Topic: The best way to invest Bitcoin? (Read 4884 times)

Yeah, IMO, I think if you invest a little bit into the crypto stocks for a promising company, that should be a good investment, especially when you get dividends daily or every 48hrs. But, do not buy stocks in companys that have a bad rep, are too new and not transparent, and who has a future that could just go downhill mostly (like btc mining shares).

Other than that, trading. The best thing to do for trading, is find an application that has real-time data for the graphs, can add stop-loss orders, and does not ask for your password, but for an API key.

Botting is another option, but comes with a bit of risk. If you want a bot, pm me and I can hook you up with one.

The problem with that is that usually those casino sites are run by scammers. Or they don't care about attracting customers. I really miss Just Dice

Invest it in a Gambling site. 

I think you can invest in a gambling bitcoin site.

They best way is to slowly and systematically make a plan of how much you can spend on Bitcoin.  Don't buy all at once because if the price goes down you will not be pleased.  There is no rush so just buy in small increments over time on the price fluctuations. This is good so you know your happy with the price point your buying at over a period of time I think.

If you have the time and patience to deal with all types of situations and people,
i think bitcoin loans can be the best profit making thing for you.
The risk is also great, but so are the profits

cheers

Just buy the underlying. It's terribly undervalued and definitely the best risk-reward ratio in town (investing can increase the potential reward, but the risk is so much bigger).

What casino should I invest?

This are all highly speculative investments, even when compared to other bitcoin related investments. For all of these suggestions you are almost certain to lose money on and the latter of them will probably lose nearly all your money.

I'd like to try an automatic trader, but wouldn't know how to program it. P.M. me if you have any resources where I can learn enough to earn 

A leverage trading exchange is a good investment. IPO's are also good if you get a legit one, they usually have high returns. Scrypt cloud miners are a good investment right now if you can find good prices. Cryptostocks are also a good idea.

Depends on how big your BTC is right now. If you got a lot. Try to hold em until the end of the year lets jsut see what happens and post another thread again.

Why what will be happening by 2020?

Some casinos/dices offer the option to invest in house. So you are betting against the gamblers. If the house edge is 1%, the math dictates that you should get a profit eventually (unless someone is lucky and clears all the funds).

What do you mean invest in casino? straight gambling?

Invest in a casinò (Not dicebitco.in) can be a good choice.

Or, buy an automatic trader, program it and then earn 

Yup, buy and hold until 2020 is a legit strategy.

maybe hold it until 2020

Hold as in never invest, never spend, never bet?

I think the offered rate on LTC is even higher (around 21%), although the price of LTC has gone down a lot over the past several months. so part of the risk of giving a LTC swap is that the price will decline.

Best safe way for the 99% is to put a small amount of your income into BTC. Say 0.1 monthly. In 12 month's you'll have about 1 BTC considering in some months it may go higher and lower so you can't exactly buy 0.1.

Put some of the FIAT you get with a normal job ian BTC, its the only way 

many ways to invest bitcoin. invest in cloudmining, such PBmining.com or in CEX.IO. if you have a large enough fund money, then cloudmining is the right choice, but that it should be remembered that every investment must have a risk, be it small or large risk, depending on the type such as whether we are, what challenges like a huge risk or vice versa. hopefully you can find a safe and profitable investment ...

There is no guarantee that these rates will continue. I also would speculate that it has something to do with the recent crash that was likely margin related in that people are now having to pay more interest to fund their leveraged trades.

The first thing is that you should investigate/research about the best way to invest your bitcoin. Things to consider is all up to you. Then investigate more. Ask people about it and then invest a small amount first and try to observe and then invest what amount you want.

Interest rates for USD are still quite decent, about 14% per year, which is quite more, and with much less volatility, than what you can expect to get from the stock market in the long run.

Interest rates for both BTC and USD are both very low, however the risk is generally very low as well. They are not insured/backed by any insurance company, government agency or anything else that would making lending money on there risk free, but they have shown that they are able to manage their overall risk and have shown the ability and willingness to increase margin requirements when appropriate.

True. Some people think: "investing in gambling=gambling". But it's quite opposite. If you don't believe in gambling and think that every gambler will lose eventually, then invest in the house. Math is on your side.
I consider it a rather safe investment (putting aside the risks I mentioned above).
I made a small profit on investments on both JustDice and DogeDice (although gambled away a lot of DOGE), and doing OK on dicebitco.in and prcdice.

