Hey , I have bought 20.3~ Btc when it was 430USD . Now when price jumped high i would like to invest in something .
I dont want something very risky with high profit ,
I wanna invest in something with 2-2.5% monthly profit .

For example : If i invest 20 BTC , in one month ill have 20.4 BTC ( 20BTC + 2% = 20.4)

For one who give me idea or help me ill pay some btc for being helpful and good

Best regards

20 BTC is really a big amount.Instead of investing,you could just hold your bitcoins for just six more months as bitcoin price may even cross $3500 by that time since segwit would be activated.So be a little bit patient.

I would also not put anywhere bitcoins. Just keeping is a good strategy. This will save you from scams and losses that can occur if you invest coins in unreliable campaigns

Trading will make me rich)

I'd leave 50% as is - in BTC

The other half can be splitted 50/50 between let's say 50% for ICOs (I mean the tokens that are meant to be some equity in startup) and crowdfunding campaigns (using platforms like bnktothefuture.com etc) & 50% for promising "coins" like "Bitcoin 2.0 or 3.0" etc)))

Crowdfunding and tokens are more like long time investment, so it's better forget about it for some time
But I'd keep an eye on the "coins" updates like new features planned and other key events, selling/buying sometimes (buy on rumor, sell on fact etc)).

I used similar aproach myself and will do again for sure, results can be amazing especialy if you'd spend some days for due diligence before making the decision what to buy...

If I would be having 20 btc in my wallet then I would go crazy as its too big amount to hold and cannot afford to take any risk by investing it at a wrong place so I would play safe and hold my coins in wallet and wait for the price to go higher so that I can sell them and make higher profits.

Yes you are right if you have 20 bitcoin you can not invest in other activities or business because if you invest your bitcoin in business and you have no knowledge about business that how can you establish your business and without knowledge you invest your bitcoin in business you can lose your money. So you right that if you have 20 bitcoin you hold for long time in future its value will be more increase .

Why would anyone risk a possible $10k that you can have from holding for another possible $1000 from an investment in something like a casino?

Greed. People think in the way that just holding Bitcoin isn't gaining them anything (aside from the fiat value). Some even say that holding is boring.... Point is that people have their focus aimed at increasing the number of coins that they have, and not so much the value in fiat terms that may or may not increase. That's why people constantly look for ways as trading, cloud mining, investing in casino bank rolls, lending, etc.

If I were OP and had 20BTC right now i wouldn't risk an investment. There's a high chance Bitcoin will break $3000 this year and you have a lot to gain just by holding it.
Investing is taking a risk. Why would anyone risk a possible $10k that you can have from holding for another possible $1000 from an investment in something like a casino?

Poloniex Lending gives you 3-5% per month. You are "only" risking your whole stash to an exchange.

I like this idea if
a) Lending BTC was kept in cold storage
b) Insured by LLoyd's
c) routinely audited

The borrower is using your BTC to buy Altcoins. So cold storage is obviously not an option.

But the system itself is safe (you can read about it)

"Only" risks are the standard exchange risks (site being hacked, site vanishes, ...)

Why wouldn't cold storage be an option. all it means is that the wallet holding the lent coins has an offline private key and procedures of who, how and when transactions can be signed offline and broadcast.
These exchanges are built on proprietary systems. coins can be traded a million times and between different crosses, all happening in MySQL database. once a withdrawal is requested they can use hot wallet or cold wallet depending on how much outgoing.

No system is safe. Period.

You start you last statement with "only", but end in ellipses "..." they can not be used in the same statement. And risks are everything under the sun.

You could try collateral backed peer-to-peer lending in fiat, but still that tops out at 15% pa for the most risky investments so still nowhere near the 2% per month that you want

You can invest that in poloniex for sure you can earn interest everymonth . You can try also lending section but befoe the loaner get the loan they need to give you collateral so you can make sure that your money is safe. You can invest also your bitcoin in trading and for sure you will earn a lot of bitcoin in just 1 month only. Remember all investmenr is riskybut if yiu want to prevent loss you need to think wise and make a lot of research before investing.

