Topic: Investing in Bitcoin in Student Life - page 14. (Read 2936 times)

It not good to keep your money in any crypto. it is only good if you keep it in BTC because of the liquidity issue.  May cryptocurrency had not established it market yet, they are too volatile without strong liquidity, unlike Bitcoin.  So if ever you wanted to hold your money in the form of cryptocurrency, you better hold it in Bitcoin.

Don't expect too much for profit while holding Bitcoin, even though it is a well-established cryptocurrency, its market is still subject to high fluctuation where there are cases that the price will have a flash crash and or a sudden price surge.  Just make sure you don't panic if you witness the flash crash, Bitcoin has proven that it can recover its market over time.

It was a great option when you have knowledge already of crypto but on the side of OP, well, I encourage you to continue that plan instead of putting in the banks as surely it was affected by inflation.
Even though it was not legal but as long as it was not banned in their country, they can still invest and hold their Bitcoin. Well, the problem is that when converting it to fiat money. But there is a solution to that problem and OP must not focus on it but instead, think about the future and this is one way to help his studies and for his family. He no longer asks his parents for support anymore as he already have some source of income.

Investing is good if you have good knowledge with the venue that you'll going to use, right now we are talking about
crypto, and the risk factor is high compared to other investment.

But everything will depend on how you understand the potential and the risk if you can handle that then it's good to start even in your young age.

Take time to add more knowledge about this venue of investment and use small amount for now and see if how things will work for you.

I also think that it is better to keep my money on crypto rather than Bank, it is not just about security but also the return is far more greater than holding it on bank.
The only thing that concerns me is that how would we explain it when the time comes that we have to exchange our crypto into Fiat and it is illegal in our country?
I am sure that it would be somehow get didected or it would be suspicious.

I really love your courage to hold bitcoin till another ATH and one thing I must tell you is never to listen anyone telling you about bitcoin or even trying to discourage you because I believe since you've already accepted the risk involved then you have to stay away from bad advise because it might influence you to panic and sell without you getting to the period you've chosen.
Lastly don't worry about your bitcoin because I believe if you wanna sell there maybe people who will accept p2p trade from you. As a student you are I will also love you to explore more features about bitcoin to give you the best knowledge and insight to understand the reason of your investment.

I suggest you focus first on your studies more than investing. Investing may be good and profitable but only for those who have high experiences in an investment. However, if you really want to invest, just invest a small amount so that if your investment does not work out, at least you will never face financial problems. And always be open for some losses, as bitcoin investment for newbies is mostly into losing than making profits.

I agree that if it is taking up time from your studies then it is bad, studying and graduating is important if you actually do care about the field you study. I personally did, but I know only a few people in all of my class did, and after we graduated they all did a different job, if you are like that then maybe instead of just graduating without having a thing to show for, you could instead just switch majors and try to find something you could actually do.

I believe that studying for 4 years without having anything to show for in the end is futile. Crypto is not like that, if you could buy and hold until you graduate, even if you do nothing else, you could definitely have some profits by the end and that will help you start your life much better with some money.

Don't rely on what researchers stated and don't put all of your savings into bitcoin. I believe you should only invest what you know you can lose without suffering serious financial hardship. The researchers have been saying these for several times, and most of the time they said the bull run doesn't come at that time, it comes before the time they said or after the time they said. However, just because success usually comes with a risk doesn't mean we shouldn't take precautions for it.
Since you stated that you are still in school, I advise you to divide your income into three equal halves so that you can utilize one portion for studying and the other for other things. Some in bitcoin and the other for your family needs if you're the one providing there needs.
There are still a number of nations where using bitcoin is against the law, therefore I don't think you should take that into consideration and keep using bitcoin.
Yeah, mate, fiat banks have caused many people in the world today to experience financial difficulties. I believe that your decision to choose bitcoin as a means of saving your money is a very wise one. Someone close to you experienced this when he decided to save all of his money in a fiat bank account and then needed the money in an emergency, but was unable to access it. This forced him to take out a loan and negatively impacted his finances.

You are not wrong. Just check out how much you will receive from the bank if you invest your money with them. Invest meaning saving your money.
Lower than 5% annually is the common offer or worse than that. How much will you earn in 10 years of saving money to them for $1000. $50x10=$500.
Yes, that only and we don't even know if an inflation will happen which means your money has lesser value than it was 10 years ago. It sucks to invest with them because they are using your money to invest it too or give loans to other people which makes them profit a lot.
Be the manager yourself, choose Bitcoin. Yes, there's risk but as of now it is lower than years ago because of the support it received from many investors who believes in it.

Saving and investing are two completely different concepts, I hope you understand. Investment can fail, there is no guarantee it will bring you a return, while your savings will never be lost, if any, will be only a small part due to inflation. But what OP did is worth learning because when I was a student, I even needed the help of my family. With his early access to bitcoin while in school, I believe he will have a decent amount of money after graduation, which will help him do many things when he graduates.

It is true that saving money in the bank cannot bring you any good return compared to if you invest the money into bitcoin for long time but as a student you have to be very careful there are many things you need to learn about bitcoin before investing your money in Bitcoin.

