Investment amount

[KEPLER99]

Investment is Risky activity so before you start to trade, make you own realistic capital.
For me, I'm usually invest 20% from my main salary to trade mostly bitcoin

Overall I can make some profit by holding my Bitcoin over 4 years

yeah. investment activity online are totally risky if you dont know who/where/when this investment is. so quiet move if you make a realistic capital to join on some investment project you want to join. like in bitcoin, dont invest too much if you cant afford to loose, like what folks say

For me, I'm usually invest 20% from my main salary to trade mostly bitcoin
Overall I can make some profit by holding my Bitcoin over 4 years

he tooks 20% of his main monthly salary to trade in bitcoin (thats a realistic capital, i thought), afterward he holding bitcoin for almost 4 years to earn profits. thats a smart idea i think.

That is really clever of him. The guaranteed way of becoming rich by bitcoin is simply holding this currency for long and keep on investing in it with time. This won’t be difficult as compare to buying big amount of bitcoin at one time. It is the best investment tool and the future of this digital asset is brighter and shinier than any diamond of the world. If someone cares about his future, he must go for bitcoin.

that's right, holding for the long term is indeed a clever way of making profits on bitcoin investment. Many are investing continuously in bitcoin and it is the investment opportunity of the moment that is getting us into a brighter future.

I am in very much favor of holding of bitcoin and that too for as long period of time as you can. The only thing you need to have is that you need to be patient and control your nerves. As far as investment amount is concerned, it all depends on how much amount of money you can actually afford investing in any kind of business. Go with the small amount of investment in the start and then increase the amount of investment gradually.

Either to be honest. I just don't want to put in 100 a month to wake up 1 morning to find rates have massively dropped

If that's going to cause you sadness then you shouldn't put a penny in. It could happen at any moment. People who put money in at the end of 2013 had to wait over three years to break even. There's a lot of risk however you want to look at it. Everyone here's taking it and that's why the rewards are potentially very high or non existent.

Yeah, time will tell at always. Noone is a genius without luck in my opinion. You could be smart but that's not all. Don't spend pennies when you have dollars , and of course don't spend dollars when you only have pennies. Don't invest money that you couldn't efford to lose.

My investment advice is always buy what you can afford to lose but deep down I want to tell you to sell everything you have and put it into BTC. Only if you are comfortable doing it though.

Honestly, it is really easy to say buy what you can afford to lose but man! The situation can be very tempting. Sometimes, it just takes a huge leap of faith to take some decisions but not without considering the risk involved.

All the above, the way I see bitcoin now, it seems more to me like a great opportunity and the higher the risk you take, the better your chances of getting better in life becomes. After all, life is all about the risk and as long as life goes on if any bullshit happens, then no shit right? ...

Guess I might have to start thinking of going all in, just do what people would not do, that is what makes it fun anyway.

Regardless of the amount of investment we do, I think there is no harm if indeed the amount we invested is still small, yet we don't force ourselves to directly invest with high amount if it does not have enough capital. Well, as a beginner I also do not directly put a big capital on investing.. I do from small first while learning to observe the movement price or price developments, then the longer I will trying to enlarge the amount of my investment that I investing.

Investing amount depends on the amount that you can afford to lose. Cause you can never be sure what future holds and you should be able to make wise decisions. I think  10% to 30% of your savings is good for investment and when you are really into it and get the intuition to invest more then go for it. Life is about experiences and learn from it.

Affordability really matters when you are coming into business word. Bitcoin trading mostly deals with risks and there can be profits for you and on the same level, you may get some big shocks of loss. So it is you who can decide whether to choose any particular trading or not. Because no one can know your own financial status better than you. So do only that can be afford.

50 euros will be enough for a starter but if you are a starter and you have studied the economy and market of bitcoin. $500 - $6,000 would be sufficient if you don't want to miss the chance of earning more. The price gets higher today so any amount will do as you avail it. The only thing that you have to remember when you invest in bitcoin is invest what you afford to lose.

[bitgolden]

Being new to this sector, currently I started with keeping 10% of my investment capital towards Cryptocurrencies and new ICOs.
Most of the investment money is going towards Bitcoin at the moment and very few in altcoins and negligible in ICOs.
I learned many ICO turns scam so kind off hesitating before moving ahead.

It is a good thing at least knowing that no matter what you are good to go which ever ways. 10% is good on a normal day, small for someone like me though as I have always had this huge things for risk and my intuitions has never failed me.

