Is it alright to invest with bitcoin at the current market price?

[LogitechMouse]

As of today, Bitcoin went down to $11,300 right after its price went to $12,000.

Either way, it will depend on the 2 things.
1. Time frame on how long you will hold your Bitcoin.
2. Risk tolerance.

These 2 are important especially the risk tolerance. Most of the investors right now doesn't know how to manage their risk. If you can't see Bitcoin falling and you panic easily as  you see its price going down, use small amount only and vice versa.

Back to your intention, if you just fine and now the risk when you store money in bitcoin then go it. There is now the best way and to invest, bitcoin price is so volatile as you can see last day bitcoin price was increasing and touch the strong support but now it is price just decreasing don't know where the price will go.

But you may need to choose long term and short term investment. By doing choosing them you may need to knos some theory, like if you will choose short term investment then you have to buy bitcoin at the lower price so you will get profit in the short term. Unless you will choose long term investment like one year or more then I think don't need to find the low price because if you believe with some speculation/prediction out there, they will be many people who believe that bitcoin will have a high price like 100k and more.

Cryptocurrency is a high risk form of investment. In fact some had made high losses based on the stories of some users here who were selling their house and taking huge loans and lost it all investing in cryptocurrency. I do not really know if they were true about on things they told but pretty sure there were losses made here with other users investing in cryptocurrency especially in ICO projects. On the contrary there are some users posts inspire others to invest due to the high return that they had made in cryptocurrency investments.

Bitcoin is the leading crypto that had made the success of others in their investment. This is why I wanted to join in this kind of investment. I have tried invested small amount and made a lesser returns as profits but that was already enough to make a conclusion on how to earn with bitcoin. Bitcoin investment could be the reason for losses or gains. It will depend on how you do the investments.

As a newbie in bitcoin investment for I was actually a bounty hunter taking opportunity to earn from the rewards that consider as payment. The problem is that bounty hunting is not that really earning and it is just a waste if time and money except doing signature campaign that pays btc. While doing signature bounty campaign, it triggers me the interest or plan to invest in bitcoin. I have somehow evolve my perspective to bounty hunting to bounty hunting at the same time doing bitcoin investment.

The signature bounty I joined will help me to always keep in touch with the forum for bitcoin news and current events. Others are saying that bitcoin is going for a bull run and that will let me of course earn but the current market price now which is 12K$ is a bit higher. This is why I am itching to buy in bitcoin however I am also thinking of probable losses due to current market price which is high for the moment.

This is the reason why I made this post to see your replies that could help me decide. Again I had stated above that I know bitcoin has high risk and willing to take it. The questions is that "Is it still best time to invest now with the current market price? Or will wait for bitcoin market to crash? What do you think?

Great post.

Here is what I think about entering the crypto market.
1. You can make a loss when the price is low.
2. You can make a profit when the price is low
3. You can make a loss when the price is high
4. You can also make a profit when the price is high.

What determine profit or loss is your KNOWLEDGE of crypto trading which is hinge on crypto volatility strategy.

The current market price is not stable.I don’t think this is the right time to invest in this situation.Can wait a few days.Investments can be made if the market trends are right.So one should think before investing.Every year the market goes down a bit at a time I think  is the best time to invest.

Bitcoin isn't just about "investing" and bitcoin is inherently NOT an investment. Now like many other currencies, such as literally every fiat currency currently are all means of investing, so it's important to note that while they've become an investment, first and foremost bitcoin is a digital payment system. 

There is often many test you can run on stocks where you can see if they are good buys or not, bitcoin doesn't have that same type of set up.  Bitcoin is a volatile asset and I certainly think we will see bitcoin fall again, likely well under 10,000, but I also see it's future upside as massive so I think buying in now is not a bad idea at all. I could easily see it shoot up to ATHs again before long.

I would say as long as you change your perspective of the regular economy, you are already ahead of billions of people and you do not even need to invest to get ahead. You just need to realize that bitcoin is a way out, that is one way out and there are other ways out as well but you gotta realize you have to get out.

Regular economy with stock markets and all the stuff like that actually hurts you, these are built to make the rich richer and poor poorer and it will always be like that, as long as you do not understand that, you will be a slave to CEO's of companies and all you will make is enough to live, you think slaves 2000+ years ago didn't have enough food? You are just a slave like them with netflix and that is about it, a modern slave if you will. Bitcoin can get you out of that.

 Many were not able to profit because they keep on waiting for the market to crash because we will not know whether there will be a big setback to happen or the market will continue to rise until reaching it's peak.

The right timing to buy is the most important but many are having difficulties in finding the right timing therefore it will be best if you will just buy now then hold it for a long term one if you fully believe the capacity of bitcoin.

