I recently purchased 0.0045 Bitcoins which is still present in my trust wallet I believe with me owning a fraction of the worlds Bitcoin although a very tiny fraction in practical I am now a crypto currency investor  in essence a Bitcoin investor

The Fist, Congratulations on your recent Bitcoin purchase! By earning a fraction of Bitcoin, you have taken the step to become a cryptocurrency investor. As you mentioned, even though the amount you own may seem small, it is still part of the world's Bitcoin supply, making you part of the larger Bitcoin community. Becoming a Bitcoin investor requires a solid understanding of the cryptocurrency market, including its volatility, trends, and potential risks and growth opportunities. It is important to stay up to date with industry news and developments and have a clear investment strategy.

While owning Bitcoin does not automatically make someone a skilled investor, I think this is a good start by means of continuing to educate yourself and staying informed about the market, you can make informed decisions about how to invest and grow your cryptocurrency portfolio.

Good luck on your journey as a Bitcoin investor!

Sure — but what's the big deal? I can also call myself an Apple investor by owning a fraction of Apple stock and I can also say I'm an investor in the top 500 US companies by holding an S&P500 ETF.

Good for you for owning some BTC though.

If you are a person who has just bought Bitcoin and kept it in your own trusted wallet, I will not consider you a Bitcoin investor as long as you don't use Bitcoin or invest it in a certain company. Because if you are only limited to buying and keeping in your wallet, you are not much different from Holders and also from traders who also try to save for a while before they sell it back to the market. So there's no need to consider yourself an investor if your effort is to save before selling again.

Congratulations.
This shows that you've been consistent and ready for a life changing opportunity. it's just a matter of time.

Just keep update with bitcoin and figure out other trading tactics inorder not to make a loss.

Congratulations and welcome abroad man. The quantity doesn’t matter at all. Now you can proudly announce everywhere that you own the valuable Bitcoins. Bitcoins are no doubt valuable, as they are limited in numbers and the demand among the people for the coin also increasing. So OP now the main motive of yours should be to hold the coins as long as you can and yield the maximum profit from it. Sell the coins only when no other options are available. I am very much confident that after few years you will see huge profit on your investment.

You are welcome to invest in Bitcoin. You will hold it for a long time and hopefully get a lot of profit. Even if your investment is small, your investment is welcome. Try to increase your investment amount gradually. Finally I wish you success in your investment.

The OP is just starting, at least he already own Bitcoin which he can decide where to invest it. If he think it that way but still give a good effects let him be. Let's just educate them. He might become a trader than investor in what suits for him. And what you said is right holders and investor is different, holding Bitcoin and waiting for it to sell just to profit consider as trading. But if you're investing, you put your funds in a company for a long period of time or short for you to gain profits. Still congratulations to OP for taking a step in Bitcoin.

Yes, you're now technically a bitcoin investor while the others are still thinking and only investors through their minds because they haven't taken action yet just as you did.
My advice to you is don't get discouraged by any words and if you think that you're going to be a long term investor, just keep it up and continue. No words shall dismay you because you're now part of everyone who's got bitcoin in here. It may just be a fractional for now but don't stop achieving more in the nearest future so DCA.

We don't have to be too strict with newbies, they still have a lot to learn, they already trusted and bought bitcoin, which is a great start. If we can't help them, don't get too upset with them.

OP, congratulations, and welcome aboard with us. I know you are newbies and will have much work to do to make a profit. But what I can ask you to consider before that is about keeping your bitcoins safe. You say you are storing bitcoins on Trust wallet, which is a non-custodial but closed source wallet, which is not good. I'm not saying it's not secure, but you need to have full control over your bitcoins, and that's safety, as well as the difference between bitcoin and a centralized asset. You can learn about Electrum wallet instead of Trust, which is the safest and best software wallet we have available today.

I do not want to be frustrated, but investing is not related to the amount of what you have invested, but rather to your investment mentality, meaning your ideas, plans and return on investment.
It is good to invest part of your money in Bitcoin, but what is the return on that money? For example, the amount of $ 100 will not make you a fortune unless you die, but reducing your expenses and starting to invest and with the passage of days is what will make you a fortune.

Welcome! It took you a long time, but it's still a good time to enter crypto, congrats  What exactly made you buy your first BTC?

0.0045 is worth of around $125. Which is a good amount for first time investment.  Congratulations on investing in Bitcoin.  I think you invest here by gaining good knowledge about Bitcoin and knowing about its risks. I would suggest you use a noncustodial wallet or a hardware to hold them. These will hold your bitcoins securely. And try to hold your bitcoins for a long time and set a target that you will hold it tightly until bitcoin recovers its ATH price. And if you want to invest more then follow DCA to average your bitcoin profit and loss. and anyway good luck to you

Congratulations on your purchase, You have taken the first most important step of becoming an investor which is first investing, be aware that being an investor in bitcoins is a role that comes with a lot of responsibilities and challenges. It is not an easy ride to profit, you must be prepared for the days when it will feel like your investment is being lost to the market, and an urge to pull out while you still can, prepare for the days where there will be emotional trauma and disturbance, you have to be prepared to commit to keeping and holding your bitcoins, just as you commit to increasing your investment in it, you have to be prepared to be someone who do proper research, reading and following up on the news so you will not be given false second hand information.

welcome to the world of bitcoin, for me it doesn't matter how big or small the investment is, every small investor contributes to mass adoption, the important thing right now is to know the advantages and dangers that can be hidden behind bitcoin, first of all price volatility. I advise you to study bitcoin in all its facets! welcome aboard

You should have been applauded if you had accumulated Bitcoin to some degree, like 0.1BTC at the very least? What do you think? Many newbies have the same dream as yours but bear market always ruin that dream.

As you accumulate Bitcoin right now, you haven't made it far at all since this is your first purchase, how much further can you go? I don't want you to feel discouraged, but what you are doing right now is accumulating Bitcoin, have you made any progress yet? no, because you are just getting started, it's not going to be a smooth road.

Also, I hope you invested money you are not going to be using for a long period. There is no shortcut to making money out of Bitcoin, for now, keep biting and storing Bitcoin, maybe when the numbers are right enough like the example I gave you then you can decide to show off, it's not necessary though, but it could be encouraging for newbies like yourself.

