Topic: 18, holding my bitcoin and looking forward :) - page 6. (Read 771 times)
This gives me so much hope, all the kids out there should buy bitcoin and keep holding as long as possible. Do you realize how long an 18 year old could keep their coins? I mean we are talking about (on average) somewhere over 50 years, could be as long as 60 years and more. In a world where we have 4 year cycles, that is 15 cycle, so think about how big bitcoin could get. One person could just get one single purchase at 18, and no matter how much they get (unless its like 10 dollars) they could literally be wealthy by the time they die. That is a huge huge amount and they could be very well rich while they are living as well, in case they would need something that is life or death situation.
I am gonna start deciding to sell it at end of 2024 , but I guess i could wait till end of 2025.
It may not really be at the end of the year 2024 or you waiting till 2025 but once you achieve what us close to $100,000 or more after the next year halving is good enough for you to sell out what you have invested, after a new all time high comes high volatility for more bear and bull.
Hopefully bitcoin can save me from this crazy inflation and break me out of this financial crisis.
You've already made a good decision having $29,000 worth of bitcoin in savings and only $3,000 in your bank for emergencies, your decisions aren't bad, just keep holding till then, bitcoin will provide you with every necessary results needed for your investment.
You have made some good achievements and I am happy for you. Because you are still 18 and have 1 BTC in your holdings. And I am older than you and don't have even 0.1 BTC yet. But I am making some savings to make that possible. And I am very impressed with your motivation about getting money in your hands at the age of 18.
Because, today's generation only thinks about, clothes, Dates, fashion, cars, etc., etc. But you might be the next Iman Ghadzi, Biaheza, or Jordan Welch. IDK what you will become but make sure to encourage others too.
Coming back to your statements, I prefer you to not to sell BTC in 2014 and should wait for the next bull run at least. It's not financial advice (hmm I think it is) but I'm saying so don't take it as financial advice. And DYOR before selling on my advice. I said it because in Bull Run BTC might touch or maybe cross $100k.
So, be consistent and be hardworking to increase your saving portfolio from $3000 to another $30,000.

I flip stuff for cash part time regularly to make some extra cash
I have 1 Bitcoin @ 29k & I keep about $3000 in cash in my bank as emergency fund
I have 3 months study break so I am most probably gonna take on a job to fund the bitcoin , trying to fund as much as I can before the halving in 2024
I have been researching on bitcoin for a few months now and by researching I meant like the purpose of bitcoin and I see how it is so much better than fiat(cash) . The only thing that can stop bitcoin is probably the government. After understanding the purpose of bitcoin it gave me more confidence on buying it and not seeing it as a 'investment' but more of a freedom digital currency.
I am gonna start deciding to sell it at end of 2024 , but I guess i could wait till end of 2025.
Hopefully bitcoin can save me from this crazy inflation and break me out of this financial crisis.
If you guys have any tips , do let me know ... I would be very grateful for it.

If you sell in 2025 just be sure to buy back on the crash in 2026.
Or you can just hold onto all the bitcoin you buy for the long term so that by the time you are in your 30s you will be wealthy, and not have to worry about selling and buying back.
I'd say that you're doing a good job and at that age, only a few can manage to take risks because all they want is to secure their future. While you, you're basically doing the same thing but understands more the risk that you're taking.

They can't but even they have the authority to ban Bitcoin, give sanctions to exchanges. It has been proven that with or without them, Bitcoin will continue as long as there are miners and there's the demand.I am gonna start deciding to sell it at end of 2024 , but I guess i could wait till end of 2025.

Sell when you are satisfied. And when I say satisfied, you're in profit and don't be hasty in getting those gains. The right time will come. Hopefully bitcoin can save me from this crazy inflation and break me out of this financial crisis.

Hay mate, let me ask you a quick question, since you put a time frame to your sell position, what happens in the event the Bitcoin price at that time become lower than your bought position?
I know how unpredictable Bitcoin has been, but it is important to note that Bitcoin supplies reduce at each half.

Tip: don't dox yourself on the Internet. You're putting yourself in danger for absolutely no reason. The only thing that can stop bitcoin is probably the government.
The millions of attempts from governments across the world should have convinced you it's unstoppable already. I am gonna start deciding to sell it at end of 2024 , but I guess i could wait till end of 2025.
When selling it, be careful and use a peer-to-peer exchange. Centralized exchanges like Binance have gone full anti-bitcoin in the last years. Don't ever submit KYC in those places, and sell in small portions.

I don't know your nationality, but if you're holding one BTC like you said, which is over $29k, then that is a huge sum of money in many countries, especially in third world countries, so i don't think someone in financial crisis would be able to accumulate one BTC. You also said you are 18 years old, and it is surprising how you could accumulate one BTC at that age and also have over $3000 in the bank from 'flipping stuff for cash".If you guys have any tips , do let me know ... I would be very grateful for it.
You can start by telling us the wallet you are using to hold your BTC and also how safely you backed up your seed phrase.

Starting it young to engage with any investment is a good thing already. And with your case I'm glad that you know things already such as not putting all of your money into this technology simply because you want to earn profit. Indeed this blockchain is a profitable asset and a useful digital currency as we all know but problem arises from an investor's mindset. Some are having too high hopes and that is why they are going all out on their first investment, which worries them 'coz it is all or nothing scenario. On the same instance they do tend to panic most of the time which affects their decisions on their investment. But Bitcoin won't be enough to break financial crisis and inflation related issues 'coz that is related to a country's economy and you're just you. schooling in private college

Yes bitcoin is a great store of value and this has made it an asset that hedges against inflation, so it is a very good investment plan if you’re holding for that long.
Concerning it breaking you out of a financial crisis, if I guess well you mean it making you rich. I would say there are two ways to this, many people are of the belief that it is not a get rich quick scheme but surely with its volatility it is also a great return on investment. So getting you rich definitely depends on the amount you invested. It has the potential to grow your investment into 2x or more your invested amount. So base on your determined date of taking profit which I would also advise you should state it out on price tag, you could be able ti double your investment then.
My tip is just like what Upgrade00 pointed out, the security of your funds is definitely a priority I wound advise you take this amount off anything exchanges and purchase a hardware wallets. I would have simply said a cold wallet but your current investment amount huge that a hardware wallet shouldn’t be that expensive to you. Or you can just setup an airgapped of any prominent cold wallet like electrum.

Don't marry the bag, sell it when you know that you've multiplied your profit to a staggering percentage, you will always be able to get back to bitcoin even if you sell your bitcoin because the price will eventually correct itself so just keep a watch on what's happening on the market and the price of bitcoin so you know what to do next. If you're unfamiliar with the saying that I've said, I'm basically telling you to sell your bitcoin when the price is pumping and the sentiment of the market is that it's nearing the peak, aim for that peak when you sell. 
Instead of putting a time frame to sell why not have a price target. Rather than planning to sell in Kate '24 or early '25 you can target when Bitcoin reaches $100k in value or more?
This is a suggestion cause the price does not always rise at the time we expect, as Bitcoin matures the cycle changes slightly to adjust to the newer investors and response from traders to market conditions.
• Do not store on an exchange
• Use an open source hardware wallet or software wallet on an airgapped device
• 1 BTC is a significant amount, you should not be telling strangers on the internet or offline how much Bitcoin you're worth.
• Have a savings plan - https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/sss-a-sane-and-simple-bitcoin-savings-plan-345065
