Beginner questions

[BD Technical]

Hello!



I just wonder, since im completely new to the stock exchange, If I invest 250 dollars, can I loose them if the price goes down? Or do I still hold my share.

Maybe this sounds dumb, but does Bitcoin work the same as a normal share? If I invest in a real stock I probably get to keep my share even if the value is zero?

Does it work the same with Bitcoin shares as well?

Best Regards

Currently, the situation of Bitcoin is not growing as science, you will never be able to eat loss because currently you have more chance of profit in Bitcoin.  An edit price increase that puts you in control of your entire market means an increase in all your prices.  In that case, if you want, you can edit 250 dollars in stock exchange because if you fix binary now or if you do this gaming, your loss and chances are very high.  When is the current situation where you can buy bitcoin if you want, your profit will increase a little bit because if the profit is you will increase your income and you can say student?  This is my personal.  I said in that case you should invest as you wish.

Hello!

I´ve been interested in trading crypto for quite some time now and finally joined eToro.

I just have a question, I noticed Bitcoin have been doing really good the last 6 months and I now want to invest a very small sum of 250 dollars.

I just wonder, since im completely new to the stock exchange, If I invest 250 dollars, can I loose them if the price goes down? Or do I still hold my share.

Maybe this sounds dumb, but does Bitcoin work the same as a normal share? If I invest in a real stock I probably get to keep my share even if the value is zero?

You know, in fact, I know some institutional investors who invested their capital in the gold market, and when they found out there was a bull run coming to Bitcoin or a halving was coming, these investors decided to release their gold. shares in the market, and they first moved it to Bitcoin because they saw that the profit they could get was bigger compared to staying in gold.

Not all gold capitalists did this; there were others who pulled out and still left some gold. My only point is that its ROI is faster than Bitcoin. Then one more thing: Bitcoin is actually proven and tested.

[crwth]

You have the wrong idea that Bitcoin is in a stock exchange, it is in an exchange but cryptocurrency exchanges, not in stocks because BTC is not stocks. For eToro, I think they are treating it as stocks. Is that why you have set that?

For your question with $250, you would lose that value depending on the percentage of losses that you have. In spot markets, it would be directly proportional, like if it goes down 10%, you would lose $25, something like that. If $250 is all your position.

You can purchase BTC and HODL it on your own even if it's zero in value. The digital part is that you still own it.

I think it works the same way for both in the way I view it even though they have different mechanisms like bitcoin is stored in a wallet and the term is hodling. Yes if the value of bitcoin drops from its ATH, you will still have the unit of bitcoin you are hodling in your wallet though with reduced value just like you know of shares. Like if a company's share drops in value or price, those share holders still hold the amount of shares they bought and own with the company.

So the value for both access may depreciate as price fall and may appreciate as price increase but the units remain the same despite dropping or rising. For example if you have 2 btc in your wallet, it remains that way but with fluctuations of increase or decrease in the value but not in how many units that you have and that is how it is with company shares.

It's practically known that if you Invest on a high capital probably in expensive real stocks, the inventor is expected to sell on a higher price. All that's involved there is making profits.
So if you invest such amount of $250 at this halving, you're definitely not counting a lost because bitcoin hasn't met to it's bull run yet neither has it hit its ATH. But I would advice you to apply the DCA if you don't trust the system so much due to the fact that you're a beginner.

[Natsuu]

Yes and the amount of bitcoin you hold depends on its value. If you buy btc at $1 then you have 1 btc but if you bought btc pricing at $100 but you only invested $1 then you’ll just own 0.01 btc  you can buy and sell bitcoin at your own liking depending on market conditions

you can either invest short-term or long-term, short-term takes advantage of quick changes in the prices while long-term lets you hold no matter what happens because the coin might increase again right after and etc just pick what kind of investor are you and set your goals accordingly

Right. Short-term investing is like catching quick waves in the market for fast profits. You're in and out, trying to ride the price changes. Long-term investing is more of a chill surf where you hold onto assets for the long haul, not getting bothered by the market's short-term ups and downs. It's about believing in an asset's potential to grow over time. Your pick depends on how much risk you're cool with, your money goals and how hands-on you want to be with your investments. Its a matter of priorities

[bluebit25]

If you buy Bitcoin on eToro, you actually own Bitcoin, not a futures contract. Therefore, a decrease in Bitcoin price will directly affect the value of your investment. And the price drop only affects the current value of the investment, you can still hold Bitcoin and wait for the price to increase again in the future.

