You can also earn big profit in banks by using the compound interest. People know that if you let your money in bank it will gain a very small profit ,but if you use a simple interest you will earn a small profit but if you use the compound interest it will doubled or triple your money because of that interest.

Of course in like 200 years sure.

I hardly doubt that with 0.25% yearly interest you will double your money very soon lol...

Is it better to save money in bank or invest it online, in real estate or maybe gold?

Investment is a kind of savings. If you are doing savings then you can not keep it in the cash form with you. You will have to invest it in Fixed deposit, Real state, gold or shares, etc.
Investment is a kind of savings I disagree with that because, investing have a risk that your money would be lost or earn a profits. Also investing take too much time than saving. Saving takes 3-5 years before you stop to save (it depends on your salary every month) but in investing takes 10-15 years depends on the contract and the company (you wouldn't assure that your money can earn or will be lost its) its 50%-50%. And f you invest you can earn more profits by using the compound interest it can earn more profit as years passes by than simple interest.

Not totally true. There are some investment tool available which has zero risk and will give you return in 3-5 years as well. That will totally depends upon the risk profile of the individual and his requirements.
Yeah theres some but its hard to find that company that zero risk. And if its only 3-5 years you profit is not high because your time is not so long and it depends on the interest of that company where your profit are big or small.

many banks offers 1-3% max of annual interest, but you need to freeze your account for one year, they should be pretty safe as far as i know, it's not like playing ponzi with bitcoin for sure...

but overall is a very tiny amount, not sure it worth it to freeze your account for one year, i know that i won't do that...
But the interest is so low. If i invest i would not invest to the company that have only 1-3% because after 5-10 years my profit will be small and the interest is only simple interest . If the interes is compound and its annual interest is 1-3% i think i will invest, because it compound interest and assure to myself that i will earn a big profits.

not after 5-10 years but after 1 year only, if you invest 100k and you lock them in those bank, they give you 1k-3k usd/euro, it's not that bad at the end, although still too low for many
Yeah its too low. You invest 100k and you only earn per year is 1-3k? No one invest in that situation.  Your 100k are in the risk that it may loss and you invest it to earn only 1-3k per year? No one businessman or woman will agree with that.

Actually, what you are saying in here is too far from what Amph really said. Putting your money in a bank and freezing it for a year will net you 1-3% of whatever amount you've deposited in there. Putting your money in a bank and expecting annual interests doesn't have that much risks compared to when you invested your money in a business. The difference is that you'll get a low return for putting your money in a bank, but it's better than getting nothing.

On a side note, people aren't contented even though they literally have everything and anything they want. A man will always find something greater and beyond his reach, which I think is pretty pointless.
Sorry maybe i just miss interpret. Frezzing your money in the bank with 1-3% net income have no risk so its better than business because business that take too much time have a risk . So it better to freez than to invest in a business.

Well you're starting to be confused on what you stand for. Leaving your money in a bank seems to be a surefire way for you to get some little profit, but if you did take time to research and ask people, those money in your bank could actually grow A LOT. There are a lot of opportunities out there that can yield you higher profits, but with it comes risks that--as much as possible--we try to avoid. If you did your homework and researched thoroughly, looking through different information and asking different people, you might lessen or decrease risks that are inclined with investments. With that said, having a well-planned investment is far better than letting your money sitting in a bank doing nothing and giving you a ridiculously small gain every year.
You can also earn big profit in banks by using the compound interest. People know that if you let your money in bank it will gain a very small profit ,but if you use a simple interest you will earn a small profit but if you use the compound interest it will doubled or triple your money because of that interest.

Save? The government takes literally half of everything I make. Then the remainder is subjected to inflation. The longer I hold it, the less buying power it has.

Invest? In what? Assets that are thin veils of promises from entities that have no way to pay me back? Why?

The only thing that is exciting to me, even in very red times like today's, is Bitcoin. The rest all seems boring and the same old shit wit the same old tricks.

You do know there are other ways to invest..  Not just bitcoin or gold, I'd suggest talking to a finical adviser about your investment options.
If you are content with low returns then it is probably best to save your money in a low interest account.  It will be insured and is 'safe'.
Gold is a solid investment, the price is quite low at the moment, it seems like a safe long term investment, not very fungible though.

Bitcoin is dangerous, you could lose most of your money quickly, you could also make lots of money. It is fungible, if you can handle the stress of big price swings, it is a good investment in my opinion.

I wouldn't put all my eggs in one basket.  I personally am long oil at the moment, I can ride out the overproduction dip, but it won't stay at $50-60 for long, I am willing to bet on that!

Long oil sounds solid

Im not so sure about that these days.. sure its really low and seems like "oh it should go up". But all those rumors about new batteries that are basically amazing could start the shift.

invest as much as u can just save 10 to 20 % this is the time to invest
Did you read the whole op? He is asking what he should invest it and you podt some random msg (probably meaning btc).
I also agree stocks are quite safe investment for start.
Don't invest more than you can afford to loose that's the rule.
Yeah thats right dont invest too much so that you have a extra money or you can afford what you want. if you invest, invest at lease 5-10% of your saving not your whole savings so if your investing is not good or failed you have another money that you can invest again or make a business like a house rents.

Investing is quite different. Investing is taking that money and putting it into something--stock, assets, real estate, etc.--that are meant to produce some amount of return. You are losing your right to instant access to your cash, but the returns are greater. In many ways, saving can be considered investing because you are getting something back, but the returns are so paltry and it never matches inflation. That's why people suggest you keep money in a rainy day fund, but then invest the rest. It takes money to make money.

They are different. There are few things that they have the same but not really the same. Because savings is only to keep your money to spend and investing is putting your money in business and you wouldn't know what will happened to your money if it is earn a profit or it can lost (not literally ).

Why does a nation need to save & invest when it can print $1T/year and have everyone scream austerity when you simply slow down that rate.

When you are saving, what you are looking for is the ability to access your cash very quickly. You are putting your liquid cash into an iron box and telling the bank that they are welcome to use that money to lend it to other people, they can pay you for that right, but you better have that money when you want it.
