In fact, I have started buying 3 days ago... small amounts monthly. All my BTC before were earned, but want to get more as I realized its potential to go up.
Well, I still keep buying bitcoin and I will hold it for a long time because I know that the price of bitcoin will rapidly increase in the near future. In addition to that, holding of bitcoin is one of the best way to gain and make more profit. If you can afford to buy I suggest to buy but there are some way to earn bitcoin.
