Title: When to buy?
Post by: BitcoinSteve on January 08, 2014, 12:15:23 AM
I obtained just over 1 btc last month, probably spent about $650 so far made a little $... Anyways BTC was about $1040 last night and is around $890 now.  I want to purchase .1 more to add (trying to get slowly to 2 btc) anyways should I buy now or wait to see if it keeps lowering?

I'd buy now no telling where it's going to go. I'd say just buy and hold.

In it for the long term?  If so the best time to buy is the time that your funds become available to spend on your exchange.  If you are in it for the short term good luck, your going to need it.

buy 0.1 per day over the next 10 days.

Long term, I only have  a little over 1 btc right now.  Not looking to buy and resell, looking to buy low and sit..

wait at least a week, perhaps 2 if you are not trading the bounces, this is most likely NOT the bottom

If you are looking to hodl long term, .1 btc isn't worth the risk of buying cheap. Missing the train altogether might hurt you more.

BUT, chances are we will test 750 on Gox soon, and probably lower before we head back to ATH. You can always wait until a dip if you are long term.

Also, depending on which exchange you use, put a stop loss buy, meaning if you set that order at $40, it will buy after we raise $40 from the bottom, unless we go on to lower bottoms after the $40 raise. You just have to set the distance in which you want to buy from the bottom correctly which is pretty hard. We could go from 870 to 820, back to 860 (where the buy would go through) and then fall again to <800.

Either way Good Luck!

If you are in long term than it is really trivial.  Buy now, tomorrow or next week and you will be good.   Good luck!

It's not trivial, though. For the Johnny Come Latelys, the difference between x BTC and 2x BTC, for example, is immense. The difference between buying at $1000 and buying at $500 is immense.

If even just buying 1 BTC -- at $1MM per BTC, that's a million bucks on the table.  :)

Thank you, I hate being a newbie, wish I had 1000 btc :(
