Is it a good long term investment to buy 1 BTC today?

[Newcoins2020]

This time I think we won see a 200 dollars of bitcoin. I think we will see a 350 dollars but not lower than that.

Based on some recent moves shown by the volumes performed by the bears and bulls, I see no $350 will happen again "if" the current wave will remain the same. It definitely surpass and build the resistance of above $350 in the past weeks. This is really a good sign as we all don't want to back again at that bottom.

Lets just hope that the volumes are right, because seeing bitcoin never in 350 dollars again would be nice to us.
So that I can buy bitcoin now with out a problem, but yeah always just have safety if something happens to it. I wish that next year that the bottom will be at 550 dollars.

$550 bottom. That is nice.

Well looking good. Still at the current price many bulls are entering which meas many are buying even the rate today is far not good at buying by the others. See how optimistic they are.

unless we face a farther increase, which is entirely possible since we are holding quite good current position

at this point i can even call 400-450 as the new bottom

How safe is it?

It depends on what kind of investment you are looking for.  Bitcoin is very volatile but the long term fundamental prospect is very attractive.  Because there is a finite supply of Bitcoin available, unless something catastrophic happens and Bitcoin is replaced by another cryptocurrency that serves the same function, the prospect of Bitcoin increasing in value over time is quite good.  There are also many unknowns.  If you buy a bitcoin now and hold, you are either going to have nothing to show for in 20 years, or it is going to be worth a fortune.  Depends if you are willing to take the risk.

Investment mean is risk and my idea is what you say for 20 years later what will bitcoin, i egree with you and bitcoin investment  is true risk .

Of course it is... Bitcoin has a ton of potential and we should all take this opportunity to make some money out of this.

[Yakamoto]

Bitcoin is definitely a fairly good long term investment , as it currently stands. Even at $450, it is still on the cheaper end of where it could be, and where it has been in the past. It is also showing extreme likelihood for growth, as the halving for the Bitcoin blocks is drawing closer, which will end up decreasing the amount of coins available, which will in turn increase the price.

I, along with most other people on this forum, are fairly confident that we'll be seeing the price increase constantly for a long while.

Remember that Bitcoin is actually a revolution in the economic history of the world. We can't affirm with 100% certainty what will occur with bitcoin in 10 or 20 years. But the entire financial world is plenty of uncertainty, therefore perhaps worth the risk, mate.

[bitcoin-hunter]

Bitcoin is Payments 2.0. You can see how innovation it is compared to othe currency's.

With other words, yes it will grow and grow. There is never a guarantee, but all the odds are in favour of bitcoin.

i think that buying 1 BTC today is certain profit with the halving coming up next year and stuff, you are on to a winner.

Please elaborate on which time perspective. There is a different scenario for every different time frames.

1 week, 1 month, 1 year, 10 years?
1 week > risky
1 month > less risky
1 year > BUY
10 years > STRONG BUY

[ultimatesky]

I bought some bitcoins today and I am already making profit. If you want to earn you have to buy eventually.
My best guess is now.

[znickelbackz]

btc price will drop soon, back to 200-300$/1btc, I think it's better to wait till that day.

You should've bought when the prices were acutally in this range. You are too late to the party now, so better stop hoping you will get such a deal again and just buy in.
It has been in the 200-300 range for more than a year and you failed to buy, why would you buy now in that range? You'll probably be wanting 100-200 dollar coins by then and you end up buying nothing.

why didn't I buy when btc range was 200-300 back there, or 30, or 10?, 'cause I hadn't have money, hadn't known anything 'bout btc except it's name until lately. yes, I'm a newbie. I enter btc world at this rate and that was how I react.
with this investment subject, what a newbie like me can do are doing some research about predictions, theories, what, and why, will the btc price be within next 1 month, 6 months, 1 year, 10 years, ...? why the price is 450$ now? what forces behind? why did they make it like that? what do they want? what will they do next? ... with all that I made up my mind and spoke my opinion.

if you are updated with the news, China's the one who pushes the price up due to its capital control policies which makes its citizens to buy a lot of bitcoin. the price will soon get higher due to the halving I think

the real force behind maybe a small group of dozen of Chinese speculators want to push that up and then boom, sell away tons of btc, make mountains of profits before their Chinese's New Year Eve so that they can enjoy their holidays in heaven. btc price will drop and the speculation roll again.

Is there any source for what you are talking about? I think there are other variables that affect on increasing price.

it's just "rumors", "theories", u know, it maybe really false and ridiculous, someone intentionally spread it, or it maybe turn out to be truly true, that's what it is. There is, and most likely will be, no evidence, those guys left no evidence, rather traps, baits, fake ones.
it's sth we ppl in our region discuss and agree on, based on not much except just few things like history, tradition of those Chinese with what they did with gold, stocks, ...
I can easily put a link here but I won't, 'cause I don't think u can read our language, and it may not strong enough for u to bother.
It's just what I've got, what I believe at this point, I just spoke my opinion, that's all, no big deal.
Nothing is true, everything is permitted.

Disagree. If they want to push or pull it will happen. But now there's no tree shaking or rather I'd say its a roller coaster. Remember the last $500 rally? That is a manipulators move. No decrease in price when that is happen. Today's price is not a rushed. So this is not a whales, groups or any associatoion moves. No manipulation here. It's just that the fact is, many people buy.

I can see u have more exp than me, built up some logic thoughts, and definitely more accurate than me. With more research and enlightenment maybe I will be convinced to believe what u believe, thank u.

Yes buying one Bitcoin today is very beneficial it will come with a better return of investment as halving is coming up next, even I am gonna buy one BTC by January and keep it for as long term investment but it is bit difficult when the value of Bitcoin increases we are tempted to trade it for local currency.

1 week > risky

good analysis  
im not sure buying bitcoin at this moment is high (for 1wek) risk current price $464
and potentially touch the rate of $ 480 this week

so you can get profit +3.3% at this week it's a good way to growing your money

[simplelife888]

There are risk for every investment and for bitcoin too but for me it hasnt risk and for investmen for save oney it is good way to buy bitcoin for future.

If you are tempted to sell when the price is increasing you either are about to make a great profit as you bought sub $200, or you have weak hands. All profits you take right now are nothing more than change. If you manage to find the dedication to hold your coins a few years, then you will look back and think 'glad I didn't sell back then'.

Very good post.
The first 3 make you a trader with a very short to short horizon of keeping the coins.
4 makes you kind of holder although not for long.
And 5 makes you a strong holder.
The longer you plan to keep your coins the more growing and maturing of the infrastructure you will see and being a part of.This of course will be taken into account of Bitcoin's value.

good explanation
Tha's why we should alocate our 1 bitcoin for ten years, yeah for long-term investment
1 week is very risky, but It is pretty much the highest-risk, highest-return investment that you can possibly make, i prefer for 1 month due to it's volatile nature
