Topic: Should newbies invest with small capital in BTC - page 2. (Read 810 times)

Newbies and professionals both need to invest the amount they can afford to lose. We cannot say that because someone has already been in the market for a long time, they should invest a large amount of money, or we should say that since someone is new to the market, they should invest a small amount of money. Both can result in losing or making a profit, so the only thing is to invest the amount you can afford to lose. Don’t say that because you are already professional, you will invest a large amount of money. Remember that no amount is small when it comes to investment. What you consider is yourself. Make sure you don’t invest and start having financial problems. You will still go back to what you have already invested. But if it’s small, you will hoard for a long time and get your profit when the target is reached.

Learning should be the first step for a newbie in my opinion. When a person enters the market with the intent to earn money by making investments, they might be in a hurry because who doesn't like earning money, right? But that's the wrong way to go about it, you can't start making investments quickly just because you want to start earning as soon as possible because that will make you make reckless decisions and it will eventually cost you money for sure.

That's why, I always ask newbies to first start learning, learn everything possible and necessary about the market, the exchanges, and their tools, about different cryptocurrencies and their forms, so that when you enter the market as a trader, you don't get confused when you encounter something.

Nobody is supposed to decide for you on the amount that you are supposed to invest, you are the only one that knows your financial capacity, so it’s left for you to know the amount that you will invest, but don’t hurt yourself just because you want to invest in bitcoin, don’t force yourself to invest big, no amount of bitcoin is too small, don’t starve yourself just because you want to invest, and always invest any amount that you know you can afford to lose, meaning don’t invest all your money in bitcoin.

People investing in bitcoin without basic knowledge are just taking a great risk. For any investment you are about to make, make sure you do your research about it and understand what it’s really all about. If you don’t have basic knowledge, don’t be surprised that even if you invest a small amount, you might end up losing even the small amount in which you invested. If you are interested in bitcoin, then you should be ready to learn.

It is very important for newbies to know how to own and manage bitcoins in their wallets. They need to explore and get very comfortable using bitcoin.
Newbies should invest a very little amount into bitcoin before they get comfortable using and know how to secure their coins.
Once they become good at it then it's their personal choice and can invest whatever they like as long as they believe in it.

I will contribute based on the title of your content . When it comes to bitcoin investment for newbies it is not even advisable for them to start their investment with a large amount because a beginner who doesn't have experience in bitcoin investment have high risk to be of lose of investment. 

It will be more preferable for beginners to start small just to get more experience in the market,  with the experience gotten from the early days of investment it won't be complicated for the beginners when dealing with bigger investment. Investment in bitcoin is not just about money but discipline,  patience,  and focus,  and all these are are gotten from experience.

Investing with small capital is like an experiment while learning for every beginner, and there is nothing wrong if a newbie does this as long as he is not disappointed and regrets when his experiment fails. Because of this main requirement, newbies are required to learn first before trying anything such as investing or trading even with very small capital.

However, trying to do a little action while learning is also not wrong because this can also train someone to be more familiar when he already knows everything about investing and trading. The only thing that a newbie is really afraid of is how to manage his own emotions and patience when he is faced with risks or losses that may not yet be perfect.

In terms of investment, you can begin with any amount you have, because it is not even recommended for a beginner to begin investing with large sums of money; Instead, they should learn more and understand the type of risk involved. that's the reason, our members are constantly advising even you if you really want to invest! Spend only what you can afford to lose on investments. You can know go and apply for a loan in the area that you wish to invest. You will return it once you have made a profit. But what if you fail? That's why it's a good idea to have your own money saved up before establishing any kind of business.

Regarding investment capital in Bitcoin, the presentation you explained makes sense. Because in the range of 20% - 40% capital invested in Bitcoin can be said to be very ideal. But this percentage cannot be averaged for everyone who will invest in bitcoin. Because everyone has a different amount of capital.

For example, having capital or cold money that someone can invest in Bitcoin is $100. Then if you look at the percentage you made, it means that from $100 dollars, the safe point of capital that can be invested is around $20-$40. And to be honest, investing in bitcoin using capital that is not too large, the results/profits will definitely not be large.

Maybe in my personal opinion, the percentage you explain is more suitable for people who have quite large or very large capital. Because for people who have small capital, I think this percentage will be very inaccurate.

For a beginner in the field of bitcoin investment, in my personal opinion, if the beginner studies bitcoin very well and very carefully. I am sure, whether investing with small or large capital, the end results have the potential to be very good. Because knowledge in bitcoin investment plays a very important role. So if an investor or someone who is just starting to invest in Bitcoin has mastered the knowledge (history, system, cycles), I'm sure it won't be a big problem even if they use any amount of capital.

Indeed, for a beginner, there is one element that is not yet possessed, namely experience. However, if a beginner invests in Bitcoin, his knowledge of Bitcoin is already mastered. Even though they don't have experience, it doesn't rule out the possibility for beginners to see or see the chronology of the experiences of more senior bitcoin investors. So beginners can take lessons from the experiences of experienced bitcoin investors.

The capital you mean in the details you explain is more inclined towards financial, of course money is one of the capital that every investor must have. But you need other capital besides money, your knowledge and skills in investing also greatly determine the results of your investment.

You can buy any coin you want with money, but without capital knowledge in investing will potentially reduce the value of your money. Invest according to your abilities, don't force it too much if you don't have investment skills, the greater the value of the money you invest, the greater the risk of loss.

