Bitcoin Forum

Stocks? Bonds? Bitcoins?? Real Estate?

Honest answer? Tiny apartments near massive, stable job creation locations bought during a recession. At larger scales, industrial real estate. And in my personal opinion, Bitcoin (very long-term). The rest is tricky and I personally try to stay away from other investments.

If you have money on the side that you can without then invest some amount and forget about it. Like deliciousowl has said, this is a very long-term investment that's about 50%-50% at the moment but with a huge potential well worth a risk in my opinion.

This doesn't have to be a big amount, but get some.

I think that real estate in strategic locations can be very profitable. You really have to do your homework on that one.

Bitcoin is in theory a good investment but I suppose we do not know what will happen.

As for the UK, property could give you decent return in relatively short time. Aim for cheaper houses (< GBP 100k, affordable for first time buyers), preferably repossessed by bank, located within less than 1 hour drive from the town centre of any major city. Don't do any major work on it, just refresh the look, give it a proper cleaning and re-paint.

If you're lucky, you can pocket out 30-50% profit in few months. If you struggle to sell, you can always try to rent it out.

As for Bitcoin. Definitely too risky to invest large % of your wealth in it. But as someone said on this forum: you have to be clinically retarded not to own some, just in case.

Bitcoins, everything else is pretty much and attached directly to the fiat scam system. Everything is prone to crash in the next decades and Bitcoin will be the ultimate edge to protect against this crash. Whoever still doesn't see this will not make it.

If investing in real estate, I wouldn't necessary go for houses because you have to do all of the renovations and it's difficult to keep that up while profiting. But good advice aiming for cheaper houses. Starting out with apartments in general may be better because you don't have to usually renovate the actual building itself.

What are your investment aims?

Property can be horrifically illiquid.

Fair point. I guess the main idea would be collecting rent on many small units. But it's important to keep in mind that all investments are risky.

The market is becoming tighter nowadays so it is hard to say what is the best. Bitcoins or altcoins can have huge potential gains within the next few years.

All are really good tips. Which one would you say is relatively the shorter investment?

Haha best one yet

Bitcoin or real estate in university oriented cities :)

I'm looking for both short-term and long-term. I'd like to start out with the shorter term until I'm comfortable enough to move onto longer/larger investments. Not focusing much on risky ones with higher yields, just something that can give me a stable source of side income however small it may be.

How so? More people = higher liquidity?

Land.  Why?  God created land once.  He's not creating them again.

for long term i would like to answer Real Estate because in my country it could be a good investment for the future and the price always be continues to rise each year and for short term i think USD or bitcoin could be good investment

I would say real estate is mostly always a good investment, (especially near tube stations or Universities) but then again im not a homeowner myself yet, Bitcoins, imo i would say yeah invest in Bitcoin too because if it takes off, its going to reaaaally take off, if it doesn't it doesn't but you dont need to invest very large amounts unless your pockets allow for this (never invest more than you can afford to loose as they say)


When you say less than 100k i dont suppose you mean anywhere in or around London? if you do, if you don't mind pointing me in the right direction =) would be appreciated lol

also, how would one go about buying repo'd properties? auctions?

Property is good if you are smart but it is also a ton of work and is not a passive investment.

Best strat imo is to invest in good real estate markets and then keep leftovers in metals/cash/btc, no reason to fuck around with stocks or gubmint bonds.

dont risk land..
bare land is bare for a reason.
contamination, dedicated greenspot (no development allowed)

it takes alot of research and council meetings to change the purpose of the land.. however buying a property(building/apartment), your already 98% there. u just gotta buy cheap and sell higher.

most people can have very quick success.. if at auction, you see a handful of bidders competing against you, simply get your competitors contact details. and give them a call a couple days after u win the auction.. add a couple £k to your win value and then offer it to your competition for that new higher price.
usually all bidders give up £10k-£20k below their total budget if they think the competition (you) has it in the bag. so if u won by being just £5k higher. you have £5k-£15k of wiggle room in their budget for you to use to your advantage.
quick flip with no work done, easy money in the right auction house (enough competitors names&phone numbers)

if not, then just do what other suggest and tart it up a little, and resale to someone else.

i think,t depend to who you are,and how much you will invest. lets see about bitcoin,you had to looking for many predictions source,atleast it will make you know that you have to invest on fluctuative thing. and about real estate,its a big investement,you must have a big money,when you lose it,you have lost big amount of money. but if you patience for a long term investement,not hard to be rich man!  ;)

If you are good at them, stocks and shares can earn you a lot of money. If you are not too good with using shares and stocks, just use Bitcoin. Buy bitcoin at low prices and sell it at high prices. You will make a decent profit.

The best investment is the one that offers the greatest return for the least amount of risk.

Since none of us can predict which investment will give us the greatest return in the future (for the least amount of risk) it's wise to spread our investments around to multiple asset classes.

I'd recommend investing a bit in stocks, bitcoin, and real estate (in the form of real estate investment trusts if you can't buy property). Bonds are trickier. We're at a unique time where interest rates are at their lowest point. This means if you buy a bond today, it will not be worth as much as other bonds will at some point in the future when rates rise a bit. I'd stay away from bonds all together right now UNLESS you're buying the bond and holding it until maturity (definitely don't touch bond mutual funds!)

The best investment is best company shares, such as Google and Apple in the early days. But it is difficult to pinpoint the best companies.

bitcoin right now, this child is still very far away from its potentially not even funny, everyone in the futrue will regret to not have invested in bitcoin right now

when 400-500 marks, will only look like crumbs

How about bitcoin ? It is in it's early days, and the extent of success are limitless. imho every investor should hold atleast part of his/hers funds in it.
It's not that hard to see that with years bitcoin is only going to rise in both power and price.

