Hello every one.I have just bought 0.5 btc to do some investement but i am not able to find any good place to invest them.
Should i invest in cloud mining sites like genesis-mining,hashnest or hashflare.Or there are other options as well to invest my 0.5 btc where i can get some profit after some time.I have invested 0.05btc so far in hashflare out of those,now 0.45 btc left.Please tell me any trusted and good place to invest on.

Never try any cloud mining, they are many ponzi scams, we need to know this is consensus. i think you should hold bitcoin, or invest altcoins in poloniex exchange.

you have already invested your money into bitcoin, why would you even want the headache of cloudmining investment!
all the cloudmining service that you see these days are scam, and are running a ponzi scheme instead of a legit business.
and besides even if it is a legit mining business with real profit returns, you still need to worry about your return of investment and all the fees they take out of your payment for things like maintenance,...

cloudminings are not worth it mate. Most of them are ponzis i disguise while earning in a legit cloudmining will require you a whole lot of money to gain profit fr a decent time. Don't invest your money just keep it in your wallet and wait for a price pump. Or you may want to consider trading. Most people are lucky to get huge profit in it and your 0.5 btc is already big as a starting capital.

Hi, You will find many investments sites and opportunity to invest in bitcoins but most of them are ponzi schemes which will make your money lost.
I know few investment opportunities which are really paying (as my friends told) and i can help you on that if u need.
I personally dont invest on any sites.

You are new to the bitcoin and cryptocurrency world,i quess.
The 0.05 btc that you invested in hashflare are at high risk.
The only legit way to invest your bitcoins is to learn and practice cryptocurrency trading and trade every day.
 

You should invest in a good POS Altcoin which gives you good monthly stake reward according to me Atomic Coin is best Coin for POS Reward

If you have the time and experience or time to build the experience, try day trading.

invest in mining, one x11 asic that cost you 300 usd can generate $50 usd per month, 6 months to roi

keep the other 200 usd for yourself, never invest everything you have, you can always invest in something else if your first investment turned bad

try to invest in altcoin which is currently being developed. very much a project that is currently under intense public discussion, and if you dare to take risks, then invest in one altcoin which is being developed at this time be a very good thing. in addition, when the ico success, I am sure, many will you get out of it.

I think you are mainly concentrating on investing into cloud mining, you can invest in cloud mining but to get returns it will take lot of time to make profit from those cloud mining sites. So it's find different places where people are making money, because there are many other sectors where you can make money like trading, investments, rev share, altcoin investment, altcoin trading etc.

Try investing in gambling sites. How about Yolodice.
You just need .01 BTC to invest in it. There is not much for this gambling site have been providing good advertisement here and they are paying.
You could also try putting some investment in other gambling websites. This have been the trend of some people here now since it is also fast and passive. You wont have to do anything and some of their profits will go to you.

Firstly, I don't think investing in any cloud mining is reliable or if you sure that will be a real cloud mining system but they will not bring you the expected amount of interest. If someone refer you to some kind of HYIP, I recommend that you have to say NO. I mean, I don't trust in any HYIP system because they all end at scam before you can get your starting money back (except some system will give you some profits before break down but still very risky).
I'm investing in Altcoins trading, and I think if you want to make money, you have to take risk, but this level not as high as 2 kind of system I've mentioned in the first section. You should start to buy some new coin and earn money from their increase. Of course, its will take times to do good but I think you can

*clap clap* top class advertising m8, go ask your CM for a raise

Look over this site : coinmarketcap.com

Then from there, make research and base on the trading volume within 24hour, and look at the consistency of the average trading price so you know its not a daily pump. Then invest and remember, diversify so you won't make loss because of 1 investment

If you don't know where to invest, just don't. Wait, read and learn.
Never get investing advises from strangers and whatever you read, double check and filter.
When you've learned more, then you'll know (more or less) where to invest.

Bitcoin and altcoin investments are quite risky, so make sure you afford to risk that money.

Can i invest in genesis-mining because i think its a legit site.What you say on that sir

It will took you 5-10 months or even a year before you get your ROI there or on any cloud mining sites, even other people call it "legit cloud mining site" there's no guarantee that this sites will give back your money 100% and they aren't totally legit.
Why just you save it or used it on trading but you have to learn it first.

You could just keep hold of your 0.5 as this is an investment in itself.  Some of the so called invest opportunities you come across will be very risky especially cloud mining as a lot of these will be scams and even legit ones it will take you at least a year to get a ROI.

You could also look into altcoins, the potential for quick profit is there if you are in the right coin at the right time but you can also lose your money just as quickly.

There are alot of options to be real.First thing is if you have that confident and you can afford to lose your investment in instances you can go gambling and make huge profit in just second or minute.If you wanna go sure profit go trading,if you want to have a passive earning then go to sites that pays you when you invest on their adpacks

You can think of altcoins for investment. You can make good money with altcoin trading. Bitcoin makes money on short and long maturity. But if you want to make money quickly, it may make sense to trade with altcoins.

I have brought a car, can I buy another car to drive the earlier car. In your case Bitcoin you have brought and itself is a investment there is no need to do any investment in it. Especially do not invest in hash sites and all they all go bust. Just lock your coins safely and secure your private keys and do not loose your coins. Bitcoin over a time increases it price, and you will have to hold and you have brought it at a very high price. Just keep it hold, don't spend it anywhere. Maybe you could do a giveaway for a site or something but nothing else.

First thing you must know that all investment involves risk.Cloud mining is 99.9% scams and you should be extremely careful with them.
Two investments that have given me good returns (some times loss too) is trading on some good exchange and investment in ICO.

As you have mentioned that you have invested 0.5btc in hashflare , and if i am not wrong just forget that investment as all cloud mining sites are scam and even if it is genuine you wont get your ROI, So better not to go with cloud mining sites, If you want you can start lending btc in this forum by accepting some collateral against the loan, but before that first you go through with some of the leading lenders and get their help in setting up the procedure to follow so that you should not get scam by loan defaulters. Apart from that Bitcoin buying and keeping in the wallet itself is a good investment as you can see the price is rising every time so it is a good investment keeping it in wallet for some long time so that you can get the high price and profit.

ICO investment are long term investment therefore requires patience.Also judging the right ICO is also takes some research and there are some precautions you must observe.

That is a very big amount of bitcoin and if I were you, invest it in altcoin trading because you can even double your bitcoin amount as you learn the ways that trading may bring your profit into progress. You must study well to trade and don't be easily discourage if you feel discomfort of your decisions, try to analyze the trend of btc market and thats very helpful in order to save your holdings.

No need to think too much about investing your bitcoin, because that in itself is an investment right there, if you just hold it and be patient for the price to rise again. The risk is there that it is going to go down, but it is not the best performing currency for nothing. If you are really bent on investing, maybe try investing in a casino. I believe you can invest for as low as 0.1 bitcoin and just let it sit there for a while and see how much profit you can get from it.

You can try Altcoin trading if you want to grow your coin.One thing you must keep in my mind not to trade with shitcoin.
There are many good coins that can give you good profit if you understand market.
I have made some good profit recently with MaidSaifcoin but you should decide yourself which one you want to invest in.
Another good option would be Flycoin on yobit. I am not affiliate to Flycoin but the dev has some good plans and I have seen its price going up in short period.

0.5 Bitcoins is not that much but still I would split the amount. A part of it, like 0.2 Bitcoins I would invest in trading and every profit made out if it I would invest further. So the goal is to enlarge the Bitcoin amount at the end. Like someone else has also said Bitcoin itself is already investment so with time it will grow biger.

Never put all that money into cloud mining sites and you just did a wrong move on putting 0.05 btc into hashflare and i shall say putting on those mining schemes arent profitable at all specially on longer runs. If i were you if you dont have any idea to invest better to keep those bitcoin and if you dont like waiting time then try to do trades.

As said 0.5btc is not a big amount to initiate some sort of investment or business plans. As mentioned even with this you can split it up and try different earning possibilities. You may also give a try to gambling, if lucky you can get some good earning for better investment. In my view you can start trading because several trading websites give chance to trade even with such a small amount.

