Bitcoin Forum

Hi guys,

I don't have a huge amount of money to start but I believe in BTC in long term. Althought I can't afford the whole 1 Btc, but I'm planning to buy and hold little by little monthly ( maybe until i get 1 Btc or more) . Is it wise to hold BTC in 2018? Please I need some honest answer.


Ps: ETH I def will start holding soon too :D

I would like to ask the same question.
Maybe I should buy more ETH rather than 1 BTC. What do you think? Thanks!

Bitcoin will hit 10k before January, so I would at least keep it until then.
I am expecting some correction after it hits 10k, but the trend seems to be bullish for now.

I think it's better to keep the funds in BTC, but if you make transfers quite often, ETH would be much better to hold

Is advisable to start holding BTC now. Bitcoins have come to stay and it is the future currency we have all been waiting for.

The beginner needs to learn the way to earn money on ICO. This is the best method if you have a little cash.

You are saying that ethereum is much more profitable at the moment, well, maybe you are right.

Just go to coinmarketcap or any other site in where you can find some charts about the prices, you can easily see that bitcoin only increased by 10 times during this year, while ethereum rised by more than 14 times, so yes, ethereum was the most profitable coin during this year (talking about the strongest, of course)

It will easily be touching more than $1000 by the next year, but we still do not know when it will happen, but bitcoin can not be compared, it increased a lot and it will keep increasing ,because it is still the #1 on the market, and this is making the whole difference.

IMO, yes! Bitcoin is getting so much public attention lately that it seems that it will continue to grow in the coming years...

However, the forks [BCC and BTG] are also gaining momentum so they are worth looking at too.

It’s hard to say when a correction might occur so you need to take that into consideration. I will be holding through 2018 no matter what and probably well beyond that. I think there are a lot of new investors just learning about Bitcoin so my guess is that there is more room for a rise before a correction, but I could be wrong. If I am wrong, I am willing to wait out a correction or a crash until it recovers and reaches a new high.

I think that is a good idea. I might actually try that myself. Thanks for the reminder!

Yes BTC will be profitable.

You should hold bitcoin since the massive adoption will start pretty soon. But since you don't have much money I will advice you to do the airdrop. You could make real money just by subscribing to form and then buy ETH/BTC or whatever you like.

At the moment BTC looks like one of the most perspective cryptocurrency. Thats why it makes sense to invest in BTC next year.

Yes of course. You can even it make than selling

Im also noob and im holding.

Of course it is a yes, buy bitcoin now and just hold it next year will be another year of bitcoin to rise and it might double the price from now

Definitely buy Bitcoins. You don't have to buy a full one, like a tenth is fine too. Some investors say that Bitcoins could grow to 100,000 per coin.
I'm keeping mine in the Blockchain wallet (https://blockchain.info/wallet/) and some in HexaBot (https://hexabot.top/?r=ZVaults) to give me a bit of profit.

Since you're in it for the long term, Bitcoin is definitely worth holding on to.

Holding (hodling for hardcore cryptopeeps) BTC will always bring you some profit for long term approach, that's what I always believe and that hasn't been changed in the recent months. So, yes, start holding your BTC next year as more people will get acquainted to it and will probably buy it up. One example is that almost all of the officemates that I have in our department are now buying BTC with their bonus pay for this year. It would be best if you'll start buying BTC now. Just don't put all your money to one trade and try to use the averaging technique. In that way, you can still buy BTC when the price tanks after the selloff phase (which I believe is inevitable).

Buy now, tomorrow might be too late

There is a major bump comming for BTC in the next couple of days

Shits about to go down (but up first)

Dont bother with holding ETH at this moment. If you want to buy bitcoin (satoshis) then go ahead with it. You could start by purchasing as much amount you could afford. If monthly investment is too less to purchase the bitcoin then go ahead with bimonthly strategy or trimonthly strategy. That will help you in getting satoshis(bitcoins) in chunk.

You don't have to buy the whole bitcoin. What's the difference if it's 1 or 0.1? What matters is the ROI. Let's say you bought a load of shitcoins for $100 and they rose 50-100% a year. Now imagine you bought 0.01 bitcoin for the same $100 and it will rise 300-500%. By the way, now it would be a perfect time to buy some since bitcoin dropped.

If you are, I will buy now, because this year it will increase 20k/1btc, just take money and go go let go  :-* :-*

start holding now before its too late.actually its already late now.but still not too late..

Some investors say that Bitcoins could grow to 100,000 per coin.
I'm keeping mine in the Blockchain wallet and some in HexaBot to give me a bit of profit.
I found an interesting project recently but Im in doubt. Mytimecoin, its like casback by coins for watching or using information from partners of it. Have anyone heard about it?

IMO, BTC is worth holding on to. Buying BTC bit by bit every month is a good way to accumulate your BTC. But just take note of the transaction fees, sometimes transaction fees can stand a significant cost of smaller transaction.

I think that is a good idea. Just keep pumping money into bitcoin and then collect it. Yes bitcoin will go down and up and you will worry but ultimately it will go up.

