I'm planning on getting a fraction of a bitcoin. Maybe about 1/4 or 1/8 BTC just to fill my wallet with something. Is now a good time to do so?
Actually, Every time is a good time to buy bitcoins, Considering that it is increasing timely so the sooner the better.
There is no way to tell for certain. But I would suggest you to buy now, as the price is also increasing in a stable manner, so profitable for short-term trading, I guess. Its going wonders in minutes, and I have seen it grow for a long time from the middle of this year. The halving comes much later, so if you can buy and save until then, you are in for a great profit. Really your choice, though. But some factors to consider are the news of Bitcoin in China, and Donald Trump becoming President of USA, they are some chief factors and these factors are going to increase the price of Bitcoins soon enough.
The price performance of the bitcoin is quite good. It does not rise a lot in a day or two. it is rising quite slowly.
Yeah and personally I like that growth rather than a sudden fall or sudden rise, sometimes I feel that we should buy as many bitcoins as possible whenever we have spare money or fiat and just hold them (yeah its hard to not spend them since gambling waits like a open mouth crocodile ) but if you succeed in holding them you will earn a lot in future.
Yes there are many temptations out there that's why sometimes we can't help spending it however if you truly have a goal you will sacrifice that short period of pleasure for your goal to be realized and successful. So just throw away your not so productive desires and just hold onto your coins because it has a higher chance to be profitable
If you don't have any bitcoins your wallet just get some coin for you and fill your wallet, but don't buy bitcoin more which you cannot afford because nobody don't know how the price will be in next hour, as per now the price is good and may be many people are predicting definitely bitcoin price will increase.
Yeah it will be better to just buy with your spare money because this is a investment it has its risks so if you don't have that spare money you gotta earn it yourself.
Well its an investment you chose so its a common thing that you will believe its profitable.
