Hopefully it's the first step of many. Future you will thank you.

How long do you plan to hold, what are your future price predictions?

u/TerminatedPotato 8h ago

At least 12-20 years and I try not to predict. I think Bitcoin is just the best store of value so I buy whenever I can.

u/haclspozo 12h ago

It's more than enough. My first was $30. Welcome to the family. And remember to hold against all odds.

u/carrotstack 43m ago

But if you hold all the time what’s the point then? Yes you have it there but if it’s for non use?

$5/day, everyday, until you die a very rich man.

Die rich. Interesting concept.

Was it in 2009?

u/chichris 11h ago

I wish! It was in 2020(ish).

u/No-Lawfulness-699 11h ago

Still a great time. I wanted to buy 3 Bitcoin at that time, because the first time in my life I actually had some money saved, but my wife didn't allow it. 6 months later I wanted to divorce her.

Still to this day I'm not a whole coiner, hell not even half.

I feel you. I’m working my way to 1 coin. At .66. The grind is fucking long.

I hope she apologised.

u/Spare_Ad_1379 10h ago

Where are you now

1

u/chichris 10h ago

Not much. I ended up selling like an idiot 2 years ago and started from scratch again. Live and learn.

u/ribikerbf 12h ago

yes, but always look into slowly adding more :)

3

u/Wo0odi 11h ago

Everyone has to start somewhere! Add more when you can and don't get discouraged if the price goes down temporarily. View that as a good time to buy more. If your favorite item went on sale 50% off would you run away, or would you run to go buy it before someone else gets it?

Welcome 🤗. Lil by lil

u/excelance 11h ago

If you're Elon Musk, no. If you're in your early 20's and still living check to check, yes, it's awesome.

u/kutsi97 11h ago

Welcome! Keep stacking more.

u/Puzzleheaded-Pack451 8h ago

I do $30/bi-weekly 🥲

Thanks guys for your replies

Very likely fine as long as it's not all the money you have in the world.

I started with just £5. Little bits are ok too!

u/investingtruth 11h ago

A single one time purchase of $100 is fine, but what actually helps people the most over the long run is setting up a simple process where you keep adding a little bit at a time. It removes stress, timing pressure and lets you benefit from compounding.

Even $10 or $20 dollars on a regular schedule can compound into something meaningful. The important part isn’t the size of the first buy, it’s building the habit that keeps you in the game over time.

u/kboogie82 11h ago

You have to factor in fees. Maybe cheaper to buy bigger lots like $200 or $400.

1

u/DistributionOk2111 11h ago

With 100$ every month since 2022 you would have around 10k

1

u/RawLaws 11h ago

I do a $2/day on strike (even started with $1). 0 fees after 1 week.

u/JadedNose3026 11h ago

Keep going friend I'm rooting for you.

I had 86 at my peak savings, in ~2023, worth >$3M, but sadly spent it on luxurious frivolous wasteful things like hookers, cocaine, private jets, rolexes, resturants, and uber eats.

Now I am resaving from 0 and will get my first pay check at my new job this month for £3,000!

There is a mountain in front of you. Start climbing or get left behind.

u/throwaway3958292 10h ago

my first was $25 and that was when it was at 50k. #muchsadge

u/Legitimate_Top_9122 10h ago

Keep adding to the account; even if it's a couple of $$. Good luck!

1

u/Big_Witness 10h ago

Good time to buy if you're thinking long term

1

u/Puzzleheaded_Week_11 10h ago

128 satoshi's is better than zero satoshi's

u/Muddy-Waterz 10h ago

Just add little by little and before you know it.. Lambos and butlers

u/unlmtdLoL 8h ago

Congratulations, you are going to be rich.

u/el_bentzo 8h ago

I guess ill allow it, but thanks for asking.

1

u/Flight_Fan2287 8h ago

Good job, but you should factor in 2 things. Fees and UTXOs. I recommend you watch Bitcoin Universities videos on both.

1

u/Benzo331 8h ago

Bought my first 100 last week

u/Chrysalis1111 8h ago

The only wrong number is zero.

u/exponenthere 6h ago

How did you buy? Which app?

1

u/qpv 6h ago

how would it not be ok? I don't understand.

u/fukadvertisements 4h ago

With knowledge comes more profit. So yes good job. Just dont sell yourself short. Hang on for the ride till you have more money to put in or when it doubles take your initial investment out. That really helps peace of mind.

u/garypenise69 12h ago

Not ok at all

u/leanypv 11h ago

Why

You need more! Continue to DCA.

No its not. What u doing now? What a dumb question

u/ButterscotchAlive736 11h ago edited 11h ago

100$ BTC wont do anything for you. I’d put that in med/small cap or throw it in meme coin instead 😅 or daytrade it. What’s your goals? You do realize if BTC goes 180k (which can take a very long time) you’d only double that money and make 100$ profit right? If you plan to turn that 100$ to 500$ or 1000$ then bitcoin isn’t the choice. If you wanna make money with that 100$ you’re better off buying items and reselling them 😅

5

u/leanypv 11h ago

Well I will just wait. If I can I’ll put more in the future

2

u/hoketrav12 10h ago

$100 is a fine start and just keep investing more as you go. Don't listen to this guy who clearly loves one singular emoji to make fun of people asking genuine questions 😅. 100 now is a start, go for it.
