Topic: [LIST] Popular Sites to Invest Bitcoins! - page 12. (Read 80899 times)

Ok I added it, never knew there were forex CFD brokers using bitcoins, good to know.

If you got any more suggestions write them here.

missing 1broker in your list OP. you can trade stocks and stuff with bitcoin there.

Thanks for this list, is good so see some Non-Ponzy investments sites to make profit by the secure way.

Its not gambling, you invest in the house. They give you a % share of what the house earns.

You can gamble too, but these are casinos specifically for investment purposes.

Its like a long term bond.

gambling site is not investing guys,
if you know how the gambling site is based on luck, if you're not lucky, then you will lose your bitcoin deposit.

yeah I know there are many options above, I just wanted to take away from the site I have ever played.
binary so good but i cant play it

There are more than just that 3, check the first post, and choose from those too.

I havent tried out those, but maybe later I will.  I am more interested now in Bitplutos's anonymous binary option platform, it seems pretty cool.

I want to try to invest in a gambling site. I had three options. Just-dice, Bitdice or Moneypot? which one is better in your opinion?

Satoshidice is definitely a good one, we are using it too! It is safe and it gives a good flow of profits in my experience.

i think bit-x has really good services for investing in cloud mining

No experience with Poloniex, but plenty with Bitfinex... here goes...

I don't keep money at Bitfinex on a permanent basis. The rate for BTC swaps (you lend your BTC to a trader who wants to short BTC) is usually pretty low, lower (usually) than the rate for USD swaps (I know nothing about LTC swaps. Hell, I know next to nothing about LTC). Take a look at the second graph on this page - particularly with longer time frames (12 months to "all time"). You can see the "FRR" (the variable rate) occasionally spikes up high, then very quickly falls back about 50%, then slowly continues to decline (to around 0.0055%). (That's a daily rate, by the way - multiply by 365.25 for an approximation of the annual equivalent).

The way I use swaps is to keep my money away most of the time, watch the FRR, and prepare to pile in some (a fraction) of my BTC if the FRR spikes, and get out once the rate falls to around 25% of the peak. Over time I've achieved an average slightly under 10% annual. Which isn't great, but is way better than I could get with fiat in a local bank, and looks comparable to BTC-Jam. In my view the risk is less than BTC-Jam - Bitfinex take on the risk. However, there is still the risk that the exchange itself fails, or takes my money and runs.

FRR is variable - if you loan out money on FRR you'll get higher payments if the rate goes up. I don't advise you do this. Everyone does - and the result is there's a metric shed-load of BTC sitting, un-loaned, at the FRR. Instead I recommend setting your own - fixed rate. Take a look at the top graph on this page and set your rate appropriately. Use low durations at first - two days max. In fact always use low durations unless the rate is exceptional (0.1%+ is my benchmark, but I'm seriously thinking about raising it). Incidentally, that duration isn't guaranteed - borrowers can repay loans early, and will do so, particularly if the FRR is falling and they believe they can get a cheaper loan.

Bitfinex lives and dies on its trading engine - not on swaps, though obviously swaps help with liquidity and keep trading going. However, it does mean that if the trading engine is buggy worry. Their trading engine looks to me to be buggy as hell. Compare BTC/USD rates at Bitfinex with other exchanges, and you'll see a serious disparity during the crash a few weeks back - most exchanges stayed above $200, 'finex went well below. That's probably largely due to margin calls, but while the crash was happening there were multiple reports from traders about trading issues and withdrawal issues (to be fair, I had no problem withdrawing - I think only traders were affected). I started slowly withdrawing all my remaining BTC at that point, missing a large spike in the FRR a few days later - c'est la vie, and at least I still have my BTC. Bitfinex is still in beta (like everything online these days), but they are backed - apparently - by a registered company (mind you, wasn't Enron a registered company?!)

tl;dr: the return isn't great, there is a risk of the exchange failing, and to get the best rates you need to proactively manage your loans. However, you don't need to worry about collateral from the counter-party - Bitfinex do that for you. Is it worth it? I don't know. I kinda suspect I'd have made as much if I'd invested the same amount of time playing with faucets. I strongly suspect that if I'd spent the time earning fiat I could have bought more BTC instead.

Usually, all Bitcoin investment sites are ponzi schema in some way or other. Hold your Bitcoins or look for good alts which have future and buy a stake.

I think just fill your full name is enough to WD your amount there. If you want to WD big amount you should provide your id. I haven't any problem just fill my full name and i can still WD with pretty enough amount for me.

id verification are for increase your daily withdraw limit.
so it is not necessary for just withdraw small amount.

Do i need to provide an id with poloniex.com if i want to withdraw my money out?

Well they work like any other liquidity swap.

You lend money to the guys who want to use margin trading (leveraged accounts) and i think you win in both cases even if they win or lose.

Until they use leverages i think the funds are safe, but the interest on it will depend i think on how much loan they take. Of course the price will vary, so there will be volatility, but not much.

They are usually a safer instrument but it all depends how the exchange handles things around, there might be many hidden risks with it, so make sure you read their risk statements.

satoshidice and money pot are both profitable and attractive games but I won't think gambling is profitable from anywhere it is just they are paying us some money so that we can play it more and more until we loss all our banace

your best bet, would be on the auction thread, and bid on the advertisment section where the admin updates.

you`ll be advertising on this forum with the banner, best of luck.

i think recommend most of the links on that thread outside a few.

one of them is btcjam, you`ll have mixed feelings since some have  lost their coins due to people just not paying back.

the other one is bitfnex which their current services are down and wont continue anytime soon.

If you are insterested to invests in advertisement for your site, the ad at the top of my site ( http://bitcoin-catcher.com ) costs just 0.000045 for 1000 impressions.

Good luck!
