What I mean by decent is where you can really see that it is growing and it can give you profit that is enough to be reinvested.
Call me dumb but I really don't know. I'm sorry.
My only source of coins is my signature campaign. I earn about less than 0.1 BTC per month.
Any advice would be much appreciated.

You're not dumb, just this is weird question as there is no correct answer. I actually think that you should invest at least 0.3 to see decent profit after each month

There is no exact amount because there is no fix income or return in any investment. What I would do though is to start small and consistently or regularly adding some funds to my investment. After some time you will notice the return and if that amount is enough for you then you can stop adding funds.

It depends what you expect to get from this. If you want some pocket money, 10 BTC s the minimum amount you need to have and invest smart. If you want to be able to cover 1/3 of monthly expenditures living in some developed country, 100 BTC to invest and profit from is a minimum.

It all depends on your spending habits and expenditures.

Like the people before me told it all depends on number of factors, one of the most important is that, in what are you planning to invest. But now since you are looking for a simple answer in some amount of btc, considering that you earn 0.1 btc or less per month then I  would say 1 BTC-ish is a good amount for you to start investment and see atleast some profit.

I agree, but these numbers are too huge for a commoner like us :D.  I think for a regular employee and want extra income, 0.5 to 1 BTC is enough to make your everyday life going with ease.  But of course, you need a particular requirement to be able to use it wisely and successfully.  Knowledge, hard work, patience and being smart is the one required to make them grow multiple times.

it depend on what you can afford. if you earn more or less 0.1 per month, then keep collecting everything till you reach an amount of let's say 0.3-0.5btc, and start trading with it. i only advice you to trade bitcoin, but if you so wish you can also trade altcoins, but the risks there are much higher since it's a speculation driven market.

It's different based on people preferences on the word "decent".

Others considered BTC0.1 or even less as a decent amount whether as an earnings or as a capital in an investment. If you think that a certain amount is decent in your own preferences then that is a decent one. Simple as that. 8)

Depends upon where you like to invest that amount if you are thinking to invest those bitcoin in gamblings sites bankroll than any amount smaller than 1 bitcoin may not give significant return, investing in altcoin ICO than 0.10 bitcoin will be enough if you trust the project and think have potential but if you like to start trading and earn profit you need atleast 10 bitcoin to day trade bitcoin or for altcoin trading 2-3 bitcoin may give you significant return if you can predict the market move correctly.

I assume the OP means throwing money into piece of shit sites that'll promise the world and deliver nothing. In that case zero is by far the best amount.

It’s impossible to know the answer to that question because you don’t define what you mean by decent, for example for you 0.2BTC maybe a lot or maybe that is too low but for another person those quantities have different meaning

The amount you do earn per month is good for decent investment, but not the decent investment or the amount involved that matters. What matters most is the knowledge of how to trade better if you don't have enough knowledge, you may easily loose your hard earned money. Better try to learn perfect knowledge on where to invest and how to trade.

i think every one has their own idea and thinking and  to me if you have 50 Bitcon then it can be call as decent amount for investment.

The decent investment it's not about how many amount you're want for investing in the any investment place but that is about the decent place for investing your amount for get a profit from them and I think there is no a minimal and maximal amount for investing in the decent investment. decent investment are means the good investment place for you. if you're wanna for getting a decent place for your amount I think will be better investing into the reputable ico dude.

Thanks guys for the honest answers. I think 0.1 per month is decent for me but I'm going to save more and accumulate at least 2 BTC before I go start trading. I really appreciate your help, guys. Thanks.



No, I really meant trading. That's why I posted this in the Trading Discussion section. Duh.

you shouldn't really ask this from other people, and instead come up with the answer yourself.
because it is up to you and your pocket + willingness to take risks that can answer your question.

for example if you have 100BTC and want to take small risks you can go in with 10BTC
or if you have 0.1BTC and willing to take big risks you can go in with all of it.

also try to think in fiat terms that might help like 0.1BTC=63$ so are you really worried about losing 63$?

Depends on my 3 months experiences; If you are trading BTC/USD then you will need at least 2-3 BTC for capital. This may be called decent investment. So thats how you can increase your investment satisfactory.

But if you are talking about altcoin trading then I don't have enough experiences about it so I can't say anything.

Of course it's totally up to your economic situation.  

Good luck.

