How to buy 1 bitcoin

[stskv]

So I own $1000 in bitcoin but I want to invest the remaining amount to accumulate a whole bitcoin.  The prices fluctuates every second so how can I do this on coinbase?  I believe this is called a market buy order and I've looked at the steps on how to do this but I think they're outdated or wrong.

Just look at sell orders and you can set buy order on exactly the price of someone else sell order and you will buy from him.
Simple as that, current price of 1 BTC is around $7500 u need a lot more.

.... I believe this is called a market buy order and I've looked at the steps on how to do this but I think they're outdated or wrong.

What do you mean outdated or wrong?

May we know the steps you are talking about?

The prices fluctuates every second so how can I do this on coinbase?

The exchange rate will depend on the time the transaction got executed.

With what you have $ 1K, what is left of that amount for you to invest in bitcoin? how can you invest the rest for a bitcoin, while the price of bitcoin is now $ 7300.
need more capital to reach so you can bitcoin.

The prices fluctuates every second so how can I do this on coinbase?  I believe this is called a market buy order and I've looked at the steps on how to do this but I think they're outdated or wrong.

obviously at any time there will always be changes due to a transaction. now you just need to place it, if you want to sell or buy but all prices are determined by the price when you place.

[stskv]

I made a mistake and invested $1000 in bitcoin on the bitcoin app not the bitcoin pro exchange.  My plan was to invest a small amount and see that build up but I change my mind and would like to the whole value of a bitcoin which around $7300 right now not just $1000 worth.  So how can I do this through the exchange?  So now I need to invest around $6300.

I will advice that you might invest little amount of first, dont spend to much in only one trade. Or you may try to split your money, if you are going to have a $7300 then maybe you should put $3300 to other alt coins and the bigger amount would be sent to bitcoin investment. Just invest to those trusted exchange! Nothing else for you not to commit mistake again.

If you want to trade to hopefully increase your bitcoin stack, you're probably looking at Coinbase Pro: https://pro.coinbase.com/

Note, if you're a really inexperienced trader, I heavily wouldn't suggest going this route. My suggestion would be that you hold on to your bitcoin, and earn money through jobs/gigs/businesses instead and use the money you earn to buy bitcoin. You're highly likely to lose money with trading than to earn money.

[Eugenar]

If that is the case, you are so rich to buy a whole 1 bitcoin out of your funds. I just highly suggest that prepare the safest wallet possible first before you buy so you already have a place to store it such as a ledger, though, I highly recommend not buying 1 bitcoin at this time. Try to consider buying at lower price if you are about to accumulate that huge amount of bitcoin. But if you just want to invest a small amount, then go ahead, try to find local exchange where you can have bitcoins at.

If you trade on Coinbase, it's quite easy and you can literally buy BTC from them, they only update their prices every 5 minutes or so, and when your transaction is getting processed, it's basically set in stone (the price), and they can't change it.

They have huge, huge spreads though (something like 5%) and I would definitely recommend you to look at other options like paxful, which don't require your ID, and have only 1 percent or so via bank transfers (0.9% spread or smth, and then a 0.1% bank transfer, I believe).

[DreamStage]

Use negotiate option on top of the page from Coinbase.

Then use the Buy option from the 3 given (Buy / Sell / Convert) and follow next instructions.

Care that you need to be verified so you can add multiple deposit sides such as pay pal, bank and so on.

I think in almost every market, if it still in buy / sell orders means you can buy / sell on that price and executed it. Or if you are in hurry, you can pick sell orders in it and pump it. But my suggestion is set your own buy order and left it until it is executed. I never trade in coinbase, but i think the system is same with other market.

[MURONDI]

if you want to invest 1 bitcoin, my suggestion is to divide your capital in several exchanges, if one day the exchange is problematic you don't lose all your money, although the exchange has a good reputation, we must remain careful of the assets we have.

Just hold your bitcoin until the price increase so you will see your profit. The price will be like that every day and will always fluctuate. You don't have to worry if the price is down because soon, the price will increase. But if you have bitcoin in the market, I think you can use that bitcoin for trading, and you will have a chance to sell the bitcoin if the price increase, and you can repurchase bitcoin if the price is down. So that will allow you to make more money, and you will also have more bitcoin. But you will have skills to trade because it's not easy to trading.