I dont want to suggest any sites for you. If i will tell you to trade, do you have the skills to do some trading and if not you will just be in the losing end. I will not suggest gambling since this game is pure luck and if you dont how it works you will just get your bitcoin eaten. So for now before investing anything just do some research and try to get some experience in those kind of field by using only a small parts of your capital. After gaining sufficient knowledge and skills then you are free to use your capital as you please.

if you want to make profit out of the 0.5 btc then you should straight heed to trading sites like yobit which i use and recommend you. what you should do is just buy altcoin in lower rates and sell in higher rates that's what is trading. otherwise you can simply keep your money in your wallet and hold for 1 year to double the amount to value of 1 btc

I think you can not just suggest him to trading because he seems new in bitcoin world and don't know anything about trading. He potentially lose his 0.5 btc. Indeed trading can said including as one of invest way but trading is not easy job. I am not in your side in this point dude. But when he strong determination to learn it is not take too long time to understand mechanism of trading but need relative time to become experienced analysis the fluctuations.

Agree,engaging on trading isnt easy at all specially when you are a newbie and its really easy to suggest to someone about it since earning on trading is really possible if you are knowledgeable on it but hearing or doing it for the first time would surely burn out that 0.5 btc so easily because without proper knowledge on anything will really be a big problem instead.

first step is understanding the risks involved with investments.
second step is understanding that cloudmining sites are all ponzi scheme and should be avoided at all costs unless you want to lose all your money!

then you can find some options to invest. although i would suggest any novice user to stick to bitcoin and consider that investment enough.
but your options are trading, which is mostly investing in altcoins and also investing in some business such as the gambling sites.

As of now keep what is left from your .5 BTC as it is not safe to invest your Bitcoin online not even the so called CloudMining Sites. There are thousands of sites claiming to be a real investment firm/company that gives unbelievable returns in which if you invest to them they will just pay you back the money you put to them together with the new members who just put their Bitcoin in it. If you really want to invest your Bitcoin, convert it to Fiat and invest in the stock market or a mutual fund.

Altcoin might seem like a more better Investment option but It also involves risks though not like Cloud mining sites. In a situation where after buying the coins and the price dumped afterwards makes altcoin trading a very unstable investment option. Maybe the best way to save your btc instead to avoid losing them

The stock market and mutual funds are also risky. We don't know when the companies will go loss and when the market price will go down. Investing on dice game casinos is good. Because in these sites the winning percentage is always favour to the house edge. So find any good and reputed dice site and invest. Try 2 or 3 weeks if you do not satisfy take back your bitcoins and make some other investment.

A bad move IMO. Probably invest in a site, buy a domain and hosting and have articles written. It's a lot better in the long run.

Hold it if that all you have the price is looking like in an up tredn right now, how can you beat the % growths per month of holding anyway without much work.

As you have already wasted your 0.05 (it is wasted according to me if it is invested in cloud mining), so i would suggest you to just keep the remaining amount safe until you find the best place for an investment. And meanwhile, try to learn some trading skills as trading is considered to be one of the most effective investments in crypto currency world now a days.

It's true, he already lost 0.05 BTC for cloud mining site... I think the best for him is to hold his coins. If he bought it now or few days, weeks ago, he probably bought it for $1000. He can wait some time, maybe months and sell the Bitcoins for $1500-$2000, the expectations are good about BTC price.

Meanwhile, if he doesn't want to hold only, he can grow his money in a casino bankroll, waiting for the BTC price increase.

If you can't find anything worth your BTC then do not waste it in something that will most likely make you lose the money. I say keep making more BTC by working and buying every month, and hold it, then once there is a good alt to invest gamble a bit by buying some, or try to play the market and sell in a pump then buy back in the correction.

You can buy litecoins 

Investing your bitcoin on an Investment site like Cloud mining, and HYIPs, or other Investment sites here is not a good idea. Yes you will make a profit out of it, but you are not sure when will that Investment site would be a scam and run off like nothings happen, like there are no people invested on them at all. It would be better if you will just do another way to multiply your bitcoin, like doing signature campaign, Trading maybe, if you know how to Trade, and so on, just don't Invest it to something that you are not sure about if your bitcoin would return to you in time, with profit.

Earning bitcoin is better than Investing it, because in Investment, you will wait until the amount that you have been deposited already make a profit that would satisfy you, and yet, you are not sure if your bitcoin would going to come back to you after a payout or a withdrawal, because most of them are just turning to a Scam after several week, or even in just a day, while if you are earning bitcoin, you are sure that your bitcoin is in the safe place while you are earning some, and in holding your bitcoin and wait until its price goes up could help you to make a larger profit than Investing.

Indeed, you are already in an investment program, just hold your bitcoin until the price increase.  If you want, you can take advantage of bitcoin fluctuation.  I may suggest that you hold your bitcoin for now and read about trading.  Do not worry even if it takes you 1 year studying how to trade, your investment with bitcoin is safe :).  You hold it right?  Then when you feel like ready to take advantage of Bitcoin fluctuation then you can try it since by then you already have the grasp of trading.

Why do you want to invest your bitcoin?
Any particular reason?
Any investment coming with huge risk, so please be aware about it.
In fact, since bitcoin price increased a lot recently, I think that you can earn much more just if you continue to keep btc funds in your wallet, instead of investing.
In investing you can loose but if you keep funds in the wallet, you can just wait for price increase and sell, with good profit.

Avoid cloud mining sites, Most of them are scams, I have a bad History with them, I was scammed many time, The most prominent one is Hashocean.
So invest your money in a good domain to get some profit. I advice you to try trading, as it is a great domain for gain a lot of money. If you don't have any idea about it, you can learn from the internet, one day you can be a good trader.

Good luck

some projects are coming out in late feb/march, try and divide and invest in them, Qtum will be profitable, if you can look into it. Now most of altcoin are dropping in prices, such as komodo, iconomi, vslice, golem etc. a fraction of your bitcoin in this altcoin will be profitable if u wait a while.

That question is really confusing me  ???
I mean, you have already invested your money into Bitcoin.
Or, if you were looking for an investment, you could have invested dollars into a project. Why buy Bitcoins?

Try investing on a trusted lending site such as BTCJam to gain interest. You can also lend to people you trust and charge them interests That's how I grow my bitcoins.

Most of the cloud mining sites are scam. They run like ponzies. They take your money and end up running away. It's better not to invest over there and stay away from them. Try buying alt coins and try to make profit from them. Learn about the coins before you invest. And you can also try investing on casinos. You won't make any loss, cause the house always wins, ergo you  make profit on the long run.
You can try crypto-games.net to invest your BTC. They are very trusted.  :)

If you have any knowledge of altcoins then you can invest that amount in potential altcoins as if price pumps then you can make really good profits from it as I firmly believe that investing in altcoin is far better then investing in any hyips or cloud mining sites as they won't give you positive results in long run and if you don't want to take any risk then better to hold them and sell when price goes higher in future.

I would say that holding and earning bit by bit as BTC price is moving upwards is the best idea for the long run.
Ideas for sure investments/earnings is just thinking of what you can do best(your skills) and make someone pay in BTC for that.
Other ideas consist maybe in investing into a BTC casino Bankroll , which provides 1-2% winnings in about 1 year,but for 0.45 BTC is not really what you're looking for, I think.

Wonder why no one is asking for recommendations on good sites or videos to learn Altcoin Investment or
trading
If I could find a guaranteed investment scheme with good returns, learning wouldn't be a problem really.

Oh my, you made the wrong decision for investing in cloud mining sites. Most of them are scummy avoid it nest time. Neither in gambling sites don't you ever try to invest there even for fun only. Just do the right thing of where you gonna place your investment. And one of the best way for you to place it is buy altcoin and hold it for a long term like Litecoin, Eth, Nem, Maid,  some other altcoins you think is good to invest in here is coinmarketcap.com  for you to find out the legit top 10 coins. Then save some bitcoins fir the future.

If i'd wanted to invest, my best bet would be altcoins(do a research to choose good ones). if btc price starts going down the altcoins price would go up.
 i would highly advice you to stay away from cloud mining scams!!

Are you advising to invest in cloud mining and if so i would like to know your thoughts about it and what are the sites you have invested and it is a good thing to generate $50 a month with 6 months ROI. Trading alt coins would be my choice with the kind of investment you have.Read and study the markets carefully before investing .

