Bitcoin Forum

I do not even have the courage to buy Bitcoin. Although I believe Bitcoin a lot. Many of my friends have made a lot of money by investing in Bitcoin. So I am thinking that I will buy Bitcoin in the future. As Bitcoin too Rising to 5000+ USD   ;D

WHAT DO YOU THINK ?  ::)

If you want a good USD ROI you can wait for 1 year or 2 by now and buy the dip. After $1200 USD pike on november 2013 bitoin fall to $200USD some years later... So why not again ?

You may not be able to buy a full Bitcoin, but you can still buy a portion of Bitcoin. If you invest $1000 for BTC0.2, your investment can still grow. You don't have to buy the full bitcoin since it is broken up into 100,000,000 sub units called Satoshi.

What Jonashe says is reasonable, but remember that past results do not guarantee future results. There may not be another dip again. I'd buy now if you haven't already.

what are you talking about?if you dont have the Guts buying bitcoin now when would it be?if bitcoin comes 10000k usd?if you really want to invest in bitcoin community u should have do that now,not tomorrow not on the next years.but today

Why don't you have the courage to buy it if you believe in it? I'd say go for it. Maybe wait for a correction until Bitcoin go below $5K, but it won't make many differences if you're not buying in large amount. I believe Bitcoin has the potential to reach $10,000 in the following years (likely next year). Shouldn't be too hard under current circumstances.

I don't think that price of Bitcoin is more than $5K at this moment but still, I think in Bitcoin deserves $10K to $20K in next 2 to 3 years considering user base, world's perception and growth rate.

However, $5K is not a bad deal if the investor is willing to hodl it for the long term. Here is the message from the past who think that Bitcoin is expensive.

If you are looking to hold for long period; you can buy without any issue because the price will increase again sooner or later and will make this way some profit.
Otherwise you can work for bitcoin online and collect your earnings until the price hit a good level.

Sounds not equal, you don't have that belief if you don't invest on it.



when is the Future you're talking about? When bitcoin goes up and made up your mind again. better act on it.

Waiting and wasting time on Bitcoin to raise its price in order to join will be a bad idea maybe (my opinion)
Though price will waver ,  but you must put faith in it and start investing  cause it will profitable in future

It's the best decision for you mate to NOT buy bitcoin on this price! However if you have some bitcoin to spare , put them into a good good ICO. Also the 5k$/bitcoin mark is too damn high , a correction will occure soon because we are in an up trend for almost a year now.

Yea , better not buy anything now dude , just wait for things to calm down a little.

Just keep watching the price of bitcoin. When it goes down, try to buy the coins. Anyways I don't think the price will go down so much. Just wait for a week. Hopefully you may see a dip in the price of bitcoin just one week before the hardfork. That's the right time to buy coins in my opinion. But don't expect a big decrease in its price . I think it may touch 4800 or 4500 dollars by the end of October, just before the fork.

That's completely understandable, you don't have to buy a full Bitcoin or invest all your money right now that Bitcoin's price is in an all time high. What you can do instead though, is to start accumulating and getting the feel of it, invest just a portion of your money even a little and start accumulating and seeing how the price fluctuates during the days, that way when a dip or correction happens you can be ready and invest the rest of the money you planned on investing in the first place.

I see that you are a a Sr. Member so I guess you at least have some experience in the past with Bitcoin. Just be patient and start accumulating in small amounts to understand how the market reacts to time, this is not an all in or nothing situation, you can take gradual steps that'll lead you to be a smarter investor. 

Yes, like others suggested. I would also say wait for the dips. But, I would suggest later don't just sell it for a small profit. Instead HODL

If you’re spending time on this forum & you believe in bitcoin a lot then you need to invest in & HODL at least a couple of coins. If you’re not willing to buy then you’re totally wasting your time being on here.

I am surprised that this post comes from a Sr. Member.

Buying bitcoin, as investing in general is not a matter of guts. Good investment consists in a diversified portfolio, formed by some of the following: cash, bonds of bond funds, stocks or stock funds, metals, participations in businesses and cryptos.

If you have a portfolio like that, it’s not a matter of having guts, it’s a matter of having a clear plan and make rational decisions on what is going to be your next investment move and how big it is going to be.

I suppose you are thinking of trading and not going for a loooong term investment.

If you truly believing in Bitcoin future and still don't have a courage to put your investment on it today, then when it would be?, are you waiting for the right time? I am afraid Bitcoin price would rise exponentially!

You didn't have the guts to buy when it was 400.

You don't have the guts to buy now.

You won't have the guts to buy when it is $50k/btc.

You won't have any guts to buy when it becomes the next major thing, just like the Internet and Social Media.

Sorry that you don't have any guts.  :-\

What year will you buy in then? in future bitcoin value won't be same as it is today, it'll be worth even more. in two years the price of bitcoins might go $10k+. you'll be then regretting not buying when price was $5k, buy and hold like many of us do. buy only small bits(keep on buying like that lol), if you can't afford whole bitcoin. ;)

People only start showing regret when they see the price skyrocketing, don't be one of those. The price started to go down a little bit, It's a good opportunity to buy and even If it goes down afterwards, It wouldn't matter much as you will have the hardforks coins to sell and gain what you lost from the price decrease to buy even more BTC.

Buying Bitcoin on regular basis is what i plan to do without selling or trading or abitrage! You could do the same also. I believe bitcoin will still rise more in value in the nearest future.

