There's really nowhere you can get 1 bitcoin in a month or two without having some money to start off with. You can either trade on exchanges or start with fiat.

I'm sure there are hundreds of thousands of bitcoin lost already, mainly because folks threw them away for whatever reason due to either human error or because they thought it would be worthless in the early days.

With a market as volatile as cryptos, it's hard to tell. Thus, you always need a sell strategy. When your coin hits a certain price point where you've planned to sell then sell without hesitation.

I would recommend having a look at deep onion.

I think that's really up to you. Having a sell strategy is better than having none, regardless the situation. Buy at the dip and when prices have gone up, sell when it's good enough for you. I usually sell during 10-15% increase increments and is willing to change that depending on the news.

I think you'd see the risk from a mile away. Bitcoin isn't going anywhere soon. It will always be its own ship. The risk really is that you won't be profiting as much. Keep in mind that alts are capable of increasing at a faster pace than bitcoin.

I personally don't think so. I can probably see it hitting $2000 by the end of the year. Keep in mind that ethereum now has several competitors.