Isn't it called investment yet That you have your money now on bitcoin ? If it isn't enough for you yet then you are surely looking for ways that you can make you bitcoin grow . I suggest you to just keep your remaining bitcoin in your wallet and start learning things regarding to bitcoin/alt coin trading and try to understand the systems of bankroll investments .

he is saying invest in one ASIC and ASIC is a miner (a physical thingy you buy to mine cryptocurrencies with, google ASIC miner for more info) so he is in fact talking about mining not "cloud" mining ponzi.

first try to learn trading, once you know and understand your new bitcoin you try to invest because it is here if you are good at reading the chart you will always profit

This link its

Cloud mining is a bad idea.  Most cloud mining services are ponzi schemes - even the most popular ones often turn out to be scams and it's near impossible to be 100% safe so I would not invest any more.  The ones which aren't ponzis will give you little ROI if any and are not a wise investment anyway.

What you need to understand is that it's quite unlikely that businesses, especially those with loads of money anyway, are going to earn you money while you're doing nothing.  Bitcoin, fortunately, is an investment in itself, and you need to think about exchanging between Bitcoin and altcoins like Litecoin on exchanges like Poloniex as well as Bitcoin with your local currency on exchanges like Bitstamp.

Trading is the best thing you can do with the amount of money you have at the moment and if you could invest in a good altcoin then you will be able to earn a good amount of profit in a short time and it is not easy to invest in a cloud mining site as the ROI takes a long time to get back some profits.

You totally make a joke. :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

Probably a good amount of things that you could easily attempt to earn some money off that .5 bitcoin, which is a pretty penny at the moment due to the price increase.
1) Put money into the bankroll of some reputable gambling sites with a higherish house edge to ensure that you have the highest odds of profit.
2) Trade altcoins through an exchange such as Poloniex, Bitfinex, etc. This is one of the more risky things you can attempt to do, it's kind of like penny stocks in the real stock market.
3) Be a day trader of bitcoin with that $500 on a site like BTC-E, GDAX, where you can sell a buy back the bitcoin you have for USD and back to bitcoin. May not be a lot but bitcoin is very volatile so their is money to be made.

Some of the many things you can do in order to make some money, but with everything that you can make money from their is a chance to lose it all.

Yeah exactly my point of view is same with you bro. when we are investing in bitcoin why you want to any other thing like cloud mining investment. Bitcoin is most secure platform and you can get much benefit and earning from this platform to any other platform.

Other platforms are not secure according to investment point of view even you investment get lost without any benefit because they just a fake thing. So, my honestly advice is that you should invest on bitcoin if you want to invest more because it is most secure platform.

I surely wouldn't invest a penny in a so called cloud miining website, where usually they get their photos from shutterstock ect lol and keep telling to people, look at our latest harware !  ;D


How much on average is the interest there ? I didn't know they have a lending section...

Before you invest that 0.5, Ask yourself if you can afford to lose that amount because if you don't then lessen that amount and only invest what you can afford to lose because investing always have risk of getting loss in the game. By the way, you can invest that 0.5 in bitcoin trading because you can see that the price already surpass the ATH and i think bitcoin keep on reaching up, so you can take advantage of the movement of the price of bitcoin. You can also try investing in gambling sites but do research first before doing any kind of transactions.

https://poloniex.com/lending#BTC

https://poloniex.com/support/aboutMarginTrading/

It's not a good idea to be asking advice online with people who will favor one part to another. But here is my advice for you investing Bitcoin is still a shady area in the internet you have little to none when it comes to choices what I mean about that is you only have Altcoin Exchanges as a tool for investment, but even that is called Trading. Also stay away from HYIP sites which is really not a investment tool rather it is some kind of revenue sharing in which they allocate your payment to old members of the site.

wouldn't recommend a single mining sites , cause the risk/reward factor just doesn't make sense at all
I would rather put that money in poloniex lending where you can get some nice fixed returns , or you can check gambling sites and invest in one or two

I guess the best is to divide your money on all of the above , but fees may take a large cut tho

Well, 0.5 BTC looks pretty much for today. may be very good if you start trying to invest in altcoin. maybe you should wait a while until there is a successful project altcoin, most likely, the price of the coin is when the initial distribution will decrease the target price, so it is an opportunity to buy the coins in large quantities, and wait until the price is stable. it might give you an advantage.

Investing in cloud mining is a big no-no as they are just a different form of ponzi sites and not reliable at all. Usual ponzi sites stay in the market for a week and cloud mining sites stay a little over a month because their payout is really low. So don’t fall in to these cloud mining traps.

Have faith and start trading. I can vouch for trading that it is the best method to earn good amount of income from your initial investment. There are a lot of videos available in youtube which can guide you in the world of trading and you can start testing with a little. This is how exactly I started and now I am capable of handling all my expenses with bitcoin earning only. 

I always invest in some altcoins when I have additional money, therefore, I recommend this investment way and don't think you will find a better way, I recommend ICN, GUP ( not yet on exchanges).

Don't go with cloud mining and hyip investment you're about to waste your bitcoin that is huge amount you can start trading with that kind of initial deposit there is the real profit not on investing on the website that we can't assured that we can earn even though admins are promising to give us back a good profit someday.

Don't invest anywhere lol, keep your .5 btc in your wallet. you'll make more $ by holding bitcoin than investing. :)

Exactly or visit gpushack and buy used mining hardware to mine Altcoins which can be exchanged for Bitcoin.

Cloudmining for me as an investment is a joke.  We all prove that it is not that profitable and it really take very long time to ROI wherein if we learn trading and use the BTC to trade, we can profit multiple times than cloud mining earnings.  Trading is one of the best source of profit if mastered.  Profit in trading is  boundless. 

It is a pretty good advice if you do not have a clue about anything.There are many ways to multiply your coin,trading and gambling are the popular ones here,what ever you do make sure that you learn everything including the risks involved and if you are not able to take those risks then keeping your coins in your wallet is the best thing you can do. :)

You are right there are many ways to grow the 0.5 bitcoin,  trading is a way to grow the investment. And 0.5 bitcoin is big investment , for the right trading strategy simply can he grow his money in short days. Too risky to gamble maybe he grown his money or lose it  so I advise go for trading for you to grown your btc.

One thing i did not agree with your statement is investing in gambling because OP is wanting to earn for his money and gambling is not profitable it is only for fun.
Try to invest in altcoun which has a possibility to increase its value but take care on that more coins now are already a scam.

investing in gambling =/= investing in a gambling site.
the first one is not even an investment and people should not even call it that. you spend money on gambling is a much more accurate thing to say.
but investing in a gambling site's bankroll is a legit way of investment and as long as that gambling site is honest the investment will give you a good profit without a doubt.

I suggest you never ever invest in those cloud mining platforms you will only lose some of your money not only that it is not profitable but you will also do not get any ROI that is promised by the site.
You could try some other things like trading, lending or you could also offer some services especially if you have skills in programming just look around here in the site and you will find some ways to earn Bitcoin.

Dont invest in cloud mining, I never heard happy ending story when people invest in cloud mining, find other place to invest, and if you are confused then just hold on to your coin, finding a legit place to invest is really difficult, by holding your coin you already investing

As suggested trading seems to be the best platform to grow your bitcoin, if you can invest continuously. 0.5 btc is quite good to make a better earning but this could be multiplied based on the further investments made on buying and holding. Because the price fluctuations sometimes don't get you big profit margins.

Well there are many ways to multiply, but all of them are risky and so much scams out there! holding bitcoin is the best thing. why invest in some scammy hyip site and lose your coins? i've been victim of scams, that's why i suggest holding.

Smart words. As a small guy you don't really have legit opportunites to invest into something. Most of those offerings are scams and your money will be lost. Crypto space still is very much like the good old wild wild west. Bitcoin is the investment!That should be enough risk. All the other stuff is mostly gambling and should be done with money you can afford to lose.

On page 3 you said altcoins was a good investment but yesterday you just said don't invest anywhere this is getting confusing. So which is better than the two?

Look at the date of post! Opinions change.(a lot can of things can happen in a month) i can't go on looking at my previous opinions/posts and change them with my current, i don't have free time. you sure do! lol.

Well there's no such story that ended happily if it's about cloud mining but there's a tonne interesting story that makes people success when they're joining to earn bitcoin by investing for mining rigs and make their own earning through it.
I don't recommend cloud mining but I do recommend mining.

Just lock it for 2 years. :)

For 0.2 btc buy ETH and keep it. And for remaining 0.3 btc I would not suggest any other altcoin at present unless you are sure of some altcoin which have future. Rest trade with 0.3 btc and make some extra btc with it.

