There are several things one need to know before investing in Bitcoin.

1. Most persons thought that Bitcoin investment is a get rich quick scheme where you invest today and become a billionaire tomorrow, you must not see Bitcoin investment in such perspective for you must be patient to hodl for Bitcoin investment for a longer period of time.

2. To be successful in Bitcoin investment you must make your discretionary income readily available for it help you not sell out your Bitcoin hodling when basic needs may arise for it can easily be settled with your discretionary income.

3. Also try and have a Non constodial wallets.

4. As a newbie or new investors you can adopt the DCA strategy which will help you to accumulate more Bitcoin in different price level either weekly or monthly as the case may be and hodl for longer periods of time like 4-10 years and above.

5. Also having a basic knowledge about Bitcoin or crypto how it works before investing can be of a great advantage because going into what you don't have basic knowledge about can be too risky because Bitcoin investment is risky as well due to it volatile nature.

from this link, it is very important to know how something works before going into where as going deep into research to know the steps to take to be successful in your investment.
I have read many Posts in this forum which indicates that many people don't know what to do many business persons fail in their business cause they don't follow procedures some just venture into it cause others are making success. Recently I saw a post where the writer was asking what should he do if someone tells him they would hold him responsible for their lose if they invest in Bitcoin. Bitcoin and investment is not something to force someone into.

Today I took my time to make this research of Bitcoin investment and I found this so I decided to share.

THE HALVING AND BITCOIN MINING: 3 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE INVESTING IN THIS EXPLOSIVE INDUSTRY.

As at early 2018 when I heard about cryptocurrency following the 2018 cryptocurrency crash most especially the Bitcoin so I was eager to know more about how the system works so I go online and do more of research which YouTube and other channels have been of help then so this seriously helped me to sharpen and reshaped my mindset and how I look at the crypto world in general. In a couple of months of thorough research and dedications I make my first investment on Bitcoin, dogecoin, Ethereum and Litecoin fast-forward I held the asset for about 3 years & few months and the ROI really worth it, all the investment did very well I could still recall vividly dogecoin price hit 0.682/$ as at May 2021 following the remarks made by Tesla CEO Elon Musk by January 28, dogecoin increases by 339% is among my best investment that year.

I was able to make all decisions because I took my time to make a proper research about how the system works and understand the risk involved and readily to take the outcome of it. Having proper knowledge how things work can't be over-emphasized.

Below are some of the things I think you should put in place before investing in Bitcoin or any crypto in general;

1. Get educated about the investment

2. Know the Risk involved (crypto market is highly volatile)

3. Be security wise because a lot of crypto wallet as been compromised. Know how to safely store and protect your asset. I will advice you to store your asset in a private digital wallet e.g Trust wallet, Blockchain, Ton wallet, Meta mask etc and make sure to revoke any third party site connected to your wallet after use to avoid loss of asset. And you can also use physical cold wallet eg Tangem, Ledger Nano S plus they are highly secured just make sure you keep your phrase words for your private digital wallet secured let no third party gain access to it or else you you may lose your asset and protect your physical cold wallet by all means to avoid lost.
4. Beware of some taxes that come with buy and transacting a cryptocurrency in some region eg Japan.
5. Be updated about things happening around(fundamentals news): this may prevent you from lost because some exchange may delist some instrument and if you are not conversant with the news you may hold for years and have no where to sell.

Sometimes people wey dey give this newcomers orientation dey make am look so certain that immediately them put their money for crypto (Bitcoin) e go guarantee them better profit when obviously everything about investment is so far from that. Bitcoin investment takes time to yield profits time don pass wey the thing be dey blow all of a sudden most at the time people dey relate am to the case of those early adopters that bought Bitcoin when the price was as low as  a dollar.

A lot of people jumped into the crypto market with the excitement from the past stories they might heard and maybe get trapped in the wrong path of loss
There is one slogan that is very paramount in the Forum which is, “doing your own research” and this slogan simply means that, irrespective of whatever information you get about anything especially in the cryptocurrency market, you should always conduct your own personal research about it because you’ll be held accountable for any loss of encountered.

I isn’t go through the link but  it is always advisable that there should be a very proper and thorough research about anything investment and money especially these digital currencies as it might be difficult to trace if any mistake is made.

Though your writing isn't bad, but when I saw this post, I initially thought of something more robust, something more easier to understand to a newbie or a total novice, but like this, it will be quite difficult for a novice to understand perfectly well what you are trying to say, because most novice and newbies don't even know what is mining, so to me, the information you are trying to send out is not that clear.

So too me, if am advicing anyone on this your topic here, which is three things to know before investing in Bitcoin. it would;

* Bitcoin is not a get rich quick scheme: you can't just invest in Bitcoin and expect to be a millionaire overnight just as most newbies think.

* Bitcoin investment is not a risk free investment: most people think that once they invest in Bitcoin they are sure of a return, no, it's actually risky just as every investment out there, due to it volatility.

* We should always store it in a self custodian wallet: this is one of the most important thing to know before investing in Bitcoin, so you wouldn't lose your asset.

Yeah Bitcoin investment is not the kind of investment that would yield immediately that is why so many people had advised those who want to invest newly on Bitcoin to invest what they can afford to lose and make sure there is still something sustainable to hold and also get something that would get you money regularly if you want to survive Bitcoin investment.

If so, there may be obstacles in the field of investment. People are generally more attracted to stability. Financially stable investment decisions especially. But Bitcoin can give you high profits by holding for a long time. I think Bitcoin is a risky investment for short term traders because it is a volatile asset that can fluctuate in value. Bitcoin investment can be very profitable for you only when you can align your investment with a long time horizon.

