Title: Worth investing as a student?
Post by: Lemmmy on July 20, 2017, 10:11:22 PM
Hey there. New to the BitcoinTalk forums, happy to be here :)

I'm a student in the UK. I get a few hundred in cash (£250ish) for christmas + birthday money every year and was thinking about investing in Bitcoin. Would you say it is worth investing as a student, especially now with the market rising around BIP91? If so, how much would you recommend? And how much profit would I be able to make within half a year or so?

Depends on where you want to invest, you could invest into trading, buying BTC or Altcoins and then trying to sell them at a higher price, buying GPUs/Rigs for mining could also be one investment, not sure if I'd recommend that, If Bitcoin price dumps, I'm in a bad position after investing in GPU parts etc.
Anyway, I don't have much knowledge on trading, but what I would suggest you is to not invest all your money into one coin, if that coin's price drops, you are pretty much doomed.
You could try investing small amounts of money here and there and see how it goes till you obtain the basic knowledge on how trading works.
No one can really speculate the price of Bitcoin or any other coin, I'd advise you to be extremely critical when reading any speculations, could turn out bad if they don't go as expected.

Thank you for the information! I agree with you that buying rigs is a risky long shot with such a low budget so I'll definitely steer away from that for now.

When you say trading, what specifically is being traded? Shares? Goods? Services?

I was mostly thinking coin investment, probably BTC and ETH. The multiple coin suggestion is a very good one and I'll definitely keep that in mind.

The XRP,Waves,ICN and Pillar is worth to invest with but if you've got short bugdgeted guy since you are a student then you can also do some bounty jobs so that you can earn while waiting for your investment to grow for long period of time. But make sure that you are around since their are some certain flaws on its flactuations so that you doesn't miss those profit earning times when pump comes on them.

Trading = Buying and selling Cryptocurrency such as BTC, ETH, SC, ZCash and many many more.
It means that you'll buy BTC for example at the price of $2000, save it till you see a price increase and sell it for profit at $2300 when price has increased. Same goes for all the other coins. Bitcoin is the "Main" Cryptocurrency in simple words, the others are called Altcoins, Ethereum, Monero, ZCash and many more, in simple words, "Alternative" coins might be a good word to use.

Hey there. New to the BitcoinTalk forums, happy to be here :)

I'm a student in the UK. I get a few hundred in cash (£250ish) for christmas + birthday money every year and was thinking about investing in Bitcoin. Would you say it is worth investing as a student, especially now with the market rising around BIP91? If so, how much would you recommend? And how much profit would I be able to make within half a year or so?

While there is still time that bitcoin isn't reaching to $10,000 I suggest just go invest in bitcoin. Buy bitcoins now and while you are studying you don't have to manage it daily, because the basic thing you need to do is to hold bitcoins. And you can now study and focus with it while your investment in bitcoin is running passively.

Depends on where you want to invest in, if you do invest in altcoins, they can rapidly go up netting you heaps of profit. With 250, you could get at least 0.1 Bitcoin. That isn't much but it is enough to start.

From then on you can start posting here and leveling up your account or offering your services to make a bit of bitcoin on the side. If you know photoshop, code, graphic design, or have other skills that you think people will need you can start posting your service on "services" and then start to build up your Bitcoin.

4 years ago, I was a student like you, and I'm doing 2 jobs just to have my education going plus my daily expenses as well. I'm making good money, more than enough for school and daily life. The thing is, there isn't much to spend the spare one so I just go and buy whatever the hell I want. If only I knew bitcoin back then, I would have been a millionaire by now since I was able to save $300 a month and have my expenses paid. The thing is, there is never a good time to invest; you just need to be wise on what to invest on. That $250 might not be a big sum today but give it a few years and you will be one of the luckiest people who took the risk and opportunity of buying the investment of your lifetime.

Got it! I'll definitely keep an eye out on the altcoins then and invest a little in multiple :)

Yep, I have skills in programming and graphic design so selling services during holidays sounds like another way to net a profit and build BTC. This is something I'm definitely gonna look into!

Thank you for the very wise words! It does seem to me like bitcoin is a much better way to spend my time and money on than with multiple part time jobs, especially when I'll be busy with school too. Spending wisely is also very good advice, thank you for that!

