[8]
hard-earned money on Bitcoin and in this video I'm gonna show you exactly how to
[14]
do that the easiest and the most simple way to do it
[18]
my name is Bruce Wayne I usually make videos about personal finance my real
[23]
estate investments and my some of my stock investments but in this video is
[27]
gonna be more specific about cryptocurrency I started investing into
[31]
cryptocurrency and specifically Bitcoin in 2017 late 2017 and I have some
[37]
experience when it comes to it I know how to buy Bitcoin and all the other all
[40]
coins is very simple and I even also know how to mine Bitcoin itself but in
[46]
this video I'm just gonna teach you how to buy some bitcoins the easiest and
[49]
most simplest way to do so so the first thing you're gonna need is either a cell
[54]
phone or a computer with internet connection and you want to download the
[59]
app called coinbase and the first thing you're gonna do is
[62]
you're gonna want to download coinbase this is exactly what coinbase looks like
[65]
it's just like a little blue square with a c' on it and there we go let's open
[69]
this coin base and see what we got here so coin base has to be the most easiest
[74]
most simplest way non scammy way you guys can get into Bitcoin yet one thing
[80]
about cryptocurrency in general is that it is full of scams it is full of people
[85]
trying to take your money but for whatever reason you want to buy some
[89]
Bitcoin Bitcoin is the most well known cryptocurrency out there it is the
[93]
original cryptocurrency Bitcoin BTC also known as the BTC and right now the
[100]
current price of Bitcoin is five thousand four hundred forty five dollars
[103]
and 32 cents in march Bitcoin was around just under four thousand dollars and now
[109]
bitcoin is touching five thousand almost five thousand five hundred dollars that
[114]
is a gigantic leap in the price forty percent gain in the price on the month
[119]
that is ridiculous and that's something that you can find very commonly when it
[123]
comes to Bitcoin and cryptocurrency and when it comes to cryptocurrency in
[127]
general Bitcoin is probably the safest bet when it comes to your investments so
[131]
when it comes to coin base and buying your big
[133]
points what you want to do is go into your accounts and you want to go into
[138]
your BTC wallet and in your BTC wallet or Bitcoin wallet you'll see a Buy
[142]
button and that is as simple as it gets there after you obviously register for
[147]
your accounts so as you can see here in my history I'm gonna be scrolling down
[150]
just a little bit I do buy Bitcoin here and there a little bit and also back in
[154]
the day I used to mine for Bitcoin with this bad boy right here
[158]
but there are only a few ways to make money when it comes to pick coin the
[162]
number one way is to buy Bitcoin hold it and then when it raises in its value you
[168]
can sell it the second way is to mine Bitcoin mining it it's a lot harder
[174]
mining it does come with a lot of disadvantages as well I think the
[179]
easiest way to do it is just a bite but mining it you need to buy hardware you
[183]
need to hook it up to the internet and you also need to spend a lot of time and
[187]
a lot of energy and a lot of money when it comes to mining but it is a fun hobby
[191]
and the third way to do it is to trade and you can trade Bitcoin on coinbase
[195]
Pro just look it up is is connected with coinbase so whenever you sign up with
[199]
your account on coinbase you have only bait you'll have an account on coin
[203]
based pearl if that makes sense to you so just looking through my history you
[208]
know I don't do too much trading I don't do too much buying recently because
[212]
we've been in a bear market for a very long time and it's very difficult to do
[216]
all that type of stuff in a bear market but when it comes to Bitcoin and
[221]
cryptocurrency in general we can see that there has been some life given to
[225]
Bitcoin and it is raised over 40 percent in the last month when it comes to
[230]
anything in green that means my wallet is getting filled with Bitcoin and when
[235]
it comes to anything in like gray or I mean and when it comes to anything in
[240]
like this gray text this means that I sent Bitcoin to another wallet address
[244]
or I either sold it so yeah hopefully this proves that I do have some
[250]
experience when it comes to cryptocurrency and like I said coin base
[255]
is probably recommended like eight out of ten nine out of ten by most people
[259]
but you will find some cryptocurrency investors hating on coin base because of
[265]
for various reasons so when it comes to buying Bitcoin you can buy as much as
[268]
you want but coinbase does limit you to a certain amount per day per week and
[272]
and that all depends on what level of identification that you give coinbase
[277]