I couldn’t agree more, compared to more conventional investments such as stocks or bonds, the market for bitcoins is still in its infancy.

There s no single best investment. The key is to differentiate.

30% savings, 30% real estate, 30% low risk securities and 10% BTC.

Definitely real estate for a long term investment, but get some knowledge on trading.

i would say real estate are the best for investment, but nowadays investing just getting too risky so i didn't invest any btc yet, will be better saving on gold

I am with you on this one, real estate is a great way to invest your money.

The good thing about real estate is that you get rent paid every month and you still have your money, but are not able to spend more than a fraction at a time. This also limits spending sprees and encourages you to be frugal. And after 8 - 12 years its 100% profit, while you could still sell the property. Just don't buy at the peak of a bubble.... If the apartment is small AND fancy in a popular location, you can rent it out on a weekly basis to tourists for much higher amounts.

I think in Hungary there are currently lots of options to buy small apartments for dirt cheap ($30,000) at the moment. A real estate mogul friend of mine told me it would be a good idea to invest in that, but I haven't researched or looked into it. Please don't take my word for it, and do your own research. These are just ideas. He basically said it as a fleeting comment so I don't even know whether he looked into it that much or not. Someone else told me Hungary is too expensive for real estate... but that person didn't know shit to be honest.

What I thought was hilarious is that a friend of mine in the UK lives in fancy hotels throughout the entire year because with deals, negotiation and all the services provided it is much cheaper for him than to rent an apartment. He does own a property but he doesn't plan to live there, so it's rented out for a higher price than he pays for hotels. Ridiculous...

Noted! Thank you all. It seems like real estate is the better investment for long-term and bitcoins for short.
What about commodities? I don't see people investing in them much.

what i would not do though is sell bitcoin to invest into fiat for real estate..
so if you only have a huge pile of bitcoin.. keep it..

but if u are starting off with fiat.. then for me id say split your funds.
50% real estate
50% bitcoin.

as for the time scales.. well you can flip a house in under a year, and bitcoin has the potential to double in under a year (thanks to reward halving)
so its not so easy to say if its a short or long term investment.. it just depends on the environment and bitcoin/real estate market conditions.

The best, in my opinion, is not put all the money in the same investment. You can have a part on stocks and another part on bitcoins. And only invest what you can afford to loose.

Commodities is mainly suitable to be invested by institutions. The commodity price is cyclical, ordinary people cannot grasp the peak and bottom. The main benefit of commodity investment is a hedge against inflation.

For stock investment, if you find a good company, you can hold the shares for very long time and benefit from the price rise.

The best investment according to me is patience...
I know it sucks when you need to remain silent on few things, but you will need to currently wait and watch the markets as I feel if you are into Bitcoins and want to invest in it, better stay away from it currently as you don't know what will be the lows these days...
You should wait till the first 20 days of November, then you can go ahead and get some good amount of BTC at lower rates because that's when the real manipulation game starts... ;)

The best for A is not the best for B and not the best for C...etc.
 

There is no universal answer to this question. It depends on:

1) Risk aversion or risk tolerance
2) Can you afford to lose the capital
3) What returns are you looking for

Without this information the question is unanswerable.

If you are just looking for high returns the answer is anything with volatility. Anything. Penny stocks. Altcoins. Anything. Then time the wild swings of price correctly and you'll make a lot of money. Time the swings incorrectly: you lose.

I see. I was thinking along the lines of gold bars and silver coins rather than crude oil. What are the cons to investing in them?

I'm listening...

Real state use to be very good, but then with the crisis it is doubtful that a big profit would be obtained. Futhermore, you need lots of cash to buy real state.

Bitcoin can go wrong (risky) but looks good. I would invest at least some on it.

Something that holds/increases it's value over time.

There is nothing else under the sun worth investing long term besides Bitcoin. Bitcoin is the only thing that will resist the hyperinflation insanity while being fit for the 21 century and beyond.

If your in a country that has High inflation rates then it would be good to invest in real estate as the worth of it keeps on increasing over time but you need to always be alert, it's like trading but using lands so be aware of which places are going to have an improved levels of living in near future then buy it and once everything is good then the price of it is certainly higher as well and that's the time you could sell it... Other than that is of course BTCitcoin for obvious reasons ;)

Well the best return you may have nowadays and is showing it is bitcoin,last month it was on the 300 dollars and it had raised 100 dollars ,soo its 30% i doubt there is such investment giving such reward the thing is that you can go full and blind into bitcoin as it can drop and make you cry .

Bitcoin is a good investment. But the price is volatile. It is better not to hold too much of it. Trading a little bit is OK.

Where I am - the best investment in terms of risk/reward without requiring a significant amount of skill and effort is just property. Property just keeps going up. Otherwise - you might be decent at picking stocks or if you're extremely talented (and this is edge cases) - you could pick your own stocks with your own capital. But honestly, no one is going to give you advice that works perfectly as all forms of investment are about getting an edge over someone else - in nearly everything for you to make significant money you have to 'take' it from someone else (exception is business where people freely trade money for your G/S).

I think there are no best in investment
because I think everything will going up and down.  :'(

These no best investment there is always risk in investment. You can divide your money and put in stock,bond,,real state, etc. Do.t put your egg in one basket.

ok...but how do you calculate the "risk/reward"
I have 2 investment systems where you do not know the risk and ...you do not know the reward.
Not easy to divide the risk by the reward if you do not know both...

invest in stock is the best way to make a saving for me.

bitcoin is better stocks is going no where, besides the occasionally trend that shift and it is there for traders only

bitcoin is growing very nice recently, and it will explode in a few month with the halving, hell even litecoin exploded...

 https://i.imgur.com/20oYTPu.jpg

basically, if you can't beat it, ignore it, instead of joining it, It has always been what I did until now, and not only with money

To invest in a stock is the market risk, rather than investing in stock you can invest in real estate which is 100% secure.