Your welcome mate as long as you know what you are entering and you know the risk that you are taking. This is the beauty of investing in bitcoin, you don't have to be full workload and grow your bitcoins. The value itself will expand depending on the market of supply and demand and as of now the charts are pretty to see.

there's a lot of types when you say you're gonna invest on bitcoin there's a self investign which you'll only gonna wait years on bitcoin to raise it price . you can also put it on some gambling sites that offering bank roll. with a good profit everymonth. you can also do trading which usually people do in the market. im saying that bitcoin investing is very worth it. you're still young but you can be rich in bitcoin.

Many people in the Bitcoin world are hopping for a much bigger raise in value yet, however, it is probably not so near in the future. I would say that investing 100-200 in Bitcoin and just forget about it and let it grow can be worth it.

Sure, any investment in bitcoin would be good since bitcoin has the ability to rise and fall in price. Just keep this in mind, don't think of bitcoin as a get rich fast method or free money, if it was like that pretty sure everyone would invest in it. Instead learn about bitcoin and from your knowledge you will be able to know when to buy bitcoin and when to sell.

Here are some tips when entering the crypto world and investing

1. Do not listen to any FUD about how bitcoin will die, they are just false rumours.
2. Only invest what you are able to lose.
3. Do not panic sell.
4. Consider selling portions of your bitcoin when the price is high and then re buying bitcoin at a lower price.

I wish you ask this question in 5 years ago, then I would tell you that just buy bitcoins and forget your bitcoins. until after 10 years, you take your bitcoins back, you will be the richest man in the world. 


but now, bitcoin met the risk of spilt, and the price is not cheaper for a student, you may can buy 1-2 BTC or more, but it will affect your life quality.

Maybe not invest, but just save those couple hundred pounds. It wouldn't be worth putting all of what you get into crypto since no one knows what might happen. The crypto world is very unstable and I wouldn't recommend going all in.

What I would recommend doing would make some money from this bitcoin thing, but without actually starting with an investment. What courses are you taking? Maybe some of those skills could be helpful to the community and you could charge Bitcoin for your services.

if you don't need that money then investing it in bitcoin is a good option.
first learn how to make a cold storage to keep what you buy.
they find the best option for purchasing bitcoin since it can be different based on where you live and how you want to deposit that money.
they buy and transfer the coins to that cold storage.

since you don't need that money then let the bitcoins be there until you either need them or at least a couple of years has gone by. there have been many who bought $100 worth of bitcoin around 2010 and became rich just like that.

Why not choose buy Bitcoin when have issue? With me, if the price of Bitcoin in next time crash a half price in present, I will buy a huge amount Bitcoin and not miss it as in history and missed. Also, with a student can't buy 1-2 BTC, they still can buy 0.x BTC or 0.0x, just need can they accept forget this amount in long time or not?

This is no financial advise!
But if you want to invest make sure it's money you don't need, therefore the loss of it does not hurt you!
Bitcoin still is by far the most dominant crypto coin and if you believe in it's future success it's definitely worth a shot!The upside potential imo is incredibly huge!
However don't try to make quick cash with it. You have to think long term, 5-10 years probably!
Quick money ,however also huge loss due to enormous risk, can be made with altcoins.

So maybe try to invest each month a bit of money and see how it feels for you to have a bit of stake in the crypto space.
Beside that study and research as much as you can about Bitcoin etc., so that you understand the deeper discusssions about new updates, features events, happenings and so on various forums and boards. It's definiely worth it and you can just win by doing so, because cryptos are the future.

I recommend you to invest in bitcoin now with the amount of money you have. But I see that you will feel comfortable investing after the beginning of August. Currently the situation is still not very stable, it is likely that bitcoin prices will continue to move significantly. If the price decreases of course you will experience a loss, so hold your money and wait until the right time / safe time comes.

Bitcoin is good because it can be invested in students and students. I think we should not miss this opportunity to buy coins and keep them for several years. After graduation, you can get a good profit from coins.

it is very worth it to invest as a student. i started investing on bitcoin when i was on college university and i could say that it much better if i put all my excess money on bitcoin because it has a possibility to grow and have the potential to get enough money nor profit on bitcoin. bitcoin is very powerful . think of it i started bitcoin with a price of $500 and now it's almost $3000. wow thats a very big space between that numbers.

I suggest not to invest in bitcoin, especially right now. It is better to wait till the first dates of august and then in case there was no hard fork invest in btc (if the price will be below 2k. If not, I suggest you to invest in other coins, because they are cheaper and have good potential. Invest at least a small sum in dogecoin, it's a very good choice. You may also want to invest into litecoin and ethereum. Good luck and be careful!

