Topic: I have 12 BTC in my Account, How should I invest this?? - page 53. (Read 78861 times)

though it would be really risky to do that because those icos might easily turn to premine scams and you might never manage to make any profit out of that

If we are talking about bitcoin, I do not think that a greater role is given to the legality of transactions. They did no one controls and by and large, if you can earn good money and you believe in this project then it can work.

I think that you should on to them because and not invest it it anything else because that is just not the best thing to do.
Just wait for the value of Bitcoin to go up again and sell them.

Put it in an ICO with early investor bonus.  Just make sure that the IcO is legit.  Wait till the ICO stage is finish then  the first time it hit ann exchange sell your coin at equivalent ICO price.  Im sure you will get a profit on this strategy. If you have 50% bonuse then more likely you will earn at most 6 BTC on your 12 BTC investment.

but gambling is too risky and he can lose his money in not time and specially if he has no experience of gambling, although gambling is mostly depend of luck but still experience also play important role in it. therefore to me the best option is to hold your bitcoin and not to invest it anywhere, hope you  will get a good profit after some time.

I agree with the many who said that the 12 btc is an investment itself.  Leaving them alone is probably the least risky thing you can do with them.  Plus it won't eat up your time and it probably won't raise your stress level.

But, depending on your risk level and your desire to do something a little more exciting than just holding and waiting, 2 possible things to look into are:

1) Buying a physical crypto coin with a couple of the btc.  You can go on collectibles section of this forum and take part in an auction or a sale.  The safest physical coin imo is a casascius coin.  The pros: if you hold onto the physical coin long enough, they can, possibly, end up being worth a lot.  The cons: you're still holding onto a coin, it only makes you money if you hold onto it for the long term, and you have the potential of getting scammed.

2) If you're daring, you could get into trading/arbitrage.  The pros: if you do it well, you can make a good deal of profit.  The cons: there is a steep learning curve!  Again, scammers left and right. Also, to do it well, you have to spend a lot of time...many people do it as a part-time job or even a full-time job. To learn more about this, I would read the forums on localbitcoins.com, and figure what the safest, easiest method would be for you to buy and sell.  (From my own experience, meeting people in person in public places is the best way to start.)

Things to stay away from would be cloud mining and running your own faucet.  From what I have read, these are either scams and/or time and money wasters.

Well you have to be careful in those program, everything that is online requires extra due diligence and check up.
My advice would be to find a good altcoin and try your luck there.

There are a few programs that do prove their profit and do pay their investors.
If you see our bitcointalk thread, bitcoinbloom does in fact prove that we trade and earn our investors profit with reports posted every few days, and public wallet addresses to also prove these figures.

yeah true today is very difficult to find investment sites are legit and really does pay to investors. most sites today are ponzi or hyip. so it seems quite difficult to find an investment site is legit. I think it is better to invest in real life that is obvious shape

this is not exactly the most effective way to do it...

well yes you can, you can change price, just buy loads ( or sell ) of bitcoin and you will see how price changes, other people will follow you too this way

don't invest them. at least i wouldn't, as i don't think that investing bitcoins is good ide at all, i would better keep them in my wallet and wait for bitcoin price rises to earn from them

Holding is good but you also need to invest some of them in trading to grow your coins over a period of time and at a moment altcoin trading is the best option.

Certainly, you may just want to keep them because we wouldn't know when the price will go up and how much will it cost on another year.  But you can spend it by investing it.  Find some investing sites with the reputation of a trustworthy site.  Be careful because there are many fraud and scam sites that would promise a big profit.  Those were baits!

That is right. I save most of the coin I bought earlier. I also use a few of the coins to pay for services.

I think that is a good allocation of the funds. The price of bitcoin will rise in long term, it is better to save most.

If I have that 12BTC I will sell the 2 btc and buy stocks on stock market. Invest some on mutual funds.  Then, I will invest the other 2 btc to bitcoin investment sites.  The rest will be kept.  Because we do not know how much would it cost next year, and the years to come.  Some say it will be higher.   Trust yourself. 

i would definitely hold most of my bitcoins, spending them right now would be just wrong in my opinion and it wouldnt allow you to make any more money

You can also store your bitcoin untill it becomes larger, like what youve said but you can also risk the 6 BTC to other investment sites that offers profit. And you can also use it on gambling sites or some other trading sites if you want. If that will be doubled then good, and If you gain profit at trading sites, then good.

to be honest it is better not to invest your bitcoins into anything because it is most probably going to turn out to be just a scam which will make you lose money
