Is it the right time to invest in Bitcoin?
All my friends are talking about cryptocurrencies, but I still can't wrap my head around it. What would you recommend for someone who has no previous experience? Do any of you have resources that you can recommend to me that will explain cryptocurrencies in the shortest and most simple way?
If you have any success stories you would like to share, I would be very grateful if I could benefit from them as well...
While everyone suggesting you other sources to read. I find it boring to read long articles to learn something. Instead, I always try to see the summary before I read something. If I find it interesting, I try to read it in detail.
Back to your questions. Is it the right time to invest in Bitcoin?
I will say yes!
It's never let to invest in Bitcoin because we are still in the early stage (see the image below)
Keep stacking, we're still early.
As a beginner, you must know that all cryptocurrencies and Bitcoin are different. Bitcoin is decentralized; No one can control it. Most other altcoins are centralized. They can manipulate the price of the altcoins. You may learn in detail later.
For now, a few things are essential.
When to buy? Where to store your Bitcoin? When to buy?It also depends on your target. You can buy bitcoin anytime, ignoring the market price, if you want to follow DCA (Dollar cost average) method to buy bitcoin. You will buy a portion of Bitcoin weekly and accumulate it for a few weeks.
If the market is high, buy less bitcoin.
If the market is low, buy more Bitcoin.
Never sell your bitcoin below the buying price.
Do not invest money you might need to cash out recently. Bitcoin is volatile. Sometimes it may go lower than your buying price. You will be an unrealized loss at that time. These are the basics to buy and accumulate your Bitcoin. You don't have to learn everything in a week.
Where to store your Bitcoin?I assume you will buy Bitcoin to hold it for a long time. If you have a hardware wallet, use it to store your Bitcoin. Choose a non-custodial wallet if you do not have a hardware wallet. My best choice is Electrum. It's available for Pc and smartphones. Never store your Bitcoin in exchanges. Do not share your private key with anyone. Do not keep your private key online. Losing your private key means losing your Bitcoin.
