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

[gerXhonza]

Bitcoin is not a good investment. It might be a fine gamble, but it's purely speculative. An investment would be better served in a business that generates a profit. That's what causes stock prices to go up, businesses becoming more profitable as they grow. Bitcoin becomes more valuable if more people think it's more valuable than before. It's very arbitrary, and arbitrary is not what you should be looking for in your investments.

It is true what you say, but basically the bitcoin appeared to give an advantage to us, so if we have a good enough money then it would be better used for investment in the bitcoin. because the price of the bitcoin is unstable and it can be used very well when we want to do it

1 btc is always a good amount to have in our wallet, but I won't prefer to simply hold it for long term but if I have 1 btc then I will start trading altcoins with it to take my volume of coins to higher level.

Trading is other thing but here OP is trying to know about the reliability of bitcoin and for him I will say that yes he can trust on bitcoin for more longer bitcoin is a reliable currency and not only for 1 year but he can keep his coin for even more longer and the more OP will wait the more he will get the chance of profit.

Yeah as a users of bitcoin we should have faith in its potential and credibility, and price will rise in long run so its a good decision to buy 1 btc and save it for future.

How safe is it?

It is not safe at all as we can't predict what price there will be in future, we can just predict, and i personally think that price will rise as more people buys bitcoins

Yeah if adoption goes to higher level in future then it will have positive impact on the price of bitcoin and at a moment the users of bitcoin are increasing so I think we can afford to take risk to buy 1 btc.

you are right that bitcoin adoption are going to higher level and people going to buy bitcoin day by day and then hold it for high price because they surely know that price will be go to high value and bitcoin price is really going to higher value each day.

agree I think that bitcoin in each year would be developed and every year certainly adopter will be mined by increasing the development bitcoin users from all sides would occur. adopter is the key to all of evolution so I'm sure bitcoin will have a high price in the future because bitcoin is always evolving

Yeah and we are witnessing higher price every year and we can expect the same from coming years too, so I don't think there is anything wrong in investing in bitcoin at a moment.

The streak of bitcoin being "reliable" is extremely short, only a matter of a few months. Prior to the previous halving, bitcoin's entire history was one of extreme volatility and a complete lack of stability. We're still too close to that instability to view the present as anything other than an exception to the rule, not the new normal.

I think fluctuation will always occur on bitcoin, yeah invest in bitcoin could never be said to be safe. although the current price is stable does not mean you'll be safe, it is possible that the price movement becomes volatile and you could lose money. to invest in bitcoin you should be ready with all the risks that exist

what if you do not have 1 BTC. is it you're going to buy it now or wait until prices come back down? but I think that the current price is not too high? You can buy it now

if i had that much money right now i would definitely hold it all right now so i would make some money

1 BTC is not much money to hold for your long term investment, you might have to consider add that amount if we are talking of long term investment as when the value of bitcoin will appreciate in the future you will not enjoy a bigger profits, do no waste the opportunity to invest and be a more risk taker.

How safe is it?

It is safe to do but I do not think that you are going to make much money with them because one Bitcoin is not worth that much.
If you buy more bitcoin the n you can also make more money.

Always safe mate as we are not gambling our money, but if you are really thinking that bitcoin will give you a good future then 1 BTC will not take you anywhere, maybe you should risk more because once the value of bitcoin increases time will come it will be stable and we will no longer make money from price increase.

[andyste]

this low capital money is not good long term trade
long time is hold because is profit is low, example wait 3month only incrase 100dollar you can only profit 100dollar

if in day trade, shortem trade every take profit and compound so profit can maximal

[EXPmarianne]

Don't be afraid to make an investment in bitcoin because at the end of the day, you'll have the chance to earn a lot from it.

It will take long time for bitcoin to get stable and it will not happen so soon, but yes if we have more number of coins then we can make higher profits from it in future.

You're right,  1 bitcoin today could be worth thousands of dollars 10 years from now. Imagine the price of bitcoin 6 years ago, on June 2010  1 BTC = 0.07 USD.

Its just a matter of time, and we are still regretting that we didn't buy at that time or else we would have been super rich by now, but in future price will be much higher then current price.

I think so too. Investing in Bitcoin's never too late. This is a good choice for long-term investment

Yes I think its always a good to buy bitcoin if its an long term investment for you and in that case you can afford to buy at any price and save them for future.

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.

Everyone is expecting higher price in future and in that case I think this is good price to buy bitcoins and if you can manage to buy more then 1 btc then it will benefit you more in future.

of course everyone is expecting higher prices in the future, but most people do not choose just buy bitcoin for the long term. because I think it's not a good idea to make money. because why? because most people prefer to grow their bitcoin to continue to grow more and over time they not only hold, they also grow. so when in the future they have many bitcoin. well, this is the best way to do everybody. not only hold and wait for the future.

Yeah its always better to grow them instead of keeping them idle in wallet as it will never increase the number of your coins, so its better to trade with them and multiply over a period of time.

Re: topic

Yes.
After all this consolidation following the huge drop from nearly $800, I'd be surprised if we didn't get some nice upwards movement.

[praprata]

Long term investing is mostly good but right now its not the best thing you can do due to the fact that investing in long terms can be expensive now.
I would wait a bit longer to be honest.
