How do I educate myself on bitcoin for investing?

[shield132]

While this thread is created here, I think you mean investment in trading. There are many books to read especially if you are newbie, for example in investing, this book is great to read: "The Essays of Warren Buffett: Lessons For Corporate America" (1997) by Warren Buffett" and for stock trading, I suggest you to read "Reminiscences of a Stock Operator" and for trading - "Reminiscences of a Stock Operator by Edwin Lefèvre". That books will give you very good experience and remember, best investor and trader is active reader.

The subject says it all, what books, resources and other things can I study so that I can make an educated decision.

I want to invest, but have no idea where to start and need to learn more about bitcoin and cryptocurrency in general before taking the plunge.

you should try. because without trying you will not get a valuable experience. I am sure when you dare to take an action, then you will know what you will get. it is a very easy and quick to understand.

Without taking risk in trading you cant earn any profits or bits from it. I do agree on you you should try and learn because without doing it because you are scared then you cant earn any because when it comes to trading experience is must well the trick is invest small then try to learn from it so that next time you invest you will know what is the right move

It would be helpful if OP will state on what kind of investment is he interested. There are currently many investments you can do

now with bitcoin as well as the other cryptocurrencies but not all of them are legit and is proved profitable. Since your a newbie,

Just invest on bitcoin if you have a large capital if not invest on some top altcoin. You can also do some trading with the portion of

you money because it would be truly helpful to know about trading if you're planning to pursue investing on cryptos.

but it is more risky that if you do not have any experience about trading. because trading mostly based on knowledge and experience. so you first need to get experience in trading and you can get experience by investing a very small amount of your bitcoin in trading and when become an experience trader then you can invest a large amount of bitcoin in trading.

Experience and knwoledge matters in trading, however you also need dicsipline. Ofcourse, if you are greedy to put your money at stake in trading or investing, it'll cost you to be in a risk. Also I just want to add, trading and investing are different. Investing is when you put your money for a long term(market based). Trading can be don in long term or short term(currency based).

If you want to get scammed very fast go for ICO and alternative cryptocurrencies education hassle, if you want to play smart and grab an extraordinary opportunity then just sell everything you've got in your life and buy bitcoins with all of it.
6 months from now you will say thanks to me.

To learning about the market movement and you won't get a heart attack if the price was dropping for a lot. starting with lowest amount is recommended although if you have more money to invest more on your trade.

terrible advice!
no matter how good an investment may look or even actually be good, you should never invest more than you can afford to lose.
we all know bitcoin is a good investment and with a good future and lots of profit. but you can't be ignorant enough to overlook the risks.
and risks are not just about risk of price falling. there is also risk of losing the private keys, it can be hardware failure, misplacing your cold storage paper wallet, and theft.

I agree you will need to read lots of books and trading forum threads here, probably trading scams too to avoid been swindled and at the end of the day experience is the best teacher. And you need to keep up with Current affairs affecting cryptocurrencies politically and economically.

No books can teach you and believe me that asking people and investing in coins that people suggest is just like loosing money knowingly, while I was new I used to chat in sites (example poloniex) and there guys suggested me to buy some shit coins. Maybe for personal interest.
You will earn trading with time and one thing to always keep in mind is invest on the good liquidity coins always.

it's easily possible to do good with ico actually, when you buy at the entry price, it's very hard to be dumped right away when it hit the exchange

after the coin hit the exchange there is in most case a small pump of 2x, just dump your coin there and take your profit

alternative crypto is currently the only way to acquire(without buying) a big amount of bitcoins with low risk, hyip and cloud mining are instead a giant scam

[xuan87]

There is no book that can teach you where to invest, you need to do your own research and you need to find the background company, the traffic and the most important is the review from a trusted member, finding a good place to invest in bitcoin is a very hard task, but I will suggest you to invest in casino, it got less risk than other place to invest

Yes its possible on making money with ICO's but now i think it would be hard on selecting a good one because there are lots of scam icos which we should really be careful on selecting one and if we chose the right one then we should be wise on how to secure profits and if a success then just repeat it again and again.

but actually we can determine for ourselve on what is the coin who got more potential and who is scam since mostly of scam coins doesn't want used escrow,unclear roadmap and future development plans to their coins but we should do some good research before we can see this potential coin that can surely make us earn some profits in the right time, the perfect example for that is the ICN coin where people are so lucky if they hodl their coins and doesn't drop their coins when price is down and waiting for divedend to be happen.

For taking the experience your method is worthy anyone can know about different strategies with that method but almost all of the knowledge is not achieved with that method so for getting complete knowledge he must have to take the education from an expert person. He can find an expert in his own area or on this forum. It will be more better if he also pay some fees to the teacher.

Simply, how did you start going to school?
How did you learn computer?
We all started with zero knowledge and the key for us to learn new things is to observe, be conscious, ask questions, learn to study alone, do research and to take a risk. Those simple steps that apply in any aspect that we wanted to start.

It is probably better to rely on information contained in such material rather than relying on any advice you see on forums or social networks. However, it is important to remember that although the fundamentals of the market remain the same, there are always changes regarding the different assets that you can trade in the market, and with regard to the supply-demand ratio, so it is necessary to make good use of the Internet to keep up to date with regard to the events that make it happen.

He should seek in different ways by his own if he really wants to learn, don't rely in any social networks but they can be a big help in decision making, also, he should learn the basic economic substance the demand and supply and how it works and how important it is in every market, and most of all the guts that he will always bring every time he will do investing.

You got it wrong, he meant he want to learn about crypto currency and its trading as you can see this from the main post.

Anyways Warren doesn't trade with BTC yet as far as I know and hence the best books or e-books to read for btc investment and knowledge can be searched on google. I am doing trading since quite sometime now but I never felt I need any book at all.

While it is right that we learn from our experiences and wins and losses but actually I have been trading since 6 months or more and almost like lost 1 bitcoins plus in these alt coins trading while I am yet to understand how to spot a good coin. I just see the hype created by them get tempted and buy the coins. A classic example is ICONOMI coins.