You also need to learn more about the volatility and opportunities/risks in each investment market to have a more honest view when comparing between them. One thing I feel the OP needs to consider is the issue of stocks having an intrinsic value based on the company's business, Bitcoin has no intrinsic value. And remember that the cryptocurrency market is highly volatile, only invest what you can afford to lose.

[|MINER|]

Bitcoin is a very trusted and highly demanded coin.  Investing in Bitcoin is seen as very profitable.  Bitcoin is not a meme coin or a shit coin. There is no way to lose everything here.  Every time we talk about e-investing, we talk about investing in Bitcoin. Because if you invest with patience, the price will decrease but sometimes it will increase. And if you can invest $250 and hold, hopefully you will get a good result during the bull run. As far as I know the price of Bitcoin is going up a lot now. Those who held Bitcoin have already profited a lot.

Not even close to a dumb question. What happens is that when you buy Bitcoin and the value goes down, it will worth less but the exact quantity you bought will still be available to you. And even when the price is going up, the exact amount of Bitcoin you had from the onset is the same you’d have, it’s the worth that increases and gives more money.

Yes, you'd keep your bitcoin shares even if the price of bitcoin reaches zero. There's no liquidation. You can keep and transact your coins in anticipation of it being valuable again.
Buying bitcoin means you get a hold of a chunk of this limited digital asset. So, you keep on holding to bitcoin even if the price goes down.
Unlike stocks of companies, there are no liquidation or increase in supply. The price of bitcoin is determined by the supply and demand.
As more people want to have bitcoin and it is limited in supply, the price of bitcoin would keep increasing. It would increase till there is demand.

If you buy a house, regardless of its valuation in terms of fiat, you still have the house and you can do what you want with it, bitcoin works in the exact same way, once you buy the bitcoin you can afford, you can store it in your wallet and keep it for as long as you want.

However keep in mind that bitcoin is a volatile asset, and even if its performance has been impressive during the previous months, there is no way to be sure if such behavior will continue or if instead a downward movement is coming.

[Poker Player]

The OP is very green on the subject and I do not predict a good future for him. If you are going to trade $250 and you are asking those questions you are going to lose it all TackleBash.

For starters, do you have a good emergency fund of at least 3 months of expenses saved aside from this? If not start building it and start putting in that $250.

You have to know that no matter how much trading is promoted, 95% of traders or more end up losing their money. For that it is better that you dedicate yourself to investing for the long term, but for that you need patience and better information.

[Negotiation]

Bitcoin is top of the line in terms of security the demand for bitcoin is always high in the market and is a currency with high profits. No specific organization or government controls so there is no security problem. There is no extra cost to trade bitcoins you can do everything within your limits you can buy and hold bitcoins according to your ability if you want you can sell it again no problem. But investors prefer to hold bitcoin for long term. Slowly bitcoin is gaining legitimacy worldwide people will use this coin system to make all kinds of purchases in the near future.

There is no worrying if you invest in bitcoin and hold it for long term. Even if the price drops down to zero value, you can still say that you still have your investment. However, you need to hold it longer until the price recovers and reaches its new resistance level. Until you decide not to sell your bitcoin, you will never lost your position.

However, different thing when it comes to stocks. They have this mandatory delisting when those stocks become worthless anymore to its investors. With this, the investor loses eventually his investments when they drop down to zero value. Which is totally opposite from bitcoin investment.

If you sell it when the price goes down you will obviously lose your money. When the price goes down, the best thing you can do is hold it until the price goes up again. That way you will not experience losses. You need to know that the crypto market is very volatile. Therefore, carry out an in-depth analysis before investing.

Why did you choose e-toro, I read that the fees are high

When you make a deposit or withdrawal in a currency other than USD, conversion fees are applied. Diamond members benefit from an automatic exemption from these conversion fees. Platinum and Platinum+ members benefit from a 50% reduction. A flat fee of $5 is also charged for withdrawals, and a monthly inactivity fee of $10 is charged after 12 months without logging in to your account. Although these are not fees charged by eToro, each transaction is subject to the market spread when a position is opened or closed. The spread is market-based and is invariably applied by all banks and brokers.

https://www.lyon-entreprises.com/entreprise/info/les-frais-etoro-expliques-en-details

In addition to a failure rate of over 75%, eToro's cost structure remains high compared to most competitors. Higher trading fees, mainly visible in spreads, the difference between bid and ask prices, allow eToro to market its services without additional costs.