Congratulations on your first successful investment. The amount of Bitcoin you invested is equal to the current price of $125. I think you should use a hardware or software wallet instead of keeping the amount of bitcoins you have in a toast wallet. Your money may be at risk in taste wallet so you must collect a strong wallet. and hold the amount of bitcoins you invest for a long period of time. or you are interested in investing more and keep increasing the investment amount. Surely this investment of yours will bring a good profit for your future.

What to you mean by software wallet?  I think you mean by software wallet you suggested to the op is a non-custodial wallet. Congratulations to the op.  And his activities are really commendable.  Day by day the popularity of Bitcoin is increasing and the number of new investors in Bitcoin is increasing. So these events indicate that the future of Bitcoin is very bright and Bitcoin is going to be an alternative payment gateway for all sectors.  Because of the increasing usage of Bitcoin and people's interest in Bitcoin, Bitcoin will be a highly promising currency for the future days.

Congratulations OP on your bitcoin purchase. You didn’t actually say this is your first purchase of bitcoin but as you’re writing with a newbie account, people would automatically assume you’re a newbie that just got bought his first ever bitcoin.
I’m glad you agree the amount you purchased is a very tiny fraction. So you would also agree that it’s a bit too early to be proclaiming yourself to be an investor. Bitcoin holder would be more appropriate, don’t you think?
Congratulations again on your purchase.

Having trading tactics or strategy does not mean that you will not experience losses. You will still lose but it will be minimized because you know how to analyze the market. That's the reality of the market because if there is a strategy that works 100%, many people will get rich. This does not mean that you will not learn tactics in trading, it is still necessary so that you can maximize your income. That's because you know when to entry and at what price.

First of all you are welcome because you bought bitcoin.But don't share what your experience is with Bitcoin investment.If you are a new bitcoin user then you should do more analysis about the market and try to gain experience.If you buy bitcoins to hold, you use a hardware wallet.Which will keep your Bitcoin much safer.And if you want to invest with Bitcoin then you choose a good exchanger. Where you can earn more with bitcoin investment.The amount you have invested is undoubtedly a very good investment.Hope your investment is successful.

0.0045BTC is a good initial investment. It's just over 100$.

Of course, this is a significant event in your life, with which I congratulate you, but it seems to me that similar topics are beginning to flood this forum. Maybe create a separate topic for such announcements, where each new investor will be able to talk about such a significant event? Following the example of this thread - Announce your rank up, merit or any achievements that makes you feel great! (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5391471.msg59647633#msg59647633) 

I advise you to continue to buy bitcoins while the bitcoin price is still below $28k. And even though later the bitcoin price can go up to above $ 30k and still below $ 40k, you can still buy it and keep it.

The target of the people right now is how they can collect more bitcoins before the price gets pumped. And they want to sell their bitcoins at a price more than the last ATH so they keep trying to buy and accumulate bitcoins. And it's okay if we are small investors in crypto because when the price goes up high, we can make big profits.

Welcome! I hope you did a research before investing into bitcoin since this is a very volatile asset and those who didn't do their own research are most likely will sell their bitcoin after it falls in value. Just don't flaunt it everywhere that you hold bitcoin as they can expect you to have a big chunks of bitcoin and you might be targeted for a physicals or digital robbery. Actually the amount of money you have put in buying bitcoin is greater than my first bitcoin investment. I'm also as scared as other people who haven't invested money in their life at that time but after researching it gave me quite a confidence.

Becoming a bitcoin investor will measure your holding time based on their systematic approach to bitcoin's fundamental potential, not to mention the amount of money you spend. Most people want to be investors but they only fall for the extreme volatility of the market which keeps them afloat for even a few days. I consider them just ordinary traders who barely contribute anything.

Great job on investing in Bitcoin! Owning a little bit of Bitcoin in your trust wallet means you own a tiny piece of the whole Bitcoin world. I think that in the future, you might buy more Bitcoin and little by little your profile will grow over time. Keep up the good work!

Is good you have purchased bitcoin, that was how many people purchase but what really made you an investor is to hold for long time. Those who bought at tender age never knew the Importance of bitcoin making them to sell at a very little changes which have kept most of them today regretting of selling. You may call yourself investor since you don't hold for long it doesn't make any sense and if you can't endure during the bear then you aren't an investor.

Congratulations that you are now a Bitcoin investor; 0.0045 is a good start for you, OP. Some newbies started investing in Bitcoin with an amount even lower than yours. According to today's price, your purchase is about $125, which is really a good start. You might call it a small fraction, but you can still continue to accumulate gradually depending on the inflow of your income. You could have a frequent buy order of $10 to $20 per week or monthly, depending on how it suits you, which will enable you to accumulate a good fraction over a long period of time.

Some people unintentionally invest large sums of money in Bitcoin and may feel pressure to sell or hold depending on market volatility. And if the market is dumping, they may have some regrets, but if you feel that $125 was the most you could afford to invest at a stretch, then that's good; you can still accumulate as much as you want gradually.

Then what is the exact meaning of an Investor?

If the OP cannot be considered a Bitcoin investor just because he is just holding his Bitcoin and not investing in some companies as you have said then who is a Bitcoin investor?

According to Oxford Dictionary,
Does this mean that Bitcoin is none of these?
I think Bitcoin can also be referred to as a digital asset, so anyone that invests in it should be referred to as A Bitcoin investor, because they invest in order to be profitable after a while.

Well done mate, you have done well for starting up from the ones you can afford for now. You can still buying it whenever you have cash. This is a good decision you have made. But keeping it in Trust Wallet is what I don't like. Though everyone has their own likeness wallets to store and keep coins. The preferable wallet as a newbie to the Crypto space is Electrum. Electrum is preferable because the transaction fee is even small, but Trust Wallet transaction fees is high. And to send coin from Trust Wallet is not easy as Electrum Wallet.

Due Bitcoin price right now around $28,000 and your purchasing 0.0045 btc seems have invested about $125 for the first time in Bitcoin, nice investment amount actually for your first time investing because comparison with my experienced first time investing under $20. But I am not an investor because selling Bitcoin after reaching above 20% price up.

