I have finished my mining investment, in 3 years i accumulated 10 btc, but now, i not have idea what make...suggestion?
I not need urgent to money then, i want invest yet, but where??
Price cloud mining is too high,difficulty hashing is too high (now 103,880,340,815.4560), gambling i'm not able, what do you make with mi bitcoin?

How much you had to spend in equipment & electricity in 3 years to make that 10 BTC ?

just keep holding. that's the best option. holding bitcoin is already an investment. you have spent a lot time collecting your coins, don't invest them. keep holding at least till the block halving.

You don't need to do anything right now.This is not time to sell better keep them safe for other times.This is the year which will make your efforts which you made to accumulate 10 BTC ,fruitful by rewarding you.Bitcoin is going up right after halving process will be done and we are not going to see price under $400 anymore.

You already said by yourself that you are not in need of immediate money so why not to keep your Bitcoins safe continuously instead of investing them in some other thing.Your Bitcoin will be doubled as valued in mid of this year.Don't miss this chance.

i are not able to quantify because I did a mix of Cex.io - hashnest - miner hardware...

Fortunately, the miners i placed in the company of my family (we work with 50kw of electricity  and miners are so small, that we not have effect on general cost)

Equipment i have spent 5500-6000 dollars, i buy antminer, work for some and sell when price of hardware is yet good, so i have amortized approximately 85/90% of cost

10 BTC is a pretty good amount to hold long term, but I will still try to aim for the magic 21 BTC number just for the sake of it. Try to keep buying monthly if you have some extra money after being paid at the end of the month (I assume you've got a job).

Congratulation. Now you need to concentrate to not loose your Bitcoins in some investment opportunities. It's very easy as there is a number of scam arround. Just keep them and watch price of Bitcoin. You deserve it.

we have a small dealer of a famous car group...

I would suggest you to hold on your bitcoins until halving, you can do trading if you don't want to hold. buy low sell high. ;)

The  best thing you can do is not being scammed.

I would keep 9 btc in cold storage and never touch them, you can play/invest with 1 btc if you want, you will eventually find it's not so profitable.

If you want to invest this BTC funds please be aware that everything is risky today.
If you cash out this funds and put in the bank, bank also can collapse.
Invest in shares?
Also high risk, you can earn a lot and also loose a lot.
Maybe the best option for you now is do nothing, just hold this BTC funds in the wallet and wait for price increase :)

I agree that mining solo (by solo I mean you and your couple ASICs, it does't matter if it is pool mining or not) or other mining related bitcoin investment are thing of the past.
If you don't have money for buying whole mining farm you don't have to mine. As I heard recently current rising trend is bitcoin loans, and services which capitalize on that.
Maybe investing portion of your BTC in that segment of market will be good idea?

I would keep the bitcoin in cold storage. Sell the miners for what you can get and use that money to diversify into gold coins.

return here around 2030, and you will know what to do with them

bitcoin is still in his infancy still a long way to go before it will be accepted seriously

wait halving ... ?  ::)

Or neglected completely. As many spectators fear that sovereign cryptocurrency won't survive in world of controlled economy.
Not to mention some of us might be dead by 2030, and I want to buy for my BTC something before I die and not 'hold' forever.

2030 is the final year of the prediction of satoshi, it's a fair time frame to wait to have a bitcoin that is worth your dream

you can die even tomorrow, this does not stop you to believe in your life until tomorrow...

so, i put btc to wallet and wait...

I have powerful and trusted investment site paying since long period and you can make second income investing with it, if i am in your place i will invest this 10 btc or at least a part of it there in this site (you can PM me if interested)

I would advise you like i do everyone else; just hold your stash of coins. The epic times are ahead if you can afford to wait, and as long
as number of transaction is rising,i don't see the point in risking your coins. Wait a few years and let block halvings push it to the top.
And by no chance invest into shady investment funds, and money making opportunities; they're all probably just ponzies of sorts

Hold your coins TIGHT! If you take a look at the various threads asking how much BTC members have, it's full of people complaining they have lost countless coins because of trading, gambling, etc. Your wallet is already your best investment strategy: make it a cold wallet and sleep on it.

Just hold. I don't know why people are constantly looking to invest their Bitcoins while holding Bitcoin in your offline wallet is already a solid investment. The risk is not worth it.

Seems like the guy just drew a line with a pen after 2016 lol

10 BTC, nice man.  Id just sit on it.  :)

Hold your coins till the next halving at least

You could making good profit if the price increase and get higher

You should just hold on to them :) I'm sure in the future, they will be worth a lot more money.

