Thanks! I am in Ireland though, so Bank transfer takes way too long and is very expensive..
If I were in Europe, I would probably buy at Bitstamp. Once you've seen your investment go up 50% or more in a month, you'll forget about the bank transfer fees.
Beware of these newbie mistakes:
-- Buying in a panic at an all-time high (ATH), just before the correction that always follows. You get a better price during or after a correction.
-- Selling after the correction, when you should be buying.
-- Selling early in a run up to lock in profits. That's how you miss out on the large gains.
-- Attempting to day trade the volatility. You tend to be in fiat during the major price run ups.
-- Holding coins or fiat long term at exchanges or online wallets. You risk them getting hacked. You should store your coins on an encrypted wallet under your own personal control.
I recommend "buy low and hold forever," where "low" is a price at least 10% below the recent High.