There is really no such thing as a decent amount because it all depends on the person. Ot depends on how much you can afford as a budget. The thing you should just remember is that the more you invest the more profit you get. The 0.1 btc provably will be enougj fr starters and you candecide to increase it as you familiarize with trading.

i think trading in alt coins you can really invest any amount of bitcoin, as you can trade a currency which have a very cheap value but having good potential, so you can really make good profit if its value goes high.

in my way of thinking there is no decent amount to get start profit and then reinvest .
because in investment there is more loss of chance because the tge place where we invested is trusted or not .
overall if you want earn some legit way to make money then this forum is alredy a best place to earn money in.signature campaign .

it depends on where you want to invest your coins, some investments need more bitcoin so it would be case by case basis but since you are posting in trading subforum i am assuming you want to invest in trading. in that case if you really know how to invest and make profit then it really doesn't matter how much you invest. you can start with 0.001 or less and still make profit with trading and grow the amount over time.

In my own understanding and  opinion., decent  investment  or profit would  really depend on  person needs on monthly basis  because   all people  have different  of need and   targets  on a  particular month thats why  we do lots of  things   just to earn  bitcoin and  all of us  have different  income  on monthly basis too. Thats  why there no exact answer for this.

i can give you one suggestion that if you stick to you will never regret it.

don't ever think your amount is small or big even if you are investing 0.01BTC or less. the only thing that you have to be concerned about is to ask yourself is "can i afford to invest and risk this amount".

your 0.1BTC per month earning is a good amount to start with. just make sure to invest in a good altcoin not those that you hear about on the trollbox by some random guy.

It's just relying on your investment but for my personally at least investing more than 0.2++ and why caused by if I get profit and then not just only get a little but already enough for becoming my next capital for the another investment. but understand yourself and searching your decent amount for yourself.

There is no exact amount to start in an investments. In
trading you can start in any amount. But, you must buy
a coin at cheaper price, so you can earn profit when you
sell it atleast double the price. Thus, no exact amount to
invest in any investment method.

i believe that there is no one right answer to this question of yours. because the answer solely depends on how much money you own. for a rich person investing a million dollar is a "decent" investment and for a poor guy investing $50 is still investment and the rest in between. so you have to come up with the number yourself.

and obviously the more you invest the more you can earn and also the more you are risking.

Now that you have defined how much you want to earn and how much you are willing to invest then that means that you want a 5% monthly return on your investment, that is in fact a nice number, some people want 100% return or something like that, I think that with enough skills and knowledge your goal is attainable.

Don't get involved into sites where you can invest your coins for a certain interest rate. Either continue with your signature campaign as that is the safest way of seeing the number of coins that you have grow, or jump into trading if you know how to trade.

The best strategy is to keep buying a little with whatever you can afford whenever you get spare cash... The btc will appreciate if you have patience and give  it time

Avoid the scams that promise 1% a day etc and just hodl hope bitcoin in some cold storage, any small amount of bitcoin today will be worth a lot by 2020 etc so whether  you can afford $10 or $100 or $1000 a month you will make great  returns....

Even if you have knowledge of trade but you are trading for the first time then its good to start with small capital to get the real life experience and over a period of time you can increase your investment step by step.

I could say $1,000 because any amount less than this can be used for trading of course but the risk is lower so the profit it is, anything higher than $1k can be considered ad a decent investment and maybe sometimes it isn't enough.

If you want profit that able for you to reinvested, it is going to take a lot of money, maybe around 10 bitcoin, a legit investment not really earn much, as for the casino investment, it is only earn around 1 to 2% a month and sometimes you dont even earn money

Bro It Depends Upon in Which Business You are Investing Your Money E.g. If You are Investing in Trading You Can Start With 0.3-0.5 Btc But If You are Investing in Some Other Business Then You Need a Big Investment.....
But I Suggest You to Invest in Trading After You Collect a Decent Amount But Be Careful In Trading Because You Can Lose Your Money if You Don't Do it With Full Knowledge......

Well, no decent and average amount is here in trading, but as you are earning from signature campaign, so you should trading with your 0.1 BTC, and i believe you can also earn from trading 0.1 bit. Also better is that should use limited amount in trading if you have no experience about it, In first month, may be you can't earn more, but later on you will be started earning from it.   

if you're asking the least amount to be called decent investment you will get various answer as earning in every countries is different and there's also developed and developing country which having far salary,in developing country 15$ was a big money but in developed country it's only can be used to buy junk food,but if it was investment it's matter about your wealth whether you can call the amount of what you invested is decent,if it's about 15% of your current wealth then it's what you should call decent investment

depending on the amount of profit that you can possibly make in trading i say somewhere between 0.5-1BTC is going to generate enough decent profit for you to be happy about.

but if you want to start that is a completely different story. because as a starter you should only think about the profit not the amount of it.

