[Jhayden031012]

I have read a lot of articles about BTC however i am still indoubt if i will start investing. Can someone explain to me much further on how BTC works?

Thank you so much guys!

If U read a lot of articles please ask more specific questions. The global question "how does bitcoin work" will not cause anything other than links to articles you've probably read

It's relatively safe. If you look at the graphs if its value, you'd see that it hasn't really stopped growing, and this is pretty much just the beginning. There's still a very real possibility that you'd lose all your money though, so start off with a small investment, then double up once you have the hang of it.

In simple terms? We have a limited supply of 21 million, and more investors are coming each day, do the math.

[Serjosvejo]

It's safe if you just buy a lot and forget at least for one year. And mind you bussiness after that! IMHO

You said you have already read a lot about bitcoin. Can you specify what exactly did you not understand on how bitcoin works? Just so we know specifically what you don't understand.

To simply answer your question, if you still doubt bitcoin after reading a lot, then simply don't invest in it. No one is forcing you to. At least you're doing the right thing by not investing just because everyone is investing.

investing in anything is a risk,  only put in what you're willing to lose. Bitcoin is safe but anything can happen keep that in mind

Its very safe. Problem is no computer system/program in the world is 100% secure.
Bitcoin is resillent, because it can be quickly fixed if needed.

I totally agree, investing is really a risky thing.  The only question is, are you willing to risk and how much risk can you tolerate.  Well, bitcoin it not an exception. At the current situation, bitcoin earning potential is high so the risk is high.

bitcoin is a valuable coin but it is not a gold or dola currency but its value is so much gold at the moment i write this it is priced at $ 5600 but its price will also Fluctuating like gold or dola. The path of bitcoin is to generate a bitcoin every year and by 2140 it will release all 21 million coin because of its high security, so the holder of the private key will have all the coins. In addition, bitcoin is also the main coin to exchange with other coin on the exchange

I always tell people thinking about investing the same thing.  Only put in the money you can afford to lose.  And once you put it in, pretend like you dont have it.  You can check on it from time to time, and keep learning about Bitcoin and blockchain technologies, but never put in more money than you can lose.  If you do this, then the volatility in the short term wont matter, and in the long term, IMO the price will keep going up as it has since the beginning.  Good luck.

The limited amount of currency that will be mine once makes mathematically calculating the way and speed of coin development we have a chance to make a big profit in the future.

Bitcoin has reached all new heights, attracting the interest of investors and non-investors alike. Many people are more interested in trying to snag a piece of this crypto-currency’s astronomical gains than really enjoy the unique attributes of an anonymous digital money and this is really a safe currency that alot of people needs to know.

Bitcoin is the most worthy investment available today. Look how well it's been performing and getting better since it's inception. It is because it's a better long term store of value than gold and fiat.

[dothebeats]

Worthy investment? Yes, if you're looking to commit to it for the next 2-3 years. Safe currency? No currency can be safe from exploits and money laundering. Personally I like bitcoin because of the sense of security it offers through the blockchain technology. It cannot be replicated instantly, and nothing can be created out of thin air causing my own bitcoins to devalue because of that. It is sensible to at least hold bitcoin for the next 2-3 years, but anything longer than that you would need to invest on something that holds intrinsic value.

[SupportBitcoin]

It is a great time to invest in Bitcoin. It's still young and there is plenty more opportunity. You will look back wishing that you did! I know many people right now are having that same thought when you could spend 10000 Bitcoin on a pizza when it was first introduced!

[waniowski]

Mr B.Gates is saying that bitcoin is a future, so does Mr R.Branson
so there must be something in it

[nahtnam]

Yes, and no. Yes, It is extremely unlikely bitcoin will ever fall below 1 or 2k now but it might. Which is why you should only invest what you are able to afford to lose. Do not put your life savings into bitcoin because if it does drop you'll be in financial danger.