You can send your bitcoin to the exchanges, and you can choose binance. I think you don't have to invest more because you have a chance to get your money back if you can be patient. Just wait for a while to see the bitcoin price will increase.

The 1 Bitcoin is a huge amount of money so we must think many times before we proceed with it as it's hard to earn that money in real life. So for me if I do have that kind of money, won't invest all in Bitcoin, maybe around $2k only for Bitcoin and $2k for Ethereum and the rest would just rather save it as my emergency fund.

[boyptc]

I think I'm confusing you.  I got $1000 from my bank account and put into bitcoin using coinbase pro.  Now I want to put in whatever is leftover to own a whole bitcoin not just $1000 worth.

Then deposit it again on coinbase to buy the current price of bitcoin and I've got a warning to you.

Avoid people that will offer you to 'multiply' that amount you've got to obtain 1 bitcoin. Because of the desire you have right now to make it at least 1 bitcoin, you might be greedy and listen to them.

Avoid those strangers that might come to you.

[Casdinyard]

The 1 Bitcoin is a huge amount of money so we must think many times before we proceed with it as it's hard to earn that money in real life.

Who knows this guy is so damn rich and seems don't care the $6300 that he needs to have to complete his 1 bitcoin.
However, even if it's the case he should be knowledgeable about wallet moreover don't store any funds on exchange sites or any third party wallet.

Anyway, I would suggest OP to be careful in buying bitcoin and don't be impulsive. Try to understand the market first.

So how can I do this through the exchange?  So now I need to invest around $6300.

You just need a fiat, lol! Kidding aside, you can link your bank account on any trusted exchange site and just set your buy order.

I do agree, this is the best choice, if OP does not have any experience to trading to at least increase his bitcoin holdings by buying bitcoin in a natural way is the best choice to collect a whole bitcoin that he wanted.

Yes, avoid scam and do not listen to making money in an instant or anything like this to prevent from losing all your funds.

Investing using your fiat money a total of 1 bitcoin is really huge money. Investing in it will not guarantee you a 100% profit cause this kind of market can take a fall also sometimes a massive downfall. Please don't put all your assets in an exchange, you don't know what may happen like security breach and data compromising... So just keep it instead on a wallet where you have full control of your private keys.

[MarioV]

It is really becoming difficult to buy bitcoins. This is why it is healthier (against depression) to buy Satoshi, hoping that they will grow up and get over maturity.

If your using coinbase there’s a spread on top of the actual price, this additional cost insures instant settlement for buyers or sellers, it’s instant. but If you didn’t have the spread you would put an order In for the highest buy price and it might take a couple seconds to clear or it could take minutes it just depends on if someone places a buy order for cheaper than yours.

Question is: Where and HOW securely to buy bitcoin for fiat money - from credit card, paypal, another payment systems? All I know need to pass KYC - but maybe exist some one, which doesn't?

If your only goal is to have and accumulate a total of 1bitcoin just keep on cashing in your money on your coinbase pro account and withdraw it to an external wallet, you'll be needing to spend $7,324.91 at the moment minus your current balance which is $1k, you need approximately $6.5k more.

Well the question is a bit confusing anyway. But if he managed to buy 1 btc from money that came out of his bank, the process is pretty much the same. No difference. If your bank has enough balance to buy the remaining amount to get a full btc, then he should already know how to to convert since he's done it already.

It mean, do you already have bitcoin? or where did you get $1000 in bitcoin?

You can buy it instantly if you don't have any knowledge to trade, but when you already have a knowledge about trading you can predict it first and place your money when you have made an analyst. I think at this current situation to buy bitcoin or another cryptocurrencies is quit simple, you only need to make an account on the exchange and deposit your money the account and just need a few minutes you can buy bitcoin or altcoin with an easy way.

As I understand to his post, he has $1k and already put it to bitcoin using coinbase pro, now he is saying that he wants to own 1 bitcoin, so he needs to at least own $7k+ in total to achieve his goal. He only needs to deposit to his coinbase pro to buy bitcoin again and accumulate the 1 bitcoin he wanted.