People didn't had the balls to buy at $1000, not at $2000, not at $3000, not at $4000, not at $5000 -- what's new? People constantly get demotivated by the price that has up significantly already, but you have to look at the bigger picture. If you don't buy at current levels, you'll end up in the exact same position when the price has gone up to +$10,000 levels. This market has a tremendous amount of long term growth potential, so focus on that -- short term ups and downs do not affect the long term price, that should be clear by now. If you really 'believed' in Bitcoin, this wouldn't be an issue. ;)

You have reached this level in this community and still not believed in bitcoin? What's keeps you from buying? After what you have seen since the beginning of this year that bitcoin has reached, I don't know more than 300% already? If that is not enough for you to really put your money into the system, then I don't know what else could sway you. Your friends did it, most of the newbies joined the bandwagon, and you are the only few who still hadn't ride the hype train. You have lost a lot of opportunity to earn huge amount of profit if you are able to buy at around $1000 early this year. You don't need to buy like 1 BTC, you can just get it portion by portion and I'm sure that your wallet by now should have a least 1 full BTC. I guess its not too late, specially the price is currently going down, you can still buy it and hodl and realized your profit later. I hope you make your decision mate.

Waiting for the future is the worst thing people do when they just "think" of buying bitcoins and don't "do" it.
Here I am, in no means, trying to ask/motivate you hard to buy Bitcoins because it is totally your decision to do it or not.
But believing in it couldn't justify your "failure" of taking advantage of an opportunity that "used to be there" but you didn't take it.
So, just STOP THINKING AND START BUYING, because even if you manage to buy small pieces of Bitcoins, it will become a habit of yours.
As well, it will eventually be worth something more only in the future, so what's the big deal?

Why you will buy bitcoin in the future? You are a believer and you know that the price can go up higher in the future so don't wait for that day before buying. It's good to buy now and the price went down today and it's better if you did bought some of it but today it's starting to increase again. And that's why if I were you I will take the courage and will not be scared of buying bitcoin today (I don't only have the budget today). It will be useless if you are a bitcoin believer and you don't want to buy.

You mean buy the dip when it dips from $15k to $10k? LOL

Buying isn't a compulsory activity but should be done on a temporary basis if not permanent.
I am not saying that you should buy a whole 1 BTC, try buying smaller amounts because this will not only support you in the future (when the price increases), but you are also showing support to the community as well as Bitcoins by putting your own money into this because unless you buy it, you won't be able to understand the significance of the role it plays in our life now.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2281528.0 <- Check this thread with the title "This family bet it all on Bitcoin" and you will know what it takes to be a Bitcoiner. Don't just believe, join the hands and support.  :)

Well, I invested in Bitcoin when the price was $4600, then it started to drop the day after. It didn't stop until it hit $2900. If I was a short-term trader, that would've been an unfortunate time to invest. Look at the price now though, a month later. If you're in it for the long haul, there's no wrong time to get in. If you do it now you'd still be an early adopter, remember that like every speculative asset, Bitcoin can only rise so far. $100.000, $1.000.000, who knows when it'll stabilize (if it survives). Just don't wait for years, otherwise you'll forever have missed out on the (potentially) biggest payoff.

Everything you're talking about has happened in a very short period of time, so I don't really get your point here. Long term in my book is when you hold your coins for at least a year or two. If we look at the time frame you bought, when the price went down, and when it recovered to where we stand right now, it's extremely short term.

----

I constantly see people say that they believe in Bitcoin, but how can someone believe in Bitcoin when they don't even know what it is? In this case it perfectly shows that OP doesn't really have any confidence in Bitcoin at all. Any person understanding what Bitcoin is capable of, will not wait with buying themselves into this market, even when the market has gone up quite a bit already. In this case, you're better off not buying yourself into Bitcoin at all. Only invest money into something you know what it is, and that clearly isn't the case.

What do you expect for them if they can't afford the price? $1000 is a bit low and cheap when talking about bitcoin but in reality some people haven't had that kind of money to buy thinking that they also had some priorities and needs. For those people who can afford at this price i am sure that they are lucky now because their investments got doubled or tripled within a month/year.

I just showed that short term fluctuations like that don't matter if you're holding long term (for at least a couple of years, like you said). Even if the price recovered in a short period of time, it demonstrates how it always reaches new hights, even after significant dips.

The more you wait for opportunity, the higher the possibility that you loss some. If you will keep on waiting for "the right time", you might end up wasting your time since no one can guarantee in Bitcoin will crash dramatically, lower than the current price, in the future. So it is best to buy now then hold, if the price crashed then buy again. As simple as that. At least you did not waste any of your time waiting for something that might not even come in the first place.

Yes we are not expected that bitcoin is going to crash, but it is price is expected more to increase, because of the strong support of the people. bitcoin has in fact has a very strong support from the investor side which is preventing bitcoin from crashing. i think if we cannot afford to buy a whole bitcoin at least we can trade some satoshi and hope that it will also give us a reasonable profit after some time.

Angst in the pants about next two or three hardforks. Looking for a save heaven which could be Dollars across all of these events.

There is that little Buffett guy sitting on my should whispering about greed and fear, and basically rephrasing Rothschild with his blood in the streets. Lots of trouble ahead and an ATH ain't exactly blood. This is a selling point in time.

Why not buy today since the price of bitcoins is at drop and invest in the near future to await a higher rate of return to your investments in bitcoin. I mean sell it if the price value becomes 6000-7000 USD that would have been gain considering the fact that you buy bitcoin at a lower price today. Just saying it no wrong to invest today than regret it the future value of time.

We keep on blaming ourselves when we don’t get profit for the same time we don’t do anything to change and learned from it. It a cycle that only you can make a difference, stop regretting but go for it. If you have invested at 4000$ per bitcoin at this time you must have profited 1600$ that is regrettable honestly but how to overcome ourselves by doing risky things is sometimes the problem.

Why not invest today? The more you delay it the more opportunity you are losing. Bitcoin's value keep on increasing everyday so if you want higher returns from your investment, do it now. Goodluck man! :)

Really? Are you going to magically find the courage at $10k? $20k? In a few months $5 or $6k is gonna look so low! Now is always the best time to buy! Wait and you'll have to buy higher, wait very long and you'll have to buy much higher.