Haha you must be out of your mind. I would never ever touched stocks except I am a professional trader that doesn't look to invest in any of them but just buys and sells to make a profit. There is 10 times more speculation and malversations in the stock market than in the Bitcoin world.

Stock market is just a damn lottery nothing else!

There are many. However, my pick is:

1. Bullion (Gold, Platinum, Palladium, Silver.etc)
2. Precious stones (Ruby, Diamond, Emerald, Tanzanite.etc)
3. Real Estate (Farmland, Plots.etc)
4. Rare artwork (Paintings, Ancient coins.etc)
5. Bitcoin

I see your list but the best one is bitcoin since with a small investment around 400 dollars you can make easy 10 and 30% income from it,the new year should let us know if bitcoin will keep growing slowly or faster ,as we are getting closer the end of mining that most people says it will be at 2100.

you can invest your bitcoin in Ambercoin. you be a shareholders in there. guide for be a share holder:

1. get your ambercoin (You can mine it or buy it on one of the exchanges)
2. You should download an AmberCoin wallet.
3. Then move there coins that you have.
4. To register your wallet you just need to send a message to info@amber-trade.com containing your wallet address.

Great question. Now some people here asking where they can invest their bitcoin or other currency can go to this thread for some ideas.
Some thread could be purified a little bit.
Now I am trying to read some replies and might consider some. But I will still see the legitimacy for safety purposes.

Bitcoin is incredibly intriguing. Personally, I still don't feel like I can fully grasp the pros and cons of digital currency. Bitcoin? I would say yes.

Yeah bitcoin is the good investment option, but here diversification is the key to success and we need to diversify our investments in different products so even if suffer losses from one product we can recover it from other, So I would like to diversify investments into bitcoins and gold as I have more faith in gold as compared to the bitcoins.

Yes there is still room for learning. And from a good point there is always something new. There is also always that is happening and it is exciting to see how it the currency moves. Sometimes a leap though not just a step. Through rise and fall I love seeing it changing.

I made a generalization on the basis of a layman that doesn't have the skills to model other financial options accurately.

On a simplistic level - a basic analysis of market trends and historical values would be relevant indicators for risk (in general property is relatively stable). As to reward - you'd have to determine that based on locality (i.e shifts in local transportation, various construction projects). Given enough effort you could produce a reasonable model for local house prices in the next 5-10 years that would be reasonably accurate.   

Real State

That could work in our country. Some wants the nearest to stay rather than always going to school where you might be late always due to heavy traffic. You can do some house rules, a curfew might work and no visitors besides family. It can work if it will taken seriously.

Hello,

The investment will be good in real estate, because day by day population is going on increasing, and the construction also growing on.

Sure that could work, but here there are too many free stuff, and many investment opportunities are ruined because of it.

I`m not saying it is evil, but it definitely distorts the economy.

Currently bitcoin is the king and i doubt any other altcoin can get near it on the next years,if bitcoin dies all altcoins will die almost on the same moment,soo invest btc into another coin can be profitable but not the best option.

Not all of them, most of them start to get independent from it by creating their own exchange systems and their own independent valuation.

Bitcoin might be the gateway to the crypto world, but NXT has also a gateway of FIAT <> CRYPTO.

Some altcoin has built its own exchange in the wallet, or are going to build one. I think it is difficult for bitcoin to achieve the same as there are quite a few organizations especially those exchanges do not want this.
Bitcoin is a gateway to many altcoins. However some changes also has used litecoin, Monero as base currency. For example, Poloniex uses Monero as base currency. You can trade Dash against Monero.

I`m not talking about tradeable exchanges. I`m talking about vendors that sell to you altcoins for fiat.

You pay directly with bank card or other PP and get altcoin directly without needing to register to an exchange and go through all the major verification steps, although basic KYC is applied.

i think it all was a good investement,i just hope someday bitcoin will be the best  ;D

Buy BTC now and wait till the price goes up.

Thats what I am currently doing and i have already made $400 profit.

Now thats good!

I've invested in a few ponzis, and all of them so far have paid out. I guess i'm... lucky?

I wouldn't say a investing in HYIPs are good, nor bad. But I'd recommend 'em. ;D

Yessss
I belive you can say:you are lucky.

I was lucky too because I have been paid sometimes (lol)
So I have not lost everything (lol)

Please do not invest in my systems...you will bring me unfortune (lol)

I believe according to me the best investment is one which gives you some good returns for a minimal level of risk. I prefer investing in Fixed deposits in banks and Public provident funds which earn me a reasonable rate of interest ranging from 8-10%.

I also like to invest in Gold, Shares and  Bitcoins.

Silver is extremely undervalued right now, and by that I mean it has more potential than gold at the moment.

So definitely precious metals in the long run, especially with silver in mind.

you are luckily to have solid investment chance in your country. for my country, all the fixed deposit from banks and public/government funds etc are all 1-3% the most. even if u invest in investment fund, it is also about 5%. so the only way is to be risky and invest outside and on your own.

so it bitcoin, more undervalued than anything else, hence its potential are even bigger, so why i should not invest in bitcoin instead?

You can't invest all into Bitcoin. I mean you can but it's extremely risky. I agree that Bitcoin this the highest potential but it also has the biggest risk associated with. So precious metals should definitely be included in one's portfolio.

Exactly investing all money in the single product would be too risky so it is better to invest in different products which can assure us some returns on our investments so I would prefer to invest my some money in gold too as I have more faith in gold as compared to bitcoins as bitcoin is a new born baby if we compare it to the gold.

