I've had technical knowledge of the internet for many years and I've heard of Bitcoin in the early days, but for some time I did not have that curiosity that was characteristic of an early adopter nerd. This was a high cost of opportunity as Bitcoin's growth is impressive, especially in 2017.
There is one side of me that sees skeptically and another that can see the disruptive proposal of the coin. For about 3 months I was watching the dynamics and signing some videos on Youtube. I signed the Fernando Ulrich channel and read some texts to understand how it worked: Buy / sell through an Exchance, Possibility to move to a wallet to "save" in safety and all other possibilities (trade, etc).
About 2 months ago I decided to try it and so far things are going well. At the end of September I was able to buy for USD 3,800 and then started to move towards USD 7,000, reaching USD 7,800 and then dropping to USD 7,200. I saw this fall as an opportunity to buy and I got more $ 10,000.00 for this price since my goal was to have at least 1 BTC. And to show that nothing in this market is predictable, the day after my purchase at USD 7200 it drops to USD 5800. It needs to have a stomach! But I looked again as an opportunity and went to buy more to reach my goal of having 1BTC. As it was a weekend, I had to wait for Monday to do a TED for Exchange (you do not need to talk about why Bitcoin is causing it in the global financial market as it is 24hrs). I got on the second to take to the Exchange and unfortunately that low was already at USD 6,400 and three days later had already risen again to $ 7,200.
I'm enjoying this joke and it's that maxim ... Only invest in BTC what you're willing to lose. I do not invest in BTC by expectation but by the promising and disruptive future! Everything is an ideological issue and I am comfortable with this movement.
The classic behavior of a person who wants to quickly get rich on little-known things) Sorry, but the first attempts to work on the stock exchange can not immediately throw such large amounts (of course, if you are not afraid to lose them). Even if you have studied and watched the market, read the thematic literature is not an indicator that it is worth throwing money away. Start with small deposits, see how the market moves and start from this in further actions. Good luck!
