How to buy 1 bitcoin

[Darooghe]

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  I believe this is called a market buy order and I've looked at the steps on how to do this but I think they're outdated or wrong.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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 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.

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]

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.

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.

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.

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.