The best way to earn BTC is the buy them now and wait till the price and value goes up. Then sell it and wait till the price goes back down.

Thats probably the best investment

That's been said since time immemorial. It hasn't really worked out too well for believers so far. There's a good chance it won't in the future either.

I am also investing in technology. Buy and sell them in bitcoins and make profit over an extended period of time

There are multiple kinds of "Good" investments.

Profitable: HYIPs
Short-term: ponzis
Long-term: Gold

These are the only ones i invest in :D

They've made me profit so far.

That s a bad advice. If we all do that, how s BTC gonna rise? If there are no transactions, there s no increased demand and consequently - no price increase.

Bitcoins are extremely volatile...... It's hard to find a roof and a floor. But once you do, boom, you're rich.

The problem with gold is that you never know how effective water purification can get, or when asteroid mining can become feasible.

Why about long-term investment, bitcoin not included in the list?
any reason ?
I think the best investmen in long term is bitcoin

But I do see bitcoin as mid-long term investment. Unlike gold the do not need to wait for some 10 or 15 years for a good return from bitcoin. We can expect very much decent return from bitcoin within two or three years itself.

Bitcoin is the main currency ,even when there is others altcoins with their own market ,if bitcoin down the others will follow,and maybe one ore another survive ,but i doubt the price will stand as it is now it will drop.Bitcoin is the best investment return opportunity but the risk on it is high as well;soo cant invest all into bitcoin,maybe a 33%from savings or salary montly to avoid being lost into the bitcoin world.

yeah agree didn't take a long time bitcoin prices could rise
bitcoin can be used for even short-medium-long investment i think

bitcoin isnt really considered a short term investment. only way i see that happening is if you expect the prices to go up tomorrow so you buy today.

Also thers traders that make money in the short term by buying/selling trading, not sure if thay counts as an investment though.

stupid things when investing all the money into Bitcoin, agree may invest some of the money
we don't know will go up or down in price bitcoin, we can use some of the money for investment is not too bad if you lose

bitcoin as a short-term investment is very risky, you remember last week, bitcoin prices could penetrate $ 370 overnight
this is good for those who want a quick profit

I think the best investment is invest property,
Property Price Almost Always Rises!

The bitcoin is not a good medium term investment as the price is too volatile. The volatility is over 40% a year. So  it cannot be regarded as a store of value. When the bitcoin is adopted more, its value will increase and the volatility will decrease, it can be a good investment.

Maybe bitcoin is not suitable for midterm investments. But those who have invested in bitcoin by 2012 December at the price of $12, must be in profit in 2015 November at least 20 times. So bitcoin is the best investment if you are ready to hold for some long time like 2 to 3 years.

Yes by 2012 end bitcoin prices were around $12 to $13.  2000% profit is not imaginable with the any other investment vehicle. I strongly believe bitcoin is the most profitable investment that to available to us. For those who were wealthy by the year of 1960's had the chance to buy shares of Pepsi or Coca-Cola cheaply. Same kind of opportunity is currently available to us in the form of bitcoin.

I agree. What I do not understand is people constanly searching for 500% APY. If they see an opportunity to make 20%, they ll pas, cause it s not sufficient lucrative. WTF?
Find me another industry where one can make this kind of money over this short period.

Real estate and Bitcoins.
You can have a lot of money from investing on it.

Has anyone ever invested in REITs?

Gold may be a good one in these times..

in my knowledge, gold prices always go down every year, are you sure to invest in gold?
bitcoin is more promising than gold

yeah agree, although it has the risk of losing, but I think trade is the most safe and good to make money, compared with gambling, hyip, or other risky

The problematik is not to know what is the best investment but:
what is the best investment for you and what you wait from an investment.

if I talk you about an investment where you need 1BTC and you have only 10000 satoshi,it can be the best one among the best ones you are not interested or you can not profit from it.

it is impossible to talk about the best investment because it does not exist "in general".

You cannot compare too different kinds of investment it is why you cannot say that this one is better than this one.

it is why all messages here are out of topic...(except mine)(lol)

BUT...
this does not mean that all this "reply" are not interesting...


EDITION:
It seems I'm not the only one being right (lol)

be carefull to downloading  :-\

Be careful to download which thing you didn't mentioned there, maybe you have posted into wrong thread because there is no such link which contain files to download? 

You can choose real estate if you want something real..and if dont,choose bitcoin :D

Little bit of everything, so if something goes to shit, you still have other things. But yes, established stocks and real estate are probably the safest bets.

for me, keeping my bitcoins in cold wallet is the best investment strategy.
Though sometimes i try to gain advantage of the increased bitcoin prices by btc/usd trading, but in vein.

yeah agree, now most popular investment is in real estate
real estate prices always go up, this is the best investment in my opinion

if given the choice of investment, between bitcoin or real estate
surely everyone will choose real estate, but different with me, I would choose bitcoin
bitcoin has good prospects in the future, the price will certainly explode in the future

i still think real estate property is the best investment. you can just stay there and save rent, if you plan to sell it price will go up in coming years.

I'd go for bitcoins, it's a long term investment. You can buy some and forget about it, it will be worth a lot in a couple of years.

Stocks and bonds are kinda a gamble which I don't like to put my faith in.

Real estate could be good when there's a recession, you gotta have money though to invest in real estate

Stocks in chemical weapons developers and manufacturers.  Do the math and look around you.

marry rich (and pretty) girl is the best long term investment  ;D

investment in yourself. learn a skill work on your fitness bla bla. investment in your life is the most worthwhile

true the main thing is yourself investment, because without it, we can not run anything, it all depends on yourself, so yourself investments is important

Haha Lol
married to a rich woman, it looks like most good investment, which we do not have to work to get rich, just married to a rich woman

Pretty girl is  the worst investment if the beauty is her only characteristic. with time go on, she will  become less prettier day after day, ie devalue all the time, unlike bitcoin, which appreciates all the time. So it is better to keep the bitcoin and not to invest in a beauty only girl. Only invest in a girl with many good characters.