Actually investing in gambling site is good as there is 1% house edge, you should win in the long run.

I think you must investing in BTCJam.

Look in to Cryptocoin stocks. In the past, they have been good investments for me

Gambling is the worst way to invest your money, don't even think about that or you will enter in a tunnel which never ends...

My first thoughts were to put my Bitcoins in gamblings but since I don't believe in casinos or I don't trust in luck  or something that is not in my hands I don't want to do that option.

The best way is to work and spend a % of ur money in btc.

Investing in bitcoins is very risky, you could end up losing all your stake, I would hold all the coins.

mining with free power

Invested my bitcoin on gambling sites. If returns are in, I will get them and trade for cash or service.

It's pretty scary how many people would advise to just sit on your bitcoins and wait for the massive price increase...
Why do you want to do that?
Why not:
- look for a merchant that sells whatever you need to buy and offers discount for BTC payments (hopefully more merchants will do that)
- pay with bitcoins
- buy back straight away the amount of BTC you've spent

You can use the $ saved to buy more BTC and consider it a good investment (providing you bought something you needed, and would buy it anyway). But most of all, you invested in in bitcoin adoption (which can increase the value of your bitcoins), unlike all of those who just bought X amount of BTC just to hold it and wait for the price to reach $10k or whatever.

It doesn't take much imagination to know that if everyone just holds, then bitcoin is going nowhere.

-----------

Other investment, worth considering is investing on dice sites (be the bank), such as dicebitco.in or prcdice.eu Yes, it's a bit of a gamble (but every form of investment has a risk attached). Since it's 1% house edge, the math is on your side. From my experience, it can be really stressful to watch your investment being deep on red, but if you're patient it should go green eventually. The main risk is you have to trust the devs to not run away with the money and there's also a risk of site being hacked.

Best is to research market and buy some nice altcoins that will bust in a bubble in few weeks You will be rich in no time at all.

I don't like to invest my BTC. Maybe in a bull market, I'll look into some pump-and-dump altcoins for a quick trade. But lending and investing is very risky -- lots of fly-by-night players here. Is stick to holding BTC and trading it against USD to hedge.

Couldn't agree more with what has been said. Buying bitcoin with money when you can and then holding onto it is the best way to invest. Putting any kind of money into anything could only result in you being out of pocket, it's always best to invest what you know you can afford and then hold and wait.

You are the second person who vote for Bitfinex. Do you have an account there? Are any differences between that and Bitstamp?

The best way is to buy, and hold. Don't put any money in mining or cloud mining.

Bitfinex is fine as long as you want to change the BTC for USD, as interest rates for BTC are very low.

Just buy and hold and let the value/price of bitcoin go up on its own. If you try to multiply your bitcoins by investing you're going to get burnt by a bunch of scammers. Really your only other legit option is to day trade bitcoin on bitfinex if you are knowledgeable in that subject.

Agreed.

When I first got involved with bitcoin I was excited about the prospect of "investing" them.  I am so glad I didn't.  Almost everything I looked at would have been a disaster compared to simply holding them.  Basically if you want to invest in bitcoin then just buy it and store it safely.  Maybe use it in transactions to foster adoption.  There are no safe or well understood "investments" yet.  About the best you could do historically would have been something like investing on Just Dice where you could be the bank, but even then considerable trust was involved and they've since shut down - though they did return all the coins to their investors.

I agree. I personally think all of the above ways to invest your bitcoin will generally not ROI.

I would suggest making loans with collateral, however this is very time intensive.

Buy with FIAT its the only way.

I don't like any of these ways. They all involve a lot of unnecessary risk. I especially do not like the third way (mining) as almost all miners available to the public (people with a small amount to invest) will almost certainly never ROI.

Several people on here have also said dollar cost averaging however this is really not very different then investing in terms of fiat, but the OP is wanting to invest in terms of bitcoin.

Im dollar cost averaging aka investing little peanuts I have left after taxes and monthly expenses, but slowly im building up my first BTC, also thanks to sig campaings.