I think I'm confusing you.  I got $1000 from my bank account and put into bitcoin using coinbase pro.  Now I want to put in whatever is leftover to own a whole bitcoin not just $1000 worth.

Find a good bitcoin wallet where you could store your bitcoin most of the time the bitcoin wallet you use already have a market or an exchanger that you could buy bitcoin.
Like for example coinbase.com just create an account in the websites or in the mobile application and then convert your money to buy bitcoin directly in the application,
you could easily use your card to have a direct payment in coinbase to buy bitcoin in the website it will be a huge price since 1 bitcoin was a 7k$ in the market.

Avoid PayPal payments because they are reversible.

The other option you have is to buy through localbitcoins.

For credit card, use Binance but take note of the fee --> https://www.binance.com/en/support/articles/360022498052

May I ask you why do you need a whole Bitcoin? Because after reading your posts I've got an impression that you think that there is an incompletion of a kind in having just a fraction of Bitcoin. This view of Bitcoin doesn't surprise me because just two weeks ago I was talking to a guy who thought that one could purchase only a whole Bitcoin, and when I said that he could buy 0.01 he thought I was joking.

Anyways, don't think of Bitcoin as of something that functions worse if incomplete. Buy a fraction of it, 0.05 or 0.1 BTC, for the money you can live without during the next 3-5 years.

Yes, for you to be sure OP , turn on your 2FA settings and make an alphanumeric password so it will be diffucult for the hackers to know it, also do not put all your money in one exchange. And if you like, invest your money im different assets like eth,xrp,bnb and so on. We dont know the trend of bitcoin now if it will be continues to go down or it will be go uptrend no one knows but take the risk.

You can use other exchange that you can use a buy order,  i think coinbase do not have that option move it to other exchange and trade it there with foat or other stable crypto currency.
The price of coinbase is on that spot you can only buy and sell the time you want it and no buy orders.

[aardvark15]

If you are saying that you want to use the $1000 worth of Bitcoin and trade with it to add more, then Coinbase isn’t really set up for that. At least it’s not set up for short term trading or day trading. You may need to move the Bitcoin to an exchange that allows quick trades.

Whats outdated or wrong? Theres no such thing yet price do fluctuates every second and those buy orders youve seen are real time.
Regarding on the question that you do tend to accumulate 1 whole bitcoin then there are lots of ways actually but since you are already on coinbase then you can
also opt in to buy.

Then just repeat the process on how you able to deposit your $1,000.

Obviously, you can't buy a whole bitcoin with just $1,000. I don't understand what step you are confused about especially that "whatever is leftover".

You need to harm again your precious fiat until you reached the amount needed for BTC1. Anyways, it's not necessary but up to you if you want to push for it.

dont worry. You can buy it anytime you want and its price will fluctuate not too much, it only difference a few dollars. and as soon as you create a deal with the other server, they will close the price right after the click. so you're free to trade or if you're afraid the price is too high then you can choose to trade with people who want to sell bitcoins. they will sell cheaper than Coinbase or other credit cards.

To buy one Bitcoin? You're still far from that, you need extra $6500 or so, based on the current price for one Bitcoin.
As for buying Bitcoin on Coinbase you will have to be fast about it, because if you delay and the price range changes, the purchase you're about to make will fail and you're going to have to restart your purchase.

But, a good suggestion is that you check out the selling orders on that trade page and then click on any of the sell orders and you will buy from them. If you keep making use of buy order you might not finish up before the price changes.

[danherbias07]

It will be a difficult path ahead.
Are you really sure with what you are trying to do?
You can try to read more about the experience of other traders here for now. Do not be in haste. That should be your first rule.
Go get some knowledge and have a little experience using altcoins first.
Those bitcoin will be at waste if you just jump in without even knowing what you will do.

[rijaljun]

OP is clearly trying to find way to accumulate bitcoin with the asset he has ($1000 in bitcoin) and not gonna buy bitcoin with fiat.

If you read the OP post carefully and wasn't willing to spam signature, I bet you would not make this post.

