Beginner questions

[boty]

I just wonder, since im completely new to the stock exchange, If I invest 250 dollars, can I loose them if the price goes down? Or do I still hold my share.

If you sell it when the price goes down you will obviously lose your money. When the price goes down, the best thing you can do is hold it until the price goes up again. That way you will not experience losses. You need to know that the crypto market is very volatile. Therefore, carry out an in-depth analysis before investing.

It is always better, before deciding to invest, that we must first carry out in-depth research so that we can make a decision on the investment we will make, because if we cannot understand well the type of investment being made, of course they will not be able to benefit from it. the investment they make, so it is very important for every person who wants to invest to seek all knowledge about investment to be able to generate profits from the investment they will make.

I think you should first clear your mind because if you have fear of losing money then you cannot take profit from bitcoin because after a slight dump you will be scared of losing money as a result of which you can make any wrong decision.

Bitcoin is not useless coins like that of others and if price goes down you can hold it for longer time until the price increase from your buying price. The value of your holded bitcoin will changes when the situations of the market gets changes but remember that in bad circumstances you can just hold your bitcoin because decision of selling at that stage will cause a big loss for you.

I get your point and you're worried about your money regardless the price low or high, if you're not bothered about the profit then the money you used in investing will still stand like you made mentioned of $250. There's not point exhibiting fear with the price of bitcoin except you have zero knowledge about bitcoin, when the price of bitcoin decrease there's still chance for the price to increase that's one thing you need to understand about bitcoin, the bull and bear market, as an investor who want to make profit will want to sell during the bull market. You should have a clearer meaning about bitcoin investment cause it seems you speak with doubt.

Bitcoin is a lot different from stocks. Bitcoin might drop into zero and you still have chances to grow it again by being patient while waiting for its price to recover. However, with stocks, if they end with no value, they will eventually become delisted in an exchange, thus losing your own investment more than you can imagine. If you lose $250 in stocks, you will never retrieve it again. But if you invest it in bitcoin, that will grow 5x or 10x from its amount if you are just capable of holding your investment for couple of years without being tempted to sell earlier.

You will not lose your bitcoin when you invest because however much you buy will still be the same but in terms of value there will definitely be a decline when bitcoin decreases but in this case we will not lose your bitcoin.

But in this case we must be aware that this is a risk because after all when we talk about bitcoin then this is not only sweet things but also have to think about the worst possibilities that must occur therefore learning by researching in advance about what bitcoin is an important thing to do.

Being in bitcoin is ultimately not as easy as imagined because there must be several things that must be prepared including learning and a strong mentality so in this case before you start it would be better if you learn more first.

I agree with what you're saying because after all, this is a basic and important thing to do.
Many people do not want to be complicated by taking shortcuts where they will just be in bitcoin and buy it without learning first. Believe it or not even though this is a silly thing but many beginners who follow fomo still do things like that and I personally have also felt the same way where when some of my family suggested bitcoin I immediately bought it but did not learn more first.

This is clearly a mistake and carelessness because by skipping basic learning we are like buying goods in a mystery box without knowing whether it will be a jackpot or turn into a zonk.

Hello!

I´ve been interested in trading crypto for quite some time now and finally joined eToro.

I just have a question, I noticed Bitcoin have been doing really good the last 6 months and I now want to invest a very small sum of 250 dollars.

I just wonder, since im completely new to the stock exchange, If I invest 250 dollars, can I loose them if the price goes down? Or do I still hold my share.

Maybe this sounds dumb, but does Bitcoin work the same as a normal share? If I invest in a real stock I probably get to keep my share even if the value is zero?

Does it work the same with Bitcoin shares as well?

Best Regards

     You know my advice to you is that instead of investing in the stock exchange, it is better to invest in crypto exchanges. Because you will have more control over the bitcoin you buy compared to the stock exchange you are talking about.