Bitcoin investment is taking risk and if you do not have any guts you better shift to other way of earnings because here your fears will not make you rich. You can try investing little by little like what they say invest what you can afford to lose, but you must understand that bitcoin is really a wise investment to take and I never heard anyone here complaining that they lost in bitcoin investment just learn how to play the game.

You really should. The price now is high, yes, but it will be nothing compared to a year from now. Better to invest early.

he said he dont have the guts to buy bitcoin because bitcoins value today is friggin high it was like 5000$+ , so literally he wont buy today, tommorow or on the next day rather i sugest to the op that he must wait if for the bitcoins value to go down low until 3000$ or lower because bitcoin is not totally stable and will always be fluctuate because of volatility. so i guess theres nothing to worry because we can stil be able to afford it sooner or later if we have a patience to wait.

Yeah right its never too late with bitcoin investment you can buy still and earned after some time and be happy because you still find time to begin with, just keep buying and holding your investment.

If you believe in Bitcoins then you should buy it at every dips, look recently only that's like one or two days back its goes to 5600 and today 5900, so you see one should not balk at the high price but instead keep on looking for the low price and average it out, once that happens it will be worth it. I can understand why you or other's ate concerned, but hey with segwit2x and Bitcoin silver you get double coins, plus it's being told it can touch 25k. So a must buy at every dips.

You are lost your opportunity to gain a big profit in bitcoin right now. Imagine if you invest your money when you are making this thread and sell all your bitcoins right now, you will gain a massive profit. If you look at the price of bitcoin right now, it's like increase 20-40% from the day you make this thread.

I think if you want to succeed in bitcoin and other business I think the initial capital is courage if you want to succeed do not fear failure. so should you buy or collect it through faucet, hard mining and mining clouds because there are many ways to get bitcoin please you choose which one you like. but if you have skills such as translator or graphic design services or advertising services spreaders then you should use to start a business with bitcoin pay as there are many sites where offering services.

lol, yeah if he only thought that bitcoin will rise after the day he made this thread but hey no one can predict the future not even him so you cant blame him upfront because he dont buy bitcoins that time and infact it is not yet too late to invest in bitcoin because it can probably go down on some days or decrease hard enough under 3000$ just like what happened on the past months, so i think that anyone can still wait and avail on it.

I also think it will be wise decision to buy bitcoin right now regardless of high price as bitcoin have already corrected after hardfork and people will keep on buying more bitcoin for next fork which might be bigger one on mid of November.

I think price will be over $7k or $8k by that time.

Well I go think now is the time to buy bitcoin because 5 years from now it will probably hit $25000. Gradually,  more and more countries would be accepting bitcoin. With the advancement of technology,  people will be open to digital currency to make transactions faster. I also see that mostly in the future, paper money will be seldom used. And by that time bitcoin will be very popular and the price will be very high .

If you already have a capital to buy it (for investing in it), why not.. anyway I'm sure it will be get profitable results next day, seen bitcoin price movements tend to staying above $5000 and the possibility of bitcoin price.. I think it could be reach up to $6000 again, maybe even more than $6000 I guess.

Well I think no need to be disappoint because bitcoin is such a currency that can provide a very good and easy source of income to every one so just need a wait and read bitcoin in detail I’m sure you can find an easy way to earn bitcoin I know a lot of people in my country who have no penny in their pocket at the time when they were joining bitcoin and know they are rich.

It doesn't take much guts to buy just a little bit at a time.  And look what happened
between the time you wrote the OP till now.  We've shot up to $6200 or thereabouts.
You could have made a decent sum of money! 

I get the fear that since we're at the ATH that we may crash down to sub-$1000 or
something like that, but momentum is on our side (and that includes you, OP).  Don't
be a chicken.  More risk = more reward.  Usually.  So go for it, even if it's only like
$10 worth.  You'll probably end up with a profit.

Bitcoin has risk along with it. Based on this users fear of investing or buying and holding it. In reality one who have believed in it and bought whole heartedly making his minds hard to accept anything has grown high in economy. It's upto us to analyse the current growth and buy little by little for the future. Even if some thing worse happens too, it won't affect our living. No need of buying as a single bitcoin or high if your mind has such a thinking.

Don't buy bitcoin in high amount. Try to wait until bitcoin price falls down lower than $4000. I think that is also a good time for investing in bitcoin. So that when bitcoin pump up until $8000 your bitcoin will double its price.   That's amazing. Don't just rely on the advice of friends, not all the time they are right, try to listen to what you wanted to do. Whoever knows? You will make bitcoin more than they can do.
      

Its still not to late to invest in bitcoin, you can still buy a few satoshi then just let it accumulate till you reach 1 bitcoin.
If you invest now you can still have a lot of money in the future and it will surely change your life.

His earnings with bitcoins will take long if he would not risk to buy for today's price but if he can't really risk his money then he should find some alternatives way to earn it for free or he needs to work with it to earn so that he wouldn't pick some fiat money on his pocket just to accumulate some bits to use.  And although some advice is not real but if you scan it and read it carefully some have point and some can make you learn how fuds goes.

I think even if a person can afford to buy some satoshi, he can really get good profit from it. becasue bitcoin price is increasing too much and even holding satoshi can be more profitable. But it is also right that beside investment and trading bicoin is giving more opportunities to people to make money, for example if a peros have good and professional skill of designing he has opportunites to make profit from bitcoin.

Well, right now the price is back up to over $6000.

I realyl would double think before i act on buying coins right here. The price is nearing another all time high and has the potential to break it once more. However, once it does there is really no guarantee it's going to stay sky high.

