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

[lolgato]

Hmm it's a pretty safe investment buying bitcoins now it might even rise later.

Yep it is pretty safe we can all admit but things can happen too It's great if you can buy bitcoins at 440 now because price is stable at 450 at the moment

[agustina2]

For more convenience to anyone who wants to buy today and still confused, look at the today's volume and see how many performing buy at the current price today.

I think you could try buying one. Months ago people were asking the same when the price was $300 and now it's $100 more. Maybe next month it will be another 50 or 100 up.

Yes it would be a smart move to buy one Bitcoin as a long term investment because now it has crossed $450 mark and may be in January it could reach $550 I wish I could have but one more when it was around $300.

[Lucius]

Buy BTC as a long-term investment is always a good idea, especially if you have a few extra bucks on the side and if you believe that BTC will one day be worth a lot more than it is today

[Zaun]

For just one bitcoin I think is a good idea to do if you are buying more bitcoins that no.
With one bitcoin it is really saf, because when you feel is going down than sell it.

If you wanted to make the most profit, you should have bought at the start of Bitcoin. But I think it is still a good investment even if you buy now.

If we were all to follow that notion, there would be noone to buy it now and support current price. In the beginning the low price was justified because there
was little buy support, and no acceptance, and as we grew and those numbers increased, so did the price.
If one is to look at price vs relative value , i think it's safe to say that currently it's worth this price, and to those who are thinking longterm, it's even better of a deal.

I know that. What I am trying to say is that, if he wanted to make the most profit, he should have invested at the start of Bitcoin. Of course we need people to invest now, that's why I said it is still a good investment. I think you misinterpreted what I said.

[expert4knowledge]

I think it is good investment and bitcoin woke up after a rather long asleep and it seems that it increases but never do not invest all your money in one good, industry...

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.

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.

When we as a company need to buy or sell bitcoins, we do it in a way that is similar to dollar cost averaging:

We would recommend this approach for anyone who is wanting to invest for the long term as it smooths out short term price fluctuations.

Bitcoin is a reallt good long term investment to do. Why? Because with bitcoin the price can increase in the future.
Just having 1 bitcoin is the most awesome thing to have. Maybe you can make 1000 dollar profit with it.
The problem now bitcoin is kinda expensive to buy, so just wait a couple of month that it goes down.

why do you think It will go down? Bitcoin are developing a resistance wall at 450 that's really hard to break I think. A couple of months more will be near the halving so I think it will go up

Yeah now the bitcoin is going up and that is good. I know why he said that if you see the new people who is starting to use and know. They will just be afraid to buy that high price. In another side they just can do a signature campaign or some job to earn bitcoin.
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.

[harizen]

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.

[mtnsaa]

I don't feel comfortable buying at this value, but every year Bitcoin price has been increasing so far so you should be ok if you are willing to hold for some time. Also many users here will tell you that with the halving happening next year the price will double in the next upcoming months.