There are no best way 
But there are good way to invest :
- Trading
- Arbitrage Trading
- Mining (You should check ROI / break even before invest)

3 of them is good & safe way (for me)

don't compare BTC with Gold . because we will use BTC as Diamond which has high cost you will need huge money to buy single BTC because you know we can mine limited BTC in the market and need of the BTC will increase too much in future

Good ol buy and hold technime, same as used for gold.

Dollar cost average seems like the more legitimate way to me.

The best approach to BTC investment is withholding your stocks when there's market recession and wait to sell when there's a boom.

I think investing bitcoin is a longterm investation, you can not earn a lot of bitcoin in the near future, you must wait and see when you investing bitcoin
At anywhere you investing it, you must wait and see, hopefully you can find the place which is safe and profitable to investing it ...

The best is via exchange of fiat for BTC

trading coin or hold btc, invest mostly ponzi
you can also sell btc and open a business in the real world

This is easiest, most direct way to invest in bitcoin. Choose Coinbase as your exchange. Backed by Silicon Valley royalty, Coinbase combines the two things you need to start collecting bitcoin: a wallet (a digital place to receive, send, and/or store your bitcoin), and an exchange (to buy the bitcoin with U.S. dollars).

Investing bitcoins is a risky business, I would prefer to hold them without playing with unknown investments.

Buy if you want an easy double next year.

buy and hold is mandatory for bitcoin, but you could add some trading when you see a pump, it's risky yes, but invest small amount in that not too much

Having fiat, buying and holding for ages.

Most of you are telling me as follow:

Buy BTC and wait 5-10 years. Then you will see a hugh profit. 

Best and laziest way to invest is buy 10 btc, put them into paper cold storage, forget it, and come back in 5 years.

Daily fluctuation will just distract you on the long term price of btc.

Yup, the best that can be done is to buy a decent amount, say 10, then cold storage it, FORGET about it, then come back 10 years later, see what happened. You either wasted a lot of money or you either won SHIT TONS of money.
Of course, the tentation to not follow the BTC world once you are in is almost impossible.

Why ever invest bitcoin,Just store them cold and keep your hands folded rather than risking it onto such exchanges.

Where do you live?
There are some dutch websites which makes it very easy to buy from a bank account.
Don't know if advertising is allowed , PM me is you want to know.

just buy directly bitcoin(nothing to invest that can rise your bitcoin amount, though), and store them in a cold storage, don't leave them in the exchange never

The best is not to invest your bitcoin, investing into bitcoin itself is good enough..

I have listened so many stories about scams, exchanges which disappear etc that I decided to store all my savings in cold storage without investing them anymore.

The best way is invest in sound bitcoin related business that isn't depended on btc price.

Richard Brandson and few Asia wealthy businessman have invested in bitpay (payment processing for bitcoin). Should bitcoin and alt coins market gain higher acceptance, they will benefit from the gain without taking price fluctuation risk.

you are right but this is only for those investors who can wait for a long time . some are short term investor who wants to invest money for short period Bitcoin is long a process it takes few years to grow in market but I am happy to hold my BTC for long time

You have already invested into bitcoin, so why do you want to invest your investment into something other?
Just give it 1-2 year tops and you will see it gain way higher value even without further investing and risking them.

hold bitcoin, man, just sit and wait.

I would say you should sell your gh/s right away. This is generally a loosing investment. If you simply hold your BTC you will likely at least somewhat profit. I do believe that bitfinex swaps were somewhat behind the latest crash, however AFAIK the swap holders did not lose any money as a result of the crash.

Bitfinex margin lending is a possibility
P2P lending via the likes of btcjam is another possibility though imho much riskier

Dude, I don't have nothing more in CEX.io. I said that I went out of there.

Hold it, did Bitfinex with their "safe invest" flag made the last chaos?

I don't think you should put your money into GHs at cex.io.

Putting your money in btcjam is very risky, especially if you only have a little bit to invest. I would suggest putting it in bitfinex and lending it in swaps. You would earn ~6% per year which isn't much but it would be pretty safe IMO.

Once, I started with Cex.io's business but I get out as fast as I could and start changing my investing in BTCJam. Now, some people tell me that put the BTC in loans is very dangerous because the price.

And I was like...

What then, is the best way to invest Bitcoin, given the amount of start-ups and business that are right now? Which one is the best according to you?