You should be careful with ICOs though by studying some of the projects pretty well, including the team before you move in so you do not end up losing your funds. No matter how small the percentage you are putting into them, it is still something.

[Soranith]

When i first started investing bitcoin I put my $150 saving and bought bitcoin at a price of $800 and bought altcoins now I am on profit but I also had my share of loss not all of my trading are on profit.

If you are putting 100 a month in bitcoin then sudden drop of prices will not be the issue. Even if there occurs a price drop deeper than usual bitcoin will recover in due course and cover those losses. I was referring to the price drop from 4800 dollars to the 3300 dollars few weeks ago. Now bitcoin is at 7100 dollars. Thus even if you decide to put your one week salary or 100 dollars per month is not that bad. In the long run that will give you better results than any other crypto.
With crypto it is very dangerous to have the long term relation. They are good for quick money but in long run it is bitcoin and bitcoin only.

[zeze18]

Actually this is a good time to invest bitcoin, but because I have an urgent need and maybe not much can be invested in bitcoin and I certainly do not want to miss this exact moment to take a little advantage of this opportunity.

if I was better to give advice to you first wrote, better yes, if the investment is not much, if you are still a beginner. because the beginner is also not yet know the flow of investment how. so it's better to invest a little bit first, and later on if you can get a new big investment it does not matter.

I really dont have enough knowledge about investing on how to buy shares in an particular campaign or ico. I hope i will learn it as soon as possible so that instead of keep posting i will give my money to be doubled up.

[Borestabber]

How much would you make as first amount? I was thinking  £50 bit even if this times by even 10 that's only 500.

Would 300 be a more realistic start

It depends on you. How much money can you risk for an investment? No matter how big or small you invest into something, there is always a risk. If you can't take the risk then start with a small amount of money, but always remember that the riskier it is the more you will earn from it. So yeah, the decision is all yours anyway.

well an investment amount is really depend on how much money you can afford to loose to prevent nervous breakdown .i think we really need to make a limit in investing because we cant predict on the next moving of the price wethier it is goin to rise or to fall down.i believe  that being patience  is really a must if we do investing people really dont have patience that is why they loose.

No one will definitely lose money no matter how small and not really get pissed off at a point. However, there are sometimes you just do not have to be greedy in an investment and most especially if it is still not fully approved yet. Anything can happen, we might be optimistic but as long as we know that anything can happen negatively should be enough to drive us on the decision and the risk we are willing to take.

The thing is, it all depends on how much money you have left over to invest in bitcoin because if you really believe in bitcoin i think that getting a lot of bitcoin is a pretty good option. Because the value of the bitcoin will keep rising.

[khaled0111]

The golden rule that traders follow is :"Never invest money you cannot afford to lose."
You didn't give us sufficient details about your plans and where will be your investment, thus it will be impossible to advice you about how many you should invest.
Just don't put all the eggs in one basket and try to invest your money in different projects.

[Sled]

I don't think that you need to mind the starting investment that you will make because the best strategy in investing is doing it regularly and that will give you profit for sure and not just one shot big shot. If you really want to get the best result then do it regularly and for long term and that will give you a lot of returns after a few years of holding the crypto that you have been invested.

[Benabod]

I am really willing to invest big into bitcoin

[nethan1btc]

Each of us have our own prerogative thoughts which we think if it can be good for us. As we become part on this kind of job here in the forum we want have a great amount of money as it may lead on our profit income. Also, as we want to have an instant huge amount we want to invest like on different ICO project which we think it can benefit and might be demand in our society. Well, on my part I will do to invest whatever it takes it just the game win or lose. Hopefully I can have a great amount of profit as I just hold some of my shares.

Most people dont have much money as "left over" after calculating their savings and expenses. The ones who invest in crypto either have a lot of money at hand or are willing to convert their majority of savings into crypto for future returns. Simply believing the price rise in bitcoin does not affect the market much. You need to cash out money and then cash in during the pump cycles.

I am really willing to invest big into bitcoin

Dont invest "big". Invest what you can afford to lose. Dont end up getting into a debt to invest in bitcoin.

[Usafstar]

I would like to start from $50,000 now because i have already some of the bitcoin and this is not bad to wait for the future i want to start from this amount for now and if i have some more money in the future i will invest in some altcoin as well but i want to start from this little amount So it may clear to me about the profit and other volatility of this currency.