If you're a long term holder, then investing now could be a good option. If you're just in this for the short term, no.

I think you should still go ahead and buy small quantities. People made the same mistake over the years. They wait for a dip to buy Bitcoins and they keep waiting for ever. In the long run, it might not matter whether you purchased at $5000 or $6000.

You know what, it's okay. Yes, less than two weeks after you posted this, Bitcoin reached a new $6,300 all-time high. Yes, you "lost out" again and again for not having the guys to buy when it's so high. But that's a good thing.

You should invest in Bitcoin now, I think this forum also has a growing following of people who actually believe in what they hope. But I think it's good that you still have a cautionary approach. Don't fall to this FOMO. Get in when you're comfortable. Get in with what you can afford.

I'm earning chiefly in bitcoins now and I try to cash out only what I need, saving as much as possible. For now, it is going well, and I can see a small savings slowly building up in my wallet, with each new ATH making me a bit more comfortable. But I don't have the guts to keep all of it, to stop cashing out, and that's a good thing. I can still pay my bills, support a family, and I'm okay with losing out on potential profits because I've realised some of them.

You're all right!

you should be a little courageous and buy BCT now as the price is moving up rapidly.

In fact it is a normal feeling. Let me tell you a secret. Most of the users that you are campaigning to buy bitcoins do not. They earn bitcoins keep them in my purse and hope that the rising price of bitcoin will never stop. Very few people can boast of their success in trading bitcoin on the market. I, too, was very hard to force yourself to purchase the first 0.5 of a bitcoin.

Just pretend .1 BTC is a Bitcoin.  You will still make the same percentage profit (approx 800% year over year right now) that everyone else makes no matter if you have .1 BTC or 100 BTC.   Just to be clear, I’m not saying you WILL
make an 800% return over the next year, but if you believe in BTC, and you’re investing for the long term, the time to buy is right now!

No one is forcing you to buy or invest in bitcoin as its your ultimate decision and I even wished you waited till the time you would have gathered your guts together. In coming fully into bitcoin, you don't need to be ready financially enough but also mentally ready for anything that might come out as a result of that.

But the concern here is that you don't come back after one year to wyne about your regrets in bitcoin or how you should have followed your friend and couple of those threads that add no value to current situation.

Start small and invest an amount you feel comfortable with, if that goes well then you can always invest more at a later date. I would say right now is still a relatively safe time to invest.

Yes, if anyone not decided to invest in bitcoin why not start at a small amount? Though price is really expensive but I think even hodling for a long term, you will reach profit still. Because I think bitcoin price will pump in the future.

you should take a risk if you want to be rich in bitcoin. btc is a decentralized currency so it's like a stock market where you will gonna buy when the price is low then just hold it for a long term. right now the prediction in btc price is rise up to $25000 5 years from now which is in 2022. so hold it and you can see it on your own eyes.

The percentages will indeed be the same, but obviously, what's not the same is the hight of the profits you might book. In some cases you just have to accept that certain lower initial investment amounts aren't worthwhile.

What's the point of buying like $50 worth of Bitcoin and to hold that as long term investment? If you gain like 100%, which is a very decent return in percentages, you'll see that it only resulted in a $50 profit.

In other words, either invest a decent amount (and thus take a higher overall risk), or don't invest at all. It's nothing more than a waste of time if you look to invest with insignificant amounts. It may sound harsh, but it is what it is.

Bitcoin is a currency which is the most valued and most stable in all the digital currency available. It has reached the value of $6000 and is still increasing and predicted to reach $15000 till 2018. This is a great chance for us to invest in bitcoin due to its increasing price. even if there is a down fall bitcoin will recover it as it has happened before with bitcoin and it has recovered it already.

Most of the people will try to sell them but you should hold and wait for them to increase there is no need to get afraid in investing in bitcoin now.

now the bitcoin price is $61xx. I bet that he's feeling regret when not buying it at the time of $5000
Trust me, if you are long term investments, Bitcoin is a great option. It is the currency of the time, of the future

Agreed, but .1 is now equal to over $600, I wasn’t advising to buy $50 worth, and  if you can’t afford to buy an entire bitcoin investing what you can afford isn’t a bad idea.

In my opinion, most of those who are left behind are those who do not have the guts to take the leap of faith, I suggest, try to equip yourself first with knowledge about trading and long term investment; study the graphs, charts, price movement, etc. Self-awareness of your risk tolerance is important, Diversification of funds and having your own strategy on investment as well. Bitcoin's price at its all-time high $6,300 is still cheap because it may rise to $10,000 by 2018.

I can understand that with the price raising almost every day and next weeks provide only next all time highs, it all stinks like a possible bubble. There is that fear, what if you buy now at $6000 but it crashes and goes all the way down to $2000, you lost your money or you wasted it and now you can't buy at the cheaper price. But it's worth to think, that even if the price crashes, if not in a few months, then in a few years the price will surely recover, because bitcoin as a technology is worth even that $10,000, but it needs time and now it is all happening too quickly. For me, always is a good time to buy as it will become even more expensive in the future. So don't be afraid of possible crashes or sudden lows.

When this thread started, price of Bitcoin is $5,522 USD, today as I post this $6,370.10 USD (coinbase) see how much money OP cound have earned by now if he did buy Bitcoins last October 18. Op could have gained 15% from his capital, and it's less than 1 month compared to the interest that traditional banks are offering at a per Annum rate.

Buy small and consistently, it evens out the price you pay so you protect yourself against any short term pump or dump. Setting you up for (hopefully) long term gains.

That's a wise thing to do if you'll wait until its market value fall before investing to Bitcoin but it will surely take more time. You should invest on bitcoin in this moment wherein its market value is continuously increasing ans even if the price is already ezpensive. Its market value is still rising and since there's an incoming hardfoek, that a good opportunity to earn profit from investing because the value will again go skyroxket for sure.