I hope you can loyal and diamond hand as investor and keep holding your bitcoin fund in trustwallet until one day later Bitcoin back to all time high price and potential with your amount investing about $125 will get double or reach $300 one day later. Recommended after your purchasing delete your wallet and save phrase only for checking three or four years later, seems have surprise maybe Bitcoin will back to higher price again.

Congrat on your investment, it's really a nice beginning, in bitcoin investment, no amount is too small, incase if you are having extral cash you won't be using for now, you can keep on topping up your wallet with more bitcoin and also I will advise you to get a hardware wallet to store your bitcoin, Trust wallet is not a reliable place to store your bitcoin. Also you have to be careful because scammers are everywhere just looking for opportunities to scam people, am sure you will have been receiving messages now, don't respond to any of them.

Why are you praising yourself dude, yes you are now a Bitcoin investor and I know you are very happy to be one and I want you to relax and concentrate on how getting more holdings. You need to be strong because the Bitcoin market is very volatile and it might not be what you are really thinking. The market moves in a up and down pattern so you can buy Bitcoin now and the value depreciate immersely to the level that you may not imagine. To be a Bitcoin investor, you must be ready to hold evm when the market seems like continually going down with no hope of going up.

It is always good to see another one who has Bitcoin asset. But don't forget that Bitcoin invesment is a high risk, you need to learn more deeply about Bitcoin to deal with the risk. Don't think that having Bitcoin means you will easily earning big profits. You need to know well about crypto market, its volatility, and have a strong mentality while you hold it.

Anyway, congrats that you own some BTC on yout wallet now. 🙂

Congratz! Not you get hooked and buy more :). I still remember buying my first. I am pretty sure there are same feelings still involved, but i remember checking my portfolio constantly few weeks and buying more.
After few days i realized that i was looking at the price too much, and constant excitement wasn't good for me. It caused me to lose sleep. After a while i learned to relax. So take my advice and learn to relax and don't stare the price.

Congratulations on the investment you made in Bitcoin OP and welcome to join this forum as well. Then you may have to be able to continue to increase your knowledge about Bitcoin little by little and increase the amount of your investment into Bitcoin so that you can get good profits.
But keep in mind that Bitcoin is a high-risk investment, so you also have to be careful and always upgrade your knowledge to avoid the bad risks that exist in investing in Bitcoin.
And I hope that you can properly use this forum to increase your knowledge or maybe share your experiences about your investments or other activities related to Bitcoin or cryptocurrencies.
Apart from that, if you can grow well in this forum, you can also take advantage of this forum to add a little to your income by participating in existing bounties or signature campaigns. But before doing that you must always follow the rules that have been applied here in order to develop properly.
Keep the spirit and good luck for your journey in Bitcoin investment.

Congratulations OP, I remember what it felt like owning my first sats, it was a relatively small amount but it was the starting point I needed. You’re now your own bank which means you’re solely responsible for the bitcoins in your custody, trust wallet is a good hot wallet but it’s closed source, I recommend Electrum wallet for hodling small amounts, but if you have more than $1k bitcoins I would recommend buying hardware wallet.

Well, okay congratulation on owning bitcoin, yes you are now a Bitcoin investor, and I hope you continue to invest in Bitcoin or maybe learn trading as well to earn a good profit in the future. But still do your own research on what you investing in, and make sure that you only invest a small percentage of your money in bitcoin because it's a really risky investment.

You can easy learn here in the forum, a lot of experience members here can teach you and give you a lot of suggestions on how you can invest or trade cryptocurrency Good luck!

What if the price is over 40k$ or 50k$? Should we buy when bitcoin hits that price? In my opinion, bitcoin is an investment that always pays off in the long run, so buy bitcoin whenever you have the money. You should give a target you will sell, and based on that, you will buy bitcoin, as long as the price is still lower than the price you sell and make a profit, then do not hesitate to buy.
Now we will see $40k, or $50k price is high, but I believe when the bull season comes again, and bitcoin crosses $100k or $200k, we won't stand a chance to see bitcoins costing $40k more. So buy bitcoin when you can.

I know the feeling when you bought your Bitcoin for the first time.
I can also feel the excitement from you because I also felt that way when I bought Bitcoin for the first time around 5 years ago.

You did your first step towards your crypto journey. Now maybe it's time to lock the thread now. It's good that you bought Bitcoin, but it wasn't necessary to create a thread against it. If this trend will continue, more and more users here will post their own threads regarding this one, and at the same time, we don't know if these are true or just a made-up so that they can just create their own thread.

Congratulations, I guess, but lock the thread now. :) Focus on learning more.

your bitcoin investment I think will make you more motivated in the future. Since you are a new investor, try to hold Bitcoin for a long period of time. It's great for you that you got into Bitcoin investing with whatever you could afford. You can invest in Bitcoin with more of your money if you want. Investing in Bitcoin will never risk your money. The current market position is a good time to invest. I think it won't be long before the Bitcoin price goes into a bull market and Bitcoin will grow a lot in the future.

You have selected the right coin for investment and at this time also you have invested about $125 in it which is good.So if you plan to hold it long term you will eventually gain profits on your investment.You need to face lot of tough times also so be prepared for it like some dips or FUD but you should be practical about this approach and keep holding your coins.So congratulations to you on entering this new world and next step towards decentralisation of funds.

Thank you for investing in Bitcoin. You have invested a very valuable coin. Although the amount is small, you still have a large amount. That's why you can be proud of your investment. You keep this investment for a long time. Surely you will see success very soon. But of course one thing you should always remember is to keep the seed phrase of your investment wallet very safe. No one can hack your wallet phase.

He just invested more than 100 USD in bitcoin, even if bitcoin hits 200,000, that amount won't make him successful anytime soon. It can be said that bitcoin will give a good return on his initial capital, but it cannot help him succeed.

OP, Bitcoin is a very good investment, you need to earn more to invest more in bitcoin if you want a better life. Bitcoin has helped many people change their lives, and that opportunity is still available to you.

Yes, owning 0.0045 Bitcoins means owning a small fraction of the total number of Bitcoins in circulation. As a Bitcoin investor, you can earn a profit if the value of Bitcoin increases over time. However, it's important to remember that cryptocurrency markets can be highly volatile, and the importance of Bitcoin can fluctuate rapidly. Therefore, it's always a good idea to research and seek advice from financial professionals before making investment decisions.

