Your Bitcoins never vanish unless you have them on a private key and lose it somehow. If you store them on a microwallet or any faucet they may run away with but they are still there. The price of bitcoins has nothing to do with that even if 1 bitcoin goes back to 1$.
So yes, you can just store them forever as long as bitcoin in general exists no matter the price.

You don't understand how this works man. Okay for that 100$ you will get 0.02344 BTC at a current price. Now if BTC price drops you still still have that 0.02344. Let's say price is 3000$. You now have 70$. Let's say you wait 1 year and price of Bitcoin is 12,000$, you still have 0.02344 BTC but now it's worth 281$ |

don't trade bitcoin, it's not that easy to make money with simple trading on bitcoin, it's better if i can suggest, to buy shitcoin and wait for the pump and dump and repeat with another one, the profit is much higher than trading with bitcoin if you choose the correct altcoin, because they can be pumped 100x |

You buy and sell when you want... nobody will force you to do anything. Bitcoin is like any other commodity or currency you buy.. you make your own decisions. I am glad to see that you grasp the concept that you do not have to buy 1 full bitcoin. Some newbie users seem to think that you have to buy a whole bitcoin and then they drop the idea because they think that they cannot afford it. Good luck .... you just went down the rabbit hole.  |

Bitcoin is like stocks really, you need to be patient until the price changes to your demands, but no one actually can predict the value of bitcoin so be careful

Ok, so i bought a 100 dollars of bitcoin at coinbase so for the price it was ($4275) when i bought it i got .02239684
so basically if the bitcoin price goes to $8550 i would have an estimate of $200 for the bitcoins i have
so all i have to do is wait till the price goes real high and sell them if i feel like it?

Yeah your btc stil remains the same amount you had in your wallet but value depends. Changes may happen periodically as the market goes up and down.
You understand it correctly but need to learn more.

your bitcoin will just be there mate its just the value for converting it to fiat that will change but if you already bought bitcoin and let it stay inside your wallet time can tell if the value rise up to 1M $ so you can think if how much will be the worth of your bitcoin holdings. |

Pretty simple. You buy some BTC for 100USD and put those in your own wallet. There yout BTC is safe and you hold the private keys for those coins! As long as you don't participate in trading on an exchange or sell your coins to other persons in private while the price starts to decrease, you don't make any loss! As long as you don't sale you don't make any losses! So yes you can just hold for one year and hope the price will be higher than you have bought. Many people do so. So don't worry. But nobody can predict the future. Maybe the coins will be worth less at that time. In that case you may hold a bit longer and just wait until the price starts to rise again and you're above your bought price and sell then. |

That is correct. Since you already bough, main thing to do now i not to shit yourself and sell when price goes down, and it may go down. That is where most of newbies lose money, they sell for less than they bought because they are impatient and can't wait till the price goes back up |

You probably made a right decission if you invested 100$ now, but for your question to hold the bitcoin is definitely the right thing to do OP. If you wish to leave it there, you can but be carefull to store your private key. |

No bitcoins is not like stocks because if we buy bitcoins and hold for long time just like couples years later, it will not gives dividen like stocks, we just can get the profit from increasing of bitcoins price, bitcoins is more like gold can be mined and has limited numbers, price of bitcoins will be more expensive in the future so it is just can be traded on the market ( trading altcoins or bitcoins to fiat). |

This is a very basic question but some Bitcoin holders might have been wondering the same thing for a while until someone told them that their Bitcoin will remain the same but it is only the value that can go down and up. It is just like buying a real gold, over time it will not diminish in terms of grams but its value might go up or down. And Bitcoin being the digital gold then it is the same analogy we have here.

Right, for business, waiting is the job that you need to accept. However, if you only invest $ 100, it is not worth your time in a year to get a profit. |

Bitcoin is just like gold that you can hold despite of its price and even after many years you will have same amount of gold but its value might skyrocket. Same goes for bitcoin, because bitcoin is digital gold. However you have to be quite careful when storing your bitcoin for long term, use either paper wallet printed from offline printer/computer or hardware wallet to store your bitcoin for years. |

Haha if you can take advantage some opportunity when the market recovery like early this year, you still can get rich with this small money. I have some friends become to millionaire after one year with $10 in first time. |

Good question. No, you will not lose your Bitcoin. You keep the same amount of Bitcoin as always, but the value will be less. Then you can wait for the value to rise again to get your money back. |

If the Bitcoin price go down, your investment value decrease. You will not lose the Bitcoin.
You can keep your Bitcoin as long as you want and sell at a higher price than the price you buy it for. In this case, you gain some profit. Remember to keep your Bitcoin in a secure wallet. Good luck.