You might want to try 1brokerbtc.co (http://1brokerbtc.co) , they have a social trading feature where you can auto copy the trades of other profitable traders. Gives you the ability go 'hands-free' on trading, and let the experienced traders do the work for you.

https://i.imgur.com/qtz4UMY.png

You can invest it on different alternative coins. You must research about the project of the coin so that you can gain on your investment. Not doing research before investment eill just let you lose.

Interesting thank you will sign up and try it.

Before investing in any kind of investment be sure you already search the project you want to enter  and prepare for the risk of it. Good thing not to put all your money in 1 kind of investment.  I cannot suggest cloud mining site since its long time before you can get your roi and earn profit for that. You can also try trading or invest in the ICO  or invest gambling sites .

I can vouch for 1B... I use it too and it's really good for trading global markets like forex, stocks, index, commodities, all using Bitcoins only.

Recently used the social trading feature, it's cool, don't have to do much just set a maximum amount per trade and number of trades per day and let it run by itself. Just gotta find the right guy to follow, and viola, profit!

That is a good and added feature for all the users who are trying hard to get a passive income with the use of bitcoin. It provides the risk free investment and the timely response from community that have been working for us.

I will try this because I am a trader but not that PRO with this I can earn a huge earning by just doing nothing thanks for posting this site in this because it will help many people. With the experience traders many will earn a profit and I hope when I try this I will have a great income too.

Good luck to your choice and be careful in investing and only invest what you can afford to lose. Don't be greedy in some investments because some of them are just good in the first few months or years but at the end it will turned into scam and ran away with your investments. So it is better to be careful than sorry.

Depending on what kind of person you are.Things that you are interested and things that you already know.You can make a good profit with that 0.5 BTC in trading or gambling in.Just be careful on gambling.Yeah you can invest also on cloud mining but just be careful because all of them will turn to scam as time pass by so its better if youre one of the first investors.Trading will give you a clear  and less risk profit.

Don't try any investment site. It is very risky to your money. You don't know what may happen to your money. Try to keep it in your wallet, then wait until the price goes up. I think it is the best way to have a profit. Just the way I do to my bitcoin. I didn't try any investment site because I am afraid to get there. My suggestions are keeping and saving.

Right dont invest to the investment site because you cannot know what happen to your money but 99% I think your money will loss if you invest HYIP, ponzi or pyramiding. Yes holding bitcoin is one of the way to make profit. Wait the price to increase after that you can now sell your bitcoin.. You can start also trading with your capital 0.05  you can buy 5 altcoin I think and thats good also to make profit. Just keep patience only when you are in trading.

You should invest some amount in trading of altcoins and hold some bitcoins to sell them in future because the price of bitcoin is increasing and in coming days it will definitely give you a good profit. And don't try to invest your money in gambling it is full of risk and you'll loose all your investment because it totally based on your luck.

Are you some kind of prophet that can predict that Bitcoin will increase in terms of value in the coming days? Because you are giving some bold predictions about Bitcoin's future. If I were you, you need to back up your suggestions with facts in order to prove us that Bitcoin will really increase its value in the coming days. Also providing us enough information would be beneficial to all of the readers.

Continuously I am seeing recommendations to invest into altcoins, but honestly I'm not finding any future for altcoins when bitcoin finding solution for its scalability issues. Yes, investors and merchants will switch back into bitcoin surely at those times.

I'm very much confident that bitcoin will back to form like getting quicker confirmation and scaling more transactions per block, when this will be happening I'm sure altcoins could not find any future for them.

I am not a prophet and prediction means you give your opinion or assuming something  by looking on the current situation of that thing and if you visit the market and read what people say about bitcoin's future then you will also say that  price will increase in coming days. This is my prediction may be you think different from me but i said what i feel and think.

Why you don't see a good future of altcoins? what is the main reason? and i agree bitcoin is best for all time, we can blindly invest in bitcoin while in case of altcoins we have to think many times before investing and profit margin is also less but they will give a good profit.

I have been playing some on forex markets, and my broker also made a "social" function available, but that was about 3 years ago.
I remember that I have found out some really good traders which I have followed, to have an option of entering into same trades like them, but that just didn't work for me.

Obviously, I have earned from it many times, but overall I would say that copying someones trades isn't a wise idea, because after all you risk your own money, not someone.

From my perspective, you cannot rely on someone skills to make money on markets, instead you should self-educate and get knowledge to be able do the same things as your guru's.

Because altcoins are just substitute for bitcoins. Honestly I am not finding any altcoins was created for a reason how bitcoin was created. They are just highly modified versions of bitcoins.

Moreover altcoins will not find long-term survival like how bitcoin is doing. The investors and merchants too will forget about the currently using altcoins when new altcoins will be created with some new features. This happened to litecoins/dogescoins and dash too. So, in near future definitely you can expect people start forgetting about ethereum in same manner.

youre true self trading , altcoin trading is the best platform investment
but bittrex is not the best placed altcoin trading, the best altcoin trading is poloniex

I think he don't know how to analyze altcoins that is why he can not see any main reason about the altcoin..
Look at the rankings many changes of the price from before and now.. because the price of bitcoin also increase or more merchant are accepting altcoin..

to me ii think 0.5 is really a good amount of bitcoin and you can invest it in trading alt coin and from there in turn you can also get a good profit. i think. but for that you need to be a good trader because if you do not have any experience in trading then it is very risky to invest money in trading as there are more chances  that you will lose your money.

keeping in wallet and holding for a longer time is better option for any person who do not know about where and how to invest while if anyone is good in trade then they have to invest in trade and do not need to invest in any website which claim for any revenue as they may scam you.

I have no idea where do you invest you 0.5 BTC but it is a good Idea, just invest your BTC. You don't know what will happen if you cannot take the risk. maybe you lose or earn we don't know but the important of thing of investment is trust and believes.

I agree with you, Holding your btc in your wallet It is in itself a good investment. When you save a part of your weekly income, It's really great. by the way there is a lot of other domain of investement like trading or maybe gambling. I advise you to learn trading because it's a great domain and stay away from gambling It's too risky.
one other think avoid cloud mining sites. All of them are scams.

Yes it is a good a mount to start in my country with  0.5 BTC you can live for a month with that money. Trading will be better choice for them if they want to invest it.

Trading will be the best place for that 0.5 capital because it just easy to grow it since the coins or altcoins are very cheap and they are almost pumping everyday and that is a sign that you can grow your money easily with those market. With a good analyzation and patience you can turn that 0.5 into 1 bitcoin in just a week without spending a lot of time in the market.

It's not easy to trade and make profit without experience and good tips, if op doesn't have one of this two things its better for him to stay away from trading.
Investing in altcoins can be profitable if he choose right coins and if he hold them long enough.
This two options are better then cloud mining, profit is to low for the time you need to wait to collect it.
0.5 is good amount, but don't go all in. There is enough to split them in several parts and try to make something on more then one front.

Dont take investments in cloudmining sites,that will be a 80/20 gamble.80% of lossing money and 20% of Return of investment in cloudmining.Its more risky than gambling.All you can do in order to make good money in your 0.45 bitcoins is in trading altcoins or forex.

Here you can barely live for a week comfortably on that money.  The best choice is probably to drop it into a casino bankroll and see how it grows over the course of a year or so.  You could even keep adding more over time, if you put it in a variety of different bankrolls instead of just one.

I think you are so desperate to grow it in a short time. It can bring disaster. You don't need to invest in cloud mining. Just hold them and wait to increase the price. You can make much more than cloud mining.

That must be a developed country where you lives in. I think that investing into casino's bankroll only suited well for people who have so many times and not expecting too much profit.
I honestly better to find out better place of investment where it could grow the bitcoin a little bit faster rather than very small percents of bitcoin per year. Maybe, a promising altcoins project?.

Yes because make investments in cloud mining will be difficult to return of investments
because the difficulty of mining is increasing by the time,
so make investments in cloud mining is not profitable at this time buy bitcoin and hold for long time is good
for the peoples who doesn't make investments in trading.

Everything that gives you money in return is full risks so if you want to succeed in life and you really want to earn some bitcoins then you have to take risk and invest your money somewhere, it will not give you money automatically you have to invest in trading or in other business. Trading is risky but on the other hand it is also profitable.

