What does it take to become a Bitcoin investor

[kryptqnick]

I have a close friend who recently purchased 0.8 Bitcoins and when we met he was happy and was like " I am now a Bitcoin investor"
At that point I go this question in mind ;what does it really take to become a Bitcoin investor .does it mean that if you own a considerable amount of Bitcoin in your wallet you are now a Bitcoin investor or there is more to it aside having a basic knowledge of crypto currencies

Firstly, 0.8 is certainly a very considerable amount of money to invest, the sort of money most people don't have at all. Secondly, I think one can technically call oneself a Bitcoin investor if this person owns (it could be bought, earned or obtained as a gift) some BTC and treats it as an investment (waits for the price/value to rise and expects to enjoy profits or at least a better deal than if keeping the money in fiat). It doesn't really matter how much a person invests, but treating Bitcoin as an investment rather than as money, for example, seems important to me.

Yes, if you buy some amount of Bitcoin you can be considered a Bitcoin investor but you can only be a genuine BTC investor if you understand the BTC market fundamental concept, potential upside, and down, risks, and the beauty of the BTC technology. Always invest for the long term.
The second thing is: Knowing how to secure your investment. If you don't know to secure your wallet you can lose all your investment within a second.

So do you mean there is a fake Bitcoin investors?  Does it mean buying Bitcoin even though the person does not have enough knowledge of Bitcoin economics is considered not a genuine Bitcoin investor?  From when it is required to know all the aspect of investment to become a genuine investor?  As far as it explains...

in·ves·tor
noun
a person or organization that puts money into financial plans, property, etc. with the expectation of achieving a profit.

Investors are people who put money with the expectation of achieving profit.  It is all about profit and not about learning the fundamentals of what he is investing.  It is important yes but it is not the factor that decide whether you are an investor or not, it is the money you put in.

So to become a Bitcoin investor, you need to inject money and acquire Bitcoin in hopes of profit.

What is needed to become a BTC investor is, of course, sufficient knowledge, because if you don't have knowledge, of course there will be the potential for huge losses.

but I'm sure your friend will be able to handle his investment in BTC, because usually someone who wants to invest always learns about it first.
maybe even your friend will learn on his own from his own experience.
because experience is also a teacher who can certainly learn something from experience.

There is no minimum amount of investment required to be considered an investor. You can call yourself an investor as long as you invest. But it's up to you if you're comfortable being referred to as an investor if your investment is only.0001 Btc. When we hear about an investor, we assume he has a large investment or a lot of money.

And if you are a Bitcoin investor, you must have a fundamental understanding of Bitcoin because you cannot invest if you do not.

1 satoshi or 1 bitcoin if you keep them in your wallet and Hold then you are already an investor because you are trusting the coin and this market , and about the knowledge , there are different people who invests in bitcoin , some are those who have deep knowledge but there are also others that just trust this because of what they  believe , this is investment world in which for 10 years and more now are serving people with decent income(of course those who trust this coin)

What is needed to become a BTC investor is, of course, sufficient knowledge, because if you don't have knowledge, of course there will be the potential for huge losses.

knowledgeable or not? you can be an investor mate as long as you are willing to risk to earn and sometimes we need to have this attitude in learning and earning.

[Stella Mese]

In my opinion, the first thing to do to invest in BTC is, of course, our can buy it on an exchange or our can mine and so on. and i guess your friends must have learned about btc,
that's why he dared to invest in btc.
because I also used to have experience before investing, I will find out first about the investment we are going to go for, and what is certain is that other people will not know in detail what I am doing.
I think your friends will also find out about btc before investing but one thing for sure you will not know.

An investor is someone who has invested in a particular assets like Bitcoin, gold etc. It doesn't matter how little or small you have invested or how big your investment was but we're all investors. Investors are then divided into different groups, from the low investors to the whales.

The whales are those investors who have very large amount of an investment that they can influence the market by selling their shares. Before you can become a Bitcoin whale you have to own thousands of Bitcoin but just by purchasing Bitcoin with as low as $1 you're an investor.

Been an investor has to do with your mindset so even though you don't have enough Bitcoin now but stay consistent in buying Bitcoin, at some point you would had invested so much into Bitcoin and Bitcoin would had rise to a price that would have given you enough God profit when you sell.

I agree that the amount doesn't really matter but even if it did, we are talking about 0.8 bitcoins here, that's a lot of bitcoins if you think about it, that's over 20k dollars of bitcoin and that should be considered a bitcoin investor. I don't care how much you invest into anything, I would consider you an investor even if you put 10 bucks into something, but if you invested 20k into anything at all then I would consider that as a n investor even easier because that's a lot of money.

By comparison let me tell you this way, I have never had 20k+ dollars in my bank at any moment in my life, that's more money than I have ever had in my bank account. That should tell you how much money it is for most parts of the world.

What differs one investor from another is just their size and relevance on the market. While some are small investors, others are average and there also the big investors, the whales, who have great influence on the market and can impact the prices positively or negatively with their buy or sell orders.
But in the end, all of them are Bitcoin investors who have put their hopes and expectations on it with the maximum sum of money they could afford.