There is one old guy with last name Sorosh. Well i read interview with him, that was 5 years ago. He was talking about food. And how much food cost before and how much it cost now. So his plan is to buy fertile plains, and that food will just rise in future. So maybe u need to go in reality and make good investment there, cause for now bitcoin and alcoins is like carousel. Now u are up, now u are down... u need to have some knowlige before u get into internet invesmtents. Regards and i wish u luck.

moral of the story... marry Bitcoin. you'll be better off

VERY GOOD

It depend on what you are best at. For me, I will not invest in Real Estate. RE is a already large industry with a lot of experienced players. I would rather invest my time and money in Bitcoin since it is my generation. I am still young and I know if Bitcoin go mainstream one day I will have lot of money.


Very funny. Gonna quote this in my Notepad. I am going to share this quote on the forums. LoL.

Unless you already own something, be it special knowledge, funds, real estate, a rich girlfriend or bitcoin it is very difficult to invest. This is the actual problem here.

Most people who need to invest urgently have very little to throw in. This is why everyone and their mother are excited about Bitcoin. Imo, this is a chicken and egg problem. There are no safe investments and a lot of investments are zero sum games or outright gambling. Even real estate. I believe it's a terrible advise to buy real estate right now. It's overbought. You will pay a hefty premium and the future is not a one-way street to ever increasing profits. Why? Unless people are able to sustain paying for increasing rents, the value of your investment could go down. If you were lucky to get an apartment or house in an auction, good for you, but someone else got burned. All risky investments are extra unsafe if you cannot afford to lose anything.

"Don't invest more than you can afford." What if you cannot afford to lose anything because you are out of luck (see line one). The majority of people should fall into that category.

If you are poor, you need some way to accumulate money and you hardly have a choice but to get an education and a job. A signature campaign won't cut it. Bitcoin won't cut it. Even if you can afford to buy one or two Bitcoins, this will hardly be a life-changing event. It doesn't create stable income.
 
If you have enough money to make a living and own way more than is enough, you could either go short-term trading (still gambling imo) or put your money to good use. Help a company to grow, or produce something useful. Maybe invest in a bitcoin business. Oh, I forgot, most bitcoin businesses are about gambling as well. Isn't there anything a little sustainable to put your money into apart from real estate?

Yeah, if sig campaigns payed higher, maybe I would consider it a full time job, but it's not worth it, it's an actual job, you are advertising someone's else business and getting a really tiny rate for it. An actual job is better, but it's very time consuming tho, it's hard to think about investments when you have a stressing schedule. Who knows, maybe a guy spending all day here trying to hustle a little Bitcoin here and there and saving all of it, may make more in 10 years than someone working a normal job for said 10 years.

hold bitcoin on paper wallets. thanks me later.

bitcoin sure is yhe best investment. $10,000 per 1 bitcoin will happened.so prepare for it

Yeah and all the signature campaigns have reduced their rated due to price increase in bitcoins recently and spending whole day here doesn't make any sense.. it's better that we concentrate on our jobs as job is permanent and we are not sure what is the future of bitcoins. But at present earning few bitcoins from signature campaigns will take care of basic expenses.

Unfortunately you are right. Let's hope a time where those companies seize to exist will come soon.

BTW, investments in banks and innovating oil companies (stocks) are also very profitable compared to the risk they come with.

Yeah holding bitcoin for long term investment its more safe than other investment, i do it this one

i think be a lenders
short term investment is lend money to someone, and take advantage of interest
The investment is fairly easy and safe

stop dreaming...
people are afraid to invest 1 satoshi...then do not think they will invest in bitcoins.

how can you sure he will thank to you? nobody knows if it will be true.
i guess the paper wallet would be broken for 10~20 years without placing this kind of paper wallet in a proper boxes or whatsoever.

There is no best investment between these options, with all of them comes high risk

It's best to invest into yourself and if you can, start your own business

Don't invest in any of these if you can't afford to lose, that's the best advice I can give you

The best way of invest ment is to freeze your some of the bitcoins for long term and sell them at right time when the rates are high you can even get double of your money.

I don't know how old are you, but please ask your mother or grandmother and she will show you how books or newspapers from cellar or attic looks like. and yes, it is just my personal opinion, everybody must decide by himself, what to do with money.

Real estate will be the best investment IMO but you need to be a big investor, its worth it though. For small investors , bitcoin will be good and I am doing it right now :) I can't afford to buy properties right now, only bitcoins.

I would invest in a trusted Bitcoin casino's bankroll  ::)

Whole financial world is on the threshold of major changes and bitcoin is one of the shoots of future. Gold and bitcoins is the best investment now.

I think you are right. Wait til it becomes it becomes high.
You can gain more from bitcoin if you know how to wait for the right time.

invested in bitcoin casino sites is also risky dude, we can go lost for them ?
but you have to try it invested in pocketrocketcasino, people say, he gets profit from there, but I have not tried yet

invest in the casino only good for short term but not good for long term because i think real estate is the best option for long term investment

not always in the short term, I would invest my money in the long term in gambling sites, especially primedice, I dare to long-term investment on there

this is not dreaming dude. each time more and more advanced technology, this requires us to be more modern
everyone will leave the paper money, and try the online payment, gold may be the only means of payment that can survive, the price is likely to be very large
someday

It seems you're just promoting a certain site ;D Anyways, I also find investing on a casino's bankroll interesting and profitable but I can't find a reliable one so far :D

in casino bankroll there are no guaranteed that you will always win but still a good one
but for investment some of what he say is a good option but it will depend on what OP like
for me bitcoin is the best option then while waiting for the price go higher try trading
invest in small amount in some site  ;D

In my opinion, the best investment is buy BTC and hold it for at least 2 years.
It's still cheap :)

If we all simply buy and hold, what s going to drive the price up.