Traders should be aware that every broker runs a business and must ensure revenue growth. Traders should therefore be wary of any advertisement for a low-cost or free service, as brokers usually compensate for the absence of visible fees elsewhere. This article will explain eToro's fees, provide examples and comparisons, and offer a conclusion to enable interested traders to properly assess whether eToro's products and services justify the high price environment.

Unlike many other brokers, eToro charges a flat fee of $5 (for withdrawal), regardless of payment processors, withdrawal amount or geographic location.

The minimum withdrawal is $30, and only verified accounts can request one. Traders with an account balance of less than $30 cannot withdraw funds unless they wish to close it, as a minimum of $35 is required, i.e. the $30 withdrawal request plus eToro's $5 withdrawal fee.

After twelve months of inactivity, eToro levies an inactivity fee of $10 per month until the trader logs into the account, or the balance reaches $0. Most traders are unlikely to keep a funded trading account inactive for twelve months, so this unnecessary cost is avoided. No open positions will be closed to cover this fee.

Trading isn't easy, you have to learn first, and I'm not sure that e-toro is the cheapest on the market. Wouldn't DCA be better to start with, while you learn to trade?

Your question : a bitcoin still a bitcoin. His value can be 10cts or 10 000 dollars.

A company's shares may be worth nothing at all if the company goes bankrupt and disappears altogether.

I would guess if it goes to zero then it would be pretty darn near impossible for it to recover, but yes you are right in the other sense. It means that while we may have gone up these days, it doesn't mean that we are going to stay like that for a long time, we need to arrange a situation where it has to be quite normal for us to accept it as it is. This means that we are going to end up with a situation where it won't be all that easy to handle.

I personally believe that the best way to go would be just keep holding it as well, no matter if there is a correction or not, people are overreacting to the possibility of correction but it's really not a big deal at all. I believe that it would be something normal and would not have any trouble to wait it out and then let it go up again.

Does it work the same with Bitcoin shares as well?

Did you mean the real Bitcoin or Bitcoin ETFs? Bitcoin ETFs works same like stock.

But if you talk about Bitcoin, that's completely different. It's true in case Bitcoin worth $0, you can still own your coins. But if stock or ETFs went to $0, you doesn't have your share again because the stock exchange already delisted the stock.

It means you own nothing and you can't do anything, but in Bitcoin you can send your coins regardless the price is and no one can control it.

Okey thank you for the simple explanation!

So if invest 250 dollars and the price of bitcoin lowers by for example 300 dollars, will I still hold my share? Whatever the value might be of it by then.

Thank you, maybe it sounds stupid, but Im bad with math aswell.

Yes, definitely you would still own a certain amount of Bitcoin, which is the amount you got when you bought it at the ratio of; 1btc = $61k, but the value of that amount of Bitcoin would have reduced drastically, definitely less than 250 dollars.

I think that's the maths. But mind you .. that's not trading since you eat to own shares, that hodling... And the probability of earning way more than the value you purchased after at least 2 years of hodling is high... So if you can wait for that long, it won't be a loss anymore.

Maybe this sounds dumb, but does Bitcoin work the same as a normal share? If I invest in a real stock I probably get to keep my share even if the value is zero?

Yup! just like stock wherein you have shares.  This time, you have coin.  Hence if you have 1 btc, even the price goes down you will still have 1 btc at the end of the day.  The only thing that will differ is the price of the btc (just like stock when the price of the share goes down then your money will also go down).

Btc is on the bullish side right now.  Hoping that you will get to ride with it.

If you are now interested in buying Bitcoin, Bitcoin investment will be your best decision you have to conduct research before investing in Bitcoin. Now you may wonder why I am saying this to you about conducting own research Doing this may help you to understand the Bitcoin Ecosystem and you surely learn many things through your own research you have to give it time while doing ow research. I would say if you want to learn and earn you have to do research first.

Besides this, you may also have to learn about Investing techniques Like DCA, Lump-Sum, and some more because if you want to earn maximum profit your investment strategy will matter a lot. The best investing Strategy is DCA(Doller cost averaging) DYRO. In conclusion, I would say First learn, then Earn. If you do not know about the Bitcoin environment/ecosystem you are just doing gambling without any knowledge.
