Ok here's another idea. Get these little BTC in an exchange and buy some really really really low altcoin and hope it takes off, then cash out in BTC. Repeat this step until you have enough BTC to secure moon status in 10 years.

You could try trading altcoins for fun, and maybe manage to transform that amount into something bigger.

Goof around with them to learn about sending, receiving and storing bitcoins. Work to add to your stash! Gamble some if that's your thing. One of the nice things about bitcoin is that you can gamble microscopic amounts of money!

Only if you can accept the fact that you can lose everything, you can gamble. People either get addicted to gambling or just thought they can win more and bet more, losing all in the end. In the long run, you would most likely lose all.

Yeah it's a war against mathematics that you just can't win. They have a house edge, meaning the longer you play the more probable it is that you lose! It's like in school! Have you ever won anything in maths classes? Haha!

I'd advise everyone new to Bitcoin to just put their BTC into cold storage, on a nice paper wallet and watch it grow. Of course they can take some part of it in order to get to know Bitcoin and play around, but your 'big' stash should be in cold storage, unless you exactly know what you're doing!

As for what to do with them, purchasing a game bundle might be worthwhile since you'll at least get some hours of enjoyment from them. You could always go the gambling route, too. Be aware, though, that you spent months trying to accumulate that coin. Hopefully you can get some months of enjoyment back

Yeah, I purchased Mini Ninjas, along with other 3 games that may be good on the bundle, and it's awesome I will enjoy it. So the best option is to HODL them until another good Humble Bundle shows up XD. It will be worth, at least for me

Hey, that's a completely different take on the situation than everyone else! You are actually proposing buying something that makes fun with the bitcoins rather than investing them somewhere! Kudos! Good thinking!

And it is indeed a very good idea.
Investing with that $5 won't give you much profit, but using it to buy some games could bring you days and weeks of fun. Cheesy

Satoshidice requires at least 0.01, minusing the transaction fees. Bitcoin is worth about $600, 0.01 is $6 which would not be the minimum amount. Their house edge is also very big, so that gamblers might not win as much as lower house edge games.

don't gamble the money no matter what anyone says

if if took a long time to earn it, it will take a long time to earn it back Cheesy

I'd just keep it safe and put it in a paper wallet! Much safer! The risk of falling for a scam is just too high, still!

I would suggest having some fun with it. Try trading with it and see if you can't increase it exponentially. Or gamble.

If it's such a little amount that I means nothing to you, store in an offline wallet and just keep for years and see what happens.

Or if you don't want that hassle put it on a 10-1 long shot on some gambling website. Or donate it to a charity.

How is it "OVER $4-5"? It's either over $4, over $5, or between $4 and $5.