Every time is good to invest in cryptocurrency especially when it strong potential coin and what matters the most is the investor's personal knowledge about crypto investment though we're currently in a bullish market but the market can be surprised at times. However, people believe the recent exchange allegations were the reason for the dump in the price of the market and it will be decision to seize the moment.

After the first halving of the remuneration to miners for each new mined block of bitcoin in 2012, the price of bitcoin increased a hundred times during the year. After the second decrease in 2016, the price increased thirty times by the end of 2017. This time, the Bitcoin price is expected to rise tenfold, that is, up to one hundred thousand dollars.
Each of us is given the opportunity to use this information, or ignore it.

This is absolutely fine, this is normal volatility in crypto, good thing that the market don't keep move up. Crypto market are volition that’s where you make your money. BTC had a really ordinary dip, however alts dived much deeper. It's consolidating before it starts heading up so it's up to you whether you make invest or not.

It's not always wise to invest in the cryptocurrencies at any time possible, I guess we have to wait for the dumps or the dips and then invest in these coins. Pumps are not the greatest of times to invest in the cryptocurrencies as most of the times the pumps get overbrought and then we end up buying the coins at a really high marked up price. I also wait for the dumps for getting a good entry in the Cryptocurrency and always do my homework before investing in a token as often there is more to the project than what meets the eyes, so it is better to do research than regretting your decision of investing later.

You make a good point but good coins usually make new ATH sooner or later even when they are overbought in the current market and this is the reason why good knowledge in coin selection and investment is needed because what need is to switch the invested coin for long term market rather than panic sell. An example is 2016 market when BTC was sold at $600-800 price range, the ling term investors that bought then make an extremely good profit

If you are an investor, you need to be prepared in a situation like this.
Like when after you bought, suddenly the market goes down.
What will you do? Don't panic. Because if you believe in btc or the alt where you invested your money with.
This is one of the challenging parts. Don't sell your coins for fear that it will go down more.
But have faith that the market will recover and will go up again. Remember the situation is not forever.

It is good to invest at bitcoin unlike the market price. The market price of bitcoin has decreased a little, and following is the altcoins market changes. If I'm not wrong this is the right time for all level of traders to make good earning. Apart from this, every year end there'll be better growth. We're on the last few months of the year, with that into consideration it is good to make an investment at this moment.

Nothing in particular mate because all of us has our own desire and plans in our investments here in crypto,Like me i am willing to Hold or sell whenever i think the price comes to my desire amount.
I don't care if i lose or win because i know what i am entering and i know the risk is always there.
Sometimes it is better to have no concrete plan but ready to the outcome than those planning but never come to reality.
Meaning always nothing to come but just nonsense talks.
Buy now and start investing,Asking us will only Hinder you from trying your luck here.

Well what do you waiting for the market dropped by 7% now two days after you made this thread so it's answered prayer for you good times to buy now, so far Bitcoin has recovered 2% when it crashed I'm looking forward for the recovery or correction period now, but still not safe what happened could happen again.  

[carriebee]

There's no certainty if the market could continue to rise. One thing that makes you help decide is to study the market since we do not know when it will rise. When you observe the price lately bitcoin drops and if you catch the opportunity of buying that time you are good and always observe the market to enter to invest on what you can afford.

Even you study how the movement of the market works, it is still unpredictable due to it's volatility that no one can tell what would be the next reason about the sudden increase or decrease of the price of bitcoin. But while the price of bitcoin is low, it is definitely an opportunity to invest your money to it because it might make a sudden changes to it's market price that could result a good profit.

Right now, it looks like it is going to a place where it would be great to buy. I would say wait for a while and see where it goes, it could go down a lot and when it goes down a lot I am sure that it will do a lot better for you. I would say buying under $9k would be the way to go, it is not going to be over $10-11k levels very quickly, it is going to be doing very bad and very slow for a while but after that buying under $9k means whenever it reaches to $11k level you will profit around 20% levels, even more, closer to 30% levels and that is what it matters, depending on where you buy.

I would say put a big huge buy order at around $8k levels, if it reaches to $8k you buy it and wait, I know it will take months and a long time, maybe who knows 7-10 months but it will one day be $12k again, which means $4k profit if you are patient enough.

For me, maybe what most important is did we already to take the risk to buy in any price, with that i think whatever price is not a problem for an investor. As long they can maintain their investment and make analysis about it. Of course take risk not means we buy it in any price when it is already high, but we use analysis to do it and then we will be ok. Or if still not really sure about it, buy this price with half amount of money that we have now and wait price to crash to back up or maybe buy again.