Good advice that has likely provided you with handsome profits over the past few years.

I'd recommend putting some of your savings into Bitcoin, and see how it goes.  There's no commitment with it.  If you change your mind down the road you can always convert it back to fiat.

Just put money that you can afford to lose and I think you will be all good. Or you can saved just portion by portion and I'm sure that it no time you will accumulated more than you ever think. But as others have said, just don't do trade otherwise you might lose your money because trading has risk involved. I also would like to say that don't focus on bitcoin but rather focus more on your study kid. I can't say how much you can profit for a year because of the price fluctuations but I guess you will have a solid profit if you are planning to put investment for about 6 months. Specially that bitcoin price is going strong up until in the end of the year. IMHO.

Yes its never late to invest in bitcoin, if you have invested that $250 last year you could have 10x the amount by now  ;) But you missed it so don't miss it for next year.

Any price under $3000 is good entry point for now.

You should do it as soon as possible. There is a possibility that you may retire very rich and even better a possibility that you will retire very early.

OP sounds like he wants to invest not trade? I would say putting his christmas and birthday money into bitcoin is a sound idea especially since it would prevent him from spending it on things he will probably never need anyway. Its not like he is thinking to use money he can't afford to lose as some people have been doing.

Now many years later I made some profit but the functionality and goal of bitcoin or crypto in general remains important for me.

Yeah very simple, from a cleaner to a professor, bitcoin is available for everyone. And as a student, I save some money to buy bitcoin from exchanges. I can tell you (the guy opened the thread) to buy bitcoin.

I am a student (Mathematics) and I am investing all the money that I don't need to use for rent/food/utilities. I would rather stake my money on cryptos (and stocks) than to go out partying and wasting my money on club fees and booze.

There'll always be time to party later, and it'll be much more enjoyable when I don't have to think about the money that I'm spending because I'll have so much (even if crypto goes bad, stock investments are great too).

I recommend don't invest in scheme and such alike it will waste both your time and BTC for God sake, just hold your ideal amount of coin and see if the BTC is rising to your ideal time to sell it just wait and you will know patience is virtue, I think it worth a while to give it a shot and save some decent amount of coin like 2BTC we will never know.

I would say putting his christmas and birthday money into bitcoin is a sound idea especially since it would prevent him from spending it on things he will probably never need anyway. Its not like he is thinking to use money he can't afford to lose as some people have been doing.

He is not asking if we think bitcoin is undervalued, he is asking us how much riches he can get quickly.
I am not judging, it is a common attitude (I am quite the greedy pig myself), but it is also the attitude that is most likely to lose you money.

Hey there. New to the BitcoinTalk forums, happy to be here :)

I'm a student in the UK. I get a few hundred in cash (£250ish) for christmas + birthday money every year and was thinking about investing in Bitcoin. Would you say it is worth investing as a student, especially now with the market rising around BIP91? If so, how much would you recommend? And how much profit would I be able to make within half a year or so?

Don't trade. Get a student job and buy Coins every month with your earned Money. That is what I did from 2014 till now.

If a person knows how, knows what he wants and knows how to earn, then we here say nothing about greed. Everyone gets what they want. If someone wants to have more, then always please.

I think as a student if you are holding that amount and want to invest it in bitcoin.. better to invest it before the price can be increase more soon.. if you heard the price before when the price reach $1,800+ you already made a good profit today and you already make high profit.
And if you holding even 1 btc you can make almost $1000 because of the price increase if you sell your 1 bitcoin right now when the price of bitcoin is $1800+
So it is worth it to invest if you are just investing in bitcoin but investing in other altcoin i can't guaranteed that you can make a good profit it will be still depends in the demand and supply of altcoin.. but much better to stay with bitcoin..

Brother, if it's extra cash to you (as in, you won't be needing it to eat or clothe yourself), then I say go for it.  You could stand to make a pretty decent return.  Just don't make the mistake of using money that you're going to need.  I see a lot of people here doing that.  That is equivalent to gambling the baby's diaper money.

Anyone who gets into bitcoin now is still getting in early.  That's my official position.

Just buy some BTC. Don't try to play the alts, don't try to trade. Hold on to it. You could split up your couple of hundred dollars, buy $50 increments over a fixed time increment (weeks/months/whatever). This is called dollar cost averaging. If you spend it all on BTC at one time, it's easy to get emotionally invested in That Price That I Bought At.