[Danne87]

an interesting question that hardly anyone will answer correctly, especially in such a volatile December. Try using TA and think for yourself. It’s nice to go into the long term even now.

[Landak]

an interesting question that hardly anyone will answer correctly, especially in such a volatile December. Try using TA and think for yourself. It’s nice to go into the long term even now.

the simple answer is why a lot people always recommend long term, why not daily trading because with 1000USD capital it can be fast enough to get profit, at least he have to be smart in doing analysis.

[leowonderful]

If you're just looking to buy the coin and you've got money on hand, the simplest thing to do that might incur some fees is just to simply buy the coins through Coinbase and pay the fees that Coinbase charges for spread and all or try to buy those coins through Coinbase Pro, though the latter will probably take more time for you if you're newer to Bitcoin. If available, if you want to cut the fees that you're taking with these buys, try to purchase the coins through a bank account. You'll be paying less in fees this way.

There are several ways to earn more BTC but trading is the most logical way. So you will need the $1000 you invested and sufficient knowledge. Since there is enough money to trade, the only shortcoming is knowledge. So hurry up to collect this knowledge.

Since you are new and want to know more about this things best to move this topic to beginners help sections and possibly you will get the correct output for your questions since there are more veterans users who help newbie users for there questions https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=39.0

And since you want to buy bitcoins then make sure that you are ready to buy at this rate since as you said the price is flactuating and might you will lose aswell get panic if certain falls happen but if you are a risk taker and willing to hold then look at the current price and initiate/execute your buy order and it will be filled.

Although trading is the most logical way, he needs to make deposits another money if he wants to recover his losses in trading, so he will be able to make a profit. But he needs to consider to learn more about trading to know when he can enter the market. Or if he already has skills, he can choose scalping trade because I see a chance to do that way at the market. But be careful, the market is not predicted, and the price can run at any rate without we will know.

[Karmakid]

If you have a cash for a whole bitcoin. I suggest to you to divide that cash into several parts so you can do dollar cost averaging. Dollar cost averaging is helpful for situation like this because the market seems like full of confusion because it doesn't have a clear path where it is being headed so cost averaging will help you to spread the risk of investing.

[BitHodler]

Dollar cost averaging is helpful for situation like this because the market seems like full of confusion because it doesn't have a clear path where it is being headed so cost averaging will help you to spread the risk of investing.

This makes the most sense, not only for OP but for many other people who don't know what to do, because it's not easy to determine yourself with how indecisive the current market is.

One day it looks bullish while the next day the price tanks as fast as it went up. I generally use about 10% of my balance to dollar cost average into the market, which in case the price will go down more, will work out well for me.

That being said, you need a plan to dollar cost average into the market, so don't buy every single dip that you see. In some cases it's better to hold off for a while because there is more downside potential.

[metalglowd]

Well i actually bit confused with your title thread and the content itself, you ask about How to buy 1 Bitcoin, but you're already have 1000$ in Bitcoin and then the remaining amount ?
is this in another cryptocurrencies like Ethereum or other tokens but you have small amount in it ? or your buy order maybe all completed yet because price is going up again ?
Buy and Sell will be easier if you do it in the exchange like Binance or Bithumb for example. Let's say you already have that 1000$, the only thing you need to do is just set your Sell Order higher than Buy Order itself, most of exchanges usually takes fee if you placed it in the same price as the recent Buy Order.

Your available $1000 in far below the current price of bitcoin. The volatility of bitcoin won't allow you to purchase at such a price for a whole bitcoin. But if you are a professional trader, you can use the $1000 to trade with Alts that has a good market value, or better still invest in prospective projects IEO or ICO then will you be able to own a whole bitcoin in respect with time. Don't feel discouraged with the turn out of some previous Alts. Check the signature which I wear, you may prefer investing in it.

[Asmonist]

Basically, you need to earn the price equivalent of 1 bitcoin today. As much as you can you must have the various sources of income and activities to earn bitcoin as well. Its a two way process, to earn bitcoin or to accumulate the certain $ dollar equivalent of 1 btc. Buying sites are everywhere and easy to process once you have the funds.

