Have my 600$ stimulus check, good time to buy btc? I plan to hold for the short

[pixie85]

You have to ask yourself if you need the money now. You said you're a poor and disabled person so you probably could use some money.

If you have all you need and the money would by lying in a drawer somewhere waiting for unexpected expenses you could invest it.

Bitcoin is going to continue in this bull market for now but watch out for a possible reversal like a fall below 20 thousand dollars.

[Yatsan]

Actually it is truly up to you if you will going to invest the gains you have recovered plus the stimulus check you have as a financial support and risk to invest it into Bitcoin. Well, if I would be ask with such amount, I will just take part of it first since it seems like it is the only amount you do have so better be safe to have some to be invested and some to stay on hand so if ever upon investing into Bitcoin and the price dumps for a while you won't get panic because you do still have some in your hand so you will just let the price rise again to have gains from the investment you have made. Just be mindful and observant on taking opportunities to enter at the right timing to grab the chance of taking profits and shortly you can have a handful of money from gains you can circulate on doing investment and pull outs until you can afford to input larger amount on investing with Bitcoin.

you didn't finish your title and from your comment it seems like you plan on reaching profit in a very short time as gamblers do. if that is the case then my answer is no because it is never a good idea to buy bitcoin and expect it to give you a lot of profit quickly. it has never ended well for anyone who has done something like this.
short term movements of bitcoin are as unpredictable as they are brutal. you can lose your mind over it.

[Ratash]

In my opinion the bullrun will continue for some time i think we can even see bitcoin at 50k i almost bought back when the price was still 6000$ but it was not a money i could afford to lose so i pulled back and now i regret it but in your case i think you should go for it.

So quick back story I'm poor/disabled and trying to make a few extra dollars since I'm out of work. I made a $h|tload back in 2017 but that wasnt so much skill but beginners luck and the bull market but I made a lot of day trades and more then just letting the money sit. Recently I found my trezor that I presumed lost and I bought BTC when it was at 18k recently in Dec and watched it grow, I took some profit: $577@ 29k because I thought it was a bubble but now I want to reinvest that $577+$600 stimulus check and keep it in the market for at least a month if this bull trend continues. I feel though like this might be the top right now.

I wish I could make a poll to see what the majority of people on this site are doing. Should I buy right now? What would you do if you were me, the $1100 is money I can afford to lose but willing to gamble it.

When it comes to price prediction then no one can really predict it and we are all having the same questions in mind on how far it would go.In terms into that profiting side then its up to you on how you gonna use it.
and since you had mentioned that you can afford it to lose then its your choice if you risk it up or would just tend to secure those bucks in fiat form but if you do let it sit again in bitcoin form then its up to you.
As long you do gain then that what mater most, if you do plan for short term trades then we cant tell if this is already the peak but for sure im seeing that theres a strong resistance in levels $34-35k price.
So presuming on short term aspect then i would really be waiting up for right entry point.

If he is really adamant to invest in bitcoin even if the price is going up, just invest not all of your money.
Just allot a certain percentage. At least, if something goes sideways, you still have some of your money that you can use.
Because as no one can exactly give you the price of bitcoin, few days or few months from now, you are just merely hoping that it will increase its value.
And that I think is really a gamble especially if that amount of money is already a significant amount for you.

First, I think you don't need to gamble it, because if gambling, it may only depend on your luck without any deeper analysis and cosndieration.

Second, are you sure want to make all in the funds into it? If it is safe funds, in which it is not loan or your daily need funds, it doesn't matter. But if you loan it or use your important funds to invest, I think that you should not put them all, only put your first investment of $577.
I know that bigger profits will require a bigger risk. So just consider it carefully and never be panic and Fear of missing out (FOMO). However, if you are ready with all kinds of risks, you can put them all in. Just ask and consider yourself again.

Third, I personally also do the short holding, but I don't do it based on one month, one week, or others. I do it based on the higher rate that the price hits. For example, I buy it for $35, and when it has reached 10-20%, I will then sell it. And of course, I also monitor market movements to see what the next possibility is.

I think it's a very risky gamble, but it's good that you can afford to lose it. Bitcoin keeps rising, and I think it's doing unbelievably well. Maybe it's just me always being cautious and remembering the 2018 fall very well, but I don't trust the bull run and am ready to see Bitcoin go down any day. Investing at ATH is always very risky, but if you're thinking of waiting for years to see how your investment goes anyway, it's probably not a bad idea to buy some BTC even at such a high price.
But as for me, I wouldn't do it and would keep the money in fiat for now.