So, the best strategy is accumulate... But, how do I stand to watch!?!?  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

.... From the graph, I am already millionaire hihihihiihih

Put 7 or 8 BTC in your wallet and wait . Invest the other (and link them to a FIAT, so if BTC goes down you could preserve their value )

See my signature too  ;)

Well If I had that option I wouldn't need to think twice to just hold. Holding is an investment itself, you're basically doing nothing and the price will increase before halving.
Halving will come around and if you sell now or invest, you won't be able to sell when bitcoin reaches a new ATH.

Considering the difficulty, the solo mining is not anymore profitable. I don't know how much you have spent to gather 10 BTC..but holding is the best investment as of now. Don''t go for "get rich quick" schemes and you may end up loosing it all. Bitcoin price will definitely get doubled within some years. At that point of time, the more the merrier rule will apply. Store your bitcoins in a safe place and use it for your future savings.

Yes the powers that be will attack and try to censor Bitcoin all over the world, but even then, it will become the #1 way to run an alternative economy, and underground economy has billions on it, so with or without the consent of governments, holders are holding something that will be very desired in the future no matter what happens at a regulation level.

Mining is becoming harder and more difficult to do, so i wouldn't advise to invest into something like that.
You will probably get more profits out of holding for now. Who knows what bitcoin will be worth in a couple of months.

funny how people save money until it reaches a specific amount and then always wants to spend them right away... how about saving them until you need them?

Well if I was you just save it I think there is more potential in the future if you save those 5 bitcoins.
The other you can try to trade or just spend it for something that you like to have.

That is most probably the best decision without risk of loss, but if you have some technical knowledge about operating sites. Opening one gambling site could be enough for that coin and also house almost win always. ;)

Since you don't have any pressing needs at the moment, I would say hang on to your coins at least till the halving. It'd be a shame for you to spend them now and BTC goes back up to $800. If you really want to invest I would suggest you read up on domain names. A relatively safe investment would be to buy names that you know will be selling for a premium in 5-10 years. Of course you would need to do a lot of serious research first.

So you're still in the red, I guess?  Because 10btc right now is $4500.  As other people here have said, just hang onto it and hope for a price increase.  If it goes to $1000 you're golden.

Great for you. For one year I have spend a lot more than that. Now you should try to find a good invetsment where you can put your coins and double them if possible.

Correct, you passed step 1, now it's time for step 2. Getting to 20 bitcoin and so on.
I am not sure how you achieved this but keep on doing it.

invest in a hardware wallet

I would definitely not invest in any cloud mining services, if I were you. Buy a old cheap second hand computer and create a few paper wallets offline and destroy the computer.

Then transfer some of it to these paper wallets and keep some on a hardware wallet for spending. You have worked hard enough for 3 years to spend some of it. Do a 80/20%

split... 80% in cold storage and 20% on a hardware wallet like Trezor for spending. That would be a good compromise to enjoy and still hoard some coins for future use. Spread

the 80% over different paper wallets, to enable you to swipe bitcoins in small quantities if needed and to spread the risk of losing everything in one go, if something goes wrong.

Investing in a trezor is generally a good idea. 80/20 is also a good idea. For example: When BTC reaches $500+ you could cash out 2 BTC and buy a few CIGS thin solar panels with 600Watt/peak that work even under shady light conditions and in winter. You could continue mining with one moderate miner and set a simple clock so it will mine during the day only.
Just for fun!

Or don't mine but still buy the solar just to have something that creates a sustainable non-virtual and non-volatile income and saves your power costs for the next 20 years. Granted, you could wait until block halving to do that to get the best bang for your buck.

In any case, apart from cold storage I'm against endless hoarding and would think about turning BTC into other asset classes (gold, jewelry, solar if you're into continuing to 'mine' electricity that you can entirely use for yourself, ie. charge an e-bike, charge a Tesla super-wall, charge an e-car).

If you have time you can do micro lending out with alt coin collateral. With micro lending you can make 1 BTC in one month or more also with your investments.
If everything goes fine, you may double your coins within this halving. Congratulations and all the very best.

Gambling should be good though, not on dice sites but on sportsbook. it's not hard like dice sites, and you also can tail the experts on nitrogensports. or try invest on hyip but only play short-term.

however if everyone decides to wait for halving........,well  :-* do the math ;)

Stay away from gambling if you can't play that, Try to tranding what do you prefer altcoin or bitcoin it's your choice. bitcoin price it's stuck now

good luck, enjoy your bitcoin

Just wait... At least halving or 3-4 years more. You have already waited for 3 years to make it and it is not a big deal for you to wait at least 3 years more... :)

BTC price will be more than thousands dollar in long term.