The increase back in November 2013 went extremely fast, in 2 weeks the price rose from $200 to +$1000. The price increase we see now is steady and for all I see pretty sustainable. The environment around BTC is in no way to compare as in 2013-2014-2015. More and more companies are focusing on Crypto and the Blockchain!

The more you wait, the more opportunity you'll lose. When you posted this thread, the price of Bitcoin is only around 5000 USD, and now, Bitcoin is at 6300+ USD. Think about how much you should've earned by now. You've wasted the opportunity to buy at a lower price. So will you wait another second hoping for Bitcoin to go down? Well, we cannot be certain whether Bitcoin will have a correction sooner or later. Regardless, it should be a lesson to you what you've wasted.

Sad, it's not a compulsion for you to buy bitcoin is it? Well you can trade and stuff and increase your inventory of bitcoin i guess. Don't worry you're not the only person who won't be buying bitcoin, lots and lots of people are with you. So take a pill and chill. But then the price is kind of on a steady increase since a couple weeks, a crash can be expected any time soon.

ALWAYS BE BUYING

If you found out that in two weeks the price of bitcoin would be 8,000 dollars, did not you also buy bitcoin? I think that all financial transactions are a risk. And if you do not have the courage to risk, then you should not try to earn in the crypto currency

Yes its true there is no doubt that it’s very safe to invest here and I’m going to invest here from last two years and its going very smooth and sound and I think bitcoin is one the favorite currency for the world bitcoin also provide a lot of different opportunity for earning so we need to take advantages from bitcoin as much as we can.

Not only you many of us has not mind to buy bitcoin now inform of investment but we can buy bitcoin for transactions purpose. Bitcoin may get to $80,000 before end of this year and you can see were we are today above $6900. I motivate a Friend to buy bitcoin last month at $4,600 and today he has make some good money. I tried to buy then I was afraid that the price is going to go down and were we are today is approved that many of us did not get a courage to buy now.

I've heard a lot of people that are saying they believe in bitcoin but are scared and doesn't have the courage to buy bitcoin. As OP posted this thread the price is still at $5,000 and look now the price was so close to $7,000 so you almost wasted a $2,000 for a while. If you still don't have the guts to buy bitcoin, how long you will watch the rally and see the price increase dramatically?

None could predict the future same goes for OP and he doesn't know that the price could drastically pumped by +$2000, kinda crazy but sometimes it looks scary as form me and maybe for other people aswell.
However, the "expensive" price of bitcoin will give bad impression to new adopters that they probably ignore the fact that bitcoin is flexible, it has decimals and smaller units.

If you don't have the guts to, then don't buy.

The price is high, and if anything, your gut feeling is probably right. A dip is probably going to come that will make prices go down in the short run and you can pick up your cheap coins then when everyone else is dumping off theirs like crazy.

Buy when everyone else is selling, sell when everyone is buying.

Well if your instinct say no then so be it, you dont need to do the same way like your friends if you dont have the guts to risk your money. However if you let this opportunity to pass you might missed the time to earn. The current value is expensive but continue increasing, no one can tell how far it will go and for me its beneficial to ride on and go with the flow.

Yes no one can predict the future of bitcoin but we can guess and speculate with basis. We are feeling scared because we are considering the current price of bitcoin as something expensive but if we will take a look of many speculations in the future this $7,000 will be even cheaper than we are saying today. What do you those people that are saying that $200 before is quite expensive and now we reached new ATH?

It's not a big deal, what are you afraid of? losing all your money in bitcoin?
Don't scare yourself because that is not going to happen... Just make up your mind and go buy bitcoins... period!
You should always remember this; it is never too later to buy bitcoins. :)

This is good advice.  You might be able to make a lot of money by investing now, but if you know that you're going to be worried about your position, then either you should stay away from bitcoin altogether (if you're nervous, then you almost certainly will end up panic selling at some point), or you should wait for the next crash to happen and then invest incrementally.

At this price, me either. LoL
depend on your capital and how long you can wait, due to bitcoin may rise even higher or get corrected in the near future, no one knows precisely.
Bitcoin meant to be an alternative currency, not for daily trading object or a faster way to become rich, that's why you shouldn't invest if expecting for easy profit in short term. It's a long term investment, as long as there are no any merchant or retailer accept bitcoin as payment method in the neighborhood.

i am like you and i can't buy bitcoins now and since the price was 5000 usd . I think the price is really overpriced
We have not seen any downtrend for a while . I remember when prices were under 3000
Maybe it's a whale trap

It makes not much difference, even when there are local stores accepting Bitcoin. Sure, people early on might give it an initial try, but we can't expect them to constantly utilize Bitcoin's currency aspect. Main point of importance is that when people spend their coins, they mostly end up with a bad taste in their mouth when they see that the market has gone up in value significantly. In order to give people the incentive to spend their coins, Bitcoin needs to stabilize to such an extent, that people will no longer regret spending their coins. Honestly, I am not spending my coins for that exact reason, and looking at current levels, it turns out I did pretty well not to spend anything.

it's too expensive for me now( I had to do it in 2011 when I 1 time found out about it!

:D Well said, Most of the people are not ready to buy (including me) at any time especially an year back it was low compared with current market. We should take risk by investing in bitcoin. The are many practical proofs from people around here that bitcoin never make people lose.

Many of my friends have made a lot of money by investing in Bitcoin.

You need to brace yourself, because the price are not going to come down soon, it was widely expected that after hardfork price may come down but the opposite happened because now it has become more popular among people and more and more trading is going on. So, if you think you will wait for another dip then that is going to be unexpected move it is going to happen but when no one can predict you just need to wait for the right time to buy Bitcoin at best price.