Knowledge is another thing and isn't required in order to become a Bitcoin investor. Many investors don't know how Bitcoin works, its history or technical elements, but they still hold some satoshis or even some bitcoins on their personal wallets thinking on long term returns.

To become a Bitcoin investor, the only condition I can see is to accumulate at least 1 Satoshi. This is a unit of Bitcoin, and owning it qualifies you as a Bitcoin investor. You don't have to buy a whole Bitcoin to be considered an investor; just buy whatever you can afford. However, it's important to use a non-custodial wallet to secure your holdings. Before investing, it's also crucial to educate yourself more about Bitcoin.

It's going to be so expensive and troublesome to buy one satoshi  that you might go with the flow and buy at least a restaurant meal worth of bitcoin. The fees to send 1 satoshi anywhere are much higher than the value of the "investment" and you can't and probably won't be able to buy anything for such a low amount of money.
Maybe technically someone owning 1 satoshi is a bitcoin investor, but you should at the very least aim at owning a spendable amount, like a worth of a cup of coffee, or a sandwich.
I'm saying this because if you own one cent, you're technically a holder of US dollars, but you can't buy anything with that, it's worthless.

Having some bitcoin on your wallet makes you a bitcoin owner but not necessarily a bitcoin investor, in order to become an investor of any kind of asset you need to have some skills related to the markets, some of those skills may include money management, risk assessment, fundamental analysis, technical analysis and a myriad of other skills we may need, if your friend has those skills then he is indeed a bitcoin investor, but if he does not have them then I do not think he can call himself an investor at all.

It takes money. Just like with investing in anything.

Not sure I understand the essence of your question or what you are actually asking. As long as you have the money and the motivation, you can become a Bitcoin investor. As far as researching your investment goes, that can be done anytime, before or even after making the investment.

In order to invest in Bitcoin you just need to buy some Bitcoin, which you can do on any platform which offers to sell you Bitcoin, or you could even buy it from a friend/family member, without any extra hassle.

Anyone who owns even a cent's worth of Bitcoin is already an investor.

..." I am now a Bitcoin investor" ..

In order to become a bitcoin investor, it is necessary to have at least basic knowledge about cryptocurrency and have money to buy a minimum amount of Bitcoins. This basic knowledge will help you not only create a wallet for storing Bitcoins, but also keep them safe so that they are not lost.

I must say knowledge is very important. If you don’t have enough knowledge about the asset that you are investing in, then there is high chances that you will make losses in it. So yeah not only Bitcoins but in each and every asset you must have great knowledge on it, and should be aware of the risk factors that are involved in it. Moreover you don’t need to buy a specific amount of Bitcoins, in order to be considered as Bitcoin investor. Buy 10$ of Bitcoins, and you will be still considered as a Bitcoin investor. Bitcoins are growing in price in each moment, so who knows when the 10$ will be turning into 100$.

[AicecreaME]

The answer on your question is very simple, if you invested your money on it then automatically you're a Bitcoin investor, there's nothing more requirements about that, even if you have only basic knowledge about bitcoin.

Now, it takes a lot of courage and a solid final decision for someone to be a Bitcoin investor, because it ain't easy as buying at a random moment whenever you feel to and hope to have profits as quickly as possible. You are going to still need your technical analysis for you to figure out when is the right time to buy Bitcoin so you could be a bitcoin investor that will surely have profits in the long run.

I think anyone who just owns bitcoin is an investor. Becoming a bitcoin investor is not too difficult, the more difficult thing is how to make a profit because not everyone who invests is profitable, and most people lose more than gain.
As an investor, you should take the time to improve your knowledge because that is the only way to determine whether you will succeed or fail in this market. Remember that the marketplace is a battlefield and knowledge is a weapon, there is no such thing as getting rich by luck in this marketplace.

I agree that as long as you have money to invest, you can definitely do so. But more than that, assessment of your overall financial capability must be done. Know the rule that when you invest certain amount, you can really afford that amount. Just make sure that all your assets are safe since in todays technology more are getting advance on tricking people and stealing their investments.

[DiMarxist]

You can call yourself a bitcoin investor, as far as you bought bitcoin and owned a bitcoin, but that doesn't means you are fully a bitcoin, if you don't understand and have the acknowledgeable in bitcoin you are not an investor, if you lose in investing in bitcoin, you will stop investing, because you don't have understanding and on patients on the market, you will know the outcome and the income of bitcoin, know the bullish and bearish in the bitcoin,knowledge is very important. And You are still going to  need the technical analysis for you to figure out when is the right time to buy bitcoin and sell, so you could be a bitcoin investor.

[Davidvictorson]

I want to believe that being a bitcoin investor goes more than just buying and  hold bitcoin. There's more to it. There are certain qualities that the individual must or should possess. These qualities include but are not limited to, financial discipline, long-term perspective, high risk tolerance, patience, and diversification. A bitcoin investor could be an individual who handles their wallet by themselves usually in small amounts or an institutional investor who  invests in bitcoin under a company. For example people who invest in MicroStrategy. Basically the end goal is to have huge ROI.