You can wait to see what will be around August 1, because it is possible. Then it is worthwhile to put this money with vodka. Although today the price is still high and should not be bought right now.

It's good to invest while you are studying, you've got ample time to study how market of bitcoin works and as well as the crypto currency. This is the best investment that a student will do. You will focus on your studies and your money will just work for you. As the price of bitcoin is increasing, your capital will also increase.

when you start day trading bitcoin you are competing with: experienced whales, guys with insider knowledge and deep pockets, and many more. it is like gambling, you may win, you may lose.

when you buy bitcoin and just hodl and wait for some years, chances are that you make some very nice profits.

when you start investing in altcoins you are gambling with your possible bitcoin investment. no alt coin has any practical use that comes even close to bitcoin. all altcoins are purely gambling, bitcoin is the only one that has real-life use and therefore it has value.

the forums are full with people that have somehow lost their bitcoin stash due to bad day trading decisions, bad investment into altcoins, panic selling when bitcoin moves down, etc. etc.  on the other hand you will find almost no threads where people started day trading bitcoin and altcoins and were able to build up a decent stash this way.

good luck and welcome to the exiting world of bitcoin.

The biggest thing here would be one of your goals. I can almost guarantee you that any Bitcoin that you buy right this moment or anytime in the near future are going to be worth much more 5 years down the road that they are now. Probably double.

You can look at the history of Bitcoin and say that over a long period of time has gone from zero to almost $3,000. So for your long-term goal if you're looking for a startup fun for when you get out of school then just buy Bitcoin and let it do its thing every once in a while buy more

Bitcoin is available to all. If you are a student I doubt that you have extra money to invest in bitcoin. Try it in your spare time to earn coins. Is very suitable for this this forum. You will not only learn the answers to all the questions that interest you, but also be able to earn a bit of money for the signature.

Whether a student or an oldie, Bitcoin has been favorable to everyone since it came into existence. It always gave more than what everyone expected.
No one knows the actual value of Bitcoins, but it is sure that it will rise every now and then due to the increase in its adopters.

I agree with everything here said. If you spend some time on here on forum you can learn lots of things about bitcoin and would help you to make decision. I would just add that predictions said that price of bitcoin will grow and might be good time to buy some. For few years maybe price will be so big that we couldn't afford it.

Yes it is a nice to hear as a student investing in bitcoin  yes it is worth it. Bitcoin is open to all it has offer services which us can earn profit. Investing as a student is nice plan that you aim to earn money for your studies. All I can say is be careful on your investment just choose worth to invest with and just invest on what you can afford.

Investing in bitcoins is the best idea.Just buy bitcoins before august 1 as price is expected to skyrocket after that.Bitcoin has almost tripled in its price in the past six months.So if same trend continues,surely you could double your investment within half a year.

I agree with you, now is a very good time to invest in bitcoin. The price has slightly decreased and everyone has a good chance to buy bitcoin at a pleasant price. After August 1, still some price fluctuations are possible, but this need not be feared

If you want to you can set that up on a fairly regular basis make sure it's structured for yourself at The X number of dollars every X number of days. Now on the other hand, if you're looking for something that's going to make you money between this week and next week and third week that Bitcoin is actually kind of dangerous. It really depends on how quickly you need to get your money back out that you've invested.

Everyone saying that bitcoin price will be dip more than 500$ to 1000$ as of now. Please wait till August 1st, don't invest your amount before the this date. There is a chance of other altcoins value may increase without the changes in the bitcoin price chart.

Hard to know. This event affects bitcoin strongly and many people do not want to hold bitcoin anymore. However, as a bitcoiners, I always believe in bitcoin that it will have a bright future. If you are scared about this event, I believe that investing in altcoin will surely give you a great amount of money

I would recommend investing a little in Bitcoins but it should be money you are willing to hold there for a few years or even 15 or more years to really see a good benefit. Therefore, you shouldn't invest money you will need access to quickly.

The reason for this recommendation is that the price is currently high but there's a lot of fluctuation. Don't be surprised to see the price drop some before it rises again but if you wait it out, there is a chance for a big payoff. Also be aware that Bitcoin is still a high risk investment and something could still happen to cause it to fail.

First i would recommend for you to wait, wait to see what will happen with bitcoin after segwit coming on 1st of August. If everything works fine, i would suggest for you to invest that money in to bitcoin. So far bitcoin was always good investment, and people that invested in it did not regret it. Price has been rising, and i believe it will continue to do so.