     Then you have 100% more control over bitcoin, unlike stocks, of course what they still use there is the traditional way. and that's normal because they are regulated unlike crypto exchanges, not everything is like that, just make sure that the exchange you buy bitcoin from is on top, like Binance, Mexc, and others. Here I will give you the difference between stocks exchange and crypto exchange, just read it https://corporatefinanceinstitute.com/resources/cryptocurrency/cryptocurrency-vs-stocks/

Did you mean the real Bitcoin or Bitcoin ETFs? Bitcoin ETFs works same like stock.

But if you talk about Bitcoin, that's completely different. It's true in case Bitcoin worth $0, you can still own your coins. But if stock or ETFs went to $0, you doesn't have your share again because the stock exchange already delisted the stock.

It means you own nothing and you can't do anything, but in Bitcoin you can send your coins regardless the price is and no one can control it.

I think he asked how it works, and I think it's the same, the value is determined by the user and its use.
if there are many people who want to use them, these 2 commodities will continue to rise, but here bitcoin is the main one in crypto so there will be little difference with shares.

For note BTC is not categorized as shares. Shares are usually issued by a company that has carried out an Initial Public Offering (IPO) and are bought and sold only on the capital market and if someone wants to buy it, then the profits are obtained from the company's profit dividends.

Well, if you invest in BTC and buy it for the benefits you can enjoy it directly without having to depend on other people and of course BTC also becomes access to world markets for business and this is the reason why blockchain is changing the financial world today where we can see its role in real terms or indirectly it also supports the growth process in developing countries, although in a limited way, such as in El Salvador for example.

If you invest in a company in the stock market, you can hold the shares even if they fall in price until you are profitable.  And if you want to talk about Bitcoin then it is a digital currency and it is measured in satoshis so you will own as many satoshis as you can buy and if the price of bitcoin goes down then your investment amount will definitely come down and if the price of bitcoin goes up you will get profit.  And you can hold your bitcoins for as long as you want

You need to know and remember that Bitcoin and shares are two very different things. Generally Bitcoin is generated from a computer system usually called "Blockchain", based on a supply and demand agreement. When you decide to buy Bitcoin, you will have digital money according to the amount of money you invested to buy Bitcoin. In general, both Bitcoin and stocks have movements that are not continuously flat. The assessment can go up or down which can be influenced by several factors. However, for cryptocurrencies, changes in value can occur suddenly and drastically without warning and are more volatile. Meanwhile, for shares, the rate of movement is considered slower depending on the performance and developments in issues related to the company in question.

I mean going up and down is part of the market and there is really nothing else we can do about it, we just have to accept it the way it is. I get that some people may want something bigger than that, but we are not going to get it and we have to learn to live with it. Just wanting it to go up in a stable manner, like maybe 0.1% a day, it looks something small but going up everyday like that would not be acceptable.

First of all, that's savings account and you are getting interest, secondly it's way too high in dollar terms, maybe there are some terrible fiat currencies it can go up that way but it's not that easy for dollar terms. Basically it HAS TO go up and down to create a market and it would only make sense that way.

[bittraffic]

It's the same as stock exchange alright. If BTC goes zero, your 0.01 BTC for example will also go zero. That's what it is.
It's just hard to believe it could go zero because BTC started its price with ZERO, unless there is no one else using BTC anymore which could plummet its price down that state.

You will need to consider that BTC isn't the kind of stock/shares you regularly know that is owned by a company. Nobody owns a company called BTC, it is just codes and a program that makes computer systems solve problems to earn Bitcoin which its maximum supply is 21M. Not everyone in the world will have 0.01BTC.

Take a look at the spike Bitcoin has experienced recently, including the price it is trading at today. The higher the traded value, the more the value of your asset increases, but when the price falls, you still have the same amount of assets when you first bought it, but the value decreases following the flow of trading in the market. If you have never invested in Bitcoin before, start learning how to make safe investments and prevent all risks.

