I don't know, I think these freebies aren't really worth the effort, unless you happen to find something really good, which doesn't happen too often.

Time spent on this kind of stuff could be put to so much better use, perhaps learn a valuable skill which you could then offer in return for Bitcoin.

If I had to choose between spending a week looking for giveaways or other free crypto-related stuff or spend that time learning how to build a website or programming, I'd choose the latter. It's a far better investment of my time.

Although I have a comfortable trading/investment portfolio and I do have a full time day job, I still make more money from shitcoin airdrops and giveaways than in my day job, a lot more.

If you also do some bounties, you can make really good money.

Check out how much it is worth now NEM, Decred and Ripple airdrops.

how much initial investment? It depends on the person, which is the amount you are willing to spend to get the initial experience and you must be willing to give up on failure. It's like tuition when you study any subject. so, it's depended on you to decide how much money it is. but you should only spend small money because you may have to do so many times.

The ideal initial amount is 0 (zero), you earn some coins in airdrops, giveaways or doing some simple tasks online and then you build your portfolio from there.

That's how you really learn to navigate in bitcoinland.

If you have enough money to invest, money your can afford to lose, then just buy bitcoin every month, sit on it, and in a few years you'll have a nice sum of money.

Is it really possible for newbies to earn any significant amount of coins through airdrops or giveaways? I mean actual Bitcoin, not some obscure ICO that gives away a few of their tokens.

I tried some faucets and stuff myself when I first started, but quickly found out that they weren't worth the effort and I just bought some coins for a couple of hundred dollars after a few days.

I've never lost any, so it can't be too hard for a newbie to learn about Bitcoin after making a small investment.

Though this was before the fees were so high, so I guess you could make some mistakes with that now.

Of course it is, just keep accumulating and don't expect to retire after a month or a year, but after 2 or 3 years, those accumulated coins will be worth quite an amount of money, of course it requires to learn how to trade, don't keep shitcoins forever, but some are good projects and value will increase a lot.

Yes we have many coins in the market, but not all coins are good to invest. To compare good coins, we have a lot of shitcoins. These shit coins will operate by some group of people these people will always try to cheat new investors. So don't look the price of the coin. Check the project and invest after 2 or 3 years you will get good returns.

It seems to me that if you have no experience in investing then the best option for you would be training on a demo account. You should always remember that in order for someone to earn money on the stock exchange someone has to lose them.

investing comes with great risk so if you really want to do it, invest only what can you afford to loss. there is always up and down so be ready for the loss and gain. it is better to invest a small amount first and it would be great if you have knowledge in trading.

Hello Bitcoin users! So i've decided to pull the trigger and set myself a coinbase account to start investing in Bitcoin and other cryptocurrency. I'm excited explore this new finance endeavor and by doing so I would like to get some initial knowledge. Everyone is welcome to chime in on this but what are you guys' opinion for someone like me starting out would be an ideal amount of investment.

I know for the most part majority will probably advise to start on what I'm comfortable with however I'm mainly looking for an ideal quantifiable range based on how much is Bitcoin is going for or other cryptocurreny for that matter. What's too little and what's too much for someone whose in the beginning stages of investing. Thank you.

Are you planning on bitcoin long term holding or will do trades regularly? If you plan on long term holding then I suggest that after you buy bitcoin at Coinbase, transfer it to a bitcoin wallet wherein you control your private keys and no one controls your funds but you. Desktop and Hardware wallets will do. Examples are: https://bitcoin.org/en/choose-your-wallet . If you plan to do trades based on your instincts then you have no choice but to deal with trading platforms. Take note that once you used an trading site, you don't control your funds there so risk of losing is possible but it's not wrong to trust them.

Ok what's more. Learn all the risks along the way. You don't need to study that much as basic knowledge is enough since some things will be automatically learn as you move forward.

BTC to the moon is inevitable...

nobody can possibly tell you "how much"! because it depends on you and how much money you have and how much of it are you willing to invest.
maybe you are rich and your starting amount can be 1 million dollar.
or maybe you are poor and can only invest 20 bucks.
or in the middle

what matters is that you first learn about bitcoin, then understand the risks involving your investment and then invest what you can afford to lose.

I'd suggest you initially experiment with an amount you're willing to part with for an indefinite period of time. You can use that as your testing ground until you have a stronger grasp / clearer goal in mind regarding what you want to get out of investing in cryptos (and how you plan to do it). If there's an ideal, quantifiable range or amount to invest, I think it would vary greatly depending on the individual, and can change based on several factors. Some might include how risk-averse an individual is, how much insight or trading experience they have, their amount of income, savings, expendable funds available, etc.
