Title: I am new to investing I have a question, if i invest 20$
Post by: NativeSoldier on December 23, 2013, 03:21:44 AM
1 bitcoin is currently going for 650$ but lets say I invest 20$ into coinbase and then 1 bitcoin becomes worth 750$ does that mean my 20$ will become a higher profit or do I need to buy one bitcoin to see a profit ... I am confused lol so anything I invest even if its a dollar as long as bitcoin profits rise that dollar rises correct?

Bitcoin is not an investment. You could obtain 0.02 bitcoin, but nobody honest is going to promise you anything in return, except that you now have internet money you can spend on things. Most believe that in the long term though, Bitcoin has only two options, to zero or to the moon.

You obtain the BTC at the market price bitcoin moves up or down when you sell if you bought cheaper == $$$ if you sell more expensive or same price including fee == Loss :)

Your thinking too hard, Its very simple just dont think of one btc meaning anything special.

If you buy .5 btc when one whole btc is $100 and then you sell that .5 btc (which you bought FOR $50) when one whole btc goes to $300, then you will receive .5 of the new btc price($300), so you made $100 profit (sold for $150 - $50 original investment)

If you invest $20 you will get a fraction of a Bitcoin.

If the price of Bitcoin goes up your fraction of a Bitcoin will be worth more so if you sold it you would get more than your initial $20.

If the price of Bitcoin goes down your fraction of a Bitcoin will be worth less so if you sold it you would get less than your initial $20.

Yes, in your example you will be able to sell your 0.03077 Bitcoins for 23$