If this is your life savings then you should just hold you btc and wait for a couple more years and I'm sure it'll profit in a couple of years more but if you don't want anything risky my suggestion would be lending in the trading site Poloniex.

your aim profit is not high and i think still possible to get profit with low risk but if i may to suggest that there are some trustable gambling sites which is have investment sites as their feature and maybe you could considering it but better not putting all of your bitcoin into 1 site only and separated it such as 40% for investing on gambling site and hold the rest as your long term investment because in the cryptocurrency there are plenty benefit from holding bitcoin

It won't be a bad idea to give out loans here in Bitcointalk (only to the trusted members). Another option could be to invest this amount in some new Bitcoin exchange or gambling site. There are a lot of options. Investing in an altcoin such as Ether or Litecoin is another attractive option.

Sometimes those trusted ones are not really trusted. Maybe they will scam you. You'll never tell. Better to hold it for some many years and for sure it would do a profit. Don't gamble or trade it, its too risky If you're not comfortable to it.

Bitcoin is investment, just with keeping you will have nice profit in other currencies. But if you wish to risk your investment with investing bitcoins in some rising business then you need to do much better research then asking people here about it, you have specialized advisers, for good information you need to pay, even I know that.
I would not risk my lifesaving in any kind of business, you check, then give your lawyers to check that, then ask already involved people if you know any one, then do a check again and you can invest your lifesaving.

It depends on what you want to do, since it seems you want to hold your bitcoin there are a few options.

1. Hold your bitcoin. Bitcoin gains more than that a month, you could simply keep holding and earn even more money that way.
2. Invest in casino bankrolls, there is a thread in the forum running an experiment in which the user invested bitcoin in casino bankrolls, and the results have been favorable, he has earned about 4% per month.
3. You could try to lend money on Poloniex, the returns per month are higher than investing in casino bankrolls.

How could investing in a casino's bankroll be conceptually any safer than lending to an exchange? Both are businesses that could go bankrupt, after which they may not be obligated to pay you back.

Maybe he is just basing his statement on the fact that in the long term the house always wins, without actually considering a scenario where both the exchange and the casino in question can go bankrupt. People here usually are very good at discarding potential risks because (A) they just don't care, or (B) they don't see any risks at all. I don't know which of the 2 options is worse....

Poloniex Lending gives you 3-5% per month. You are "only" risking your whole stash to an exchange.

Not a good idea. What would happen if Poloniex owner decides to leave with your hard earned money?

There are also been reports of money lost during margin positions opened, not sure if that also applies to open loan orders.

So just hold your BTC unless you have a clear idea of what to do with them.

That's why investing by margin lending at Poloniex pays 36%+ per year. If I were to go into any other investment and see that they were paying 36% a year, I would consider that a high risk investment. Like a small cap or junk bond. If someone wants to be absolutely safe, they should just buy gold and sit on it. Chances are their ounce of gold, when converted to fiat, will be able to buy the same amount of goods and service, throughout their lifetime. It's the ultimate hedge against inflation. Someone should really evaluate how much risk they are willing to take and invest accordingly.

Holding bitcoin on your safe bitcoin core wallet is already a risk because at the end of the day bitcoin is still experimental and a very brand new class asset. Adding even more risk on top of this by holding it on top of a centralized exchanged is too much for my taste.

Remember that you can lend your bitcoins on poloniex. You can earn up to 0.1% a day, which is actually a very good rate, especially if you reinvest your earnings.

poloniex is the safest way to lend because they act as a middle man (they forcibly close the borrower's trade if they arn't putting in enough margin).

For now poloniex is not a good place to invest right now i heard many issue in poloniex like account suspended or the same as what happen to my account that there are someone are logging in to my account always experience and receive email in poloniex that is why i move my coins to other exchange site..
For me for wise decision like other said better to hold them and save in your wallet because the value of bitcoin is increasing every month.. so that you can get the benefits of the price increase sell them if you already making a good profit and wait for the price down back again..
