Bitcoin Forum

I have some bitcoins with Coinlenders which I'll be taking out as soon as my CD matures in about a month.  It'll be about 4.9 bitcoins, and I'm looking for another place to invest them.  Anyone have any suggestions?

ActiveMining shares.

As you can research, ActM is at the moment the only company that seems legit, and has known CEO.

Buy some shares here while they are cheap:

thank me later.

Buy and hold.

That's definitely part of my plan too.  I just thought I'd see what's out there and see if there's something else that's worth investing in besides just bitcoin itself.

Neo and Bee is IPOing next week (see the thread in this forum) and it looks very interesting.

I will be investing at least a little bit.

There's nothing that looks like a safe bet.  Everything right now is a gamble, even granddaddy AsicMiner.

This, you will minimize your risk in this fashion.

If you want to invest, make sure to set aside some time to weigh up the risks. Do not blindly listen to others suggestions. Avoid documented scams such as Labcoin

If you are risk averse why don't you leave your coins in one of the many bitcoin bonds: ukyo.loan, graet.loan, xbond, etc.

They are about as safe as you can get (safer than coinlenders).

 Buy BFL products , that seems like a safe bet as in' you will most definetly lose money' , I do guarentee you will not make your money back if you invest now.

sorry, where is information on these? are these on bitfunder?
links please.... ty


[edit] ..... found great.loan and ukyo.loan. where is xbond?

Thank you - this is by far the most promising investment I've seen on here.  Not sure if I'll invest the full amount on there, but I'm seriously considering buying some, assuming it doesn't get insanely expensive by the time I'm out of Coinlenders.


Definitely something to consider.  As far as risk averse - well, if I was totally risk averse, I wouldn't be in bitcoin since it's inherently risky, or at most I'd just buy the currency itself and wait for it to appreciate.

Oh, if only BFL was a stock and there was way to short it.  You'd be able to make a fortune. 

 ahahah if bfl had a stock , I would buy (I am not sure what its called but there was something like call option but it was short , so you kinda leverage the idea of bfl stock will drop) that :D

 I assume the stock will start at 50€ or something and go down less than a penny a share.

A put option.

 Yes that , If I had any possible way of putting a put option on bfl stocks at the time it was popular and everyone was getting one , I would sell every asset I had and invested in a put option , now I would be a very rich guy :D

At the time BFL was popular and put options on their hypothetical stock would have been cheap, you wouldn't have known to buy them.

Once BFL became universally reviled the price of the (again - hypothetical) put options would have skyrocketed, and you'd hardly get rich off of them.

The thing about establishing short positions via options is that you have to do it before the crowd even catches on to the possibility things might go wrong.

"When you’re one step ahead of the crowd you’re a genius. When you’re two steps ahead, you’re a crackpot."

You may remember me as the crackpot buying put options on AM when it was above 4 BTC a share. Here's my current crackpot thinking - don't buy ANY mining stocks. Not a single one. Not AM, not ActM, not Labcoin.

Oh, yeah - LetsDice is a scam. That's not an opinion, it is a fact.

That's how it is with investing.  It's always easier to see this sort of thing in retrospect.  I'm still kicking myself for not buying Google's stock when it went IPO at $80.  It's only gone up by a factor of ten since then.  My reaction at the time was obviously way off, "Seems overpriced."  Oops. 

 I knew bfl was a scam waaaaaay back when it was popular , the second I saw a 500 gh/s I said this wont work anytime soon and even if it does people will hate the delays. Like the second I saw it man :D

 I would definetly get rich via put options , I would definetly invest AT LEAST all bitcoins I had at the time to a put option agains bfl.

 edit: and I saw the bfl (hence my second of seeing it) wasnt recently , it was like maybe 6-7 months ago , a little earlier than the 266 bubble , so I dont know if bfl was already hated during february or not :D

I actually would have bought in but my reaction at the time was "Fuck me, I'm a highschool student with no money"

Xbond is on https://www.havelockinvestments.com

It's great because it is exchangeable for pre-IPO shares. That's why it's a little more expensive than the other bonds.

You had better instincts than I did then, at least.  Oh well, I managed to at least buy a few shares of Tesla back when it was $30 earlier this year, so at least I'm not calling them all wrong.  I'd have bought way more than three shares had I known that it was go up by a factor of five in less than a year.  It seemed like a good investment, but I didn't know it was THAT good an investment.

You bought 3 shares of a $30 stock?

You are getting assraped on broker commissions.

Alas, you're quite right about this.  Thankfully, it went up enough that as long as it doesn't plummet before I end up selling, it'll more than make up for the ridiculous commissions.

You can purchase it  from https://www.havelockinvestments.com/order.php?symbol=CBTC   ;)

ACTM is a good choice now.

well...

Yes, all six of them.

Biggest eye roll ever  ::)

bASIC Mining since this seems like your first investment.

I'm fairly experienced in the traditional investing world, but not as much with bitcoin investments.  It'll be my first outside of Coinlenders, yes.