I also would like to suggest you just hold them and wait for block halving surely it will worth for it and you will get more high reward than anyone expectation there will be huge rise into price after this done and price will its all time peak.

Check out my signature, it might be of interest to you ;)

You have set 10 bitcoins as your goal for a reason? Right or wrong? Some people seem to think the Halving is going to be the savior everyone has been waiting for. I doubt that the Halving will double the value of all coins and if it does, the dumping will overflow the market and it will come down very quickly.

Just hold on to the 10 bitcoins and look for the best opportunity to use it. Shop around for the best prices on items and buy them at a discount with Bitcoin and sell them for a profit. Money makes money ^smile^

Yes I go upon his suggestion. The reason you does't need money immediately. So you can hold it as a great investment that is in your hand because for sure the value is gonna get doubled and the production of bitcoin is also getting reduced which once again increses the value of bitcoins

just wait, now that you have your "piece of  cake", expect it to be more 'good before eating  :D ;)

That's a good way to lose the accumulated BTC. Gambling is a really risky way of growing further. HYIP are even worse...

You don't need the money so just hold onto the 10 BTC and wait for the value to go up.

What is this for shit advice!? It took him 3 years to collect his coins and you advise him to gamble his coins away? And even worse, you are even advising him to "invest" or better said LOSE his coins through an hyip. You are just a joke.

OP should keep all his precious coins safe in his offline wallet and hold them for a long period of time.

Man, gambling is the worst kind of curse for an investor. 90% of the members here have lost money because of it.

Hold the coins you have accumulated so far and keep accumulating.
This might sound pretty boring but if you have patience to hold for a few more years it could pay off.
You worked for this amount so what ever you plan to do think about it twice.

Keep your coins in cold storage and don't invest into anything. Everything is way too risky in my opinion.

Actually, invest a small amount into Ethereum. Besides Bitcoin, this is the only coin out there that does go have some future.

i would argue that maidsafe has a good future also, same thing as ethereum, they are very similar

but to be honest their currency does not make sense, it's better for them to use bitcoin for their decentralized platform, since bitcoin is already well known and adopted

try to make a website and become a publisher, its really effective if you have a hobby as a writer and have a lot of free time but i dont reccomend if your too lazy just to wrote 300 words + article, but you can bought an article also

KEEP them until after the halving, AT LEAST! Once halving is done, you'll see what you have then. It is said to be worth more

than what it is now. Don't spend any if you can avoid to spend any. Just keep mining and you'd just have more.

Maidsafe has an awesome technology but it doesn't have a hype that Ethereum has, and you need hype and interest from the outside world to make it in this space. Look at Nxt, it has an awesome technology in my opinion, but it's nowhere to be seen anymore since there is no interest in it.

That's why I would give most advantage to the Ethereum at the moment beside Bitcoin of course.

Trading is very risky as well in my point of view. Gambling I would never suggest. HYIP either. Becoming investor in a gambling site is a great idea but you need to know what you are doing and 10 BTCs isn't enough to start a gambling website.

Maybe if OP would find coinvestors that he can really trust, this would be an interesting idea. But as we know, this is easier said than done in a Bitcoin space at the moment.

I give trading more chance to get some income then starting, another new, coin...

There has been just to much coin scams, so people are not trusting it anymore

Why is 21 a magic number? because it's 1/1000000 of total supply?

you have 10 bitcoin,and it collect in 3 years,not a short time,i think its really precious,and i dont think have matter with mining cost.so if you dont need an urgent money,you can trade it 1 or 2 bitcoin,its give you activity,or you can invest it on trusted cloud mining,or lend to someone who really need bitcoin,ilke me ;D you do great thing by help someone :D

i have to agree with this one. i would suggest to anybody who is holding any amount of bitcoin that if you don't need the money, then you should keep it.

and even if you need the money, at least keep it untill after the halving is done and sell them then, but the best option is always holding it, because bitcoin is still young and have a lot of room to grow.

Maidsafe project pretends to be a replacement for the current internet model, it's a really ambitious and very fascinating project, right now MAID is extremely cheap for what it is, but it's still too early so people aren't willing to put the real money there yet. I think Maidsafe is very different from ETH, they are both ambitious projects, but ETH doesn't try to replace the internet, which is MAID's ultimate goal.

Really? You just sell all your's bitcoin. Cause the price is so good now.

The best thing you can be able to do is being in a position where you can trade the coins that you have so that they can be able to grow. Be sure to venture or even invest the bitcoins in the places where bitcoin is allowed. You will grow.