Whale trap by a fiat whale? Usually it is the other way around. Whales try to dump coins and depress the price. Once individual investors get dejected and start selling coins, they step in to buy cheap coins. You are talking about price under $3000. It was not a long time ago that prices were under $1000.

ummmm, bitcoin was down all of september. I certainly wouldn't say that was a while ago!
It always amuses me when people say the price is too high to buy. If it is too high to buy now then you will never buy because it's going to be much much higher in the future. If you can't buy at $7000 how are you gonna buy next year at $15k or $25k?? If you aren't buying now then you just have to realize that you've decided you don't want anymore bitcoin. Which is fine. But the idea that it is too high to buy now is ridiculous, because buying now means you're gonna make a LOT OF MONEY!

I have never said it is too high to buy, and because of that I have much more bitcoin than I did a few months ago. Granted sometimes I thought I would stop buying when it got to a certain price, like $2000, then $5000. But as it kept breaking to new highs much faster than I thought it was I keep realizing any other strategy other than buying is a bad strategy, and so I kept buying.


Always be buying!

I dont have the guts to buy bitcoin now because buying bitcoins means a lot of money. All throughout september bitcoin was down . But it really surprises me when some people told me that bitcoin by now has a high price and much much higher price in the future. I am not saying that it is too high to buy bitcoin but we never stop other people if they want, I also have no guts on buying bitcoin because buying bitcoin means a lot of money in the future.

Brace yourself as if there's like a big war and storm to come. Having no guts in investing means that you are not going to take the risk and it's your choice but that guts will be moved eventually when you are witnessing that the price you are scared of investing in bitcoin is starting to give you a chuckle as it's price starting to increase for so many times. Having no guts at $7,000 so what will happen if you are still on that situation of having no guts to invest, when it reaches $100k?

Since you believe in bitcoin, then you're probably aware that the price may be much higher in the future by the time you decide to buy? Although there will be some price dips and corrections, it would still be much higher. Maybe you should buy already once there is a price correction. If you buy by now, you would make a lot of money like your friends by now. What are you waiting for, OP? Take the risk since you believe in Bitcoin anyway. It's a very good investment.

If you don't dare  to buy then you dont believe in bitcoin, a lot of my friends also feel that way, and I always said to them to just try it, no need to buy a lot, just buy small fraction and until now they always make a profit, bitcoin now is a very hot and profitable investment if you keep on hesitating you are going to miss every chances and regret it, see the price chart to increase your confidence in bitcoin

My brother's wife told my brother that it is too high to buy right now in the 7000s. He pointed out to her that she said the exact same thing a couple weeks ago when it was 5700.

Right now there are maybe 20 million people who have bitcoin and basically no institutional investor money is in bitcoin. So buying bitcoin is still the deal of the century right now. Sure it is so expensive now that you can't buy very much, but your rate of profit will be the same no matter how much you buy!

No one should say they don't have the guts to buy it now or it is too high to buy it now until at the very least 500 million or a billion people own bitcoin and most of the major investment firms are all invested in bitcoin. So we're talking a few years from now and likely in the hundreds of thousands of dollars. Only then would it be reasonable to wonder if it is too high to buy. Right now it's the deal of the century.

After all, it is a high-risk high reward. Just wait for bitcoin price to drop and there is a high chance you can get it back in a few months.

i told my brother to invest when it was about $2500 and he told me it was to high... everyone at his job was talking about it and that when everyone starts talking about to pull out...

i want to call him and tell him to invest now but he wont listen.

why you don't have the courage to buy bitcoin, just think positive you do not need to buy 1 bitcoin just buy a small amount or half of your salary to buy bitcoin if you have a job, you said many of your friends have made a lot of money how about you, its proven that your friends made a lot of money, just buy now it will increase $10,000 maybe before end of this year.

well that sucks for him. My brother did start getting in at just under $4000, and has been buying a bit more as it has gone up, his wife just doesn't let him put much money in cuz she doesn't get it.

I convinced my other brother to get in when it was about $2600, but unfortunately he panicked and sold half his coins under 4000 during the crash from 5000 to 3000 - apparently a relative in the financial industry told him to get out now it could all come crashing down and he unfortunately listened. He warned me about it and I just laughed and told him he's crazy, I couldn't believe he sold it just two months after buying, but at least he still has like half a bitcoin. And it seems he's not planning on buying back in with more, too high for him I guess.

I guess some people just can't bring themselves to believe that they could possibly get in on the investment opportunity of their lifetimes, so they keep telling themselves it's too high its gonna crash to nothing, and they never buy, or sell after tiny profit, always too afraid while they watch others make lots of money, and don't do the proper research to understand that the current price is nothing compared to what's coming.

No doubt It's a matter of both trust and guts, because price is at the peak by a rapid growth in the past month which is somehow alarming, so we could expect a dip  in near future. But it is a fact that bitcoin have gained the community's trust by quick recovery after every dip, so there isn't any problem if you are willing to invest on long term.

I just see regret in you life if you keep that mindset bro. When many people are getting crazy rich because they did not bitcoin and there you are punching the wall, hitting yourself or telling yourself an idiot because you did not do it so do it before it's too late.

Bitcoin is all about trust, because the entire functioning is completely upon the virtual reality and one cannot make others believe with some sort of physical proof of existence. Here guts to risk is a must, only then user could invest into bitcoin expecting for profits that could be unreachable through other forms of investment.

so why you have not that courage? is it that you have not enough to invest or you don't believe it ? this is the time buddy.................so do it.

as my opinion, i think  its safe.
Of course bitcoin is the best way to investment money. Bitcoin is always my favorite currency due to just investment with bitcoin and enjoy profit by holding. So its investment with bitcoin is right

Well I think it’s so simple land easy to by bitcoin you just need a little knowledge about bitcoin because once if you come to know about bitcoin that how it work and how it use so then believe me you can be a rich in short time so no need to dis courage about buying bitcoin just start to know about bitcoin and you will be able to buy.

