Bitcoin Forum

I will be getting about 50 btc to invest, looking for some great investment opportunity, it should be able to give me some handsome returns, open for suggestions, you can even shoot me a pm. If you have some great proposal, i will entertain. You need to show me what value you give and what is the roi and the risks involved.  You can share your experiences on your investments below. I personally had recently lost about 180 bitcoins on some bad investments, so not looking to commit the same mistakes again. The lessons i learned from my failures was 1. do proper research 2. have the right people around you, 3, do not do if you don't know all aspects of it. 4, always get some upfront experience before investing your own money.

Either trade them or risk some of them investing in a casino... But whatever you do, keep most of them in an offline wallet ;)

If you don't mind someone asking, how did you lose the 180 btc? I understand that for people who are relatively inexperienced with trading or investments, or even those who consider themselves experienced, it gets frighteningly easy to lose money investing their funds. If you can give some details you are comfortable with, people with longer trading experience such as myself can offer you a few tips and maybe even directions to better potential investments we know about.

If you are not comfortable talking about it in the thread publicly, we can talk via pm as well.

Looking forward to talking to you more about this :)

A bit scared to invest after the loss, so better right now in the wallet haha :)


I had invested in a bitcoin based restaurant and it happened to go bust. That way i lost 180 btc, my mistake was not knowing much about restaurant business, may be should have called this restaurant impossible guy haha.

Currently, the safest investments are a trezor or a paperwallet.  :D

Seriously though, I do not believe there are any programs or systems that are real and safe, where you can invest.
I know of BTCJam, and have heard of good things if you diversify and do small transactions with only A and B Verfied, but have never used it.

You should just hold for long term.

I am just trying to get some suggestions or business offers to invest if i dont get a great one, i will hold the coins, the value will appreciate over time.

if you can learn how to trade with forex/stocks and all those things on 1broker, with bitcoin, i'm sure it will be profitable in the long run

maybe don't start with something like 50%

I had tried forex and options, didn't go well for me.

Invest in property maybe?


Be an investor for trader and get profit per commision. You need find a right person first.

If you can spare it, I would invest in Ripple/XRP.
100K shares of xrp will cost you about $800, or 3.5 btc.

Ripple is trial testing its crypto technology with 30 banks and is engaged with Western Union, Earthport and other big financial players. The risk to reward ratio is great, considering that everyone is looking for $1 per xrp parity.

Good luck with whatever you choose,

Recently they had some issues about their funds being frozen. Anyways i will see into it.

How about any alt-coins ?

We need a little help our end getting a stellar dev. to do some work. Don't know just throwing this out there :)

Well, i would invest them into promising altcoins. Some coins made a very good performance over the last weeks.
I would not trust any other investment opportunity at the moment.

Ripple Labs was fined by fincen for compliance issues, now they are on the road to 100% compliance (the first crypto to so). There are no frozen funds. If you want to research go to xrptalk.com, very helpful forum.

Altcoins i tend to find very risky, some altcoins i have watched had wild swings and some even disappeared without trace. I need to find  a investment that will give me some returns monthly or  bi weekly.

good to know that it is solved, i will see into it.

Got it make sense thanks for the response!  ;D

dude, just hold them or you will probably lose all. good luck.  ::)

I would like to test the waters in the altcoin scene, if some good coins are to be found giving decent returns over week i may give it a go.

Thanks, if i don't find a great investment, i will hold the coins 100% don't want to ever repeat the same mistake ever, had so many sleepless nights.

i would buy some (10-20%) Litecoin (second biggest crypto) but keep the rest of your BTC. when you buy other cryptos, you can also go to a casino. there are no "better coins" than bitcoin. bitcoin will be no 1.

do some research about network effects. take a look at the amount of investment and brain-power in bitcoin.

the best investment oppurtunitiy is to start a bitcoin company.


just my advice...  (or gamble)  ;)

i pm'ed you what i think about it ;)

I can imagine. Trading must be done conservatively and after all the research and risk management is taken into consideration - something that took me some time to master as well. Your best bet is to reach out and find sources of passive income (providing bitfinex btc swap for example, but that will at best net you 0.05% profit a day, and with 50btc, will net you 0.75 btc or barely 1.5% a month - very low). Lending is a good option if you know who you are talking to (ID, etc).

I am personally doing trading and investing on btc movements, and so far I have been doing quite well. I previously had an account here used for that purpose, with loan history to prove that I can do business with decent % return every month (8-10 %). I was unsure of security after the last bitcointalk.com hack so I created a brand new account. The largest loan I concluded was about 8 btc in size that lasted over a few months, so if you are interested in making passive income with interest on loans, I will be happy to accommodate the terms. If you wish, I can also do phone calls and ID verification (would be an easy thing if you lived in US especially), or if you live close, even in person interview.

Let me know if you are interested via pm :)

Thanks for the recommendation, i will do some research into current state of Litecoin and decide to invest or not.

It will be nice if you can send me a proposal via pm, i am going to call it a day, feeling tired and sleepy, going to get some rest.

Of course. Looking forward to talking to you more :)

yes HODL.

Glad I'm not the only one. I wish you all the best in your investments. You seem to understand the risks that you may be getting yourself into. That knowledge is invaluable.

Looking at current situation right now, it's still much safer to just hold on to your coins and not doing anything while waiting for adoption to pick up and go mainstream. Invest in some security hardware wallets to protect your coins to make sure it's safe. While waiting you can continue to increase your stash size and buying at every opportunity when there is a drop.

first of all i have to say, if you believe that bitcoin price is going to rise, holding your bitcoins is the best option for you.

but if you want to invest.
since 50BTC is around 11500$ you might have a good chance of investing the fiat into some business and get a good profit out of that with much lower risk than any other bitcoin investment. the business that i am talking about can be different in every country so you have to ask people close to you.

if you want to invest bitcoin [not fiat]
the thing that i like to do with my stash is investing them in altcoin market and do a little trading. the profit can be good if you know how to do it.

I'd say the best investment you can do is learning how to trade forex or stocks so that you are the only point of failure in your strategy.
I don't think you can invest in reliable startups or projects with that low amount. You can gamble on some companies that are trying to become big, like ASICMINER did and we all know how it ended, but we had a huge bubble before the bust so that's to keep in mind. Keep an eye on the securities forum and do your homework everytime before investing.

You could always consider investing or even starting your own gambling site. Whilst it is likely a big risk the returns can be huge (especially if you create your own site).


Can you tell me more about your trading strategy via PM? I've got about 20btc I want to invest in trading but haven't been that sucessful so far (minimal profits). I was planning to just hold my btc as an investment but the market seems to be pretty stagnant and doesn't seem to be going any where soon so I'd like to make my money work for me now by trading.

you need to buy those alt that has a very low value, so you can buy many of them and at their first rise(usually they have no other direction than rising, because they are dead already, so if they move in one direction it will be probably up) you dump

you can start to invest only 0.1 on some 100-1k satoshi altcoin, if it raise to 1k-10k(very possibile), you have x10 profit easily, it may sound stupidly easy, but this is how it work in that jungle

just don't invest in some old unknown coin, better to stay with the recent ones

Of course. I will send you a pm right away.