Yeah, keep accumulating buddy until the next bull run ends and sell your nice profit. If you consider holding your Bitcoin for a very long time then you should get a hardware wallet like trezor to make sure your funds are save as long as you keep the hardware. Or if you consider getting some altcoins in your portfolio so you won't put all your funds in one basket.

I believe you'll buy more in the future, 0.0045 is not so much right now, but look, if that's what you can afford to lose, or you plan on buying small amounts in this way, it is still a good way to go. Don't only be a BTC investor, learn about BTC and how to store it in open source and self custody wallets, Electrum is so well recommended here and you can try it, just download it from the official site and make sure you back up your seed phrase. Your funds may be small now, but you need to secure it, it could grow higher later on, and you may also continue to buy more using dollar cost averaging. But please do not start threads everytime to tell us when you buy BTC, it is not necessary, and you can be targeted.

I hope you are consistent to hold your Bitcoin. it's not easy but if you are a beginner. more of them fail to hold for many reasons.
you have started, even with a small nominal, you can collect Bitcoin consistently. and finally in a long time you will have a fairly large accumulation of Bitcoin assets.
simply believe that the Bitcoin that you have will be profitable for you. so even if the market is down, you can still have faith in your Bitcoin will grow back.

Congratulations to you then. But please don't stop there. Accumulating more is the best idea and how you will keep it in the long run. There will be fluctuations that will happen, and demons will come asking you to sell. Don't do it unless you are a trader. As an investor, it will also test how strong your hands will be. Weak hands will sell and regret later. You don't want to be a part of that group because I am and now, I am regretting those moments that I sold my coins.

Its good that you have started to invest in Bitcoin. Just make sure you know the risks involved. Learn as much as you can about the market. Holding onto your Bitcoin for the long term can be a good strategy since historically, it has shown significant gains over time. If you see the price crashing, don't end up selling. Also make sure to keep your wallet secure and backed up to avoid losing your funds. Remember, it's always a good idea to invest what you can afford, even if it's a small amount. Every little bit adds up over time. Good luck on your crypto adventure!

your bitcoin amount is 0.0045 it seems to be around 125 dollars if you cash it out at the current bitcoin price...
i think this is a good start.
and hopefully in the future you can add to your btc and buy gradually using the dca system.

and the time now is a good moment to hold btc while buying btc every time there is a downturn.

I wish you success with your investment.

Congratulations as you are a new bitcoin investor. you join the Bitcoin investment with only as much money as you can afford. First investment is always a lot of joy for everyone.Wish your investment success. But you don't stop at this investment, if you want to move forward in the future, you must focus on more investments. and keep increasing your amount of money gradually from small amount then you can become a successful investor in future.

Congratulations to you on that, since you consider it a very big thing, I believe you have waited long for this moment and must have put together the money that you used in achieving this with hardships probably and it wasn't actually easy for you to purchase Bitcoins initially, and considering that, I will surely give you a piece of advice that you should follow.

Keeping your Bitcoins in Trust Wallet is not a good thing. The reason for that is that you don't have access to the private key of the Bitcoin wallet that stores your Bitcoins in Trust Wallet, and that is a bad thing, you will know it later. For now, since it isn't a really big amount, I would suggest you download the Electrum wallet either on your phone or PC, or laptop. Create a wallet, generate a receiving address, and send your Bitcoins there. Make sure you keep your private key and seed phrase somewhere very safe.

Very nice that you took the step to invest in bitcoin and I hope the timing will be good for you. What you can do is to educate yourself about bitcoin and especially how to secure your coins properly. Also there are many bounty options especially here in this forum to get more coins for zero investment.

Welcome to the Crypto world and also in the Bitcointalk forum. And I am glad to see that you choose btc for your investment and also appreciate your feelings It's not really that big of a deal but I understand your feelings,
I also had a good initial feeling when I made my bitcoin investment but I used a centralized exchanger then, I see you didn't do that and chose a none-custodial wallet for investment which is a very good move. Still I would suggest you to purchase a hardware wallet, it will provide more protection for your funds, being an offline wallet you don't face phishing and hacking easily.
I would also suggest to you increase your investment through good DCA (Dollar-cost averaging) management. And of course, the investment should be for long-term investment.
And I agree with you on this point, but I think the op will have no problem with this investment unless he holds for the long term, especially at the current price he bought it is also definitely a good DIP. But I will also tell him to go through learning because many times some peoples make mistakes by not selling in bull-run also, so there is no alternative of learning to avoid all particulars. And this forum is a perfect place to learn about bitcoin and cryptocurrency.

Congratulations on your investment and I hope you can continue with your next investment.
Investing in bitcoins requires patience because we cannot see the results right away and it takes time but it will work well and give you the desired results.
Even if you have a small portion of bitcoins, you still have plenty of time to buy more bitcoins and that means you have to make the most of your time to be able to collect more bitcoins.
Many people are still buying bitcoin at the current price because they believe that the price of bitcoin will increase very high and provide them with big profits.

Well, first, let me say a big Congratulations to you on bitcoin a crypto investor and a bitcoin holder in particular.

If you intend holding this bitcoin for a long period of time, then my advice to you is to choose another wallet, trust wallet is a non-custodial wallet quite alright, but it's not an open source project..

Best wallet apps to hold crypto currencies are wallets apps that are non-custodial and also open source..
And to offer a suggestion, I will advice you go for wallet like Mycelium wallet,  exodus and a host of others, I currently use mycelium and its a great crypto wallet, the app is available on both Android and ios app stores.
Goodluck.

investing in bitcoin with a small amount of money is actually not a problem if it is for your first purchase of btc, and now you will feel the sensation of investing in btc.

to be honest, this is a good start for you because at this time the price of btc can still be said to be cheap.
my advice is that you have to be strong to hold your btc until you get big profits,
and you can sell your btc when the btc price has gone up high or you can call it a bull run.

welcome to this forum and good luck with your investment.