There are no guarantees that bitcoin price will go up in the next 2 years at least, well its your opinion.. :)

My plan was buy some houses, appartment and just rent it.

Where I live now is kinda expensive. So I will do it in my land one house can only kost 267.568 USD.

uh.. buying? you buy and hold, not just hold, big difference

if everyone keep buying some bitcoin every months with 10% of his fiat money, or what he can afford to lose, surely the value will skyrocket

Not everyone will only buy and hodl! Some people will spend, some people will hold, some people will earn and get payed in bitcoins, some people will just trade them and not even worry how many bitcoins they have.

All of the above are good for the Bitcoin community!

1. Stocks - Depends on what company are you going to invest with. Automobiles and real estate companies seem to be the best places to invest your money right now (at least on our region, SEA.)

2. Bonds - Not so sure about that option. Bonds can sometimes be broken and with that, not a good option to invest if you don't know what you're going into.

3. Bitcoins - Long term holding of bitcoins can result to a nice yield/return if you play it well. Again, comes with high risks which is not suitable for the faint of heart investors.

4. Real Estate - A booming business nowadays, with space becoming lesser and lesser, real estate is a great investment opportunity to take.

At present, the price for real estate is too high due to quantitative easing. The running yield is just 2-4% a year. When the house price bubble burst, the price will drop dramatically. There is no good investment at present. There are too much funding available.

I think gold is less profitable now.
Because in my country now really fall in gold prices and it may take a long time to re-stabilize. even longer to wait for the price rise seems

If gold fell a great deal in your country wouldn't it be a good idea to buy up gold?
Gold would be the safest investment currently.
Bitcoin would be with the highest yield currently.

Gold has been slow in rise these past few years and if you only want to have something that holds value, gold is your best bet. Real estate on the other hand, has been booming in the last years. Income is decent with less risk than bitcoin.

Gold as achieve almost full potencial and wont go much more above as what happend on the last 50 years that gold growed a lot,bitcoin now has the position of the gold in the past ,but the risks involved on it are high as the reward may be,but dont invest all savings into bitcoin ,that can ruin your life fast.

Typically I would say real estate is the best thing you can invest in.  Not only are you investing when you are paying it off but it also covers a place to live.  Renting is basically throwing your money out the window. 

Hey man as long as they double my coins and send me back double what I invested then I don't really care what they do or how they do it :P know what I'm sayin bro? :)

Just make sure to stop before they stop paying.

To poster DMB, try it and let us know the outcome. Then you can advise OP if this strategy of yours works which I doubt it does either. If it did wouldn't you think we would all be doing it and be making 1 bitcoin a day. Which is just a fallacy scenario in my eyes.
Go ahead be the mortar upon which the castle of wealth shall be built.

Buying a real estate is really a neat idea if the laws regarding taxation on your country is not that greedy or invasive compared to our country. It has a nice yield, but before investing take into consideration several recurring expenses such as maintenance before throwing off your money at it.

the important thing is not to panic when the price falls, bitcoin prices will definitely go up, 2 years or whenever, bitcoin is good for investment

market demand, the need for bitcoin, we buy bitcoin, it includes demand
it makes the price will rise, i think

technological developments will guarantee the price of bitcoin will go up,
future technological developments will make bitcoin adopted by the world

If you have the money, try to invest in bitcoin.
It is a good investment.

I invest in Bitcoin long term  ;).
I understand that Bitcoin needs to be spend as well. I am tryining to have some amount for purchasing services I need and goods if possible too.

Invest where you will earn the biggest profit, after the fees and taxes and all stuff.

Bitcoin has the advantage of having less fees for trading and being easier to move and cash out(at least if have a local exchange).

Biggest profit means often biggest scam.
Ask yourself if the big profit is realistic.

As an investment manager (lol) I see that each satoshi is hard generated...

How much money do you have? If you have a big amount of assets, you should invest on Real Estate.
But if you just have $1000 or less, invest on Bitcoin!

I believe real estate and bitcoin are ways to go. If you buy houses around hospitals it is great.
Bitcoin is also nice since it has big potential.

stocks can make you a lot of money if you know what youre doing, otherwise dont get involved. real estate is a always a good investment. and bitcoin is slightly risky for the short term.

my cousin actually lost quite a bit of money trying to buy/sell stocks, i really don't recommend that. i suggest if you want guaranteed profit go with gold ( it will be slow profit but pretty much guaranteed).

Real estate can be a good investment but you would need a ton of capital to get started, so if you have that go for real estate else bitcoin is the best option imo.

Comparing to stocks or real estates, bitcoin must be a best investments but of course in long term. Both stocks and real estates are good only in long term, same way we can expect very big returns from bitcoin compared to stocks or real estates.

Bitcoins doesn't guarantee you the huge profits in the future, neither stocks but yes real estates can give you some good profit in the future as the price of land, houses keeps on increasing every single day so I would prefer to invest my money in real estate and also some part of it in bitcoins and gold.

there's no guarantee that Bitcoin will stay around in the future. it's still a new technology, it's possible some other alt coin or something different takes over. point is Bitcoin is new so it's untested whereas property had been along for a long time so generally safer

Everyone wants to earn a huge profit, and that only real estates can guarantee you as those are big deals to make, So I don't think investing all your money in bitcoins is the right idea, I think diversifying our investments in different products can make it much easier, So I would prefer to invest my money in real estate, gold and some in bitcoins.