I would like to know​, where did you get the information about hashflare cloud mining​? I don't know how many out there but this one https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1708231.0 seems promising.
I agree that just hold bitcoin is a good investment even though you need to wait a little longer than invest it but sometimes investment could ended wrong and loss. You need to double check, read how much reviews from others that already get profits through those investment.
There's no any guarantee on investment projects and you can check this thread for other options : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1607623.0

Why don't you sell them at a higher price, In my country people are making a lot of money in the buying and selling of bitcoins. A friend i know buys $1000 worth of bitcoins and when its finished he made $75 as profit and that was done within 2-3 days.

Consider investing in a tech start-up. Investing starts with 0.05BTC, which gives you 1 share in a start-up. Tech start-ups is the hottest thing for investing nowadays, of course if we don't talk about gambling/ponzis/ico etc. Check my signature to learn more about a platform where you can invest safely.

That was a big amount enough for you to invest but if it is invested in a legit site you can make it more than 1BTC. I am against on what you are thinking to invest in hashflare or cloudmining it is not worth to invest if you have no referrals because the production of it will cost a long time for you to make profit .I will suggest it to stake in your wallet and try some small amounts to learn trading as others always say trading can make you big income.

Just a suggestion , Use that amount to join dice competitions. With that kind of amount you have high chance of winning dice competition and it will really increase your bankroll. Just find a good dice competitions in games and rounds section. Goodluck

If to make $75 in several days is a kind of a profit OP can be happy with then I think this is one of the best advices here. Only to have such profit he should buy another 0.5 BTC and after that either sell it for USD when he thinks the price is high enough or buy 1 BTC again when he thinks the price is low enough. Thus even in a case of mistake he doesn't lose much, but of course no one can guarantee this activity will always be profitable. Investing in cloud mining you will lose almost for sure and investing in altcoins is as risky as gambling.

competition from does give a great gift, especially if you bet with 0.5 BTC. but, the risk would you accept also very large, maybe you will lose 0.5 BTC in less than 24 hours. My only advise to invest in a sure thing, or have a small risk, such as in trading, or altcoin. it can provide a considerable profit.

It's better you save your bitcoins rather than spending them on mining sites. Ponzi sites are not trusty and let's be straight, the return is very very slow.

bitcoin is its own investment so you don't really need to invest it.

and investing it is risky.   

there are some gambling websites where you can invest in their bankroll which is reasonably profitable and relatively low-risk, but even that is more risky than just keeping your bitcoin safe in your own wallet.   

0.5 bitcoin should be worth quite a lot in the next decade or so, so just holding on to it might be your best bet.

Yes that will be a better choice. Because if you mean by mining site as cloud mining, well you've got to be real and needs to be careful on where you are investing your bitcoin. There's a better progress and growth of your bitcoin if you are just going to hold it for a longer time unlike investing there, you can be scammed.

If you want a safe investment then you can invest in bankrolls of the casinos available online, there is a lot of casinos in the internet that you can invest and with that 0.5 you can earn decent money per year or per month, because it depends on their terms and conditions in their investment offer.

Trading is a good option only when you are good at trading and you know how to get profits from trading. If you are not known to trade, i think better is to keep the amount save in wallet and hope its value doubles in period of a year or so.

As many have likely told you already (I didn't read the thread), trading is the best option overall

But it may not be a good option for you specifically since you may not have time or inclination, or whatever, and would like to stay away from trading altogether (this is understandable). Then you could try your luck in funding. Many exchanges nowadays offer margin trading, so you can provide funds for margin traders there. This is safe, at least, as long as such an exchange doesn't get hacked or good old run away with your and other clients' money, and you can easily get 10-15% of interest annually

i've read this many times, but it's wrong what you say, if people want to invest their bitcoin it's because they want more bitcoin, if they just hold their bitcoin they can't have more, isn't this clear? investing done right is a good thing, there are decent amount of altcoin that can givr you a very high return, my last investment was atomcoin, at 600 satoshi now this coin is at 2200 satoshi, i made almost 4x my investment, plus this coin have 100% pos per year which can make your income double each year, people really need to search more in the ann there are nice coin to invest

if you are not in a hurry you can in invest in crypto-games.net casino or any other site that has this provision of investment

You can check their investment returns thread here------>https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1796062.0

Keeping bitcoins in the wallet for long-term is not a good idea, if you don't know trading better, you can invest in any well top rated website. This is a good idea no need to any work here just invest and watch the site updates day by day. You will get a nice profit. Otherwise, put some time and learn how to do trading and start trading.

Trading could be done even with less knowledge you have on it since there are bots that can be bought for it to do it for you. Like, Gunbot which is the popular one that can be use on Poloniex. It may cost a lot (0.1btc) but based from the feedbacks i saw on that bot, they have earn back their money within a week and you can ask some help with the creator regarding on how to use it.

Cloud mining site are useless if you really want to get ride off your bitcoin then choose that wrong one when you choose to learn first about trading then go there and invest your money with alternative coins to gained a huge profit someday i all started with 0.01 bitcoin with trading till i learned and then stand on my own guts.

Yes if a person do not know that how to take the start in trade then he will not be much expert and taking start with that amount will put him in risk as he will not be able to find that which coin is better to invest and which coin is not better to invest.

Yeah they are total scrap because they are total scam that are just going to make your investment as a donate type. They can even run away anytime they wish to do. And with that amount 0.5BTC that is already considered as a big one and if ever you'll fall to this type of investment and you experienced it by yourself to be scam, you are the one that will voluntarily say that just avoid this investment.

Invest in coin

But not on coins which is pumped too hard

Like recently ark is doing good but you need to know when to get out

And dont invest all 0.5 in a coin, diversify your investment so you dont rely on 1 type of coin

yes dont invest on a coin which pumped too hard. But it depends on the case, if you know that the coin is still have a big room for improvements then you may invest to it. But it is not recommended for short traders. If you are patient and a long term trader then you may do this.

For my point of view gambling with your 0.5 bitcoin would be alot profittable rather than investing in shit cloudminings and high yield investment program and alots of ponzi scheme,investing all in trading will help you but no on ponzi's

many have already suggested by the member from trading, invest altcoin or invest in casino (gambling) and if you are the type of person who does not want to do anything holding bitcoin is investment, just how do you learn about what you choose.
once again I warn couldmining unfit and many of them are scam.

People have their own decision to invest or hold but personally I will hold bitcoin rather than invest since other investment on bitcoin has a greater risk of scamming as far as my experience.
But if people still insist to invest , then let's hope that they will got that they looking for

You can avoid scams in the investment site if you do good research on background information of the investment site that you are investing. If you want to grow your bitcoin in a slow but sure process then you will invest in on the legit sites because in my opinion, it is better to grow your bitcoin from investment rather than putting it in your wallet for years that didn't even grow at least 10%.

Thus, trading is better than investing since investment programs always end up at scam and investing bitcoin  makes small amount percentage of profit. In trading such crypto coins/altcoins, you can earn upto 100% profit depends on the market movement of your coin however this is risky. If thou must avoid trading into such deangerous coins, better to trade with trusted crypto coins with small market movement.

"investment programs always end up at scam" -> there are legit investment programs, making good profit.

"trading is better than investing" -> you already made some notes:
"In trading such crypto coins/altcoins, you can earn upto 100% profit depends on the market movement of your coin however this is risky. If thou must avoid trading into such deangerous coins, better to trade with trusted crypto coins with small market movement."

You could better say: "if you're trading you can earn even more then 100% profit, but you can loose your assets too"  

------

Always do your homework before investing/trading/holding. Every thing has his profits/problems. Some have high risk, some low, but be sure you know what you're doing before you start, or start with low amounts to learn. And read - in this forum - but be sure that all of it are opinions of people (including this one), none of them is absolute.

The only thing for sure: if you see something which looks too good to be true, it probable (almost certainly) is too good to be true.

if you will play it too inside alt trading you will gain much more, all you have to do s to invest your time to look for current alts which moving and the reason behind avoiding yourself to be trap with the PND groups, after learning those things you will able to grow your coins, .5 btc can be split into multiple alts OP.

He can invest in top 10 altcoins and diversify his investments to avoid huge loss in future as 0.5 btc is a really good investment to make in altcoins and even 1 or 2 coins pumps in near future then it can give him the best returns on his investments.

You should invest 0.25 btc in different altcoins who has potential to rise in upcoming days and rest 0.25 btc simply hold in your wallet so even if your trade goes wrong you still have 0.25 btc as a back up that can be helpful to you in future and you can recover your loss by selling them when price goes higher.

