Re: I've invested around 450 dollars into bitcoin and I am 16 years old
Ok since I've revealed a little too much info should I just make another account with no link whatsoever to both this account and my other account? I'm not sure what a hacker can do with my name and stuff but idk I think I might just make another account sometime and just abandon this one.
I don't care what you guys change it to, you can change it to Michael23913 or something like that but please I just want to remove my last name from my account. I don't want my full name on this thing lmao
Re: I've invested around 450 dollars into bitcoin so far and I am 16 years old
@Michael, please don't post pictures and videos, this forum is not what you think, there are security risks of revealing everything about yourself. Stop eating too much sugar and consult your father please?
well some people said they wanted proof and stuff sorry
yeah true. Also putting my full name was a dumbass move by me I don't think there is a way to change that sadly but whatever, I think u can scam people if u change your name or something like that so I guess that's also a reason I cant change my name

Re: I've invested around 450 dollars into bitcoin so far and I am 16 years old
Currently, I am a sophomore in high school. I learned about btc from my dad and btc blew my mind and I was hooked. I've been pretty much putting all that I can into it for a year and a half now. Are there any tips you guys give me? 2/3 of my bitcoin is in Stockpile and the other third is with my dad (I'm not sure how he's storing it). At this moment I own a total of 0.01798185 bitcoin 
Your story is soo cool. good luck to you Hold bitcoins securely. And if you can hold it without selling it, you will own about $1800 when Bitcoin hits $100k. Hold the bitcoins in a good non-custodial wallet like Electrum, Ledger, KeepKey, Trezor etc or you can buy a hardware wallet tooSuch events can only be seen posted by Newbie accounts. However op you might get some Smerit if you post a screenshot of your holding bitcoin with the post
haha, it is very sussy wussy but I can assure you I am 15 (I turn 16 on Feb 26) I will send a video recording of the stockpile app showing my 275 dollar btc balance below as well as a screenshot of the receipt of my dad got when he bought my 125 dollars of btc back on 6/26/2022 (I'm not sure what app my dad used to get my btc I think he used coin base or something). And actually, I was thinking about also posting what highschool I go to but I'm not sure if that's a good idea since recently we've had around 3 threat calls made to our school.

All my transactions add up to a total of 0.01798185 btc
Or instead of using my high school as a way to prove who I am maybe, I make some sort of video of myself with my face and everything to show to you guys that I am 16 or a picture from my Instagram.
Also to the guy that said my sister is my little sister she is not my little sister she is my twin sister, she is my age.
and also my bitcoin might not be at 450 because the market is a little volatile at the moment haha
I will soon be trying to get my btc in a hardware wallet so it'll all be in one place hopefully. IF there is any more stuff you guys want me to provide I will provide it (obviously not super personal stuff but I will share as much as I can) Soon I will probably post a vid of myself saying Hi and stuff haha.
Who is the owner of this bitcoin forum? Did Satoshi make this forum or was it a follower of his? Is there a reason why the website layout is "retro" and has stayed the same since the early 2010s? Not saying the layout is bad or anything I kinda like it ngl, it is a little bright though haha 
Re: I've invested around 450 dollars into bitcoin so far and I am 16 years old
Why it's literally just a basic website telling people about myself.
Re: I've invested around 450 dollars into bitcoin so far and I am 16 years old
Okie dokie everyone. A lot of people are saying that I should invest in a hardware wallet to secure my future of holding my btc. The idea of a hardware wallet is very attractive to me and I will get one as soon as I can. Currently, I don't have the money to even get a hardware wallet so I'll try to ask for one for my birthday or I'll save up for one. Some of the bitcoin wallets I see are rather expensive (Like ledger) these bitcoin wallets are pretty much off the table since currently, I have no way to make money other than on birthdays and holidays. My dad has a lot of experience in crypto so maybe he'll have one lying around I'm not sure. It's super awesome having a dad who's into programming, crypto, and tech stuff especially since he's 46 years old and most people his age don't really understand much about programming/tech especially crypto. I will try to get a job as soon as I can (since I'm not actually 16 yet I'm 15 lmao I turn 16 next week sorry for the clickbait). I've applied to many jobs but they never even responded since it's most likely due to me being 15 and not 16. 
Re: I've invested around 450 dollars into bitcoin so far and I am 16 years old
You are doing the right thing, saving little by little in Bitcoin. Doing that with fiat is pointless as your money is only losing value continuously.
Tips? I think you need to learn about hardware wallets. Learn to self-custody what you have. I haven't heard about Stockpile but I doubt it is an open source non-custodial wallet. Also, don't be surprised and lose interest once the market goes through a severe winter. It has discouraged a lot. It has pushed many to panic sell, with a big loss. Learn to develop a diamond hand. It pays off in the end.