As a my opinion If you want to hold bitcoin for long-term than you can buy bitcoin without any hesitation. Day by day bitcoin value is increasing. now bitcoin already hit 7k$ and it also go forward to cross 8k$.

Buying Bitcoin is always a right decison but it should be done wisely and smartly. If someone wants to buy some BTC's now then my advice for him/her will be to wait for some time.I .As the price is still 7100$ which is actually a very high price so it is not a right time to buy.Just wait for a drop or a correction to take place.A correction will surely be there which will bring down the price  to a reasonable value after which you can buy.

Reasonable value for the purchase of Bitcoin concept is extensible. Even if you listen to predictions about future prices, then $ 15,000 or even $ 20,000 can be a good compensation, Is there even 7,000 dollars to buy Bitcoin today.

It’s an interesting dilemma because if you buy now, you’re buying near an all time high, but if you don’t buy now, you may have to buy for more later. We’re all in new territory with cryptocurrencies. There’s no history to show what will happen when it gets to this point. My best advice to people is go ahead and buy and if the price drops, you’ll just have to hold and wait for a recovery. There’s a pretty good chance that you will make money on your investment eventually.

I think that the cancelation of the segwit2x fork is a very positive development for bitcoin.  I would look at the next correction as a good buying opportunity.  With segwit2x out of the way, I don't see anything major from a fundamentals perspective that's holding bitcoin back.

I think it's like a joke, why do not you buy it? you know what bitcoin is better you buy it and get a profit like your friend

I don't get it . Why you don't have courage to buy bitcoin if you are fully aware of its potential .
Waiting for time inorder to buy bitcoin can be a bad idea according to the ongoing market trends . Bitcoin is rising and it is not going to stop , so whenever you will think of buying it it will have an even more higher price . So i suggest you to buy it , if not a bitcoin you can buy some of it . You can also invest like $2k on it .                                                                               

If you have faith in the potential of bitcoins then you can buy it anytime as the price of bitcoins will not be the same in future and it will keep on increasing over a period of time and the same thing we have witnessed in the past and its always growing in its price so even if you manage to buy now and hold it for next couple of months or years then it will bring only positive results for you.

$2k is not a small amount, especially for somebody in a developing country. That said, the sudden crash in price presents an opportunity to buy. Right now, people are disillusioned about there being no scaling solution. This will eventually change and the price will rise.

the first time i just got to know bitcoin i also have not got the guts to buy bitcoin but after i start looking for information about bitcoin and have joined in social media groub and i start to see people people and friends i already have big enough income from bitcoin so i start believe that bitcoin is not a fraud. Sometimes there is a bitcoin investment site that will give bitcoin every week or month after we invest the bitcoin you have but when you invest it you do not get the bitcoin that has been promised. So if you want to invest bitcoin you have to be careful and ask first if the site is not a scam.

Maybe it is time to buy some bitcoin.As its value goes low and low.Maybe it will get high again.Buy for now as long as its low.It is your chance.

I think bitcoin is very essay to understand and here you can also make money easily I don’t need such a difficult thing need you hard work here and can start to earn bitcoin and to buy bitcoin it’s also not that much expansive to buy so need to take start first with positive mind and I hope in short time will become investor here same like me.

I think dont care what time you buy, as long as you buy a lot of bitcoin and don't worry when prices fall. You will make a lot of money.

If you look at the history of bitcoins then you will notice that price has always moved in positive direction over a period of time so even if you buy now and hold it for next couple of years then it can give you best profits on your investments as price is expected to rise at the end of the year so that would be the right time to sell your coins at higher profits and if you manage to hold it longer then you can expect much higher profits in future.

As long as money isn't a problem and that you have that capital to invest for, I guess buying bitcoin for investments can be done without any hesitations. Just be focus on you goals and set aside that worries, so that you can stay focus and prevent panic decisions towards possible fluctuations that might happen in an instance. Having positive outlook should be maintained and that dreams of having bigger profit will be a reality in the near future, as long as you keep the attitude of having patience all the time.

I can image $2,000 isn't a small amount for people who live in severely under developed countries. But you will have to invest money to make a lot of money, that's the name of the game. Investing a mere $10 now isn't going to make you a millionaire (perhaps in 2011 it was but we're far past that stage now and will have to move on). If the person who started this thread in the first place pulled the trigger and bought bitcoin at $5000 he would have netted a juicy $2,000 per piece (assuming they sold at the all time high). Sometimes it's just more important to pull the trigger and buy instead of worrying about your entry point.

The problem with people is that they aren't understanding what changes Bitcoin is capable of forcing through in the financial world, and in terms of breaking through this currupt on debt based system. I too started out as someone being just interested in Bitcoin for speculation purposes, but once became clear what Bitcoin is actually about, I immediately took a long term position into Bitcoin. So yes, I pulled the trigger and went for it, and looking back now, it was a perfect entry point. I can however understand that people might feel unsure about entering at current levels due to the massive increase this year, but as you said, the trigger needs to be pulled, and if you don't pull the trigger, you'll be left with nothing.

Your point is valid only if you should have patience and literally forget that you have invested in bitcoin for at-least 5 years then check the returns for a good result and profit but not suitable for most of us as we are looking for short time profit and also save little towards the long term but most of us are looking for current gain.

It's important that you are buying bitcoin at the right time and even you don't mind about the prices fall. The important thing is the time you'll invest and buy bitcoin, what is the price by that time. And when the price pumps with a small percentage that does matter.