Yes, building a portfolio approach to investing is the best. Consider the percentage allocation to bitcoins. It should be in low to high single digits, depending on your risk appetite.
Another factor to take into account is your age. If you are young, you can afford to take bigger risks.

That's true, you can lose a lot of money in trading company stocks, just as you can lose everything in trading bitcoins. But gold? I'd say it only goes for holding your money and fending inflation off in the long term. It's not as good as an investment.

The best investment? Maybe a franchise or just like others said, real estate. Have it leased and you've got money coming in regularly.

Best investment is in the stock market. ETF accounts are the best. That is a fact  ;)

how much money we need to invest in real estate, what is more profitable than bitcoin?

the stock market can go up and down at any time, even the stock could go down and do not have a price, you're sure what to think with this investment?

Historically, stock market investment is the best. The stock index will beat the inflation in long term. I am talking about the US stock market. The index tracking ETF is the best, it will beat 80% actively managed funds.
In short term, the price will go up and down, very difficult to predict.

I will personally say that it is in real estate. One thing you need to know is that real estate demand keeps on increasing compared to other forms of investments. It is a good investment option if you have a good amount of money since the starting capital is always intensive. After that, you will always enjoy the fruits especially after having everything in place. trying to compare bitcoin and real estate, the bictoin investement is all about risk and hope that everything will go on well. For me I will go for real estate.

Yes, I think real estate is only an investment that guarantees you a success in long run, as the prices keeps on increasing on daily basis, you can earn a good profit out of it, the only thing you need to have is a patience in real estate investments, as it takes a lot of time for the deal to get finalized, so if you have a patience you can earn a huge profit out of it.

investment in stocks as an investment in a altcoins where the value can rises and down, I'm not sure to invest in stocks?

The most safe is the savings,there is gold silver,oil,state and shares from companies but well you need to know that besides savings you can loose money ,bitcoin is currently the best return even with the risk involved into it,we were on 220 dollars and went to 400 in some weeks,now we get back to 300 soo volatility is around 50 to 100 dollars in a short period,for those who see the potencial on this selling high and rebuying low.

The problem is that you "often" know about only after...

Try my U2cloudmining for free...one or twice...or few days...
and then let it sleep...
in a year...(lol) check your account...you will then see if it had be worth to claim or invest...
The problem is that it is then to late to go back...and 2015 is not 2016...

I suppose you talking about some cloudcompany ,tell me more by pm im curious ,even not believing anymore into cloud at long time,we all know that bitcoins difficulty keeps increasing soo clouds arent able to profit to cover expenses and paying you a share but well lets see

You can't compare stocks with altcoins. Stocks is something you hold for a longer period of time after doing proper research about it. Altcoins are a matter of luck. It MAY go up, but it also MAY go down. Altcoins are basically the same as gambling.

I think right now the best investment anyone can do is buying Bitcoin. Unless you know what you are doing chances are you will screw up trying to find for a legit IPO specially in the crypto world. By investing in Bitcoin you indirectly help everyone involved at the same time so you have more winning tickets in your hand.

The best investment to get rich fast - bitcoin. The best to locate your capital for the years to come, probably real estate market. The truth is - you could make money on everything if you have the right approach.
If you are not scared to exploit bitcoin volatility you could be millionaire from trading alone. And the most crucial info: how big bankroll do you have?

Invest in darkcoin. I think it will go big really soon. No joke look at the charts.

Personally I preferred stocks because you can really assure a profit in a year depending on what company you invested on.

If you have the skill and strategy enough to try it, the forex trading is undoubtedly the best investment of the world. I have known amazing (although exceptional) cases of people who have been able to make a million dollars from $1000 in a couple of weeks.

Buying bitcoin this morning when it was $20 cheaper then selling them at the right time.

I think that the best investment can be investing in bitcoin, the price today is being increased so maybe anyone can sell higher. Another thing is to invest in yourself gaining some skills and start working with these skills.

Revenue share program is best investment for ang long time period,, because you cannot by this,, because of trusted admin here like mpa, tm, adbrook and pac

Those kind of programs need fresh money to keep paying dividends otherwise the game will be over and well not work for a long time.Revenue shares arent the medium term is the short and usually dont last more then one month the same as most hyip.

If you invest higher then your returns would also be higher, So if you can afford to make a big investment and looking for quick profits then I think investing in bitcoins is the best option available at a moment, looking at its volatility you can make huge profits if you have bought at the lower price even small fluctuation can make a huge difference if the investment is big.

Yahh so true but my best investment i think is the revenue share program u can buy a house if you are in full repurchase mode

yes i agree with this....altcoin is definite no stock. they can die or boom at any moment, it is a very risky, but sometimes very profitable, type of investment

The best investment is in yourself... man

elaborate
i dont get it

The best investment is the doing of the things you do and know better. If you are expert in any or more fields as above you write that field (or fields) is (are) the best investment for you. If you are not an expert in any of those then there are to many the other possibilities but no one can tell you for sure who is the best. No one can predict this. Every kind of investment has its risks and everyone judge about those according to him's mind, him's ability to analyses those and to lay out conclusions. So you ma have several judgments for the same thing. To not forget that everything need even a little luck.

Me have two kind investments in my today's plans. An online site which have 5 years of life in market and 9 years of development. Which give about 0.5% profit every day and declare the source of its profits (if you want I can give my reflink with pm). Then *the second investment) is investing in the Horizon project. For the moment and mainly buying their cryptocurrency named Horizon (HZ) with the hope that it will be increase of the price of it in the future. Both are risky and I know that. But the amount involved until today are few. Then is another third but is very long term. Like bitcoin. Which I buy because I hope in its increase of price after to many years. This third is not counted because seems without end; has began three years ago and no one know where will be seen some profit from it. Then to see and to do.  ;)

I would say bitcoins, real estate market really just depends on where you live.