When I was still a newbie in the space, I used most of my money to invest in bitcoin, I did record more losses than profits as of then. Currently, I've recovered all and I'm targeting to explore more in the space because we make good discoveries every single new day. I know that feeling when one becomes an investor in the market, capable of bagging more solid coins that have good enchance potential chances to pump. Investing in Bitcoin is a good idea and bagging more coins during the bear season will definitely boost your portfolio when the bull starts calling.

I congratulate you for investing in Bitcoin. I think you have chosen the right coin so you have profited from your investment. Hopefully if you can keep your investment money for a few more years then you will earn more coins from this invested money.  You will get profit after a few years. If you want, you can sell the investment money now and invest again when the price of Bitcoin goes to dumping.

You got off zero. That's one of the most important steps. Well done.

Congratulations! In terms of investing in Bitcoin, I think there is no such thing as a tiny amount. Many people want to invest in Bitcoin but believe that their meager financial resources won't allow them to make significant gains. They fail to realize, however, that even a small profit is still preferable than none. By investing in bitcoin, I believe you have made a significant step.

If you haven't done your own research, attempt to do it so that you won't be anxious about your Bitcoin investment. I may claim that you have done your own research by understanding the danger associated in bitcoin investing, but if you haven't, try to do it. Once more, congratulations and best wishes for additional opportunities to get more it.

That's bad advice, what makes you so sure that bitcoin will be dumped in the coming days? Are you willing to sell your bitcoins at this point? I bet you wouldn't dare do that, let alone give the OP advice, what he should do is keep holding.

Congratulations to you on your purchase of bitcoin and welcome to bitcointalk platform. You made the right decision acquiring it at the right time and also joining this platform too because coming here shows that you are ready to know more and get acquainted to learning more about bitcoin.  And if I may ask you, what is your investment strategy to the fraction of bitcoin you purchased? Are you holding it for a long term or you would trade on it taking profit to accumulate more or channeling your profits to another use? These are the questions to answer if you would want to sustain the name a bitcoin holder or investor.

That is not the way to welcome a newbie to the community. At least he has started his venture in the bitcoin community.
Now that he has started, he will get to know more about it and may be then he will be able to decide what more to do with his coins.
Besides that what more do you want from a person if he is already holding some portion in bitcoin. That's how things start.

if you really want to invest when the bitcoin price is down, of course, that's a good suggestion, but if you sell what you already have, it's certainly not recommended. I totally agree that it's not good if you already have bitcoin but sell it first and wait for the price to drop to buy it back, because it's not easy to determine that the price will drop again.
it's better if you already have it and have it for investment, it's better to just hold on and buy it with other funds, remember that the increase will probably come soon. at least next year where the era of the halving period has started rolling, so buy and hold it soon.

Exactly! At least he heard about bitcoin and bought one, and since he is new to this kind of industry of course it is only expected that he only has bitcoin. We shouldn't rain on his parade and at the very least let's welcome him and celebrate his first step on bitcoin and crypto industry. When I first encountered bitcoin too, all I know is that it could be used as other payment methods online aside from paypal at that time. After venturing and staying in the industry for a couple of months, that's when I learned that bitcoin's price can increase and it is possible for you to hold it since it will appreciate in value over time. That is also when I gathered more information on how I can effectively earn more money to buy for more bitcoin, at that time also I learned bunch of useful things like trading in the market using alt coins or even bitcoin, doing side hustles to buy bitcoin, claim those faucets hourly and so much more.

Congratulations OP, I think you have made a good choice that will improve your resources in future because invested in Bitcoin in this season, showed that you will be part of the massive pumping that is about to happen soon. I believe, with time you will increase that amount of Bitcoin so that you will not regret when the price of Bitcoin hit higher in the market, because the bigger amount of money you invest in Bitcoin will determine the huge amount of money you are going to make at the end of your investment. I will advise you to hold your Bitcoin in your trust wallet like two or three years before you can sell to make a good income.

Bitcoin is a popular currency that many people are making a lot of money from Bitcoin. And many people are losing a lot of money by investing in Bitcoin.  A friend of mine invested in Bitcoin a few days ago.  After investing he sold his bitcoins at a loss. Now and Bundu regrets a lot and says that if he had not sold the bitcoins, now he could have sold the bitcoins at a huge profit.

He lost because of his stupidity and impatience means he doesn't know much about Bitcoin. So he was very scared of investing in bitcoins and panicked and sold them when the price of bitcoins dropped a bit. Bitcoin is a very potential coin so if one invests here patiently for long time it will definitely give him good quality profit. It's your friend's fault. In order to profit from Bitcoin, every investor must hold it for a long time. Bitcoin will never be a good profit for anyone in the short term because it is not gambling

I think his guy is very stupid. He can't be anything but a big idiot. I have never lost money investing in bitcoin. I think he doesn't know much about bitcoin. He is new to bitcoin and doesn't know about trading.  He was in a lot of worries and later he sold his bitcoins at a loss and then when he saw the price of bitcoins increased, he realized that investing in bitcoins is never a loss if you can hold it for a long time.

First experienced possibility investing in Bitcoin and really panic moment when looking bitcoin price going drop, I sure all investor ever in this position panic moment after investing and Bitcoin price drop. Disappointed with less educative how to control emotion when bitcoin drop and keep clam waiting for Bitcoin back to higher without panic moment and cut loss.

Not investor typical maybe for cut loss when Bitcoin drop, have moment bitcoin some time in lower or higher price and need waiting right time if want to earn profit in bitcoin investment.

Why not?
You are an investor, and currently is good seeing newbies venture into crypto space. I am always happy because this was the opportunity i never utilized on time and was ashamed of myself for not thinking at the right part of starting investing gradually to increase my portfolio as time goes, i hope you would adopt to buying bitcoin gradually to increase the percentage of your holdings.

Most of those who lose on bitcoin make the same simple mistakes, that's right: they buy when there is a hype already and sell when a panic sale period. So they buy at the high and sell at the low and that's why they lose. If to stay calm and buy at the bear market when there is no rush and then to sell when the bull trend they'll have an opportunity to get gross. It is not so difficult to understand, but not everyone ever read that they didn't lose until they sold. Bitcoin is an asset with which everyone can get some profit even if there will be no losers, so it is in interest of us all to say how not to lose to everyone interested.

