play around with bitcoin while you wait and see, by either lurking around the forums, or potentially trading. It's alright if people don't think that it's a good investment... I personally hope to prove them wrong in a couple years.

Yes, yes and yes! Do it, support the Bitcoin economy, its here for the long term!

Yeah, exactly, this the best time to buy, price not too high, can afford to buy some more coins and hold it for next couple of months and will sell at a right time when getting some profits.

 if i had enough cash of course,
because it seems that in coming few months bitcoin price will grow gradually and then selling them will earn some profit surely.
It will be a wise move to buy a bitcoin now and hold it for a price grow and then sell it for a profit

so far bitcoin has been on a right track. it has been growing and the price is going up -if you omit the pump and the decline - the price has been going up.
so i guess it is good to buy bitcoin since we are in its early stages that it can be bought cheap.

Yeah it's better time to buy a bitcoin now. recently bitcoin is getting increase in price day by day So we can get the profit for sure.
Hurry up and buy the bitcoin guys.

Yes generally the Bitcoin's price is growing and going up in the few previous months, and also it's expected that after the next halving the price will increase too

You can buy your first bitcoin nowadays because holding bitcoins nowadays is advised as good strategy to make profit online, as we expect the Bitcoin's price will increase soon, especially after the next halving

It's a good time to invest in bitcoins since everbody is expecting the price to raise soon.
If I were you and got some money saved, I'll definitely invest in bitcoins and buy a whole one.

I've been interested in Bitcoin for some months but recently I've finally bought my first coin. Already made some transactions and I have to say it's really great!

Thanks for sharing. I suggest you to buy more, listen do not even read my post and go ahead and buy more ! You never know when the price would and can fly, that time you will only be able to regret, so better buy some bitcoin or bitcoins
and make good profit.

Well profit is never guaranteed when you/we are speculation. I am not at liberty to advice you, however my guts tells me the future of bitcoin is bright.
Therefore i adviced myself to buy more bitcoins.

It is really up to you whether you want a bitcoin or you don't want a bitcoin. I would buy one if I were you.

Indeed this is true, the price will increase for sure so its a good thing you can make a lot of money because of the halving that is coming.
I think investing the bitcoin now is pretty smart, so you should do it due to the halving that is coming and the price that is now pretty low if you compare it with the history.

maybe you could have a second investment. if you buy a house now. problem. whether the price of real estate has a great market movement or not

Im planning to buy 1bitcoin or atleast $50 worth of bitcoin would be okay if ever I have a money coz making btc in sigcamp and trying to multiply it in gambling is way to hard.

it really depends on you. but if you are getting one, you want to get it cheap. Saftey should be taken into account too. first of all, you should decide as to how you are going to store it. i would suggest to store it in a manual usb. They are like 15US dollars. it is hard to hack them and if you get the good quality ones they are hard to snap. Just make sure that you dont lose small things easily.  :) :) :)

earning it in signature campaign is never easy... so just buy if you can afford, or buy when you have a spare money, invest it in bitcoin... or better yet, just don't use what you've collected, just keep it...

If you can afford, just go buy a one whole bitcoin.

After you buy make some fixed of do's and don't to able to make profit out of your investment.

Hearing other thoughts can help too.

If you are planning to hold your coin till the next halving at least you can buy your first bitcoin, because we predict that the Bitcoin's price will increase soon

yes you should because the bitcoin itself has a good future a head if you ask me, the halving is also coming this year so that is another reason why you should buy bitcoins.

You should really do it the bitcoin has a really good future a head if you ask me.

If someone will hold bitcoin for long term goals expecting the skyrocket value per single coins, it's better to hold lots of coins not that one, two but make it a multiple one.

Buy now and hoard it until 6 months after halving. I'm sure that the hoarders will be the reason why the price of bitcoin will rise. :D

Pretty nice that you have done it, I think its a good way to invest in the bitcoin, you will  make profit for sure, you can also sell them at the end of this year.
because of the halving the price will go to a high amount for sure so that is pretty nice.

Many Bitcoin's users expect that the price will rise for sure especially after the next halving happening soon
So it's profitable idea to buy the Bitcoins nowadays and hold it till the bitcoin's price getting highest level

I think that's true because we can make good profit online by holding our coins and selling then with highest price

You should not waste time and buy it, because bitcoin halving is coming in some 4 months I think and that time the price will be very very high and then you might regret for not buying.

You are right is good to buy bitcoins now because of the price that is pretty good, Its just a matter of time before the amount of the bitcoin is gonna rise.

The halving is standing for the door so you have to be fast and buy your first whole bitcoin!

Yeah, this is the perfect time to make some purchases and even you can't buy full bitcoin, you should go for even small parts as whatever you buy today will hold some better value in future.

Why not ? Better you buy your first bitcoin or more today, because i'm sure the price of bitcoin will increase so high after halving. So better you invest now on bitcoin.

You are right but apart from that I would also advice someone to buy a complete coin because you can start trading with them or you can lend them to earn interests. So, buying bitcoins will get you some good profits !