and for myself I'm able to buy $5,000 a Bitcoin and I don't recommend anyone
[284]
buying Bitcoin this $5,000 all at one time if you are going to jump into
[289]
cryptocurrency investing start small and only invest what you can afford to lose
[293]
that is the that is those are the golden rules when it comes to cryptocurrency
[298]
investing and selling Bitcoin is obviously the opposite you can sell as
[303]
much as you as much Bitcoin as you have I don't think they give you any limits
[307]
when it comes to selling bitcoins so on the next tab here you can create price
[313]
alerts for whatever bitcoin price that you want I don't have any notifications
[320]
for any Bitcoin alerts here but in general I don't have any notifications
[326]
on my phone just because I hate seeing notifications on my phone and on the
[330]
invite tab you can invite your friends or people that you want to start
[335]
investing in cryptocurrency and here in these settings this is what I'm talking
[338]
about when it comes to account levels I'm at at level 3 which enables me to
[343]
have like all these perks here I'm able to wire transfer $250,000 into a coin
[349]
base but I don't eat but I don't recommend anyone doing that that is a
[353]
crazy amount and that is something that not many people can do in general and
[358]
these are what you have to do to get these different types of level to get to
[362]
level 1 just verify your phone number to get to level 2 most likely just need to
[366]
verify some personal information to get to level 3 you probably need to upload a
[371]
photo ID your license I think I either updated by either uploaded my license or
[377]
my passport I completely forgot which one I did this such such a long time ago
[382]
yeah when it comes to cryptocurrency in general most cryptocurrency investors
[387]
they like to keep their personal information private and they don't like
[390]
to give it out to all of these companies so that is also dependent on your level
[394]
of privacy native currency Suffolk's
[398]
taury country is self-explanatory phone numbers notifications and when it comes
[403]
to security when it when it comes to Bitcoin security cryptocurrency curity
[408]
you want to have everything as secure as possible so you want to you would want
[414]
to have Google Authenticator this application links up with a lot of your
[419]
other programs as well when it comes to security so you can link this up with
[424]
even your Gmail account and your your coin based account and it gives you a
[429]
secret code and it's time-sensitive so I think each code lasts for like one or
[433]
two minutes so going back to the main screen on coinbase you guys can see here
[438]
that they have a lot of different coins now these are called alt coins they're
[443]
an alternative to Bitcoin a theorem is very well known in the community if
[447]
they're in classic litecoin icon oh my see go all these coins they
[453]
weren't here two years ago coinbase just recently listed them on their exchange
[459]
and when it comes to all coins it is even more speculative and risky to
[463]
invest in those so just be well aware when it comes to investing in
[466]
cryptocurrency so before I end this video fair warning to anybody that's
[471]
going to invest in Bitcoin first off I know that there's going to be a lot of
[476]
comments a lot of spam comments a lot of scammy comments in the section below I
[481]
can't I can't filter them all out but there are going to be there don't read
[487]
the comment section it is gonna be completely crazy everyone that's gonna
[491]
comment on this video is most likely a scam of some sort so just be well aware
[496]
of that and on the other hand I do not know that if we're in a bull market I
[500]
haven't been following too closely when it comes to cryptocurrency because I'm
[505]
just been caught up in other in my other investments I've more I've been really
[510]
more interested investing in real estate something long-term something that I can
[514]
do forever and real estate is a lot less risky than cryptocurrency or Bitcoin and
[520]
even this even stocks are probably a lot less risky than um
[525]
cryptocurrency just because the stock market is a lot more mature the last
[529]
thing I want to say is that Bitcoin jumps up and jumps down in price a lot
[533]
it is very volatile super volatile so there is an opportunity to make money
[540]
there but I'm not able to do it because I can't stay on top of it and there are
[544]
a lot of professional traders out there doing it and I just cannot compete with
[548]
them but if you believe that you can do it then be my guest
[551]
go ahead just just don't invest more than you can afford to lose and do your
[557]
own research those are probably the two best golden rules when it comes to
[561]
investing in general and good luck if you're interested in more cryptocurrency