Btw think about this. A casino still makes money with only a 1% house edge. But have you seen their graphs?? there massive dips but they always go up again and they keep going up even though they might have huge dips.

In my opinion, you should expect the maximum responses in this topic, everything is great and of different levels, another factor is learning a lot, getting or buying is just factors.

now before too late

I would suggest you to hold it as the price is increasing every day.

You definitely should.

When I first came to know about BTC it was in low $300 range and I thought it has became very expensive (judging from it's past value of $1-2).. but man, was I wrong? .. Yes. A lot.

Next time I saw, It was already $5500 ... a freakin 20x up from last year. Then I bought as many as I could.

I believe BTC will still go up and I am going to buy more next week.

So, yeah. You should hold BTC into 2018... but try diversifying, if you capital allows.

Yes! But you should keep two crypto currency one must be BITCOIN and the other one must have the change to become like bitcoin or immediately increase its value in a  days, weeks or months.

Yes, Bitcoin will go up and down several times, but you should keep holding you Bitcoins.

In my opinion, you should expect the maximum responses in this topic, everything is great and of different levels, another factor is learning a lot, getting or buying is just factors. You know, but it’s really interesting to watch how cryptocurrency is becoming more available for each of us. https://mytc.io/ Ive just checked their website and wanna try it. A blockchain platform to turn time into the cryptocurrency.

if you have money for now, you can buy it now then hold it. bitcoin prices will keep rising until 2018, Now is better to invest than tomorrow. more and more people are going to invest in bitcoin, the price will automatically skyrocket again. what are u waiting for guys?

Yes, you should buy and hold now, price bitcoin can increase to $20k in 2018, beside if you also should buy and hold Ethereum

Keep up now, maybe btc will increase to 15k or 20k in half of 2018

It's hard to predict whether bitcoin will be worth the next year, but I think it's going to be good in 2018 that will bring great profits.

So far the price has been so great and maybe it will be much more in the next few years, so i guess this is the right time to start holding bitcoin  

I'm an alt coin crytohead, if you want longterm stability - go for BTC (it's a proven company - it works).

Most of the alts are businesses in the making.

Just my thoughts

Hello,please at what rate does bitcoin increase?

If you are using cryptocurrency as an investment I would hold onto it for years. It is here to stay and will keep going up over time. With more people becoming aware of it and all the companies starting to get into crypto Bitcoin will continue to skyrocket for many many years.

I think you should go for BTC because more and more people get interested and the awareness is bigger and bigger. So more people will buy and use so the price will rise.

Nobody doesn't have the exact guess about the Bitcoin price because many people are saying it will touch more than 25000$ by next year. I am also newbie like you to learn many new things about the Bitcoin, but what i can say it will reach 13000$ by the end of the year.

Caution: It's only my prediction don't stick to it.

It's never too late to start doing something. The same would be say about bitcoin. Today's price is $ 11,800, but two weeks later — $ 15,000...

That is going to be good. Bitcoin is the most liquid and fast growing crypto currency. I am plan to do the same after I will have some extra money, but I'm also plan to share those money and for Etgerum as well, people on the forum are saying it will also cost like 1000-2000$ in sooner time.

I was reading about it and it sounds that its one of the easiest way to get tokens..but is it worth to try?

Definitely,  just look at the news right now,  people and businesses are starting to consider bitcoins,  and watch some of the videos about the future of bitcoins.  Surely you will want to keep your btc. 

I thing buy ETH right now.

I think the long-term trend of BTC is good, so I feel that buying at a low point is a very good choice and hold it for a long time until you feel the right price.

Definitely there's a lot of talk about that,in case of that the number of sites accepting that as a form of payment can increase significantly would be useful in the future.

Hi guys, I am new to bitcointalk.org, I just wanted to ask if there are still decent ways to mine Bitcoin on a desktop. I mean, almost everyone is using a miner or any other hardware to do so.

I'm afraid not. Even the most powerful desktop can't mine Bitcoin nowadays. You'll just waste your PC's hardware in the process without any worthwhile return.

i think 2018 is a good year to invest cryptocurrentcies, many coin growing rapidly in 2017
including etherium, bitcoin cash, ripple and stellar

Thanks for the reply,

What would be an estimated budget needed to build a decent rig to mine. Mostly in altcoins, since bitcoin is much more harder to mine.

Or maybe you need to invest in alts, see what their prices and prospects are. Can not this please and give the realization that they are the next who will replace bitcoin after its collapse.

the best choice is hold your bitcoin for the long time
I am sure the price of bitcoin will be increase more in the next year until 2020.

Less than 1% people own any Bitcoin. Imagine when it goes mainstream. The price will surely go up. Especially, if you believe in it yourself, go for it.

BTC will be profitable sometime BTC can hit upto $25000 for next year.

I think that is a good idea. I might actually try that myself. Thanks for the reminder!
By the way, have anyone heard about mytimecoin project? Its kind of encouraging you spending time in the internet by tokens. Its not new idea but its interesting how tokes could be available for everyone.

