Bitcoin Forum

Hi so all I hear are the risks on here about this site. But has anyone actually made any money on their investments yet? any success stories at all?
 

You can't really make any money, because you have to be an accredited investor to invest, or have shit- i mean startcoin to invest.
Apart from that, the investors only invest in a very small circle of entrepreneurs (themselves).

Not a good way to start out.

what do you mean Accredited? I mean they make you do a test to make sure you know your investment will not be worth anything lol but that makes you accredited. I have gone in 2 investments of 1k usd to date.
I guess I will only make money if the companies are bought out which is unlikely I guess.

Accredited as in 100k$ in assets IIRC? You have to be accredited by the US Government

so you need to have invested 100k usd in order to be accreddited to invest in BNKTOTHEFUTURE? Im confuddled

synereo is running there ICO on  bnktothefuture.com, that's a big fish

& factom

I am bit confused too as they are saying on their main site that you can: Create your free investor account now*

What exactly that * means? Anyone could explain this to me? It is not really free, or as someone said before to really become an investor you need to be verified?

Yes they give you an extremely small free investment. But to be verified means taking a simple questionnaire. Or at least I hope that is what it is.

How do you actually make money from investing there. U get shares of different startups, then what?

And so what the final decision about bnktothefuture, whether the site is related to a scam site or another reason about that?

As the name stated im kinda bit confused even though i didn't see the site, but for me literally im kinda away from any of those at this moment and no plan to invest forever since all hyips are declared as scam already so never trust any of those so we cannot lose our money for this scam business, so for me i declared it as scam and that is what i've seen for that.

I just opened those website and i see many top business open share at their, how minimum to invest there? seems this is a big investment site and looks safe for investing at there.

Its safe.. Just the type of investment is very risky... its 1k usd minimum. Best way to to diversify and hope lol. Most of them will fail. So if you dont have 10 investments plus then you are nearly guaranteed to lose your money.

Then you lose all your money when they've burnt through what you gave them.

A friend of mine is in tech PR. We talked a while back about a few Bitcoin related things.

The last time I saw him he was looking a bit glum. He and his father had put a ton of money into a crypto payment processor, I can't remember which one, it might've been the one that abandoned Coinbase, and lost the vast majority of it funnily enough.

I sat there and gaped at him. 'You put money into a Bitcoin company?'

This is an area best left to the VCs for a long time to come. And even they're going to get a little bored of throwing their money away eventually. Other than being speculated on by bigger VCs I don't see where any returns are going to come from within the next decade or two.

I don't need to be accredited to know that putting money into an industry at this nascent stage is borderline suicidal.

A "bitcoin company" that actually means nothing and sounds like a thing a clueless person would say. I would think they would be talking about mining or currency exchange. Bitcoin is simply a currency. Do you call your business the money company ?? Any business can use bitcoin. That guy and his father shouldnt have put so much into that they should have invested in altcoins.

It really is not that hard to find a good investment.

In this context a Bitcoin company is a company focused around dealing with Bitcoin. There is no shortage of them.

And these aren't the piece of shit jokes you get in the securities section here. These are companies run by experienced people with proper backing. To be a payment processor requires a ton of regulatory compliance.

That still doesn't mean any of them are going to do anything other than throw your money away. Can you point me to a legit company that's offered any return to its backers?

Accredited investors are not going to be putting money into alts or casino bankrolls.

Yeah its risky but the rewards are amazing too. I worked out that if one of my investments came into fruition then I would turn 1k into 800k. Is that gonna happen? Probably not but there was a distinct chance which is why I invested...


So will you make money NO unless you diversify and even if you diversify you probably wont..

Investment alternatives?
Thank you.

Do you know what became of this offer? It sounds genuinely appalling. Investing in mining is a shitty idea at the best of times, investing outside China even worse.