I think I went trough a similar process. What got me interested in the first place was the monetary gain. I actually wanted to buy a game and I saw that they accepted bitcoin payments. I had heard about bitcoin before, a couple of years back, but I never dug deep enough to discover the big value bitcoin has. The more I researched bitcoin the more I became my hunger for short term money making potential faded away. I started discovering the underlying technology and I suddenly realized that I had to be a part of this revolution. That's what mainly led to me pulling the trigger and buying myself into a solid position.

If you do not have the courage to buy bitcoin then I think it is time to try to earn bitcoin instead, you do not have to buy bitcoin if you earn it, so find ways to earn bitcoin, offer your services and any skill you have in the forum, you can offer some products that you have, try to join a signature campaign, and if you have some money to invest you could buy altcoins or you could begin to trade bitcoins.

Thank you so much for so many suggestions on how to earn bitcoin rather than buying the bitcoin i don't know whether the user who has originally posted got any idea but i surely got an idea what i need to do to earn bitcoins rather than buying it this time when the value is sky rocketing.

i think btc now changing world.  bitcoin price pumping  and  bitcoin price is already pump upto 7k$  and i just like to seeing it. bitcoin totally  change my life style . so people should use bitcoin for change their life. so i think its good time to investment now cause i think now its time to pumping

Even I don't have guts to buy bitcoins at the current price as its too high and not affordable for me so either I will wait for the price to crash and if not then will prefer to hold my existing coins till it doesn't reaches to $10000 as its my dream price and when I will see that price on the charts it won't take much time for me to sell my bitcoins at huge profits.

Just few people who are traders are actually looking for the short term gains and trying to trade for some quick profit. However, I hope the OP was able to rent some guts to buy back in October, or else he must be having himself to blame for it now probably by listening to the advice of the person that posted below the OP.

Bitcoin is showing great sign of improvement and cannot be compared to those days when a lot of FUD can easily drag bitcoin down. What we should be seeing now are corrections and anyone who does not utilize the opportunity or does not have guts will apparently have some after a while.

Bitcoin can also earn to doing something job, I beginning to think, maybe it's good idea😆

The bitcoin price is high now and it's not the perfect time to buy but the price will be even higher with time so I think this would be good decision. Still you have to do this if you have enough funds that you don't need and you would invest it anyway but don't take the funds that are necessary to you for daily life.
If you ask me the perfect time for buying bitcoins was when the price was few hundreds of dollars but those times have passed away.

In hindsight, buying bitcoin when it was worth a few hundred dollars seems to be a brilliant strategy. Who knows, in maybe a few years time people will say buying Bitcoin when it was worth a few thousand dollars would have been brilliant.

No doubt bitcoin has created so many elites today and will even create much more for those who have the guts to be a part of holding some of it unlike the OP.

After all, someone already suggested it on the thread to earn as there are so many opportunities to earn as much as one can. Bitcoin is really not going to wait for anyone in the coming years and trying to build guts or if possible find somewhere to buy or borrow those guts to buy right now is the best to do.

BTC price is moving up and up as the DEC and Christmas is coming near by. Hopefully we should again see a new rise in Dec as btc has now reached 8k. Wondering will it make a 2k jump in 40 days from now before we enter 2018 ? What will drive such a huge jump if it happens ?

No problem we are in the forum to help each other out whenever we can, at first it may seem difficult to earn bitcoin but as time passes and you begin to gain more experience it is going to become easier to earn bitcoin, the only thing you need is to have a lot of patience since earning bitcoin is not going to happen from one day to the other but if you give it let’s say 6 months you will be surprised by the amount of bitcoin you can earn per day.

Well its possible to jump $2K in 40 days. Bitcoin even jump 1K in less than 24 hours so no doubt that it can be done. But good questions though, to make it happened I think (1) there will be no negative news that will impact the price, (2) a new wave of investors suddenly drops huge cash on the the ecosystem and (3) a fresh positive news coming our way that will push the price to $10K.

If we don't come across through any bad news and if investors continues to put their money in bitcoins then that price is likely to achieve at the end of the year but there is no assurance that price will keep on moving in upward direction and only one bad news and everything would go in vain so we need to keep our fingers crossed and hope for the best in coming days.

That is when you don't know bitcoin's true potential, but when you understand the technology you will bought some too.
Remember when Steve Wozniak talks about BTC:
“There is a certain finite amount of bitcoin that can ever exist,” the publication cites Wozniak as saying. That makes it “more genuine and real” than the dollar, which is “kind of phony” since the U.S. government can issue new units of currency for purely political reasons.

“Your house has value. And if it is a house today, 40 years from now, it still is a house in value,” he said, even if the price increases over time.

“Gold gets mined and mined and mined,” Wozniak said. “Maybe there’s a finite amount of gold in the world, but Bitcoin is even more mathematical and regulated and nobody can change mathematics.”

Source : https://www.cryptocoinsnews.com/apple-co-founder-wozniak-bitcoin-better-gold/

See? This came from one of the greats in the history of computer, I cant say that he is a supporter and he want people to bought some BTC. BUt we can't accept the fact that the technology is there.
If you don't have some guts now, then let's see the price in 3 years time.


Sad story bro, but almost everyone here are panic selling, only those who are veterans in trading have the guts to smile while the market is down. I almost sold my all my BTC before the BCC came, but after that Ive realized that "NO!!, I wont be selling anymore BTC".
Crashed,
hypes
False news are everywhere so it's almost better not to listen at all and follow your own heart. Maybe BTC is not suitable for small scale transactions but it is the foundation and like foundations oil and gold, it can be a backed up reserve in the world of finance. Imagine the price of a reserve. PRobably will reach 1 UNits of numbers in dollars in the next 5 years. But this section is just speculation. Who knows. Maybe, maybe not. ;D
