Bitcoin Forum

Hi I am a newbie and I am planning to invest ETH coin but I only have limited amount of money to start investing. Can I buy less than 1 ETH?Your response are greatly appreciated.Thank you.  :)

Absolutely all exchanges, offer you can buy in 100,000 increments. it's good to buy over .05 so you can not losing in transactions fees. Having said that Ether transactions fees are low.

yes of course but you you should have btc first to buy eth. i am not yet trying to buy eth directly with fiat because i have btc. btw, if you want to buy eth, i think you can install jaxx or coinomi and send your btc to that wallet so you can buy directly the eth and then you can hold it for a while.

Really?You can only buy ETH using BTC?I thought we can buy directly.

Of course yes u can buy what are you need from exchanges you can buy with btc or usd

You can buy it directly. I bought .5ETH the other week from coinbase.

Of course you can buy ETH directly with USD. Some reputable exchanges like Kraken, GDAX, Bitfinex, Bitstamp, and Gemini have ETH/USD trading pair.

minimun 0.05 ETH (Bitfinex) (around 18 usd)

Yeah its possible to buy just 0.1 or 0.0001 ETH, so investors with a smaller budget can invest also! Would be crazy if people need a capital over 20,000$ in 2020 to get a bitcoin investor :D :D

Yes, of course. That is great of you to plan joining even with a minimal starting investment into ETH. Do not worry, that investment of yours will for sure grow in value over time. Perhaps you could reach the 1 ETH within a couple of months.

The sooner you get into Ethereum the happier you will be in the long run. What seemed like a small amount invested in Ethereum (or Bitcoin for that matter) a couple of years is today a large amount. The same is likely to be true in a few years.

if you are from US I guess you can use coinbase to directly buy your eth even in a small fraction as long as you have money to buy it, and you got a good decision mate, holding eth for little some years will bring you a huge profits, don't confuse yourself about 1 whole eth its still up to you whether you buy the
whole or buy some piece.

so many different things are possible but the questions you should also be asking is if it is wise to even buy ETH?

with the bubble, the dump, ICO scams, China banning ETH platforms for ICO, the hard fork split and all that things may get bad.

It is very possible to buy any amount of ethereum even other alt-coin! It is your choice then, but there are also another way to earn it without investment and that is by joining bounty campaign here in bitcointalk services...

Absolutely yes. Any altcoins can buy in any amount but if you want to earn more in trading it is advisable to invest higjer amount so that when you sell it you will earn a lot. But as you sad you have small and limited starting capital so it is not bad to invest with it as long as you know how to trade and make sure that you gaining rather than lossing your capital. And one more thing before you can buy eth you need to buy bitcoin first and use your bitcoin to buy the eth.

As most of the guys have already answered here, the best thing about crypto currencies is that they can be divided into fractions. This is something that is not possible in the case of FIAT. This is why cryptos are more like gold and silver or any other precious metals that you can buy in fractions.

Yes, you can buy in the exchanges before that you need to convert your fiat currency into bitcoin and then you can transfer it to the exchange. But right now the value of ETH is around 285$ if you have enough money you can even buy whole ETH in the exchange.

yup it is possible to buy a fraction of an ETHEREUM, there are two option it is either buying via bitcoin exchange or direct fiat exchange like USD , GBP, JPY ,CNY ,KRW. it depends where you located at because some fiat exchanges restrict other region or country, for convenience wise. it is better purchased BTC first then exchange it to ETH, Bittrex is highly recommended for me to buy ETH.

In any exchange site platform first you need to have bitcoin balance before anything else of course. Then if you already have bitcoin in the platform you are now able to buy Eth in any amount you have in your bitcoin balance.

You even buy 0.0019 ethereum through shapeshift.io, if you have very few amount of usd or other coins you can use shapeshift to exchange your coin for ethereum, they accept also usdt.

You can buy parts of a ETH as you can buy parts of a BTC. It might not be clear at first, because BTC is more overall in use, you can do this, and also you can buy parts of, I believe any other altcoin that exists.  And you can also buy ETH with USD!

I used to be confused about this issue, because I believe in Poloniex, you have to send 1 whole Ether to your wallet before it appears or something, but if you buy them from the exchange then you have no trouble buying smaller amounts.

Surly you can buy less than 1 ETH, everything depends of how much money you are ready to invest. But I doubt that such little investment will bring you a lot of profit, which you are must be suppose to get in the future, There is the only option for you is to add this amount with some more investment to raise the final amount. I count Etherum as one of the most perspective investment, this coin has the future doubtless.

You can surely buy less than 1 ETH. That is the best thing about cryto currency exchanges. I remember a month ago i bought .01 eth coz i have to transfer my token into some exchange and they have like .002eth fee. You can also buy ETH with USD.

Yes most certainty, go to an exchange and you will see that it can be held in fractions.

Yes, it is possible.Only requirement is that you have account in any exchange and funds in your BTC wallet to purchase ETH. There is no limit to buy 1 ETH, you can buy for any amount and you get ETH as per your buying value. No limit on minimum buy on any altcoin but some exchanges require minimum amount of buy. Bittrex require minimum buying of 0.00050000 BTC and Yobit require only 0.00010000.