If you don't understand a business its best you just don't bother venturing into them because you may loose your money because you you wouldn't know how well to handle the business to the point of controlling you. some  persons don't even wait to understand the business before they eventually venture into it, they just do buy what they have heard over the years how someone else eventually told them how they succeeded with bitcoin, they get inpatient and not want to get full details into how they made the profit off such.

Bitcoin itself is a normal risk just like every other risk involvement and the actual successful people on this earth are actually the risk takers so when it comes to risk it's not something anyone can avoid but the issues is that you have to just limit some certain risk and in the field of crypto investment buying of crazy altcoins would be the crazy risk am talking about.

These are exactly how a correction should be rather than total condemnation and casting out when we all know that it’s not always easy to grow and kiss hung from his profile and his post, it seems op is a wanting and willing to learn and I just love the way you first boosted up his courage and politely corrected the user without condemnation.

@op, I could see how much effort you added in this and I’m indeed impressed but most times you should preview your post and read it like a guest to the topic so you could make some corrections if there be any .
Your topic wasn’t actually saying same thing with what you wrongs in the main thread which makes it seems you’re not sure of what you’re doing.

Nah true you talk mate, those wey they dear to take risk really dey behind I swr. Nothing wey no dey risky for this world, so why person go also fear to risk em money for Bitcoin investment? Wey be say many gamblers dey risk watin no good for gamble.
No be everything risk wey person go take buy it's good to take the risk wey dey for Bitcoin investment because no body dey control am, and make we also know say even if Bitcoin dip today tomorrow e go still sky rocket again.

Do everything possible to grow your capital before going into BTC investment, which is very important to newbies because it will help them to buy BTC easily when bear market occur, which is the popular season many people use to take a bold step to buy BTC from the market.

You must have the knowledge of BTC before going into the investment, which is another advantage that will make you last in your BTC investment because you will know the different between bull run and bear run which are very important to BTC investors in the community.

Ensure you know the right wallet to use to store your BTC before going into BTC investment, because some people have loss everything they stored in their wallets because they didn't use electrum wallet which is among the solid wallet.

No one will ever lose interest if they understand what it means, bitcoin is not just an investment, bitcoin is another source of making money and for anything concerning capital you have to be careful, the reason why some people fail in terms of investing in bitcoin is because they don’t understand how it is before investing in it, everything needs to be study before going into it, some people invest in bitcoin just because they heard about the profit and as an investor you don’t need have to rush in terms of investment in any cryptocurrency.

The wallet is the most important thing to secure when you are holding a coin, having a good strong and trusted wallet is very important in crypto, and for those who complain about Bitcoin that if they lose their money they will hold the person who introduced bitcoin to them responsible, I don’t think those people know what they are doing because investing in bitcoin is not by force you have to understand it before deciding to invest in it or not.

[AYOBA]

The bitcoin investment is all about having enough knowledge understanding, because the problem most of people’s is that they want to be the successful person in investment pushing themselves into bitcoin investments and they don’t to lean to have an experience about, and no one can be come a successful person in this life without those three things we mentioned earlier and is not only the bitcoin investments is all about every business knows the main key point of business which are the capital.

There some people that they will know get capital that they will establish the business and they will introduce themselves into any business and the bitcoins investment is like, because a person can know just and take loans and scarify all money into the bitcoins investment what if the you lose the money to pay back this loan will be issued, so in this case is good to use the amount of that we can afford to lose.

Truly i found it very annoying when i see people throw shame and condemnation on someone in a harsh manner because most persons don't late that way. When you say things to them like that they become ashamed and find it difficult to continue in the forum. I think there is a proper way to talk to people like that and Bariku has done well to talk to him and not just correct him. He provided the right information to how bitcoin investment should be done.

It is the most common mistake newbies make. Their discussion tends to contradict what they have written on the topic. On second thought, it's not supposed to be so. I think someone is supposed to know what they would want to share or talk about before even drafting a topic from it.

 I think that sometimes, we even forget that this place is forum and na place to learn and help each other understand a common ground to learn everything about Bitcoin but some people think that there is superiority when it comes to knowledge and they will quick to bash you when you make a small mistake or when you don't know something but it's not supposed to be like that, we should learn to correct without insult and accept mistakes without been angry.

The local board is even the best place to make friends and help out with proper information and not bash someone. I see other local boards help their fellow members literally in everything concerning Bitcoin and this forum but here are we trying to do competition with each other, that's bad.

from this link, it is very important to know how something works before going into where as going deep into research to know the steps to take to be successful in your investment.
I have read many Posts in this forum which indicates that many people don't know what to do many business persons fail in their business cause they don't follow procedures some just venture into it cause others are making success.

The first step every wise person takes when venturing into a new activity is to gather as much useful information as possible from research and consultation of those already successful in the field so as to be fully armed with plenty information which informed decisions can be drawn from.

Recently I saw a post where the writer was asking what should he do if someone tells him they would hold him responsible for their lose if they invest in Bitcoin. Bitcoin and investment is not something to force someone into..

He shouldn't allow that to happen by simply telling this clients how volatile the market is and the importance of investing with their spare funds. Judging from the impression of those people, they are about to invest with their emergency fund and it should be discouraged.

Secondly, he should make them aware that he doesn't control the market and Bitcoin investment is totally the decision of the investor. Therefore, he should not serve as a guarantor of any kind.