Yeah most likely I'll probably lose some money but at the end of the day I own bitcoin. Plus I'm going for a long-term investment, not a short-term one. Investment is not always uphill. Diamond hands hahaha
Re: I've invested around 450 dollars into bitcoin so far and I am 16 years old
You can continue what you currently do by investing in bitcoin using DCA to save your money in bitcoin regularly.
I suggest you move the bitcoins to another separate wallet and don't combine them with your father's bitcoins.
Having bitcoins means you are responsible for those bitcoins so you must know how to store bitcoins properly.
You are young but want to learn how to invest in bitcoin so that if you can continue investing in bitcoin, you can earn good returns in the future.

Do you know a good resource for DCA BTC?
Re: I've invested around 450 dollars into bitcoin so far and I am 16 years old
I'm not sure why I would be wanting respect from a btc community,
If mods/admins start to change usernames of all the ppl who request, it will create heck of a confusion between all to differentiate, coz you will have daily scammers trying to scam other newbies by changing their usernames quietly. I know its not your intention but still.I would literally receive nothing in return.
You are new thats why you dont know but with time you'll understand what respect can give you in this forum. 
Thank you for the explanation. I'll make a new account if I want to become anonymous thanks
Re: I've invested around 450 dollars into bitcoin so far and I am 16 years old
do u know how to change username haha
This post shows you knew a lot about the forum and you're not a newbie. This thread is fake to find lucky merits.Re: I've invested around 450 dollars into bitcoin so far and I am 16 years old
Ok, I'm pretty sure I'm not able to change my username unless a moderator does it and even if they do my legal name would still be tied to this account. I've decided that I'll still post whatever I want on this account but if I need to do so I will quietly switch to a new anon account that is not tied to this account at all. This account will be used for personal stuff anyway so it doesn't really matter haha.
Re: I've invested around 450 dollars into bitcoin so far and I am 16 years old
1. Use a hardware wallet. (Ledger/Trezor)
2. Try to earn more money by mowing lawns and stuff to be able to invest more
3. It's okay to hang out with friends and stuff, but stop buying useless crap

Re: I've invested around 450 dollars into bitcoin so far and I am 16 years old
Ok, everyone, I've used my full name as my username is that a bad idea? I don't really care if someone gets my exact identification but I feel like just making a whole other account all together. Is there a way to change my username?

~Also, I will talk to my dad tomorrow or very soon to talk to him about transferring my money out of stockpile and into a hardware wallet. I plan on long-term investing my money into btc. Currently, I can afford to lose all of the 450 dollars of bitcoin that I have. It's not a life-changing amount for me or my family. However, I do plan on investing almost every dime I earn from a job/birthday/holiday (I'm not actually 16 I turn 16 literally next week) I am very excited to get a job so I can get more bitcoin, for me it's like gold, in my mind bitcoin is shiny and awesome looking.
Anyway, I hope that 16 year old kids like you will think of the same here in my place. In my place, 16 year old boy or even a girl is just thinking of ways to go out, have fun, and posting some useless Tiktok videos out there instead of learning about finance. Well, I can't blame though, but it's quite unfortunate.
I guess some here gave you already some tips and tricks with your investing journey. I guess that is what I will say. It's not a tip, but good job on investing on Bitcoin at a very young age. You and me are one of the 58% of crypto holders are under 34 years of age (the number is based on this page. Just continue what you're doing and learn more.
Kinda, I see my family as pretty well off. We rent a decent size home in the California suburbs (not LA haha, LA would probably give my family lung cancer and the renting prices are even worse there). We used to be very very well off but stuff happens. I'm very thankful for my mom and my dad they both have great jobs and they both work extremely hard. Most of my friends spend money and random shit and I used to do the same sadly but now I am looking towards the future. I see a very bright future for crypto and especially bitcoin. Even though I'm a kid/child right now soon I will not be and I need to understand that I control the future of my life, not the people around me.
Re: I've invested around 450 dollars into bitcoin so far and I am 16 years old
Thank you for the quick replies everybody I will be moving my bitcoin into a hardware wallet as fast as possible. Now that I think about it I don't think Stockpile.com is a good idea for the long-term btc holdings. I looked it up and I found an article on bitcoin.com stating, "Since 2014, Roughly 42% of Failed Crypto Exchanges Have Disappeared Without a Trace for No Apparent Reason." I don't plan on selling and even when I do sell my bitcoin it's only going to be when 1. I have made a ton of profit lol 2. When I have a large sum of money/btc 3. I will only sell a small portion of it obviously.