[kolonel_x]

The current comparison is that bitcoin is priced at $ 7,500, if a capital of $ 1,000 wants to be a whole bitcoin you have to trade professionally, your funds will increase if it is profitable, but it is difficult friends especially in the use of Coinbase exchange.
Try to do other ways to trade coins with potential coins in a short time may be able to become a complete bitcoin.

good advice, but I'm worried that if he doesn't have the knowledge, he might lose a lot of money. especially now that the market situation is unstable and tends to decline.
but IEO is a good choice, so far seeing IEO in the price comparison at binance in the early phase and now is quite good. especially if we can participate in the initial sales phase, it will be very good.
but indeed the best way to grow our bitcoin value is by trading altcoin.

Basically, you need to earn the price equivalent of 1 bitcoin today. As much as you can you must have the various sources of income and activities to earn bitcoin as well. Its a two way process, to earn bitcoin or to accumulate the certain $ dollar equivalent of 1 btc. Buying sites are everywhere and easy to process once you have the funds.

Save some of small income that you had, don't spend on thing that you don't need most. Only spend your money on basic commodities like food and transportation, so that we may save our money just for bitcoin holdings and we can earn a profitable income when we're able to acquire enough money to buy 1 bitcoin. Although it's hard to reach that amount, but with deligence and hardwork it's alwayd possible.

To buy 1 Bitcoin, you need to pay 7450 USD for today's price. Bitcoin is easier to buy than the old times, so you can buy without difficulty. Yes, I'm writing an answer based on this topic, because the message in the topic is ridiculous and nothing to answer. In line with your budget, if you can't get 1 Bitcoin, you should buy it according to your budget and use this money correctly to reach your goal. Unfortunately with 1000 USD you cannot buy 1 Bitcoin but you can increase this money by getting 0.13 Bitcoin and get 1 Bitcoin.

So I own $1000 in bitcoin but I want to invest the remaining amount to accumulate a whole bitcoin.  The prices fluctuates every second so how can I do this on coinbase?  I believe this is called a market buy order and I've looked at the steps on how to do this but I think they're outdated or wrong.

You cant stop the fluctuation and thats a normal thing with bitcoin and you should get used to it.Price in usd would vary from time to time so if you are targeting on buying bitcoin
then you should buy it on its current price on a certain time.After you bought it then price would either dump or rise on next to that.If you arent ready for such scenario then
bitcoin investment isnt for you. Theres no wrong or outdated because no matter where you do buy those prices would really be changing from time to time.

[Stargazer]

I am not clear what you are trying to say here. Buying Bitcoin in coinbase as easy as everyone can do it. Are you trying through the Coinbase Pro exchange or from the app? App worked perfect for me, therefore the Coinbase Pro exchange also very easy to process. Otherwise, you can try Binnace but don't think Coinbase is outdated or wrong!

Buying bitcoin is one of the hardest thing for me. 1 bitcoin is too much expensive in my case since I am just a small time person. In fact, it is my dream even before. However, I want to make it as possible as I can. I think I just need to save atleast 10% of my salary and buy 1BTC during crash. It is good if I buy at price of 5000 dollars or less.

Your thoughts seem to be moving towards trading and I highly recommend not trying. Because when trading, you have to pay a fee when you order. Besides, if you are lucky, you will gain a few units, but if unlucky, you will lose a few units and lose extra fees. To be able to trade, you need to learn a lot from trading books.

In your case that you are busy and not focusing on crypto it is too hard to have 1 BTC but if you focus your time on trading and learn a lot of trading tricks or learn more the market to earn bitcoin, then it is possible. for now that the price is not at good condition, it is time to accumulate more then hodl if you want to have 1 BTC and more profit.

It seems OP is having hard time to buy bitcoin since the price keep changing in sec, so his buying order can't be execute yet. it's not about coinbase is outdated (other people would complain if they are outdated about their price, which also impossible for such like coinbase)

[BitHodler]

I agree. People generally only buy when they see the price go up because they think Bitcoin is going to change the world or something, but after a while they figure out that they bought the peak of a rally and will keep bleeding.

