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

[diodio5]

1 Bitcoin for 15 years or more i think it's good the price would be so high, just stored 1 bitcoin and create paper wallet then keep it safe, that's what iam doing

yeah certainly not a problem of storing 1 BTC only, for the future.
it is for savings
maybe in 15 years, bitcoin prices could rise to touch $ 2,000

i think $2000 it's very high price but anything can happen
i hope the price stable at $1000
it's enough for me if i can hold 100BTC

2k is recheable after the next halving, and after the next bubble, it may be possible as a new bottom also, but it's hard for this year

yeah agree maybe in next halving in 2020 the price of bitcoin. can rising up to $2000.
it may happen as every year the bitcoin market demand continues to rise

The effect of halving will double the price, but the usefulness of bitcoin can make the price even higher. So in 2020, the price will be at least $10,000.

bitcoin has proven that investments in bitcoin very profitable, you just need to be patient waiting time pump

Not necessarily, because it might show some adverse effects too like miners leaving Bitcoins, which might show reverse reactions to what you are thinking...
This is a probability, but not a guarantee...

No questions asked, just buy when you think the price is low. Speculations about the prise is really has a chance to be true so better you have a saved one.

How safe is it?

If you are looking for a safe heaven to invest, perhaps buying one bitcoins is not the safest investment because there is a great uncertainty about the future of this currency in the long run, but according to the most usual predictions I think it might be worth to take the risk.

Buying 1 bitcoin is a good idea. It is not a large amount for some people. If you lose it, it will not make a difference. If it becomes $1m, it make a big difference.

For some people it is a big amount, as a person who is making all his efforts to earn 1 btc and if he looses it, then it's more than $1m worth to him, but yes buying 1 btc at a moment and keeping it safe for the future would be a right thing.

Going by your logic, gambling is no biggy. Just buy one BTC and put it all on 1000x, would save you the wait.

[fruitcommander]

Totally depends on what would be the value of bitcoin in future, if it reaches $1m then I think that would be the best value to hold, and if the value drops in future then even 100 btc would not be enough to prove as an good investment.

[bit1]

Go for one now is a bet that if you lost should not affect drastically your economy, otherwise the more time you spend more money to lose, I mean if it goes very high it could be really a bad idea try of buy it after. But watch we are talking about only 1 BTC, no more and on this levels. $380 just now no more no less. some peoples they bought with a less digit, they had luck, the rest only the time will say. It is a risk of each one. 

[ThunderThomas]

If you believe in bitcoin you should buy more then 1 bitcon. But yes suppose you are a little bit sceptic.
Then 1 bitcoin is enough to profit.

Buying just 1 bitcoin won't make you rich or poor, so you can go ahead and get it. You never know if it won't get to 10.000$.

Exactly as we are not aware about the value of bitcoins in future we cannot be sure what exact amount should we hold, 1 btc is good amount to hold at a moment, and do not wait too long, if you are making profits in short term then just sell it off.

If the bitcoin community can reach consensus on many fronts and the bitcoin is developed continuously, the price will not go to zero.

the price won't go to zero at all. the block size drama is just something we have to fight ourself through this year. if there is a solution/agreement this year, then the price will get a massive boost. if not, then the price will most likely just be block halving driven the comming months.

[diegz]

Yes it is, we must start to buy now as we can still afford it, or start working on saving few of it  coz no one knows when it will start to  get out of its roller coaster price and start to build a high price..

How safe is it?

Out of curiosity, I checked the price of BTC on the day of writing this post - October 9, 2015 = $244
Investing in Bitcoin is still not safe, but let this difference will answer for itself..
$376- $244 = $132

[romero121]

Now if you buy, at the present situation also you will be getting profit. The price is low to buy, soon there may be increase in price as most are expecting for halving to occur earlier this time

The price has risen over 50% in the last 6 months. I think the bitcoin price performance is quite good.

Good. This might help someone who has doubt. And take note that $132 increase in 6 months is not fixed so some people take profit when big rally to $500 happened then keep coming back again at the rate of $400 to around $480 and plays in that level.
