Advice, tips, speculation please.
Hold about half in a mixture of different places. Invest some in altcoins (if it interests you). Invest some in pending on sites such as btcjam.com. As an almost reliable investment I'd suggest investing in reputable gambling sites such as bitvest or primedice.
Probably for current the best step is hold, the investment in altcoin highly risky, lending investment not recommendations because too many account banned without apparent reasons. I think 10 btc on hold and 2 btc you can use for gambling.
Please don't include gambling in your plan if you are planning of investment, you must not just hold your bitcoins but you have to diversify and only invest on what you think you have the knowledge as that can be use as your advantage to succeed. Trading, and holding your bitcoins are just the same, the only difference is the one is for short term and the other is for long term, whatever you come up, just do it with proper caution.
I think he meant investing in gambling sites and not gambling itself. Unless I wrote my initial post wrong.
Altcoins is great but lending is not, with altcoin trading you can always see an opportunity to grow it in a short period of time, and if you are lucky enough, you can always participate in the ICO where it could possibly give you a good return of investment more than a 100%.
Investing in ICO is also a risky investment as you never know whether it will be a scam ICO or not as i have seen some scams before. Diversify your investments and trading and gambling are the only option to grow your coins.
every investment got risk, it is just the matter of small risk or big risk, investing in ICO is very risky because you don't know what can be happened to your coin, and trading need skill, trading is not an investment and gambling is not an investment, the best investment for me is to invest in casino, not guarantee that it can earned profit but at least most of the investment in casino earned profit
Investing in an ICO is indeed a bad idea.
Firstly, there's the problem the coin may not exist or the coin may fall in value.
Secondly, you don't know the full structure of the coin, such as if the developer has the ability to inflate the coin (generating their own coin to sell).
Thirdly, there have been multiple clients produced that are rigged with viruses to steal other data from your computer such as the Bitcoin data file (I would've fallen for that for one coin but used an online exchange to store the coins anyway.
