Initial Investment Amount

[erickkyut]

Hello Bitcoin users! So i've decided to pull the trigger and set myself a coinbase account to start investing in Bitcoin and other cryptocurrency. I'm excited explore this new finance endeavor and by doing so I would like to get some initial knowledge. Everyone is welcome to chime in on this but what are you guys' opinion for someone like me starting out would be an ideal amount of investment.

I know for the most part majority will probably advise to start on what I'm comfortable with however I'm mainly looking for an ideal quantifiable range based on how much is Bitcoin is going for or other cryptocurreny for that matter. What's too little and what's too much for someone whose in the beginning stages of investing. Thank you.

It depends on your goal. If your goal is for a short term income, of course you will be needing a big capital because you achieve your goal in short term if you will start with a small one. If your goal is for long term, you can start small but I high suggest that you will be consistently adding additonal investments because the market is very volatile. And always remember that you will invest only what you can afford to lose!

my advice you should try with a small amount ,, especially if you are a beginner ,, better learn and understand first about bitcoin ,,, but if you are ready to accept the risk ,, then ,, yes please any price will invest ,, your own aan accept the result ,,, I say "good luck"

I can not tell you the value of your initial investment, what I can tell you is the the value of my initial investment. I started with bitcoin in January 2016, when the price of bitcoin was some 400 USD. I have bought then from eBay with 30-40 USD each 4 coupons of 100 GHs each. I sold them one month latter and all the bitcoin that I've got was around 0.16  Thus I invested 120 USD and got some 80 USD in return. This was very good and I accepetd the 40 USD lost from the initial investment.
 My advice for you would be to invest between 100-200 USD in bitcoin. I do not know which country do you belong from, for some people 100-200 USD is a big sum of money.

Actually there's no initial amount of investments in Bitcoins. It's all up to you. Like the higher ranks suggested "Don't invest more than you can afford to lose" I always keep that in mind. Investments is not a priority to do unless you know 100% what's your doing.

[SUDARMONO]

if you aim to invest in bitcoin it is the right choice for you, you can invest as much as you can to make the first investment, and you while understanding bitcoin world and trading, if you hard to understand and get the result you can add more your investment amount, so you can feel bigger and more satisfying results.

First you have to ask yourself.
1. what is my goal in bitcoin?
2. How much money do i have?
3. How much money i am willing to risk for investment?
4. Am i ready for this? If yes then go on!
One more thing, only invest what you can afford to lose

If you want to be able to sleep well at night you should invest only money you are sure you will not need. I think that is the better thing to do. BUT personally I would go full btc.

For me, just try to invest the amount that is enough to loss if ever you will loss in the business and then if will be successful then invest more. Try to learn first and determined carefully before going into investment program so that you can be successful in it.

I think Bitcoin is still money in a sense if you can surely convert it if you would need it, but I guess if it only matter depending if your country have that kind of feature where you can surely use bitcoin directly of you can cash out bitcoin to fiat anytime then I think you can surely do a full BTC on all of your fiat money.

First don't invest money you can't afford to lose, we know bitcoin is not gambling but you if you may need that money for something important, the bitcoin price fluctuate so much you can lose some money at the time of need.

[BrewMaster]

there really isn't any "ideal investment range" for anyone. it depends on how much money you own and how ambitious you are. you may be well satisfied with a couple of hundred dollar each month or you may want a couple of thousands.
and you can do both in this market.

as a started i suggest at least a couple of hindered dollar more if you can afford it and buy bitcoin with it.
then if you wanted start trading both bitcoin and altcoins with a small portion of what you already bought and work from there.

[Adbitco]

There's no ideal amount of investment in my opinion it depends upon how much money you have and how much you can easily invest. Since you are new to all of this I would advise you not to make a big investment but buy bitcoins or ethereum, litecoin etc in small amounts at regular intervals especially during dips this way you will not only be safe from running a risk of losing all of your money but also get to learn and understand how bitcoin, eth, ltc, behave in different market conditions which will be quite helpful for you for future investments.

[Palmerson]

Investments can start with any amount. The higher the investment the more will be your income, but also higher risk. You should always be able to feel the very brink of when the risk exceeds reasonable limits. If you have no experience in investing it is best to start for free in demo mode. On exchanges there's always the possibility.

[iram3130]

Invest only what you're afford to lose. I would suggest to earn them if you can't. If you can then buy 1 Bitcoin and diversify at least 0.5 Bitcoin in altcoins and ICO's. If you can then better to buy coins which have platform independent and those which have their own blockchain.

[Prodigan786]

I could recommend you can invest the money which is not effecting day to day life or the money you kept it as long term saving then bitcoin or crypto currency is the best place to invest . I could recommend long term profit better than short term trading.

There is no too little or too much initial investment in my opinion. You're an adult, and what you do with your money is nobody's business. If you're wary, which you would be wise to be, then just put in money you can afford to lose. If you like the upward trend, then maybe put in a little more. Just make sure you'd be happy about your decision at the end of the day. Good luck to you!

It depends on what you can invest. If you have a normal 9-5 job I would reccomend 1-200 a check if you can. it will bump you at this current moment somewhere between .02 and .03 each time landing you with 1 bitcoin relatively quickly especially if you chooses a service that accrues interest.

The ideal initial amount is 0 (zero), you earn some coins in airdrops, giveaways or doing some simple tasks online and then you build your portfolio from there.

That's how you really learn to navigate in bitcoinland.

If you have enough money to invest, money your can afford to lose, then just buy bitcoin every month, sit on it, and in a few years you'll have a nice sum of money.

Thanks for the response. What are airdrops? and what examples of giveaways and where to source them?

Follow these 2 sections:

Announcements (Altcoins) https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=159.0

Games and rounds https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=71.0

Search for topics with 'Giveaway' and 'Airdrop' in them, if you don't immediately qualify for them, plan for the future.

Also search for bounties in altcoin announcements and check if you can do any of them.

Some of these don't worth your time, some do.

Careful installing new software on your computer like new altcoin wallets, they may have malware, improve your opsec.

Good luck.