Yeah you're correct, actually these your explanation reminds me of DCA strategy which works almost as the way you explained it, because a Newbies may not really understand the basis, concept and fundamentals of Bitcoin as such over investing on Bitcoin were as they could ran out of funds but with the help of DCA strategy it will help on risk management and structure the psychology of a beginner to invest slowly but consistently accumulating Bitcoin with a plan to open a reserve funds account were as if any needs arise the reserve funds will cover for it, so this is actually the best method for newbies to use.

Well, any amount will do as long as that's the money that you can afford to lose. What matter is, you tried and from that experience, you'll gain knowledge and deep understanding about Bitcoin. Then, if that time comes, you can decide if you'll going to add more funds to increase the chances of getting a huge return or will opt to use other strategy available.

Anyway, I think the problem for some newbies is, they want to risk a small amount to invest then will have a high hopes of huge return from that small funds (this what I noticed to those investing in shitcoins even it's risky). But when it comes to Bitcoin, the more the better. Therefore if you're capable to invest a decent amount that would be good. But this is solely for investors who already have knowledge about Bitcoin investment and aware of the risk associated with it.

Investments, whether small amount or big amount, we never do with the intention of loss, but always for profit,Therefore, before making any investment, it is very important to know the risks and various factors involved in that investment. Losses are an integral part of every investment,but I think Bitcoin has the least risk of loss,but the condition is that if the investment is done at the right time.So before investing in bitcoin or anywhere else if you have complete knowledge and experience about it then investing with big money can be started. Most people suffer because of their own mistakes, so it would be wrong to criticize Bitcoin.

Newbies can also get discouraged if they invest in BTC at the wrong time. I think newbies should divide their capital into four parts and invest one part in the beginning. When the price of Bitcoin falls, the second investment can be made with a reasonable difference from the price of the first. therefore  it is important to know about the investment percentage as well as the right strategy and right timing.

a beginner really has to invest with small capital first, because a beginner usually doesn't fully understand the procedures for trading in BTC or investing in BTC, so by starting with small capital first I think it's a good decision, because beginners can learn and see the risks investing in BTC so if already understand and knowledge has increased then can invest in BTC with large capital.

Investing in Bitcoin will be basically base on how much funds you have, you can't because you want to make a larger profit in Bitcoin and you invest more than what you budgeted to invest, because you want to meet up of investing twenty percent or forty percent that will enable you to make more profit, no, you got it wrong from this aspect, for you to invest inw any cryptocurrency as newbies or someone that is being invested before, what you need to do is to make sure what you want to invest will not affect your life, what you really need in cryptocurrency investment is to invest what you can afford to lose not by the percentage, be happy in any profit you realize in any investment since you haven't experienced lost

Bitcoin is a high risk investment, it not quite high risk investment.  
Because it has a high risk, we are always advised to use safe money. It means the amount of money that we won't mind for the worse scenario (a loss).
Moreover, when we are a newbie, we may still have some obstacles and challenges to understand Bitcoin investment. That's why we are suggested to start with small capital firstly. So, when we get a loss in the early our journey, it won't ruin our motivation to keep investing in Bitcoin. While if we get a loss in a big money, I'm sure it can lead to exit Bitcoin investment forever (lost interest in BTC).

I think the whole essence of investment is broadened when anyone stakes as high as they can afford to at the time.... Newbie or not.
On the other hand, it's imperative that most people take steps to actualizing their dreams of HODLing as much as they'd want to... I would recommend that later for a person that doesn't have self control and patience as a sole virtue.

For starters the crypto ecosystem is one vast world, how much you invest will depend on how much you want to be receiving, like they say your output determines your input!

Btw, when you bring in the subject of investing in the crypto ecosystem, it could mean buying and holding of the BTC which has no limit on how much you can start with, it could mean providing liquidity to a gambling platform as a silent investor which has minimums/maximums depending on the platform,  

Very much true, and many of us want to be rich from small bits of satoshis like the first generation of Bitcoin investors...

and unfortunately, lightning doesn't strike twice in the same spot and the strategy has to change.

Well, the point is that OP is just new to the crypto space which is not ideal for putting huge amounts for investment even though he is optimistic about the future of Bitcoin. And the reason is that he was prone to losing them all and it was hurt on their side which I think we don't need to see them suffering terrible losses at first. Perhaps, we can increase our investment gradually once we are fully ready and know more about the market trend. It is just keeping them safer than making them regret it.

Totally agree, In a quite high-risk investment like Bitcoin and Stock, if someone ask me this kind of question my answer is most of the time, 'Invest with the amount of money you can afford to lose'. Other than that, investing with the money you can afford to lose, make you less worries when your portfolio is failing, we wouldn't be anxious to sell the asset, if we currently got unclaimed loss, so we can continue to accumulate and grow our portfolio.

I see OP is optimistic about the future potential of BTC and knows exactly the impact of investing in BTC if entering with small capital Now. Maybe we should also convey this general point to those who have just entered the market, to always use unused money for important daily needs or cold money to enter the world of crypto trading, especially BTC.

and regarding the amount needed in my opinion it will always vary, because if you want to relax and be safe it's a little, but if you want fast capital turnover as you said above provided you always update and know where the market is going, but the BTC pattern is very identical in the long term, at least 3-5 years, then the profits will be felt.