Hold hold and hold don't take any risk of investing them at any place as if you invest at a wrong place then you will loose all your funds in single point as only holding can give you best profits in long term as price is expected to go higher in future.

investments in altcoins is very good, and that's the best invesment at the moment. You can find information some coins are good for investment, such as ETH, and others.
good luck :)

i would also suggest buy eth and wait for few year if you are not in hurry and if you are then you can do eth or altcoin trading trading but it need lot of patience and consume a lot time.

Hold for a year needs really solid patience and decision because we should stay in our decision to hold the ETH even in short term the price is going wild and maybe that's the last event for ETH to reach that price. Or, with that price you can split to different altcoins.

If you have enough altcoins with you, still you will change that altcoin to bitcoin to use it. I suggest try the bitcoin trading or lending services. If you are much confidence about the people who lend from you, then you do that service. If you look into completely trading. I will suggest you try the trading services in localbitcoins.com. In this site you find many true bitcoin sellers and scamming attempts are very less, when compare with the other trading sites.

Its good to divide those funds in eth and xmr and wait for the price rise as depending only on single coin to make profits can be risky and also very time consuming so its good to divide funds in multiple altcoins to get more profits.

to me i will also choose holding, as 0.5 BTC is a reasonable amount of bitcoin to hold for the price increase, and through this way one can really make good profit in a very very short period of time.

Hold has less risk than invest but ever you think to not spend your Bitcoin even single 1 satoshi ? . That's easy to say but really difficult to do, or you can diversified your money for hold and the other one for spending.

Holding bitcoin is one of the safest investment that you can do because it has a lesser risk of losing money rather than investing it in different sites that are mostly hyips or just a fake investment site that will turn to scam anytime. You just need a safe wallet and paper wallet will do and you will just hold your 0.5 bitcoin then  it you will continuously earn money.

One correction: holding will NEVER earn money. It only grows in value with respect to fiat. And because we think in BTC ( isnt't it  ;) ) 1 BTC will stay 1 BTC.

Holding bitcoin will works for long term and huge amount of bitcoin to get decent profits.
So, if you want to make an investment, the first thing you should aware is it is risky and do not invest more than you can afford to lose.
Trading altcoins provide better chance to make profit, but I suggest to watch over the coins charts and wait the lower price to buy or else buy now if you think it will rise soon. Some potential coins such as ethereum, dash and zcash may rise soon and wait for byteball drop back a bit to invest on it.
Another faster way to doubled your bitcoin is invest on gambling, whether on gambling sites as bankroll or invest on a trusted person.
You can check https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1585408.0 and https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1824282.0
Take a look and learn about them, before decide to invest, do your own task.

I think thats good idea investing bitcoin in altcoin is one of the good choice. I think also ethereum is the best altcoin and after few years I think this altcoin will bright more and become more popular. Ethereum is for longterm . You can also try altcoin the name is Dash and litecoin and monero just hold this altcoins and for sure you will earn a lot money . Patience is virtue. Just wait for sure you will become successful.

It is very difficult to do that, therefore I prefer to trade every day and take advantage of a few percent. But if we can do that and have a lot of money, it will be a success. because we can look at the record, as prices ETH at  0.008 and highest prices this year around 0.05, it did not reach 1 year time to hold.

waiting for ffew years in crypto is very risky, i know wer are talking about ETH which is the most safe altcoin, because the big marketcap it carry but still many years are dangerous even with holding bitcoin, let alone any other altcoin, in my opinion is better to invest in some altcoin that can give you a fast return like some pos coin with high return per year, or try to find what coin will be pumped next, if you follow the whales it's possible, they have IRC on which you can join

I would normally agree with you 100% but I am inclined to at least suggest something. You should check out Sports Betting, not gambling your money away your money playing dice or online poker or something foolish like that but betting on sports money line or totals. If you put bets in at small amounts like $10 in Bitcoin on each game you bet on, overall in the long run you will make money. But definitely holding is a very good idea, some think the coin will rise to $2000.

If you want to invest your 0.5btc, invest in trading bitcoin and altcoins. Your funds is a big amount so once you know the process and techniques in trading you will earn big. But, before you can earn big in trading there is a need to learn how to trade bitcoin that in the long run you will received the glory.

That big amount of investment should be invest in your wallet it will generate income already and it is much safer that invest in trading or in other investment site.
But if you want to take a risk put the half on trading and half is stay keep in your wallet and just stay away in gambling.

Having that amount of money is a big amounts but it may take too long or years to wait to see it doubled . His suggestion is good to take some amount on it and try trading thats the prerequisite of trading and all investment a RISK. Taking risk will not assure you that you will earn money as you risk it needs also to learn and have some skills for you to earn .
Gambling is also good investment if you know how to play wisely in EV+ games .

You cannot escape the market manipulation of the big whales even if you are in localbitcoins.com if a giant whale decides to pump and dump coins then you will still be affected. Trading is very tricky and so it needs skills and knowledge in any trading sites that are there online. Trading bitcoins to altcoins is fun yet risky and if you dont have the guts and skills you will not earn big and may lose big.

If i had those ammount i would split 0,10 over 5 coins, that i believe has potencial and has a good changes daily, poloniex top 20 coins would be my sugestion, but there are others altcoins as well exchanges with amazing pumps and dumps happening, where your money can raise and grow being exposed to the high risk associated to trading those coins.

You can split that 0.5 bitcoin from investment into gambling website to make more bankroll , invest from trading to trade other coins that has a good potential to rise before bitcoin decrease secondly if you aready made up profit then play gambling sometimes.

Agree if his not familiar with what his doing maybe he can lose that all bitcoin 0.5 bitcoin is huge amount to risk holding is more safer than risking from investment and playng gambling. Don't follow what other says just to what ever your gut says and trust your self stand your own make your own decision good luck mate.

Cloud mining is out of the question most are scams and the few that may not be scams are unprofitable, so don’t invest your money there, the easiest option at the moment is to put your money in casino bankrolls that way you can easily make some money out of your investment.

Invest it in trading altcoins that is the best  where you should invest your bitcoin.  Trading is the most easy to make money even you don't know it well you can do it just a small reading about trading altcoins and you can have a good strategy you will get more profit.

Yes it's also a good way losing money when you don't have a good strategy.

invest in anything as long as it is yours

I still do not get it why so many people out there are so keen to invest their bitcoins.
Bitcoin is already an asset that grows in its worth.
In the end, investing the investment will always be a very risky thing, with big chances of losing coins instead of growing them.
If you are not completely sure about what you are doing, don't let greed make you blind.

I can only suggest to invest it in an altcoin  or crypto currency coin to avoid scam. All of investments are risky yet don't go with an investment that risky to trust and risky to play. Always go only in risky to play yet not risky to trust.

0.5 btc? Its just little think. Maybe you can invest in ico some potential altcoin, of course you should see which altcoin is nice and have a bright future

Bitcoin in itself is an investment. I would not try to do anything with those bitcoins. If what you want to do is invest. Just hold it. If you still want to invest, then here many of my fellow bitcointalkers have suggested some ways. But remember whatever you do, first read and learn about it thoroughly. Nobody likes losing there bitcoin. From mining to trading, everything involves risks.

i think the  best way to do investing with bitcoins is that to keep the bitcoins as it is possible .The price of bitcoins is going higher and higher,it will reac h 2000$ very soon and what way it is to earn bitcoins rather buying bitcoins at a lower price.

Absolutely holding bitcoin is included as invest bitcoin ( invest money/fiat into bitcoin and wait until get profits from rising prices ), but in this thread OP ask where to invest his/her bitcoin as real investment. Not just a holding bitcoin and wait until the price up without do anything. Honestly in my point of view while wait the price rise, we can do something with our bitcoin to double or at least make some profits, so when the price was in high level our bitcoin more much than before.

No doubt about your opinion. We might have the price of bitcoin increase anytime. In this time the market is very bullish. Those are buying in lower rate already took an opportunity to make more profit.

Yo! We can consider it bullish for time being! But don't forget, Bitcoin can even fluctuate over $100 +/- just due to some news, rumor or speculation. Bitcoin prices are highly prone to human behavior. So if person has that much strength to sustain $50-70 or more fluctuations everyday behind his $600 investment then only he/she should go for Bitcoin investment.