If you are doing some investment and you get your ROI back and your profit BACK don't invest on second time or don't reinvested it you're just giving a chance of scammer scammed your bitcoin and signature campaign is really good source income every month or per wwek depends.

But if he is getting profits from his investments then he can trust that place to reinvest it, as not all sites are scams and if you do good research before investing then you can expect good returns from it.

There is no right, wrong or clever answer to your question. Everything depends how much funds you have, how much you want to earn and how much are you ready to lose. For some decent sum is 0.1 BTC and for some is 1 BTC. I also don't know which country are you from and that could also be the factor to determine "decent" sum.

There is nothing wrong with reinvesting if the business you are investing is a legit business; casinos are good example of this if you invest in an established casino you are bound to get 1% to 2% on average per month which is great if we compare it with the investment that you can get in a bank.

That's right if you are earning good profits from certain investment then you will surely reinvest at same place as you will start gaining trust on it and you will never experiment by investing at some other place.

The problem there is more risk to invest in gambling casino than investing in banks that your money are safe..
I saw some investors before to try 5 different gambing casino he made a good profit in 3 site but failed in 2 investment. .
Well for now its still good if you are lucky that the casino you are investing is more profitable than other casino..

But there is no guarantee that you will make profits by investing in casino sites as we are not sure how long they will continue their operations and may suddenly disappear in future.

Yeah I have seen that thread too, in fact is on of threads I’m following, but you must understand that any investment, cannot guarantee profits however with the house edge on your side you are bound to get profits in the long run and that experiment has posted results for 2 months only and even then has reported profits of close to20% per month if remember correctly.

All investments come with risks, so it is always good to choose well-trusted sites to invest. If you think casino investments are risky then just hold on to coins until it grows. But if you put your coins in few good casinos and over some time you will surely make a good profit along with the BTC price appreciation.

What your means about investing in casinos? Refer to the bankroll or suggesting me for betting in the casinos? I can be defined if the reputable casinos will make more for our amount. Actually I can't say that is 100% accurate, right?

in my opinion if our stretagy of trading and prediction of price calculation for future is best then we can make start trading at only very low amount of btc which is  about 0.01btc it is sufficient to start trading .

0.01 would do if you  are  just starting  up   into trading and  if you manage it to grow  more then thats the time  you should  add up  your  bank roll so that you could able to  buy coins even more and would maximize the profits. Decent investments would really depends on a certain person on which he is already  contented with it.

This, if you don’t feel comfortable with an investment, then don’t invest, but there are a lot of ways to protect yourself from a bitcoin casino disappearing, for example you could invest in several well established casinos.

to me if you have some good assets then 5 bitcoins will be a decent amount for trading, and that is because that if you invest some money in some alt coins and the price comes down then you will have a choice to hold it because you will have some other money to invest some where else.

I think 5 btc is a huge amount to invest in altcoins and if you are new to trading then its not recommended to go with that high amount, its always good to start with a small capital and gain experience first so I think if you  are going to trade altcoins then 0.5 btc is a good amount to start with as even if you loose it won't make much difference to you.

In my experience, even 0.1 bitcoin is more than enough to consider as a decent investment for altcoin trading. But it is highly dependent on experience of a trader, after gaining experience no single trader is preferring to go with minimal amounts.

Calculated risk is the biggest advantage of experienced traders, so they can go with any amount of investments but only after gaining handsome experience with trading.

I think it will all depend to us. If you're broke, even 0.001BTC will appear to you as a 'decent' investment but if you're rich, 1BTC surely isn't enough for you. I think for you to call your investment a 'decent' amount, it should be the highest possible amount that you can afford to lose and that would depend solely on you. I suggest investing 5% of your bankroll so it wouldn't be that much to you if you lose all of that money.

0.1 btc is a decent investment for me as well and use some of it for trading.. as a starter in trading it's better to invest with a small capital first. Once you already know how the system works in trading that' s time you can invest with a big capital.

this is another how long is a piece of string question ..........too many variables

lets keep it simple and say any amount you can afford is a good investment
2.1 btc is nice
21 btc is 1 millionth of the entire supply so
100 btc is a load
1000 btc  millionaire status very soon in $$$
1000+ youre probably already set for life  ;D ;D ;D

a lot of exciting things are happening in the btc world and the value will at least triple in the next 12 months is my estimation

Yeah starting poit is to play your small amount in trading and learn something every thing needs to study in trading you can not get any mentor out there because they are satisfied what they are earning from trading.. so learn it first with your own way until you discover the way to make a good profit in trading.