[Sorryfor]

You can invest your money in Bitcoin if you want. Bitcoin is more popular than other coins in the cryptocurrency market. Currently its price has reached 66000$. You said you currently have $250. Yes you can wait for the right time to invest And investing is your personal matter. That's why you should start researching yourself about investing first. Then you will understand which process will actually work best for you and when you can do it. Then you can start investing with small funds towards the beginning. So if you benefit from this then your confidence will increase and you will be interested in investing. And even if there is a loss, don't be disappointed, stick to it, success will come one day.

Yes recent bitcoin price is increasing a lot especially since the month of October 2023 Bitcoin price is continuously increasing. You can start investing in your bitcoins with any amount you want it's totally up to you whether you want to invest or not. The dollar amount you mentioned is not low but recently bitcoin price has increased much more than before so if you had invested earlier you would have got a small profit from here. Also if you start with $250 in Bitcoins at the beginning and it gradually adds up to your Bitcoin dollars every week or month then this is another important investment method for you.

I don't understand what you mean by bitcoin shares, but make sure you are not buying or investing in bitcoin in the futures market, buying bitcoin from the futures market simply means that you will lose all your money if the price of bitcoin goes down, if your position is "Long", or goes up, if your position is "Short".

What you have to do is buy bitcoin in the spot market market, find a good crypto wallet, a non - custodial wallet where you are solely responsible for your wallet keys.
Now head over the exchange where you bought the bitcoin and withdraw it to your private wallet you created, and hold your bitocins there, this way, rest assured that, even if the price of bitcoin goes to zero, you will always have your bitcoin to sell at any time the price goes back up and meets or reaches your selling price target.

And so you know, the price of bitcoin is never going to zero by the way, I just used that above as an example, we are in a bull run and the price of bitcoin will only go up and up, with some minor corrections from time to time.

Bitcoin is a cryptocurrency and stocks are shared by a certain company meaning owning a small portion of that company or something like that, the main difference between the two is the volatile market price of its shares. Since Bitcoin has a volatile market price and the stock market has a very slow market price and doesn't have a twenty-four-seven market, unlike Bitcoin where you could trade anytime.

If you're going to invest on eToro most of it are shares so you could buy stock out there, but they also offer Bitcoin there, I guess the best thing on their platform is you could copy something trader trades, there are a lot of traders there that has high profit, I think you could see that on there profit most of there trades meaning you know if that trader lose a trade, I have a friend who does copy trading on eToro and he didn't really need to do anything at all since he could just copy trade other traders trade.

To answer your question, If you buy like for example 1 Bitcoin it is always going to be 1 Bitcoin whenever the market price increases or drops, the value of 1 Bitcoin when converted to fiat money is the one that is gonna be affected, so for your if you buy 250$ worth of Bitcoin then the market price drops you're going to lose its value but it would not really matter if you're not going to sell because it is still 1 Bitcoin when the market price increase again the value might be back to 250$ again. So yes it doesn't have a huge difference when you buy stocks you could still keep your 1 Bitcoin even though it has zero value. Bassically you're not going to lose money unless you're going to sell your Bitcoin or your shares, as long as you buy low and sell high your going to make a profit on it.

I just wonder, since im completely new to the stock exchange

This is not stock exchange but this is cryptocurrency market.

If I invest 250 dollars, can I loose them if the price goes down? Or do I still hold my share.

You still have it and just have to hold it until its back to its the same value or more. You only lose if you're going to sell at losses and that's what you have to remember. Whether you trade in centralized exchanges, or with the etfs or decentralized exchanges.

As long as you won't sell and it is projecting you lost value, you still have the chance to recover with that.

BTC fluctuates and then there are transaction fees, so sometimes we may get a lesser money from what we use to buy a BTC but we shouldn't worry especially if we are here to invest/HODL, as it can only recover and can give us a good amounts of profit soon. It is possible to receive a warning if the price will go up or down because we have news that covers this and then we have software/tools and websites like this forum that always speculates the crypto movements.

Bitcoin shares on the other hand, must be the same with Bitcoin because we are talking about Bitcoin here, not any other company but it's just that someone might HODL it for us which can be and advantage or disadvantage depending on our personality.