Yes, just hold your bitcoin because there are many speculations that bitcoin will still rise until next year. So if you start investing today, by next year you will gain more profit. As for Eth, start to invest also for eth now as its price is not yet high. Some bitcoiners say that as bitcoin rise, the altcoins also follow.

Sooner or later BTC and a few other currencies will go mainstram and that will change the market. Nobody known when that will be.
So I'd keep my BTC, ETH etc.

Hey
nobody can predict was i going the happen. a lot of people say its a bubble and going the crash others say its going to skyrocket in 2018.

It is good to hold some Bitcoin, but diversity is the best. Look for promising coins that can easily go ×10 that are still sold for few cents, or few dollars. That was how Bitcoin started until it grew big.

Though I am not a beginner, I can say that bitcoin operedelenno will grow..
Therefore, I recommend 3 aspect.
1) Collect bonuses+friends will help
2) mining your equipment
3) Cloud mining.
In principle, these simple rules you can go to the income of about 0.001-0.002 BTC in day.
If I can share my experience, in private messages)

You should start holding bitcoins right now to maximize your possible income everyday Bitcoin's price is going up. You should start right away do not wait till next year.

Mining still perspective? I think much easier just buy some coins.

I think it's better for you . While a starter you should buy some btc for future. I Believe that btc price cross 20k $ in next year . If you will be a traders you should buy & stock some btc . I hope You will get some profit next year .

Thank you

Holding btc is always a good option whenever you think the ahead road looks good. Especially now what has happened is that it is gaining some resistance at this level which is a good thing and it will help to move up from here. Unless their is some negative news than you can sell and buy again later else holding helps to gets the good profits.

I mining and make 0.01 BTC every day, easy...
If you want ask me!

better to start hold it now, because the price will be more up again in 2018, there some affect to bitcoin price such fork, there so many fork news that i read, it will influence the price of bitcoin automatically will be higher again. then, investors who attract to invest in bitcoin. so much investors that wonder about bitcoin and want to put their money as investment. it will make the bitcoin price get higher again.

Helo. Can i ask for a help to know when can i get btc free. Bcoz im only a newbie dont have any amount for investment, for buying.
Tnx a lot.

In my opinion, the early you start on your trading the better you will get.

I think the price of BTC ETH LTC will be increase 2018... So we should hold some of them.
I already buy some LTC... :)

I think BTC may start betting price in next year 2018, it is a good idea

I though btc is hard to earn profit if you are trying to buy now, I will prefer other altcoins. Maybe it will gives us more profit, you don't to trade your bitcoin just hodl until the price is rising again.

am i right , that you only got into the game of crypto for the quick profits ?
then you should really consider getting Altcoins.
Even longterm i am not sure about BTC , depending on what you consider is longterm..

I started to hold over 20 different coins since august 2016 and everytime a coin makes 100%+ profit , i take 50% and invest them into a new coin i dont have yet.
 
Anyway , you might want to consider altcoins over BTC but its allways good to have a little bit of everything ; )
Diversify! (aka : dont put all your eggs in one basket )

Yeaah bitcoin will be good investment in long time I believed too. If you start hodling know it would means you can still have more profit in future because BTC price is lower now than what it could be in next year. But still consider that investing in bitcoin is risky also.

First never forget :  Never invest more than you can afford to lose.

If it's for a long term. I think it's a good idea to invest in btc. And as you want to buy little monthly of course it will be good to buy when you see a  sharp decline (10%). I know it's more easy to say that to do.

I'd recommend checking out some altcoins, do a little research and find ones that you believe to be promising. Investing early into promising altcoins can see the best returns for small investments. Altcoin investments are far riskier than investing in Bitcoin.

I think anyone here is wonder about the same question... I really believed that after btc=10.000 $ there was a retracement, but... I was horribly wrong.
About 2018... with bitcoin, just a week is an eternity.
We'll see.

Yes keep buying small amounts. Slowly convert the fiat you have into crypto and the more and longer you do it the more your confidence will grow and the more your ratio of fiat/bitcoin will be. Remember there is no need to sell Bitcoin to fiat, that is pointless and defeats the entire point of bitcoin. Each and every day that goes past more and more eooe are accepting bitcoin as payment so hold on to it you will not regret it.

Why you're waiting for 2018 just buy and hold now. If I could buy only a small amounty of bitcoin now. I will hold until the 1st quarter of 2018 and sell it.

Ethereum is also a good based on my research.

i also try to buy bitcoins now.becuse bit coin price increasing increasing.not reduce the price.now ETH also going up.

You have only one life !

Sell your house, your car, your bike, your wife and go go bitcoin, in 2 years you'll be millionaire !

(just in case : I'm joking)

I don't know. If I were you, I'd spend this money on some other cryptocurrencies. Some of the tope ones and noth that exepnsive. Plus, I'd buy absolutely different ones.

i would suggest you hold some altcoins if you want to make money since they are probably gonna go up faster than bitcoin!