The uglier the market looks, the better the buying opportunity is. That's the evidence we have in every market. If people for once did the opposite of what they think is the best thing to do, they would have made quite a bit of money.

but our problem is difficult to determine when the right time to buy. is the current price of bitcoin going down or up? sometimes a few percent increase makes us FOMO and a decline makes us panic.

That is a very simple experiment that I made long ago, I realized that I kept losing money in the markets and since I kept detailed records I asked myself the next question, what if I did the opposite? What if instead of selling I bought and instead of buying I sold? And to my surprise the results were positive, since then I have changed my mind and whenever I feel fearful about the market instead of selling I buy more and this has brought me good results.

I guess you do understand that no one will give you a trading strategy here, right? Mostly, because it takes a lot of time to develop one and no one still has any guarantees. Though, there are many pieces of advice on this thread. Well, I can give you one more: try to learn what does the situation on the market looks like. IDK, maybe use this info bot https://t.me/CexIoInfoBot or another one. It will be easier to earn then.

sometimes we are indeed trapped by FOMO when we want to make a buy, so I hope when making a buy we can be in a calm condition and can also be thorough, rather than to secure ourselves. beyond that maybe our ability to be one factor to find the right time.

indeed to be able to buy and have 1 BTC it requires quite a lot of $, for example like me who currently cannot afford to be able to buy it, but I don't want to wait for my money to be collected until I can buy 1 BTC, with the minimum money I try to enter in trading and little by little I will collect my profits to be able to have 1 BTC or even more, because for example I wait for my money to be collected to be able to buy 1BTC which I fear the price will rise even higher.

Owning a whole number of bitcoins have never been an easy task at least in the current market situations. If you have $1000 but have the will to trade with whole number of bitcoins than you can move onto leverage trading. You can trade with 1 BTC on futures platforms just by holding some amount as collateral. $1000 would be a great collateral and you can easily trade above 1 BTC but there comes huge risk.

Your coins might be liquidated any time if the price you predicted went in opposite direction. This leads to huge loss and hence you should first try trading on various testnets so that you can test your skills and then move onto real trading if you find any profits in demo trading.

Buying is the most important step than selling. This is atleast what I feel because if we fail to buy at a approx dip than we might need to wait for some long time or mostly, FOMO can make us enter the markets at a wrong price which would give you loss and you need to wait for more than your estimated wait time in order to see profits again, so always be cautious while entering the markets. Once you enter at a correct price than you can hold until your sell price is been reached.

Never forget to put a stop loss in critical situations where you are not sure whether the price would pump or dump to avoid excess loss.

I don't think he wanted to make $1000 worth of bitcoin into whole one by trading strategies,it looks like he wanted to buy remaining amount of bitcoins needed from his fiat savings.Its just simple he has to check the market price and availability of bitcoins in wallet then just enters the remaining figures needed in the trade order.

Yes, basically to always be more careful about buying and selling, there is no need to take or make hasty decisions when you have just entered the market because research is the most important if you expect good profits and maybe can obtained in the short term. Patience is also an important factor to get the best price, the point to control emotions is to avoid FOMO because we know, FOMO will only make regrets in the end.

It will vary on a certain individual on how he do look about BTC.If he do just jumped due to FOMO factor then he do definitely aims on making money on short time which
would result into careless actions or would surely got into Fomo and end up on waiting game because the price had slumped down.

If you do jump in with some basic knowledge on how crypto or btc works when it comes to long term aspect then you do tend to hold for sometime then buying anytime
wont really be an issue yet you dont care on what would be the price in short time.

1000USD is a big money to buy only a single cryptocurrency. Better consider investing also on both Crypto market and Forex market. Cryptos, especially Bitcoin, are volatile. Having you huge money be invested on it alone would be too risky. But if you would really wanted to buy 1Bitcoin, there are a lot of marketplace to buy near your place (in which mine has too many). But still, you cannot buy at a low price now. You must either wait for another decrease or invest just atleast half of your money.

In how to buy, there's a lot of wallet that offers such feature. Never ever do it on an exchange unless you wanted to enter the world of trading. But if you do so, better study first the world of crypto market and have training in online trading simulations.