Well, in the first place OP, only a few people have bought a huge amount of Bitcoin instantly, most of us are getting BTC in fractions by applying DCA. Because it was not necessary that have to buy 1BTC if we can't as investing should also rely on our financial capabilities. In fact, buying 0.001BTC every week could make it 1BTC in the future. And besides, we don't just buy and hold Bitcoin for our whole life as we sell them when the good price comes to make a profit. And repeat the business again...

I do not think this is true, once it is called the financial market, the investment market, there will always be winners and losers. Financial markets mean money is transferred from the weak hands to the strong hands, you cannot expect everyone to win in the market. If there is no high-priced buyer, how can you take a profit? Conversely, if there is no low-price seller, how can you buy at a high discount? The market isn't easy, it's grim, and the marketplace is a battleground.

There are many people who know about Bitcoin but panic and sell it when they see the price of Bitcoin dump. It is everyone's personal matter.  So one can sell his investment at a loss if he wants. But those who invest in Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies hoping for high profits in the short term will never achieve anything good from here. They will only lose and such people are the ones who make bad comments about Bitcoin that Bitcoin only harms us financially.

If you can prolonged the stay of the coin you purchased, having 0.0045 bitcoin in your wallet you are an investor, but I want you to understand its you determination will determine if you are an investor of cryptocurrency or not, one thing we need to concentrate on diversification of investment depending your ambition or target in cryptosphere investment. Last four years many people were afraid of bitcoin, and when you brief them of bitcoin they find it very difficult to invest in bitcoin,  but due to the advert of bitcoin online many has developed interest over bitcoin, I think its a welcomed development.

As a new investor your investment amount is not small and with this investment you are also able to enroll yourself as a Bitcoin investor. Even if your investment seems small according to the current market, it will surely be valued as a big investment if you get all time high of Bitcoin price. I would suggest you to acquire proper knowledge on how to manage yourself in Bitcoin ups and downs. So that you can hold bitcoins according to your desired goals.

Congratulations to you for first investing in Bitcoin. This may be your start but I believe your investment will increase as you gain a better knowledge of Bitcoin.  In this way thousands of new investors like you are joining Bitcoin investment every day which is further increasing the advancement of Bitcoin.

Accumulate as possible because those can be a good factor in future investments, if you are holding those coins it could be pump or dumped of course must need to make sure you have the capability to handle the mental instability because of the possible news, info, you can get in the internet about the future of the bitcoin. If you have the budget to get an investment with bitcoin why not buy a good wallet such as cold wallets for your coins security this could be a good and head start move.

Good luck and congratulations for buying an amount of btc. I hope that you would profit double in the end of 2023. It is good to buy few coins like btc, eth, bnb. I also hold few coin. Good luck for upcoming future of crypto world.

sometimes big things start from small things. for now, this value is not satisfactory, but if you consistently invest in bitcoin, then little by little you may have a value that is close to 1 bitcoin in the wallet you have. However, it was a very good decision, because currently there is quite a lot of FUD in altcoins, so it would be better to choose bitcoin as an investment in crypto. but remember that don't invest too much in bitcoin, and use money that you are willing to lose.

Congratulations to you OP, you have invested in an appropriate time due to the current price is kinda low ( under $30K ) comparing to previous periods. Also I advise you to purchase more and as much as you can before the halving. In fact, it is highly possible to see a significant  pump in next year in case no sudden events going to happen. In conclusion, Bitcoin is basically affected with government's decisions or actions toward it.

Well , I remember when China banned  cyptocurrency mining  in 2021, at the time the market  dramatically decreased especially Bitcoin and Ethereum. Otherwise, It is preferable to invest in long term and chase the best opportunities,  that's why you should have an acceptable amount of stable coin and once Bitcoin's price goes down significantly, convert them.

Congratulations on your purchase, it's a good start compare to what I started out with although I have grown my own investment overtime through DCA and recent signature campaign earnings, and I am happy today that bitcoin have been showing some resistance to break the 30k mark, atleast I would have some interesting interest to my investment but am still holding strong and I would also advise for you to follow in same step to grow your investment. Using DCA Is very profitable especially when the funds is not available at hand to buy big and it will ease you stress in your investment plan.

The first thing about the OP is that he has chosen the best asset in the crypto space as his investment, which is great. While I don't care how much he currently has, the most important thing is that he has it. We never know what the price per satoshi will be in the future if the OP really wants to hold his bitcoin in the long term, at least it will be profitable in my opinion.

$100 can become $300 when bitcoin reaches ATH $90k, but of course it takes long time to see for real. Another suggestion for the OP is, buy as long as you have the budget, but don't force yourself to invest if you still need the budget to make ends meet.

I congratulate op for purchasing his first Bitcoin and that is a great achievement that many persons are still longing to achieve. To be a Bitcoin investor is not easy so op will have to know the risk that is attached to the market if he want to be a satisfied investor. There are so many opportunities being an investor and I hope he will be able to see them.

It is good OP purchased bitcoin as an investment which is not bad.  Being a bitcoin holder/investor does not only mean you being in possession of some fractions of bitcoin though there is no problem about that but knowing bitcoin and why it was invented is another thing. I think this is the best time to buy more because there is every possibility that bull run is near and can start any moment from now. Now is the right time to feel your bags. Another thing you should do is making sure your bitcoin are stored in your private wallet not with a third party custodial wallet otherwise if anything happens, your assets are all gone. Remember the phrase "not your keys, not your coin".

Welcome to the world of crypto investing! Your 0.0045 Bitcoin may be a small fraction of the total amount, but every little bit counts. Who knows, maybe one day it'll be worth a fortune.

It is always amazing to see new people joining our crypto world. It is small compared to most other things in the world and seeing how these are growing is amazing and I really enjoy it a lot. I personally hope that it will get as much as possible and we would see it do as well as it could get. It is not going to be that easy, and I know that we are going to have to end up with a lot more people but every single person is a big help.

OP, thank you from bottom of my heart to decide to take the jump and got in, there could be periods when it looks like it is not going to be doing good, but believe me, if you wait long enough then you are going to end up with something much better, it eventually always goes up again.