I invest into bitcoins because I think it has a future even when it goes down in value sometimes.

The best investment is bitcoin in your paper wallet sleeping while the value increases as year pass ;)

where have you seen this?
so far it goes up AND down...

bitcoin is always going up, by an "absolute average increase per year" view, to be clear, it was 0 in 2009 now 350 in 2015

do not look at the unsubstantial increases like 230(april 2013), 1200(december 2013), 500(two weeks ago), those count nothing

Real estate is by far the safest investment, the only problem is that you need to have the money to begin with and a lot of it too. Of course that doesn't mean you can just buy the first house/building/land you see in a ghost town and expect to profit. But it also doesn't require a genius level intellect to make a reasonably safe investment. Only a few factors to take into account and a little research before you buy and after that you can sleep soundly at night (at least better than those dreaming about the ultimate stock market crash  :D ) It can of course happen that property value takes a hit from time to time but the underlying trend is always up.

For such a new technology which was never even been tried to develop before, price over $300 is an amazing in my opinion!

Yes, I agree with Amph that we shouldn't concentrate on the bubbles. When price has reached $266 from double digits, this was a bubble. When we got over $1,000 this was a bubble as well.

I do feel sorry for the people who has gotten in when Bitcoin was on the top of the bubble!

Do not be sorry.
if you get in at 2000 and get out at 1999 it is not a big lost.

all of that is the best for me,depending you trust all of that,and depending you use your strategy for invest on it.
the difference is between time and price maybe.

Yes, but many people got in at $1,000. Not that I think they won't break even one day or even profit if they would wait long enough, but just to think about their nerves that are probably gone if they are awaiting this return to break even.

Then again something tells me that are not too many patient out there that are awaiting return to $1,000. Most of these people have sold and took loses long time ago!

I really dont know the answer reading the posts to find answer.

Well even knowing that 0.05 inst too much could you mind to share what you talking about ,looks some good investment made but need to see what is before invest any peny at it thanks.Holding bitcoin may be the best way but well must know when to sell and when to rebuy .

At what price did you buy? Bitcoin market is too volatile and price fluctuations is a part and parcel of bitcoins, so when you feel that the price of bitcoins is higher when you initially bought your coin I think you should sell it, and rebuy when the price goes down, price fluctuation is a continuous process in bitcoins, remember that.

Best investment is education.

Because financial investments are always changing, and they quickly become non-profitable. Without education and keeping updated yourself, you will always lose money.

Best investment for me is revshare program,, its trusted and earn a lot of money

The best investment I think is just keep btc and wait for value to grow.

If you have big bucks then you should go for real estate,stock and bonds. But if you have little to no funds then go for bitcoin investing.

Best investment is secure bank stock

I would be buying what Bitcoin I could and then saving for the future and even learning how to trade or getting some broker to do investments for you with bitcoin and getting a good return over the year and playing it safe at maybe 2 to 3% on return daily or every few days. Other than that maybe having an icer account and laving your funds in bank.

What kind of parent he/she is, he raises his child so they can make profit on the future???

I believe bitcoin is a good long term investment and so is land/real estate. If you look at graphs for long term with these things, seems not to be look too bad.

Lolz.. It's something like that if you have a baby boy he would be become a soccer player in future and if she is a baby girl she would be a tennis star, and if they have that mindset then it's really ridiculous, as if the kids would not have good support base from their parents it would be become really difficult for them to grow in a proper way.

yea i dont think investing with kids is ethical lol.

for me a good investment would be lending money to trusted people, thers really good returns in that.

Why should choose Stocks, Bonds, Bitcoins or Real Estate?

If you are able and can, why do not you invest in all that you mentioned above. That is, fortunately with such capital investment you will not freeze in only one investment alone, but made like the network and it can co-exist and help the investment with each other. Even if there will be a loss, it will not lose everything

I think not store eggs in one basket.

Diversification of investments is the answer to above questions, you cannot afford to trust any single product and invest all your earnings into it, as the future is unpredictable and doesn't guarantee you the success so investing in all products by dividing your earnings can give you more probability to earn profits.

Yes, diversified of investment objective is that we put the fund into some kind of asset

True or not, the answer is depending from where we see it

There are some investors who are pro or disagree with the statement that investment, because if we invest in one type of investment, when we lose then we will lose the total investment. This causes the value of our investment will decline pretty much

But there are also investors who do not agree with the counter or diversified. Investors this model usually has the ability to control their investments, have education, experience as well as excessive money. Like warren buffet?

My best investment site is MMM because it gives you 30% interest monthly its cool

Stocks and Real Estate
Because I think we could benefit more than others and even without work can get enough profit to capital that we have..

best investment right now i think is just btc.

What about Bter and their 10% annual interest? Has anyone been using that?

What is MMM?

Best investment is multi user online game skins and char exhange :)
1 year, I work 2 hours a day.
my char buy price : 0.10 BTC (January 2015)
I sold price : 0.45 BTC (November 20, 2015)

there arent any good investments with bitcoin, only good one i can think of is lending money to people on this forum.

AFAIK it's like hyip I think, it's not good investment, first serve get profit and for the rest who lost the train is get nothing.

Their site was "hacked" not too long ago. I lost all my money there. Fuck them.

Just saw the site wow. Looks pretty badly designed, not touching that with a 10 feet pole

The big problem playing a game is you never know and it may die in moments but sure investing and having fun upgrading into the game will garantee you in the long or medium time a good extra,your example is just a proof of it almost half btc having fun.
