so, what id like to do is invest bitcoins to a stock or mutual fund account, but am not sure the best way to go about it. any tips/advice?
I heard so much about this biticoin and investing in it is a very good idea specially right now that it is not very popularized yet I mean not everyone knew about it yet. Time will come that not everyone can have it because it is very expensive.
Its good imagination. Do not know whatever you said will it happen are not.
If you don't know what to do with you bitcoins then just hold it and watch out for the price movements and if it go up and your happy with your profits then sell. Another way you can try to lend some coins on this forum to make a some profits from your coins.
Its all depend on you what type of investment you will do. but its better to invest in stock market because you can secure your investment.
Not if another crisis happens, your broker/bank/insurer can all go from 1 day to another, and you lose all your investments.
The stocks you hold in your brokerage accounts are not yours, the broker holds custodianship of it, so if the broker goes bankrupt, as part of liquidation, it will sell your stocks, and you will be left nothing.
Apart from that 10,000€ investment insurance, you will get nothing (and if the insurer goes bankrupt , then not even that).