I will not advise investing it in any mining whatsoever, the maintenance takes away basically all of your profits and give you little to nothing at all, Why don't you sell the bitcoins at a slightly higher rate and then buy again. I am sure you will make some profit from this, lots of people in my country are involved in this business.

Yes $50-70 fluctuations are nothing when it comes to bitcoin investment. This is actually more or less good investment strategy. Those who are able to withstand such loss or recovery formula are the successful investors. Also bitcoin is recovering so fast that it can be bought for more profits at any time. :-)

Properly invested, bitcoin can give 1000% ann and more.

can . u can but very big risk and u don't know when they run away. put money at early stage of those HYIP site.

don't put money at genesis mining,  u will not earn exactly.

If I have that amount of bitcoin I would definetly invest it in gambling sites or casino. I think...since gambling sites gain a lot of profit because many player loses in gambling I will invest it in there. Or maybe I will invest it in forex because I heared that you will make a high profit there.

Investing in casinos is probably a good idea, but it is only suitable for large amounts of capital, if you invest only 0.5 btc, you will get very low profits. Investing in forex is not simple, if you do not know anything about forex, you will lose all your money, make money from forex is possible and profit will be very high but high profits also means high risk. I have a lot of friends who invest in forex but the number of successful people is very few, this is a dangerous place, you should stay away and look for better place to invest

U can partial your 0.5 btc into trading , gambling and HYIP.

As 0.5 btc not so big, maybe u need fast money,
so HYIP, if u don't want take the risk and cant fast in fast out don't play

About trading, u can try at poloniex .

At gambling, there's so many site. The main is:
Sport bet
Dice game
Casino software based and live casino
U can try the things u best on it.

U can build your portfolio in this three parts, HYIP should be the last.

U also can invest in bankroll or project, but the money will stay sometime and not 100% win.

cloudmining and ponzi is terrible investment place, Because it likes just try to give a charity for the scammer to run away with your money.

i think if you choose to make invest in HYIP programs, you should search HYIP sites that have launch in first day because you have big opportunity to make profit and you can get your money back but its not recommended as the risk is too high. i can only give advice to do trading btc-altcoin or btc-fiat but don't use all of your btc but use only half of all your btc and see how much you can make profit from trading.

Yeah, you don't ever think to invest on cloudmining because it likes to feed up that scammer with your easy money then. Trading and invest in ico are a good way to invest your money and make sure they have an escrow to make your funds safe.

Try to invest in ICO project. Especially on the ICO that has reached its target, it makes you can have a big advantage. But it is risky take if the project scam, it will be a loss. Well, but if it works maybe you can get 0.8 btc or more.

I invest in HYIPs. Only not in high-yield, but medium. They are safer than high-yielders. Approximately 1.5 percent a day can be invested.

yeah cloud mining is little bit risky in term of investment. i think instead of than you should try HYIPS programs for good profit in which risk factor is less than that and profit margin is good enough.

Just hold your bitcoins and wait. It is investment by itself, you don't have to do anything. Or you can invest it in gambling site bankroll, ICO etc.
I don't think you will earn anything with cloud mining, it is really hard to reach ROI

All in on a special alt. I know this alt, I see this alt, I smell this alt. I bet you would like to know this alt coin? Failing that just do what everyone else seems to do. Watch them in your wallet with hopium of it reaching a dollar per satoshi. Invest in yourself. I like to buy drugs for myself that works.

It's not even small , but huge risk you would get for trying cloud mining.

Then why you even recommended to invest in HYIP both cloudmining and HYIP right now are ponzi scheme, indirectly you're destroying bitcoin's universe with recommending to scam project.

If you want is the best investment which is you can have a large earning is participate in ICO make sure to read their whitepaper for you to be inform if that ICO have a good and not impossible project, Then you should partipate in that ICO because that will be a huge earning.

For me it is yet another good investment if one will invest on a gambling site's bankroll. For starters I would recommend crypto-games since there are many big shots playing there who lose sometimes which will make you profit. Also investing in good ICO's are a good form of investment too just invest in the ones you will decide to trust though.

If you are newbie that amount is much better to intact in your bitcoin wallet younneed to learn more things in bitcoin before you invest in different method.
If you are only looking for investment much better to invest in trading that capital will gain big amount of profit.

That is not really an investment since that will mean creating a business of some sorts and then try to make it grow, you can  make money that way but in my mind investing is putting my money to work for me and if you create a business you will have to work in it until it works at least.

Trading will not be easy if he is a beginner in bitcoin and as a newbie its a too high amount to invest in trading so the best thing he can do is to gain some knowledge of trading first and select top 10 altcoins that exist since long time and he can expect certain profits from it in future but starting with a small capital is recommended.

Totally agree with you. The best strategy for using bitcoin is to just buy and hold. It is desirable several years. This can give good results and profits. And if you invest - you can lose everything

From the definition:


This means a movement of money to produce profit or production.  It is either investing in ventures or setting up a business yourself.  The aim is to produce profit or earn money.  and we all know that setting up a new business requires attention until it become successful and creates a stream of income for your so that you can expand and hire people to do the work for you.  Isn't it the same as money working for you ?

When holding bitcoins then it is a good move because you are safe from scam investment sites but it is very slow process for you to earn money while investments is a good way to have a faster profits than holding bitcoins but it will need a lot of time in research and studying about the investment so you will not lose everything.

All people will certainly say so, because it is directly related to trading transactions or prices. so if indeed they have the power to take over or do the game price then it would certainly get great returns. Because the bitcoin growing because more people are doing transactions or trading therein, so that the demand for more and more and also the limited availability of that cause the price is stable enough and continue to rise
 

If I had that amount of money I would invest it on casinos or gambling sites. Investing in gambling sites would give you a high profit. Since many gamblers are losing in every each day they get a high profit there if you invest your money to them it is not far from you to get a high profit.

Only read about the most trusted gambling websites. If you invest in the wrong casino house that will not be here let's say after one year, you will lose all of your investment. To check which casino house offers investments and which one is trusted and is online for more than 2-3 years check the gambling discussion section. You can find there everything about which casino house is trustworthy to invest your money and which is not.

Investing in any casino would be nice and profitable but it takes time to grow so you should know what investment is it, then if you have this money you can also invest in any altcoin that have potentialy to grow like in ICO that would be succesfull to launced, i see that "ESCUDO" can be succesful ICO

It really is pretty good to invest in any altcoin that have potential to grow, especially on ICO's but I would not recommend it on a newbie since doing that might make them lose their money so its better if OP will just invest on a well known gambling sites' bankroll as he/she planned since it would be relatively safer for him/her because analyzation might not be needed.

investment in casino grow like human, really need  time but the result is not obvious because it is basically gambling, not some obvious shit

0.5 btc is a really good amount to invest and if I have that amount then without thinking much I will invest it in multiple reputed altcoins and wait for the price to hike as that is the only way I can see to make good profits in long run instead of taking a risk of investing it any hyips or ponzi schemes.

Do not invest it anywhere simply hold them for future as investment is risky and you may loose all your capital at once and as we see the price of bitcoins is getting higher so if you hold them till it reaches its best price then you can make good profits by selling them at that price.

I like the way you said that if you have bitcoin you already invest it. Because in reality you already did an investment. Why? because in bitcoin your money or the price of bitcoin always change. So it will be an investment itself. But for sure investment and earning you should try signature campaign to earn more bitcoin then make it as a capital for you to start on trading then continue to work hard and make sure that you will manage it by your own not relying on bots for a better trading and for sure income.

I will invest that amount in xmr and hold it for a long term as the future of xmr seems to be very bright and promising to me and if I can manage them to hold for long term then it can give really good profits to me in future.

Investing bitcoin anywhere online is a big risk as there are not legit place to make an investment and those cloud mining and ponzi sites will surely eat away your money in long run so I will choose to keep them safe in wallet and wait for the price to rise.

You can still avoid hyip or scam sites like cloud mining sites if you have patience in doing own research and looking for some transparent information first before you invest in a site. I know that there is every risk everywhere not only online but you can minimize the risk with your knowledge from doing study of different things. Don't let your bitcoins to be idle, grow them and find some ways to grow it.

Here in my mind I have two plans for you , one is slow earning and second is fast earning .
Now here I will suggest you for the Investment in the loan at the exchange like Poloniex , buy those altcoins which have high interest and put for the loan in this way you can make safe earning without any risk .
The second suggestion for you is that buy BTM coin ( available at the Poloniex  & Nova exchage) but this altcoin atmost 30k Satoshi per coin and then sell it at 40-60k Satoshi per coin , about one to two month will take to increase the price . ( I read found this coin prediction at YouTube by a person who is really a good prediction person , his 99% prediction never goes false ) .
So if you like any of the two then don't forget to invest .