Yes there is no limit, but you have to meet these exchanges primary criteria to buy your altcoins. My suggestion is to invest a minimum $50 because you will get a decent profit. If you invest less than this amount, then it is a bit difficult to increase your ETH with trading. Or else the same amount you can invest in less value altcoin and increase your bankroll after reaching once decent amount you can buy ETH, it's your choice.

Definitely yes it is possible to all of us to buy less than 1 ETH, actually if your in the exchanges platform just you have a bitcoin balance you can buy Eth even for 0.0005BTC that is allowable very much mate.

Of course you can, but a little advice, if you have a small capital avoid transacting because it will instead spend your money for transaction costs, use the best possible opportunity in choosing the moment.

go as you feel like buddy, it's all ours : ) buy in any figures

I buy small change cryptos all the time but most of the times I put orders and leave them be, as I try to buy a little cheaper than the market is at that moment. If you buys smaller amounts more frequently it also hurts less if ETH drops from $400 to $280 as it did a while back.

You can usually buy any amount you want, but sometimes there is a minimum of $1-2. Also keep in mind that commission can be fixed, so you can get $2 in ETH and pay $5.

You can buy ETH directly for fiat currencies at cryptonator or cex.io (these two I use myself)

Good luck!

Lol. Of course you can man! As long as the amount being bought is bugger than the fees, you should be good. Amd good thing you chose etherium. Because it has quite low transaction fees. And that would really emable you to buy smaller fractions of the coin. But you have to be careful in buying. Make sure that the place where you are buying is legitimate and secure. Also, be sure with the type of wallet you will be using to prevent any mishaps.

Goodluck man.

I'm newbie and interested to invest in ICOs, based on my research usually the minimum of contribution is about 0,01 ETH. so i would like to say YES YOU CAN!

Yes, that's possible. I bought 0.2ETH last week on liqui trading platform and I used Bitcoin to buy it. You can also buy directly in USD, not necessarily buy with Bitcoin. There are some eth shopping sites or you can also contact directly to individuals selling Eth but be careful because scams are everywhere, you should consult others about their credibility before buy. Eth is now a very potential coin, if you intend to invest then you should buy it now :D

You can buy tiny fractions of just about any altcoin, and also bitcoin. But please be aware that wherever you buy it, there will be also be a cost involved for the transaction. So if you spend $50, you will end up with less than $50 worth of ETH. Every time you move it or convert to another coin or $, there will be a cost involved.

You can and even just try to buy a little amount of ethereum, The important thing to remember if you must pay the fees that already settled by the Exchange sites. And you will be free to buy whatever how much as you need to buy it.

Yes it is possible to buy less than 1 ETH. I have 0.0093ETH in my Imtoken wallet. If you buy way too low your transaction cost will be comparatively higher. Also if you are looking to buy ETH directly with USD or EURO check coinbase. It has a simple easy to use platform for beginners and there is GDAX which is owned by coinbase for more professional traders which charges substantially low fees for trading. Good luck

The answer is yes, since Ethereum like any other cryptocurrencies can be divided into smaller units, which makes cryptocurrencies very flexible.

Yes of course! You can buy fraction of Eth (i.e. less than 1 Eth).

And if you're buying from an exchange, you can definitely use any of the available payment methods listed there (including FIAT or regular currency like USD, Euro...) & if you hold any other crypto currency (BTC or others); you can always use sites (like shapeshift) to exchange it for Eth

                      Yes you can buy. Make your plans move, there is also no limits in buying as long as you have the money and you are willing and ready to risk money. Remember risk the amount you can afford to lose, so in the end you wont be disappointed, while you have invested, study and feed your brain lots of knowledge about what you are investing, inside or outside this forum.

There are so many potential coins out there and will grow slowly, all you need is time. I've invested 0.2 / 0.3 / 0.4 eth of coins before during their ICO. I'd say buy in with bonus if there's any but also, do some research before you purchase any ICO coins. THere are lots of fraud out there!

If you will have to buy that amount lesser than 1 ETh, that's too small and although you can buy in cheaper amount it's not guaranteed earning higher profit with that amount. Maybe you will gain bigger value unless it's price rises at $2000 same with bitcoin value. As long as you patiently wait and there's possibility, then why not if we dreamed it; for it served as our inspirations of having bigger profit from small investments.

Yes, but I think that now is not the time to buy Ethereum, better wait a bit, the price will slightly fall.

This is a logical question - I hear it quite often when new members join the crypto-currency!

Ethereum breaks down to 100,000 increments!

That means it allows you to buy as much as you like depending on the money you would like to invest.

The same applies with all crypto-currencies, at least the ones that I am aware of.

Yes, depending on the seller. But if you cannot find any seller, you can convert BTC into ETH or other crypto.

Yes, now you can have bitcoins at blockchain.info and exchange them in wallet for a low fee. That if you want to hold ETH you can do the exchange vise versa if you want.

It is possible to buy any amount of any coin. Some exchanges require minimum purchase, like bittrex require 0.00050000 BTC and yobit require 0.00010000 BTC as minimum. You only require BTC balance in your wallet to purchase any coin.

Yes, you can buy less than 1ETH. When i started trading i only have 100usd and i just continue my savings. And continue my investment. The greater investment is the more ptofit you can get.

Yes it is possible to buy less than 1 ETH. ETH is Most Famous coin in this world it is a Great one. If You Buy ETH it is for your future and you can make a money ETH from crypto currency.