Understand that Bitcoin is not a get-rich-quick scheme like all those Ponzi schemes, it takes a lot of time to make money out of Bitcoin so make sure you are investing the money that you are not going to need for a very long period time.

we are all expecting the next bull market but anything can happen and the bull market can take a longer time to get there who knows?

As a student, make sure you don't invest any money that is meant for your studies or your school fees, make sure that you only invest money that you are willing to lose and also learn aboutthe  bitcoin market because we are presently in the bear markets and I expect you to start buying Bitcoin right now  into, do not invest when the price is already in a Bull Phase.

If a teacher read this article, he would say "well done" to you. You must continue like this. Of course, there will be difficult days. What matters is what we are doing to overcome those difficulties. Of course, the end of our efforts will be beautiful. I congratulate you on this. We are all in the Bitcoin world and this world promises us a good life. I hope we reach this life.

You have made a very good move, despite the limitations that your country currently imposes on acquiring Bitcoin. Hopefully that will change for you and your people soon.


This is one of the very reasons that Bitcoin was created - As a safeguard against banking failure. Bitcoin might not necessarily make you money due to the failure of Fiat and the rate of Bitcoin only increasing in regard to fiat weakness, not in regard to purchasing power, however it means you are safe from the fiat failure.

Everyone should be thinking this way in my opinion. Looking at Bitcoin as a safeguard in case money fails and sharply devalues/loses purchasing power quickly, rather than a volatile/risky investment that might succeed in terms of purchasing power/wealth.

it's true that saving money in bitcoin is better than saving in a bank, where we can make a private bank with bitcoin,
for btc 100k$ in 2025 it's just speculation, it can come true it can also fail, but at least we have saved early and it is certain that the profit we will get by looking at btc today is around 27k$ if in 2025 later btc will reach 60k$ we will have how many x times the profit

oh yes I salute you, when you were young ,you were able to manage your finances well, especially when you could help your parents, success is always for you

After he graduates, he will need to think about buying his own home and whatnot, so I don’t think he will be able to invest all that he saved during this time in bitcoin. Right now he has time to try to save money and buy bitcoin, maybe when he finishes his studies, this investment will help him in buying a house. The fact that the OP can pay for his studies and expenses in his student years is excellent, not many teenagers are able to do this, and it can teach him how to handle money much earlier than his peers.

As a student, OP could earn money to care for himself and support his family, which not everyone can do. I have no opinion on his bitcoin investment, but I also want to emphasize your words because I think it is very important to him. As a student, I think savings will be more necessary because, aside from the unexpected events in life, he will have many things to worry about when he graduates, and the money saved can help him. Investing all in bitcoin is good, but what happens when we need money and bitcoin price is falling? We should take that situation into account.

Good for you to start getting into Bitcoin at an early age where you can gain a lot of experience and lessons. Even if you experience losing, you still have the opportunity to start over again and rebuild yourself in investments. It's also a great thing that you know how to allocate the money you earn. Though it's not that I don't have trust in banks since I believe they're still useful and I'll still be needing them in some ways but it's true that the possibility of you earning big by investing in Bitcoin is bigger than letting your money sit in the bank because their interests are so low that it'll take you so many years to get a big interest.

Continue on doing what you've been doing and goodluck on your crypto journey.

Your suggestions are definitely appreciated. If one tries to brighten up one's background from student life, it is certainly appreciable. OP invested in Bitcoin that is absolutely right decision according to his over all financial condition. But he has to be careful about some things. Since Bitcoin is not yet legal in his country, he needs to exercise caution. On the other hand he is a member of a poor family so he has to support the family as well. The way he calculates his earning, he thinks everything will be completed with in the range but something different can happen at any time. In that case he must save some extra money for his family. So that he can away for his investment. He will be able to withdraw his returns whenever he wants as bitcoin getting more strength in the coming days. But if he really wants to wait for that moment in Bitcoin, he will have to patiently invest continuously according to his ability.

It's true that after the next bitcoin halving expected to take place next year, there is a huge possibility it's price will skyrocket very higher than what it is today. Secondly, due to the high rate of inflation affecting the value of fiat currency, bitcoin remains the best option when it comes to long-term investment, and best place to invest our funds rather than saving it in banks.

one year has just passed, and also if your mind was to learn bitcoin you would have learned it since. That is you were not putting your mind to learn bitcoin. To learn bitcoin is not something that you use a full year to hear. Constant four months is okay to learn then another four months to learn the additional information on the blockchain. But you tried shai!

that is the thinking of many people. But be positive with the dealings of bitcoin. Always use the risk as a positive outcome to overcome that mindset.

Exactly, you are correct. Every successful man has faced one problem to another. Success can never come easily like that. There are lot of risk in the process.

Most countries in the world do not adopt bitcoin and that doesn't mean the pro bitcoin fans can not use it. They can use it with p2p.

That is a very idea. Fiat banks are stealing people's money in different ways. Banks are not trustworthy, so what you have done is the best option.