The price is as low as it gets for 2016, anyone dumping all of their Bitcoins now will be considering suicide in a couple of months, but it's your life and it's your choice, so go for it if you want.

Yes, I too will suggest everyone and anyone to keep your valuable bitcoins in a safe place or wallet, maybe you
should have a silverwallet :P . I am tried of seeing sites going scam :( , so yes choose wisely.

Keep your coins until the halving and then sell most of your coins
Congrats, you just made a few thousand bucks ;)

Well if I was you just save it I think there is more potential in the future if you save those 5 bitcoins.
The other you can try to trade or just spend it for something that you like to have.

Just keep it, wait til halving and decide what to do with those, definitely don't gamble, you would lose it all. try to keep it safe, who knows, price might double after halving.  :)

i suggest you to do a trading..buy bitcoin today bcause the price is low and try to sell when the price get high..
or you can save your money its mean hold until next year...but trading must be good

i just suggest you to invest it on real thing,such property or gold ;D 10 BTC is big amount for me,and if i were you,i will buy car and give that car some letters "bought with bitcoin" :D

PoS coins s always been my main suggestion, but really good ones. I ve invested a lot into DMD Diamond and that coins s brought me nothing but profits.
It s like a savings account for your coins which generates 25% of interest per year and you keep it under control on your own PC.

The link is under my avatar if anyone s interested.

Just continue saving as much as you can and wait for a good moment to get a really nice profit.

note need to print your graph on my pillowcase so I can hold it every night..yeah baby :)

but truthfully with the current angst/fud/drama/etc on bitcoin and all with devs etc


I'd be happy as hell if it just did this

2013 150

2014  250  (say was the ave)

2015  400 (say is the new ave)

2016  550

2017  750


heck ....with all the above fud/drama/ and I assume future "bitcoin is dead' drama/backlash and push back...i can live with that

so the below seems to be coming true...i see the 'fight you' *futile thou it may be* coming up in spades this year of 2016!



First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.

Bitcoin never a dull moment :)

If I had such amount of bitcoins, I would save five of them as a long term investment, and I would invest the resting bitcoins in higher-risk instruments, perhaps forex trading or binary options.

I think you should try to invest somewhere related to gambling, I would not say the best option though, but try to invest in the gambling site's bankroll. You are always safe and can cashout your investment anytime you like to.

I wouldn't say that you are always safe when you invest in a gambling site. They can run away with your investment or get hacked.
My general advice is not to invest too much in one place and keep a lot of those coins in cold storage.

Smart decisión, that's exactly what i tell to all of my friends, the best invest that you can do right now is to keep them safe.

so about the question:


congratulate yourself because you reach two digits and keep them safe, and please don't use them on gambling sites, not if you are not a lucky man...

Try and store your bitcoins in a safe place and use it for your future savings. Considering the difficulty, the solo mining is not anymore profitable. I don't know how much you have spent to gather 10 BTC..but holding is the best investment as of now. Don''t go for "get rich quick" schemes and you may end up loosing it all. Bitcoin price will definitely get doubled within some years. At that point of time, the more the merrier rule will apply.

That s totally up to you, if you love bitcoin and have faith in it, you should keep them in cold storage. But if this is only about selling bitcoins for fiat - you can hold, trade or invest - your choice.

If you're looking to diversified, then i suggest you turn your attention to some ICO altcoins , other than that you can also diversift to ETH or XLM. But in my opinion if you dont need cash money at the moment, then holding it would be also a wise choice. I dont advise to do some trading since it has higher risk than buying ICOs and not many people can take that risk  ;D ;D

I want to say "wow" but I also had to imagine the cost of mining those bitcoins.

You are the lucky man, if you've earned 10 btc during 3 years) But right now, i advise you just holding bitcoins in your wallet and wait)

Move your assets to alt coins like ripple or etherium. A lot of people aren't jusg staying in bitcoins nowadays. Many have been diversifying to alt coins since there is a lot more opportunity there. Try to reconsider the half of your bitcoin collection.

Even though, Bitcoin seems to be the most reasonable investment right now, I would recommend you to invest in some popular altcoins such as Dash, Ethereum, Zcash etc. Probably, you still haven't claimed your Bitcoin Cash and Bitcoin Gold coins. They both have quite high value but try to think whether or now would you rather hold these coins like you do with Bitcoin. You never know what might happen in the future!

You spend much time in mining, because you really want bitcoin.
So you better hold it and dont spend it in buying other coin. Because in bitcoin you can assure your profit is safe. So just wait, be patient and relax.
Or if you like try to invest in one of the top promising coin it is also good thing to do.