[Alucard1]

I am not really into a short-term investment for that huge amount of money, it is still good to buy bitcoin because of the continuous increase of bitcoin but for sure it would be more profitable if you will hold it for the long term. Just set your standard or set how much money you want to earn before pulling out, you should always have that kind of thinking before you invest so you would know if you are ready to pull out.

You'll be taking a high-risk mate if you are investing this time. Though BTC is a good coin to buy but seeing the market flow, I'm afraid if prices will dump right after you bought some. I suggest you to consider ETH this time as its price just started to heat up. You can probably catch the best price to hold and gain profit for it in a short period of time.

I have another 1000 in xmas money I'm willing to invest. BTC is going really strong but its price is very high at 36700$ today. Maybe I should put the 1000 into eth? Whats popular opinion? I noticed eth follow BTC price so I would be willing to pull out of both at the same time. I kind of already reached my goal but I dont see it slowing down so rather then having a set max price where I sell I plan on holding until it drops 2-3k in a short amount of time. Then if its a temporary correction and the price starts to rise again I can just buy back in. Does that seem sound or is that a great way to lose money? Im trying to watch as many youtube videos as I can on it any channels that you could recommend? The ones from 2017 dont post anymore.

[Debonaire217]

It wasn't bad if I will say my opinion about the current market price of Bitcoin. Wayback before, I saw how drastically the market fall from 2017 ATH down to $3k somewhere in 2018 and 2019. With that experience, I often think that after the ATH we have, it will be followed by a huge pull back or what we know, market decline. That makes me persevere that it isn't the right time to buy now with the ATH at $38K if I assume that it will just decline down to a new dip. I want to make sure that I will be efficient that is why I still hodl a stable coin, and be ready for the big short that we are talking about. I am not inviting OP to do the same thing, but anyway, the profit in Bitcoin will rely on our hands as I anticipate that in the long run, ATH will always be higher compared to the previous ATH we have right now.

As some others have already written to you, you gamble with your money and no one can predict when lucky will leave you. If you’ve already made a pre-planned profit, it would be wise to stick to what you planned - but I know it’s not easy to resist the call of money that comes with rising BTC prices.

Im trying to watch as many youtube videos as I can on it any channels that you could recommend? The ones from 2017 dont post anymore.

I’m not going to say that YT is a completely bad source of information, but the amount of spam and fake information is amazing, and few are those channels that really offer something valuable and legitimate. Even they can't predict what interests you the most, so it's not wise to rely on these so-called experts. I suggest you explore the forum a bit more, there are good discussions and tips - but you should take each one with a grain of salt, after all you have to make key decisions on your own.

Good advice.
Today I saw my portfolio go from 5k$ to 4800$ at 9:00PM EST. I was thinking sell all out at 4500$ then buy back in with $2500 if it dips down low as I think this is a year to go long, but there are some things I need to buy in the mean time. So is $4500 a safe number in case it resets back down to 15k$ (Which I will buy back in and HODL)

[dre1982]

It doesn't matter whether a week or a month but you have to specify your target, how much percentage gain you are aiming for? or at what price you would sell it, $40k, $50k or $100k? After determining your target, calculate the probability of bitcoin to achieve it and the time frame to get there.
Or else, it doesn't matter how much it will rise or fall, you will sell after a month?
$1,100 worth 0.03437 at $32k (current price) and if you sell at $40k = $374 profit.

If they all listened to you they all could made that profit of $374. Bitcoin went up very fast last days.

I didn't expect to see that $40k so soon.

[Lucius]

beamin, your problem, if we can call it that at all, is that you're obviously playing with the money you need for everyday life - and when it comes to cryptocurrencies, you're in a very slippery slope. No one can say what's smart at the moment, because the price is going up more than all expectations - $10 000 in less than a week is more than an obvious sign of a big bull run.

When you're speculating about $15k, you should know that this would mean more than 50% correction at the moment - and with such high demand, I don't see it as a realistic option in the near future.

[imstillthebest]

what kind of disability do you have and how did you got your stimulus , do you have a work before , before you got disabled ? you can afford over 1 thousand dollars worth of investment and you call your self a poor , thats unbelievable and thats not a common quality have by a poor and im surprised that you still think btc is a bubble when you already invested on it , i didnt knew that there are still people on this age that questions the credibility of btc but go if you can afford to loose the amount , that is what important the most in investing or gambling

I think you do not have to sell now because I think the dips will not come too deeper. It's a correction temporary that will always happen. I feel that the bitcoin price will increase back to the higher price so that you can sell it higher than the price you bought, and you can make a nice profit. I do not think that the price will reset and back down to $15k in short time, but the price will make another new ATH soon. But that is a suggestion, and for further info, you can search from the market to see what is the situations of bitcoin price.