If you have one apple and want to play with it on a market you can't get another apple and so there will be winners and losers. But if you use apple seeds and plant a garden then you first have one apple and then you'll have many apples and it is possible that everyone will become winners. It is not necessary, but it is possible. Bitcoin is a deflationary asset, so it becomes more expensive with time, so it is possible that everyone can be a winner. Not everyone will but everyone can, it is possible.

I guess your mind is playing with all the calculations of how much that starting Bitcoin you have now. If Bitcoin's price reaches $100k x 0.0045BTC then that's easy $450 for you.
Do those calculations and that's going to make you excited to acquire and accumulate more Bitcoins just as everyone is here trying to aim for more.
And I've almost forgotten to welcome you to the Bitcoin HODLERS club, as if there's such in existence.  :D

Totally with you there, every drop counts as they say right? 0.0045 is a good amount, that's enough to get food for a day my country. To OP, I am sure that you won't stop at this number, I'm sure you will heed the advice of the other people who replied to this thread to accumulate more while the prices are not soaring real high.

Nobody is saying bitcoin is a bad investment choice for anyone ^{[unless you are a hater].} If you believe in the potential that bitcoin will achieve in the long term, then you should become an holder. Meanwhile if you are just trying to make profit from it, then consider selling when you are making profit. I've said in other posts, bitcoin is still 56% below its last ATH, so now should be good time to invest and expect a worth it return.

Although the amount is small, here the good news is at least you are already part of the investor, and there may be a difference between Investors or Asset holders in their own wallets and these can be called traders and holders, it's a good job you do prefer Bitcoin in among others even though the amount is not very large, but we hope you will remain consistent on this path.

Frankly, maybe you are a beginner and have just joined, we congratulate you on your partner with other Bitcoin users, and this is good for you at least you already have Bitcoin Assets, I hope you are successful in your new journey even as a small investor and we hope you will continue to add to it even in small amounts and this is not a problem, maybe you will get knowledge education with other Bitcoin Investor members.

Kudos, OP. Don't weigh what you've as a mere fraction. That 0.0045 is $135 in today's worth. So, you see? It's not really that small. I bet you, you can still find veteran members who don't even have a single satoshi they're hodling. They buy or earn and then convert into fiat almost immediately they've it. Just continue buying.

I think today's Op has made a few percent profit on his bitcoin purchase because bitcoin has already stepped on the $30k price level and he bought bitcoin before in the $27k-$28K area, and that is a definite profit to get from buying bitcoin if you invest in bitcoin , I don't really recommend Altcoins because Altcoins have a higher risk that maybe you will have a bigger loss of your money, I'm not saying that Altcoins are bad but yes that's how it is but DYOR for your investment decision, I'm just a reminder.

You currently owe around $135 if you multiply the 0.0045 bitcoin you owe in your trust wallet by the current price of $30k+ for bitcoin. This puts you on the winning side of your bitcoin investment since you bought bitcoin before it reached its $30k price. Imagine that you decide to hold onto your 0.0045 bitcoin till the bull run begins. Depending on the situation, your 0.0045 bitcoin might even make you a fortune.

Well, congratulations to you on your first purchase of bitcoin

Recently on this forum, there are many stories about new adopters making their first Bitcoin purchases or about small businesses which adopted Bitcoin.

It's always good news to hear more people are acquiring Bitcoin, even if it's in small amounts. My advice is that OP continues buying BTC in small amounts always it's possible and that he stores his coins in a hardware Trezor or Ledger wallet. I would say next time, between buying more BTC or buying a wallet, he should go for the wallet...

A good start, but this is probably not the end goal for your investment, try to multiply your bitcoins, because so far your investment seems too small to create a new topic for this. But once you have done that, you are now obligated to achieve good results in investing.  ;) And also think about safe storage, since a trust wallet is not the most reliable option out there. While the amount of investment is insignificant, this is not critical, but in the future, this must be thought about.

That amount may not be a significant amount, but it is money and we also know that making money is extremely difficult these days. It may be small at today's prices, but 10 years from now, it won't be small if bitcoin is worth $1 million or more. I think OP should switch to another wallet is necessary and should be done immediately. Electrum is also a free wallet and doesn't cost anything to get it, so he shouldn't hesitate to just think it's a small amount.

Congratulations your first step is appreciable and this step will lead you to a successful destination. You take a better decision and as the time passes this little amount will change into maximum amount but you have to keep hold your bitcoin until it gives you huge success.

Now you have hold your bitcoin so whenever you get a time try to learn more about it because just holding is not the way to success but there are also lots of other things which you have to understand and follows the rules to be a success investor. Try to understand about the trading strategies so you will easily make decision according to the situations also remember that whenever the market is against your hopes so keep holding and never be in rush of making profit as the profitable destiny requires some years.

Lmao exactly. Everytime I see a post like this, I'm stuck between congratulating them for taking that step and finally investing in bitcoin but at the same time some of these people feel like they should be given a parade or smth. In any case I don't wanna sound so cynical or negative about it but yeah. Just a little weird for me sometimes.

I'd let it slide too if he had held a considerable amount of bitcoin too, but 0.0045 is a little insignificant? Oh well, let's just hope he keeps at it and expand what he already has now.

Cheers, that's great for you ?
Next are you going to try to buy regularly or are you just waiting for a profit from your 0.0045 bitcoin, my assumption is that you will try to enter in the second round by utilizing extract capital. That's what you should be doing and I don't know if you understand bitcoin buying patterns in some way?

Lots of congratulations coming your way, that's great for incentives to trigger you to buy, but what you should be aware of is the very risky nature of investing in bitcoin. If you don't have patience and don't understand very volatile market conditions. Also consider what I'm saying and you will be successful in bitcoin for the long term?

Since you collected bitcoins as a new investor, you must have some fraction of bitcoins. But I think the security is not complete for you in the wallet where you have collected the bitcoins. Instead of keeping your bitcoins in a trust wallet, use a strong hardware or software wallet. Because the wallet that your bitcoins are in is likely to be hacked and I think trust wallets are not very strong in terms of security. Since you are investing in Bitcoin for the first time, you should use powerful software that will be safe for your money.