I have nothing to advise you to invest your bitcoin but to invest it in altcoins or crypto currency coins. As far as we all know, investing in an investment programs have two risk which is wethere to devalue your shares or being scammed. Unlike in altcoin/crypto currency coins, scam would be prevented and the probability of multiplying your money is higher than losing your money, it depends on the demand of you coin.

i think trading is good for you. trading is not hig risk, if you know about coin you earn regularly good profit. other you can invest revenue share site.

You can choose many options to invest your bitcoins in some decent company with a good team standing behind it, or just in some altcoin that is known wide enough to see a good market capitalization on it.

I also like to choose different ways to earn, for example you may look for jobs that you are able to do on freelancer websites. Im sure that a good coder will have a great opportunity to earn, also there are other things for which you can get payed.
For example, i can advise to look for trusted cryptocurrency casinos where you can invest in their total bankroll, to make the profit out of the people losing money on such websites.

your think is not well. I suggest you for trading. I think tradig is good for invest. if you want to trade first you follow alt coin. when you buy coin follow her low rate.

Life's short, gamble it away. :D Joking, tho I'd rather be holding them then investing, but if I had to then I wouldn't invest all, keep something just in case. Also, is investment into dice gambling site's bankroll still a good idea?

yeah trading is the best for everyone but i do not suggest that trade in altcoin because altcoin trading is much more hard and difficult so go for bitcoin trading because bitcoin trading is easy and anyone can get profit by bitcoin trading.

With that amount, I'm going to hold maybe half of it and the other half will be put into buying of alt coins.

Trading is going to be profitable all the time and there's no way that it will not be profitable.

And investing into a dice site or any casino with their bankroll is going to a good idea.

You can prefer to bitdice if you want to invest.

0.5 bitcoin is not so big amount, therefore you can risk it easily. I will tell you what I'm doing with bitcoins, first is gambling, secondary is buying altcoins. Both are risky, gambling have well know risks, buying altcoins can also turn in catastrophe, so it's better to try both way and you will see what is going better for you, if you are lucky you will harvest profit from both gambling and trading.

yes in present time i think it will not be a good decision to invest our bitcoin anywhere, we need to hold bitcoin and wait tell the price of bitcoin cross 3000 USD, as it is too much expecting that the price of bitcoin will cross 3000 USD level at the end of 2017. therefore i think by only holding your bitcoin you can get a good profit.

0.5 BTC is roughly can be invested in stores at home. When you're going to do mining, you must have a higher budget ( graphics cards are expensive these days ) not mentioning the case and other parts of the mining computer. Well I think your best shot is invest it on trading or hold your BTC and earn a much higher amount because BTC itself is a good investment.

i think 0.5 bitcoin is a good amount of bitcoin. it can easily be invested in trading alt coin and from where one can really get a good amount of profit, but the need is to choose a good potential altcoin whose price can expected to increase more and more.

Keep save BTC and buy a mining machine and keep it going till you have 10, then think abt buying a space to put more and more of them to mining btc thats what i think

Keeping that 0.5 bitcoin and waiting that price to be high and get a mining machine will take a lot of years in waiting because it is very impossible to buy mining rig with just 0.5 and if you will do that and wait for a lot of years then the bitcoin will be hard to mine and a lot of people already earn a lot of money in bitcoin so it will be late for you, it is good to invest in trading rather than mining.

yeah exactly my point of view is same with you bro. when you are investing in
bitcoin why you want to any other thing like cloud mining investment
bitcoin is most secure platform and you can get much benefit and earning from this platform to any other platform.
Other platforms are not secure according to investment point of view even you investment get lost without any benefit because they just a fake thing
So my honestly advice is that you should invest on bitcoin if you want to invest more because it is most secure platform.

The best investment is ICO phase. Right now I recommend MobileGo Crowdsale few days remaining

Just hold onto it as bitcoin. You dont need to buy into any fancy ICOs and take on needless risk. Bitcoin definitely has more potential than any of the newer altcoins, and it is safer as well.

Lessen your interest investing in cloud mining sites, they are only profitable at first ,cause almost all mining sites turned into scam after months of operating. Why not invest in some altcoins they are much profitable that cloud mining.

Try for altcoin exchanges on any exchanger sites. That is small investment so you exchange it an trade you coins when it is profit for you. I also suggest you use that money for buying and selling bitcoins at low high formula. That way you can grow your bitcoins soon. Trading on fired is not advisable the returns are really slow and also trading is very risky. You said you put some money for hashflare but mining is very risky and mini g websites can trim their backs at anytime.

Stick with your 0.5BTC - half a million in the future maybe more. That's how the rumor goes anyways... :)

Rumor is rumor, meaning it may become true or not but wouldn't it best for OP to grow his 0.5 BTC while waiting for that rumor to come true?  Just avoid cloud mining and other ponzi scheme and HYIP invetment.  You can try to invest in Casino bankroll but that has kinda higher risk.  The best thing to do is study the market for possible coin to be pumped and invest on it, and exit once you gain enough profit.

Probably a good idea to hold .3 of it. Use the .2 to buy other coins and try to flip and make money. Some good coins are ETH DOGE and maybe put some into XRP and BCN. Try to look at buy and sell orders and see the voulme per 24 hrs and detemine if it is going up or down. Try to predict when it is going down and buy when it seems level

One thing, you are not obliged to invest your bitcoins somewhere because bitcoin in itself is already an investment. The price of bitcoin is increasing a lot. Don't bother risking your money on cloud mining sites. Those are all just a scam. There are some that looks legit but they require a huge time before you can ever ROI. You'd get profit after a year, which I think is absurd because you can start earning money from different businesses after just a couple of months. The money that you'll get from cloud mining sites are ridiculously low compared to the amount of time you've waited to get them.

Good. But we need a lot of experience in order to predicts altcoins potential. If we do alts without proper knowledge, all of the money will become a waste. Nothing can substitute experience, even a trader veteran can lost a large amount of money. Being updated in the trends and news will help.


It can buy a decent mining machine but it's not just the machine, the maintenance will cost a lot and the electricity cost too. My friend is a miner and he is buying a lot of GPU, graphics card is so expensive these days, it is a good choice but you must have a large initial.

If you want to get good profit from your investment, you should spend some time and make analysis of what altcoins are promising in nearest or distant future. Then divide your sum into few stakes and invest into something. It`s risky but it worth it. In any case, prepare yourself to lost your money, at least part of them.

Maybe ico are the best way to invest his bitcoin 0.5 bitcoin is enough to split that into 3 investment this could be the bwat prt of investment that people could done in there life and yes making analysis too is good hense to avoid loosing coins in the future also profits it may risk when your not thinking at all.

For trading with 0.5 bitcoin crypto currency, a normal amount for minimal investments is sufficient. Maybe there are people who can take more from the start But I think that it will be too risky.

Just leave it be and time itself will prove to be a very reliable investment, leaving it be for a year or more will double if not triple the entire value of the bitcoins.

You can sit and wait for the profit just from holding your coins or you can act proactive and try to actively make profit. I would suggest the latter no matter the risk included. You don't have to nivest the whole available amount, try first with some smaller sum and trade altcoins. The profu you get you can invest further until you'll have the sum you are satisfied with.

Undoubtedly, holding btc is one of the great way to increase money overtime but increase will be in terms of fiats and not btc itself.
As mentioned, altcoin trading is good way to increase btc along with fiat worth too. Along with it, I came to know about another way recently known as DPOS. Under this you need to hold cryptocurrency in wallet and vote for delegates. In return you will get certain percentage of your holdings as interest. One such program is offered by Lisk.

i think 0.5 bitcoin is not really good for holding, specially for long term investment. i think that it will be more profitable if a person invest in ICO or in any other altcoin which have good potential to increase its price.  to me those people who  have invested even small amount of money they have get good profit. i personally mostly like to invest money in altcoin, from where there are more chance to make good profit.

I agree 0.5 is better to be invested in ICO and or trading.  This way OP BTC have a chance to multiply in a small period of time.  But OP must make sure that he do a good research on the ICO he is investing and avoid those that looks scam or shady.