Buy your first bitcoin. Make profits thru trades even halving aren't happen today. You can make lots of profits and a possible even much more while halving approaches.

That is right. We can still make a nice profits before halving. Look at the price today. It's on roller coaster mode. Meaning we can't still see the effect of halving expectation to this day.

Yes you should buy your first bitcoin is very good to do because the bitcoin is gonna rise to a high amount soon or later.
I think we just have to wait for the moment the price is gonna rise, just hold your bitcoins for a term of 1 year.
You will make profit in the most cases, the bitcoin is of course unpredictable but you will make money for sure because its highly unlikely that the bitcoin will collapse.

If you can afford to risk $450 which is the value of around one bitcoin then I think you should since it has huge potential in my opinion, If you can't and can only afford less then that can do as well since you can buy as few as just few satoshi's.

Yes I think it would be a good thing to do since bitcoin is highly likely to increase with the recent coverage and increased adoption and also with the block halving happening very soon.

that's the best thing to do, if you can't afford a whole bitcoin, just buy small amount each time you have a spare money, and this time and this week, might be a good time to buy...

I think buying bitcoins now is profitable because we can make good profit online by holding our coins and selling then with highest price

It is upto you to decide whether you want to buy 1 BTC according to your needs in case If you just have some extra income in hand to use for investment purpose. Buying the full coin is no doubt good choice of investmentif you are lucky to find in affordable rates and later on can trade them when market rates go higher.

If you plan to hold your bitcoin till the next halving at least so we can advice you to buy this coin sooner
Otherwise i don't think there is a strong reason to buy it, unless you like just to support this currency

Why the fuck not? ???

You can hold and make profit, but at the same time if the price is low while buying you can earn a good profit.
Now it seems to be a price which is low compared to few days back. So buying seems to be best option.

When the price dropped to $300-ish then go for it.

Otherwise, i think you should earn it yourself

Maybe you should wait a little bit while the price is dropping to maximize your profits. That, or consider investing in ETH right now.

I would advise that too. For me it's obvious that the price will go back to 380 again.
When it does i will make sure to buy as many as I can to maximize my profits.

Thats the negative thinking and one of the greatest hindrance in bitcoin growth.Bitcoin was not created for trading but for trading with bitcoin

Today is a good day to buy, price dropped quite a bit and will unlikely go much lower.

If you really are in need of getting a bitcoin do so but if you want to wait a while then you should as there are many other ways to accumulate bitcoin apart from buying it such as faucets and surveys

yes,you should buy it now.there is no more appropriate time to buy in bulk when the bitcoin prices down to $400 and it only happens within 2 days, this day is good day to buy bitcoin.

No! You should never buy the bitcoin. It is the devil's tool. To make you sin.

I think its better to earn it first while learning earning it,you also learn along the way. But if you need it like in emergency funds or to buy someting,you can buy anytime at any exchanges.

if you want to buy bitcoin, i suggest you not to buy it today.
because i think the rate is high enough. just wait until the rate drop, and it's your turn to buy  ;D ;D

I think we must grab the opportunity today or the last day as the price dip low, and no need to wait longer time waiting for the price to drop,.. so yes, OP should buy now if he can afford it..  :)

At this very moment big yes ! the price now is much more lower than other days we must buy as many bitcoins as we can so we can expect a good profit very soon!  the price drop is very normal to us and to us traders it is an opportunity for having a good profit , so what are you waiting for grab your 1 whole bitcoin now !

Try to buy small amount of btc each time when you have a spare money. I'm doing the same

Yes you definitely should. With halving just a round the corner, you will make so much money for free.

That is a very good strategy really, i wish i had some spare money and i would surely buy bitcoins as the price is predicted to go really high this year and that would be great profit to buy and store bitcoins.

You can use your signature campaign earnings to buy Bitcoins weekly and store it till the next halving at least, because it's predicted that the Bitcoin price will increase then

these days that are before the halving happens are the best time for us to buy bitcoin because soon there will be a time that we are going to regret $400 price barbecue it is already twice that amount

Many Bitcoin's users expect that Bitcoin's price will highly increase especially after the next halving happening soon this year, so i agree with you that buying Bitcoins nowadays could be really profitable

Not much of an analyst but BTC is really picking up this fast months. I hope that its value will not drop.

You should do it its the best thing to do it on long terms.
We just need to wait till the price will rise to a high amount so you should do it. till that we guys can buy the bitcoin to make profit..

Bitcoin price is now comparatively low and bitcoin halving will occur in few months. I will definitely buy a whole bitcoin right now whether I am in your place. So, buy bitcoin and store them to get grand profits.

There wasn't a time when the crazy bitcoiner's didn't expected that the price wont increase now or will decrease for some reason.They will keep on say buy it now.

Comparing to what exactly ? The mining is profitable and isn't that supposed to be a good sign or the perfect price required ?

I think people have until after april before the price moves anywhere from $400.  That will be the end of tax year and atm with have other alts pumping.

you must be fast now to buy now some Bitcoins. I hope that you can be fast and that you have later some profit.
But first the price must rise. That is very important. And I hope that it will be more worth later.