Good job Victony, really welcome to the party. 0.0045 is not a small amount of BTC as it's just a start and you could grow more on this platform. All you have to do is, set a goal to fulfill it in the targeted time. (Don't be hard on yourself by making tough rules). I still didn't invest any money in BTC as you convert your money into BTC I earn BTC by doing jobs and small tasks. But still, I am happy for you. I have a small tip for you to follow, you should perform DCA (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5168667.0) whenever you want to buy a pile of BTC because in this way you could increase your profit ratio and decrease loss ratio too.

Then what difference it made to invest your BTC in another company? I did not get your point. Are you advising him/her to put btc in the staking platform or what. Like what companies are offering BTC as investment opportunities well if there are any then what difference it makes to invest BTC when you can invest your fiat currency directly in that platform or company? What I think is holder and investor both sell their assets at last the difference remains is of timespan. Like holders take less time and investors take more time. (AFAIK) but it will be my pleasure if you would shed more light on investment in companies using BTC is the right way to declare yourself a BTC investor.

It just shows that people are proud to be investors. This is not normal with many assets, but this the shows that Bitcoin still has a thing that fascinates people. To me that is very good news.

holding bitcoins is a very appropriate action, although of course the capital required is also not small, I agree with you mate that making the decision to start with the smallest value but continuing to do it continuously will certainly result in greater results in time, but you have to be consistent in doing it because without it will not get maximum results.

Trading is of course not easy if you don't study the basics of trading well, but if you have studied well, of course doing so is very helpful, making bitcoin more meaningful and able to increase, you don't have to just buy it. once again trading actions must be full of confidence because one wrong step will actually make the value of the deposit decrease.

Congratulations on your new step into being a millionaire,so many person's have been here for a long period of time,and they don't still think of investing,but atleast you've taken a step ahead into your future,and also a step in making your future a success.You need to know so many things as you are now an investor,you  need to know that dissappointment is part of the game,loses is part of the game, heartbreak is part of the game.You should know you have started the game of risk,but that risk you took to invest, will definitely bring you result that will make you happy for the rest of your life.It is good to see someone make a reasonable and a calculative move towards becoming a wealthy personel.

You hqvebdone well by having this bold step to start with something no matter how little but you have placed yourself on a much tendencies for taking high risk because if you're to hodl bitcoin then it must be on a decentralized wallet and a cold storage preferably, trust wallet is not perfect enough for me to accept it utilization in holding an asset for long, you can choose a hardware wallet, electrum wallet or you run a bitcoin full node.

First of all, I congratulate you.
Learning about the topic of cryptocurrencies and investing in it is already a great achievement! You have also found a way to buy Bitcoin and get it into your wallet!

I hope that you keep your first piece of bitcoin on a reliable wallet. Such as a Ledger, a trust wallet or Exodus.
Also I want to beware you to keep in safe your private phrase.

Investing in bitcoin will not make you rich, nor will you become a millionaire in the future. I mean, you cannot become a millionaire or become rich with just a small amount of capital to start, even if bitcoin hits $1 million. To do that, you need a fairly large amount of capital to invest. Investing in bitcoin only ensures that we can get a better return than other assets and will take less time.
In addition, bitcoin is not only profitable, but many people also invest in it because they like privacy and can control their own assets without the need for a 3rd party.

As long as you aren't using Bitcoin or invest it in a specific business, I won't consider you as a Bitcoin investor if you recently purchased Bitcoin and kept it in your own reliable wallet. Since traders and holders both attempt to save money before selling it back to the market, if all you can do is buy and store it in your wallet, you are not all that different from them. Therefore, if your goal is to save money before selling again, there's no need to think of yourself as an investor.

Congratulations! I think it's a good way to invest money, cryptocurrency uncovers great opportunities! I think it's a good sum to start with. In general, BTC is for long-term investment, so it can be useful to add some more bitcoins later...

Welcome on board to the family, you successfully purchased the world hardest money to get and the easiest money to use just like the first bitcoin cartoon I watched today called it. Bitcoin is practically the best money the world has ever seen although its original plan was not for any investment purpose but seeing to how its volatility has made it a reliable source of investment people like me and you are now exploiting this added benefits when it comes to the use of bitcoin. My only advice for on this your journey is not to be in haste to sell your coins and always have your keys to your wallet safely kept in case of any uncertain accidents.

From the way OP sounds, I think OP did not purchase that fraction of bitcoin with the aim of getting rich quickly with it and come to talk of it, in a normal sense one should know that such volume of bitcoin is near nothing to make anyone rich overnight even when the price of bitcoin increases. It takes a large reasonable volume purchased to realize such dreams and expectations.

I am not talking bad about OPs purchase volume but rather seeing from the perspective that OP is Happy owning bitcoin in fractions which is a good thing for OP and should be encouraged if possible to buying more of bitcoin

Lastly, privacy was one of the major tenet's of bitcoin. Hence the reason why people delved into converting their assets into bitcoin so as to have a good store of value in their assets after years or however the case maybe.

No matter how small your holding amount might be, you ought to see yourself  as a shareholder and being a shareholder  in bitcoin,  simply means that you're an investor  as well.
Well I don't know how exposed you see to bitcoin,  but I also understand  that holding while learning is a great one but hope you also know that bitcoin is a volatile asset and as sure, nothing is certain or let me say guaranteed  in the industry, so it will be nice that you invest more in getting the knowledge  you desire so as to flow with the tides when the time is right.
Anyways, congratulations and I hope that the journey goes  smoothly for you.

Storing bitcoins in your wallets is nothing more than taking risks in order to profit afterwards, prices are paid inother to achieve our goals. Owning some bitcoins in your portfolio is not a simple undertaking; you've already signed up for the market's unexpected volatility, and there's more to come on your route to becoming an experienced investor. Bitcoin made so many good moves during the bull time, and the bear season is merely for planning our investments; accumulating more coins with prospective abilities for future use is the ultimate goal for investors.

I hope you are strong, don't be like people who claim to be Bitcoin investors but have weak hands.

Your pride in being a Bitcoin investor by owning the amount of Bitcoin you mentioned must be congratulated. Hopefully the balance will increase again so that it becomes a big investor who can beat several names like Michael Taylor who is said to have a large amount of Bitcoin with MicroStrategy.
Why do you save in Trust Wallet when there are many other better Bitcoin wallets to use?
