Kindly let me know about a good online investment to venture into.

right now I like altcoin's ICO's. they also have risk of loosing but some of them brilliant to invest..
you can venture in a good and new altcoin's ICO..

Altcoins are the worst risk since you will probably lose out on everything you invest unlike other risky investments incase its all a scam.

personally the best venture is to study first the alt coin trading industry theres a  lots of potential for all of us to profits from it as of this moment there are several project thats really moving so well just to mention few, psb, stratis ,jwl all of those three came from ico and still above the ico price you can look for that project mate.

Well if you want trade altcoins you can try poloniex, bittrex or yobit. There are many profitable of altcoins on there, but if you are looking for online investment is like HYIP, i don't recomended it because will become scam on the ending.

According to me The Best Investment Plan Now Is Altcoins Because Some Coins Are Brilliant to Invest Money But Some Are Dumb Coins But If You Know Much About Trading Altcoins Then You Can Succed In It....

I like have your past records on returns from your ICO investments. I do watch many people are recommending investing into new altcoins but rarely some people are sharing real proofs. Still, I am able to predict good returns with new concept altcoins.

Yes altcoin are good to invest especially those have ico invest to there for you to have get big income if the ico finish your investment become triple or more than . Altcoin is the best alternate of bitcoin you can invest in altcoin while waiting the bitcoin rise. Trading altcoin is now popular to traders they can earn money for that.

ICO's could either make you bank or break your bank, it depends on the community support rather than the developer by itself. If the developer vanishes then the community could do a takeover while keeping the price stable.

Investing safely means that you should do you due diligence before depositing so you will eliminate as much risk as possible.

Have fun.

Thanks guys.

There are lots of online investments you can choose to but the important thing here is, you must really known well that kind of investment before putting yourself in an actual one. Yes research, study and learnings is a must in any kind of online investment.

Risk are always there and that is normal.

I suggest to invest in bitcoin and learn to do trades before jumping into altcoin trading. You will know what I meant as soon as you build experience in your trading journey.

i agree with these one ICO's is the most ideal investment for these days since the online world is splattered by those scam sites, but we should be more vigilant and selective for those ICO's since there are numerous of them can be turned scam, so for that we should be carefull and look for the best coin with great community and choose those one with great community support like ICONOMI.

You can always invest in the Navette Capital Group's fund :)
We invest as a group into ICO's and take advantage of bonuses and early tips

You could be break if your lazy upon investing on those unclear ICO's but if you select those big ICO's well i think you can earn a huge profit from it, take a look on pesobit the ICO price for that coin is @ 300+ sats and for now the price per coin is about 6000+ satoshi, and i can call this coin a great potential one since the dev team do some hardwork to bent the price to the fullest and high provabilities that the price will rise up for more.

Yeah there are many of them are existing nowadays but we can't determine who's legit and who is not since we are now filled by those many scam site, so this kind of scheme we should really try to evade since if we get scam by those hyips is we don't have any chance to regain it back,

So i will agree for your second suggestion but this thing would be more risky if newbie trader will hurry to sold their coins in not right timing.

Since I am having a good day for passing my information security audit test at 100%, I will provide you a bit of funds along with some advice how you could start with trading. Send me a PM if you are interested in this mini-course! You do not have to pay for it.

Investing in a casino's bankroll is what will probably interest you. This topic is hot right now and discussed in great detail in this (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1573091.0) thread. For the comparison of dice sites that allow investing in their bankroll and the returns you might earn off them, you may want to jump to this (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1585408.0) thread as well. The results have been pretty amazing so far.

try to do some lending business either study how it is working from polo or how can you manage it correctly here in this forum, making btc lending can make you got good interest in return mate so instead of looking for online investment much better to create your own business.

Lending business is still have a risk since their are so many loan defaulter are scattered in this furom, but if lender select to get such huge and stable collateral well i think it is the best thing they can do and also they can make sure that still they can earn when they sell the collateral of those lazy barrower,

So at this days i think theres no really best on those investment platform who's existing today since all of them are high provabilities to be scam.

Lending is risky so is investing into  alt coins as i mentioned before.
Maybe putting into ETF funds would be yield better results.
Anyone have any of these and can comment?

Lending is not risky if you follow the basic things like don't anyone without a proper collateral and the collateral should be as you can easily liquidate and get back your money. If you follow these things properly then you will not make any loss, but if you lend money to someone on trust basis, then chances are there to go loss.

I've never been lending out myself (and I never borrowed either), thus I'm curious about the collateral thing. What is usually being taken for it? And if the collateral can be easily sold, why the borrower doesn't sell it himself? He would then get the required funds and would not need to take a loan and pay interest on it at all. I don't quite understand this.

Anyone care to explain?

If you are in the U.S. you may be interested in crowd-funding portals. New laws will now allow "unqualified" investors to invest a portion of their money in businesses via portals. There are many portals and many more coming. You can read about this change here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jumpstart_Our_Business_Startups_Act

In the past you had to be qualified to invest. It was an insulting system that had only one qualification, you must be rich. You must have a million dollars or more and must be able to show that you are likely to earn a million in the next year.  So a poor person with a PhD. in economics is UNQUALIFIED, while a rich person with a third grade education and brain damage is automatically QUALIFIED. The implication is that the poor should work for a living and let the rich live off their labor. Ridiculous.

Here is an example of a portal that is still opening: http://www.startupvalley.com/

Collateral you can put up what you can accept for lending loans. So you need to list the collateral which you can easily sell to recover your money and interest.

Why people take loans? - Because sometimes they may not be able to convert their collateral to cash easily or instantly so they will take the loans with collaterals. But you should remember to lend money lesser than the collateral worth.

And what can be used as a collateral in the Internet? In my opinion, altcoins don't make much sense since the borrower could just exchange them for bitcoins himself, and even more so if the collateral should be worth x times the amount of money borrowed (to make allowance for possible dump of the coins). The only thing that I can come up with right now is a Hero or Legendary Member account here. What other options are available?

Investment is always good if you invest in different projects, so you will never loose all at once.

what's the track record with returns on stuff like this? professional vc investors seem perfectly happy to throw hundreds of millions at worthless junk. I dunno if your average little guy has the stomach for something similar.

Is it really so or we are just led to believe into such stories? It is presupposed that professional investors should thoroughly investigate a business and evaluate its commercial potential before deciding on making an investment in it. In any case, I don't think they would be acting like reckless gamblers. We can only judge in retrospect whether something is going to end up as worthless junk, after all.

i'm talking specifically about tech vc investment. what differentiates that is that very few of their valuations seem to have any relation to actual intrinsic value like revenues and profit. it's pure speculation so no one knows what'll catch and what won't.

they seem to throw as much shit at the wall as possible and hope something sticks. a friend of mine put a bunch of his own money into a bitcoin payment processor. crazily enough it all went up in smoke. I could've told him that for half the money he threw away. 7

i'll guess over or near a billion dollars has been thrown at bitcoin/blockchain companies now. i'll also guess that not one cent of actual profit or return has been generated by any of that money yet. coinbase and circle must be burning millions per year and they're the classiest operations.

real vc investors have decade or more time frames but that's a lot of time for things to fade away or go wrong.

Is your friend a professional investor who makes his living off his investments? I always thought that investments in high-tech start-up enterprises can be more easily analyzed in respect to their potential success. In my view, such investments are substantially less risky overall than, say, investments in medical and health research or, for example, in a pharmaceutical start-up which aims to develop a new drug, provided adequate due diligence investigations have been conducted, of course.
