Simple investment drop some funds into BTC with what you can afford to and then trade along the waves buying low selling high and trading with it. Also take some of it to alt markets and playing with them and building your coins up and then once you get to a good figure start taking profit for yourself and continue to build on a 60/40 ratio keeping 60% taking 40% for yourself and continue to gradually build up.
Simple well-known strategy but how little people really get profits from it. Easy saying than doing.
This would be good for an investment that has gradual but strong ups and downs with the highs being higher each round of volatility

Forget Wall Street. On bitcointalk you get better, free, 'round the clock advice!


These forums have advice given by people who are not experts, you have no real way to knowing for sure if they know what they are talking about. A lot of the advice is riddled with conflict of interest.

Those so called experts advice is not that much better than advice anyone else would have given you.

One must do his own homework before committing any long term investment/action.

A financial adviser has a fiduciary duty to give you advice that is appropriate to your situation.   

Newspeak for... can only advice you to follow the sheep, else he will face a law suit.
It means that if you have a certain risk tolerance then he cannot recommend you invest in something that carries more risk and cannot mislead you as to the potential risk of your investments.

I would only invest in things that you will have 100 percent control over so Bitcoin in a wallet that only you control, gold and silver hidden somewhere where only you and one other family member know where to find it.

Tom Leykis on monday has a segment called "money mondays".  IIRC, he's a fan of Roth IRA and he likes his EFTs at Vanguard Mutual.  He doesn't like Bitcoin, though.    Tongue

 

He always says go with a fee based financial advisor.  The problem with a "free" financial advisor is they make money by referring you to  buy their assets or they collect a kickback somehow, it's a conflict of interest.

Free advice ..

No matter how little or how much you make ..
  
1) Pay yourself first out of each and every paycheck
2) Open a Roth IRA
3) Invest in companies that raise their dividend on at least an annual basis
4) Re-invest the dividend income in additional shares
5) Sell and replace any investment that fails to raise it's dividend on schedule
6) Rinse and repeat
7) This process will replace and exceed your work income over time

This works !!

Triff ..

This is probably one of the best advice on this thread. As fun as it is to invest in bitcoin it can be extremely risky and is really more like speculation then investing.

How about this is the best advise you will get on this board I promise you......


It is always easier to tell someone else how to spend their money, cause you are not at risk of losing it. Asking investment advice on this board is like asking a 5 year old to do your taxes.

Exactly.

And people take credit if market happen to go their way and stay quiet if your investment blow up.

Just ignore what everyone said here and make decision on your own using your own knowledge and judgement. Regardless of how things turn out, you will be the only one responsible for your action.

Why not invests in a UNIQUE idea you have, which is about bitcoin also ?

Or, you can buy bitcoins now, hold them, and then sell them for high price.


And what happen if bitcoin keeps dropping ?


Then you would lose money, like what would happen with any other investment

You don't lose money until you realize the loss and actually sell at a loss. Otherwise, you could still make profit... even if the price falls. Unless you are long on margin and get margin called...

That kind of thinking is that of a compulsive gambler

On paper it would still be a loss. If the price is below what you paid for it then you should understand that it is showing as a loss and should not assume that the price will go back up.