The past two weeks have seen the numbers go anywhere from just above $2,000 just under 3,000. So it is highly conceivable that if you absolutely need to get your money back out you could buy in today at 2700 and when you try to buy back out 48 hours from now you might be sitting at 2500 2300 even as long as 2100.

It is better that you want start investment and earnings in this field at very low age but you should be careful that it is that field where it is not easy to make money as people are saying because here you need lot of experience and also to go through the profit and loss back to back to understand the market fully .
So here instead to think to invest your money in btc only , try to invest in multiple coins , so that you can lower the risk of investment loss .
But you also should be careful that if you get loss in a coin then don't sell because it is truth in every coin that one day it will rise , so hold until you get profit ( That needed patience to hold that coin for long run ) .

Yes ofcourse , it will help you in your future life and you will learn how to be a smart investor/ businessman because it also have those values in the road for you to learn.
Speaking on the profit it depends ,the best is scattering your money in different altcoins not only in bitcoins .Yoir profit will depends on it you may able to earn 5x or more than 10x within half year.

You should be a long term holder in bitcoin, if you are here for short term investments then you should invest in an ICO which most of the people does to get around 2x return.

Its easier to learn when you are young, people deal with losses easier, people stand up faster after fall when they are young. Point is that everything is easier when you are young and fresh, so there is no better time for investing.
About profit is really hard to say, there is many variables. If you just plan to buy and hold then you can count on little profit, maybe double or triple, but if you plan to invest in bitcoins and then to invest bitcoins in some business or service then literally everything can happen and you can make a huge profit.
Don't hurry, learn about bitcoins, buy some bitcoins and then when you're sure in yourself make a move and maybe you will have luck and make a fortune.

I was use to do like that so.In bitcoin their is no loss.Due to some fluctuations you got loss so,it will not affect your peaceful life.If you start to inverse from student stage means ,you will became a richest person.
The fact is that even today students are very much starting to understand the crypto currency. And thus, they themselves provide for life and for learning. I am very glad that there is such an opportunity for young people.

You have to make this decision on your own in the end. This is a forum for Bitcoin advocates (in general) so the majority will agree that it's worth investing some money in. Never more than you can lose, and have realistic expectations. Welcome!

yes, definitely. Invest as much as you are willing to lose and enter the ecosystem. it is different when you own some btc
It is not about that that people should lose to investing in bitcoin. Because it is up to people that how much they are. How much they can that they are even able to have money in their hands. Because if you are student you should invest for part time. That you will have money for your fees and hostel fees etc. because this is important for all those student who are out of home and belong to poor family.

Actually, most of the students have absolutely no clue what cryptos are about. They've heard about Bitcoin here and there, but that's about it. I only know one single person that is dabbling in Bitcoin, and he's in Finance to begin with.
Of course, this is bound to change soon, as cryptos are slowly reaching the mainstream.

Hey there. New to the BitcoinTalk forums, happy to be here :)

I'm a student in the UK. I get a few hundred in cash (£250ish) for christmas + birthday money every year and was thinking about investing in Bitcoin. Would you say it is worth investing as a student, especially now with the market rising around BIP91? If so, how much would you recommend? And how much profit would I be able to make within half a year or so?
I am student myself and my first investment is Bitcoin only. Bitcoin is the best investment to start with because of the risk factor. Bitcoin has always been profitable if you hold it for sometime. I have already doubled my initial investment in just 3-4 months. I would definitely recommend you to start investing in Bitcoin. In half a year you might double your investment. How much you want to invest depends upon how much money you won't be needing soon. I can assure you that you would not lose anything if you will wait for 5-6 months.

I am also a student, we are the same, so, I want you to learn the experience in this forum if you want to make money. And the best job here is what suits you as a participant in signature campaigns. It is a steady job, it can help you make a lot of money.

Thats good to hear.You can invest in bitcoins even now.When you start investing in bitcoin now itself while studying,in future it would sure grow in to a big amount which would be helpful for your future needs.Even my friend who was studying in europe only introduced me bitcoin.

No doubt, Bitcoin is lucrative investment with not much technical jargon or knowledge as required in Stock Markets. As a student, it is indeed a worthy investment and can come up as aid in shaping your future. Although, 250 pounds isn't big enough investment to expect huge but still decent start. As community has positive approach towards upcoming forks ( unlike USAF & BCH which attracted only negativity ) so you can expect 200-300% return on your investment in one year.

You could invest in BTC, ETH and maybe long term ICO's startups.

Many of them are very creative, transparent with good product&idea.

So you win with BTC buy on long term and ICO tokens which could rise in next years  x20 x50   + bitcoin price will rise so you win double time  ;D

Investing in bitcoin is quite good to earn more money but then if you weren't aware about somethings then investing is also kind of risky. You might lose or not. Trading is also good if you want. But you must be a risk takers.

as a student you shouldn't invest your money but if it's your own choice its ok no problem but investing in bitcoin is not easy that most of people said. when you placed your money in wrong investment you potentially lose your money. so only trust proofed place of investment.

I think you're mixing up a few things here. Investing in Bitcoin can't result in a loss of money, unless you lose access to your private keys, or you get hacked in one way or another. What you are referring to are optional investments, such as investing in casino bank rolls, ICO's, altcoins, cloud mining, etc. I consider these investments to be completely useless, as they require you to expose yourself and your Bitcoins to unneeded risks. If you just stick to investing in Bitcoin itself, and keep holding these coins for the long term, you (1) aren't exposed to unneeded risks, and (2) you actually will see your wealth grow. People that want to invest in other assets and services anyway, then they are free to do so, but they shouldn't complain when things go wrong.

This is so not true. Where have you come from? Since when investments without risk exist? So investment in Bitcoin is risky too because the price is volatile and market changes all the time and, yes, you could lose your money. So don't give to people false information and fake hope that they can't lose money with Bitcoins.

Investing is a good way to make use of your money, but only if you know everything here in bitcoin because you might get spammed. I suggest that before you do such action make sure that you've done enough research and get enough information on how your money will really profit.So be careful, I understand you as a students who needs a money for school payments.

In my opinion if him/her is student and need money for school payments, why not find other job outside and working that? The way investing is very difficult and it can make the life of student in future worse more if they take some loss when trading.

You are right but look at the problem from the other side. In order to make money the student will need to develop a whole day. When he to learn? For trading on the stock exchange, he needs to be distracted from studying for two hours.

In that case, personally I would not invest.
As a student you need your money every day. I think there are better things you can do with your birthday money than investing it. Like enjoying your life, for example.
Besides, there is no guarantee that you end up making profit. And six months is a relatively short period for an investment.
Later, when you have a regular job and 250 pounds are not that much anymore, invest it!
But for a longer term then. And maybe even a larger amount.

For short term necessity it's not the right decision to invest into bitcoin and profit out of the same to meet his requirements. One who has a long term plans could invest and profit high, because till date the growth in the price has a large scale variation based on the time period it's been held within the wallet without using it for any sort of needs.

l
He doesn't need to consume 2 hours to studying ,he is free to study it when he have a free time to do it . You can't also earn from the start in just one day learning isn't done in an hours or a day it needs months or year to be fully learned.

It is really worth it to invest especially that you're student and you had allowance that your parents gave. I would recommend that save all of your extra allowance as long as you can or maybe your whole allowance and invest it all in btc. Don't think a single doubt on btc and buy as many as you can. Also, don't think on how long you can have an ROI, lemme tell you boy waiting is worth it in the world of btc.

Definitely. I think that it is a great idea for young people to start investing in cryptos because bitcoin is going to appreciate greatly in the long run. A lot of ]older people don't have the benefit of time on their side to see their investment grow to higher heights.

Apart from christmas and birthday money i would actually suggest you active try to search for a steady stream of income, for example just working a part time job at your local fast food chain every day for a few hours. Putting that money into your bitcoin stash will increase it quite substantially.

Don't expect to make any sort of easy short term profits. Rather be prepared for the price to go down in the short run. But make sure that you continue buying during the dips because that's how you get cheap coins. Focus on the long, long term. Longer the better. Don't sell easily.

You can earn but you should have an ico power as well because they need a time and patience if you are giving patience then you will have success in that if you are not giving patience then you will be fail so you should need give a time to yourself for these things then you will do something new if you cannot then you are useless to waste your time.

You don't need $10000000000000 to invest, buy a little here and there with some extra money(or save up to buy in one bulk). Having $30 invested and watching it go up and down can be fun and also interesting. You will learn a lot about cryptos, investing, but also money in general. There is no better opportunity available to the general public as of right now.
