Bitcoin Forum

I'm looking for places to invest BTC. Are there any decent options other than casinos?

It's possible to lend BTC at Bitfinex and Poloniex, but interest rates are ridiculously low. What else is there that isn't an evident scam (like ponzi schemes)?

I don´t think lending to those websites is worth the risk of losing your bitcoin. When you lose access to your private keys, you lost control over your coins and you may lose them.

The higher the rates you find out there, the higher the risk and the chances of getting scammed. THere is no easy money =/

Any investment that promises high returns is likely a scam. You could consider trading alts but I don't recommend it unless you have trading experience or willing to do a lot of research before you start trading.

Did you check the Lending (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=65.0) section? Maybe you can also look at offering lending services here in the community, just saying.

That's a good idea, lending your money here in the forum gives you a better income as long as you will not allow yourselves to be scam because there's a lot of scammers out there. You should also study and analyze the currently operating lenders in Bitcointalk, some had already loaned out a big amount of BTC and until now they are still operating, so only implies one thing, it's profitable.

The best idea is still to invest in trusted casinos bankroll.There is also the lending section here but I think it needs time and dedication to climb your way through there because there are a lot of reputable lenders who are trusted by the community. Nevertheless do not feel discouraged, every one has his own chances to be successful , just remember in order to not get scammed always ask for collateral.

Why not just start your own lending business here in the forum? The risk is there but it's on how you handle the business and how you choose the borrowers.

You have an option as they said with trading by investing to those altcoins that will give you dividends/returns or PoS type coins but that's probably not the kind of interest that you want to receive and it requires a span of time before receiving the reward.

hmm well these are the popular bitcoin investments , and as people here suggested you can consider lending here in the forums but I really doubt there is still room for this since there are many trusted members who already doing it

if you have access to fiat bookies then you can try investing in horse racing tipsters , the reason I focus on horse racing is because good tipsters have really crazy ROI
I haven't found any successful tipster that has ROI below 10% so there are crazy returns
it's not bitcoin investment but with some popular ewallets you can keep withdrawing profits from fiat to bitcoin

Having tried lending I'd pretty much say it's far from worth it for other than the established members already doing it. Besides, if you were doing, it the only option would be collateral loans which most likely means you won't be getting so much applications.

- Lending is not a wise investment, it never was except if you are a well-established lender on bitcointalk.
- You can trade and stuff but that would be such a cliche reply.
- Invest in a project or a product. There are many new projects which look out for investments. You could be a bitcoin venture capitalist.
- Invest in the coin itself if you know what I mean.

Yes you are Four Points will be very useful for me in the given above points investing a project and getting the income will be more convenient for me and I think it will be the workable one more than gambling online Casino.

If you really want to put money into gambling industry try looking for startups. Maybe in some sites that focus on esports on some new startup rpg games that will use cryptocurrencies as game money?
If you don't care and just want to make money I'd be really looking into coins that are at 80% discount now ilke BTC, ETH, ADA, even LTC will go up when it goes through halving.

To be honest, casino bankrolls are probably the best places to invest. Like others said, lending is out of the idea, because low rates.
I think a guy named SyGambler on the forum pays a tipper and he does really well with his bitcoin, otherwise he just invest his bankroll on 10x leverage on YoloDice, ( from what I can remember. )

I think learning how to trade will be good for you, if you don't really want to invest into a casino's bankroll but trading is fairly hard even harder in the bear market.
You can also just look into some other coins like @pixie85 said, and just invest into them when they are on "discount".
What I like to do is find news or info about the coin or see if there is anything coming up ( If it's positive then I'll just buy it, if it's FUD then I won't buy it. )

The most obvious answer is not the simplest because it would be in the infrastructure of Bitcoin.    Some people are saying to setup lightning network nodes while the price is down like this, the idea being it would earn revenue later ?      Theres probably a few things like that but its obviously a risk to invest not just a simple return like OP might be looking for.    It probably counts as a bank roll by Freebitco gives 4% return I think

Poloniex is the most secure place I know and bitbond. However there are many of them been advertise online and one has to becarefull not to invest into scam projects or scam ponzi scheme.

Lending may not bring much return to you as compared to casino as you rightly mentioned above. The rate of interest in lending section of those exchange you mentioned are seriously ridiculous and I will advise if you are making good return from activities in casino why looking somewhere else for good return.

The higher the rates you find out there, the higher the risk and the chances of getting scammed. THere is no easy money =/

Yeah truly correct their are nothing can get easy money inveting of any kind of investment schemes can't avoid risk because of possible to become scamms it's better to get low interest than to become a victim of scam.

Lending on the sites you mentioned are already a good idea to earn some profits  .yes they are low because they are hundred percent legit .

 others that promise high return are purely bs and scam  so dont ever try them  , except  if the site is running for a verry long time and they are popular or reputable enough  .  

Investing on gambling site like bitvest is also a good idea if ever you got bored of playing the actual gambling game  .

That's true, there's no real easy money but if you investigate deeper and you are aiming only for passive income lending to that particular sites can bring some 2.5% interest /month, not sure if I remember it right, you only need to make sure to fully understand the risk and make sure to protect your private keys making it sure that you will keep the access to your accounts.

It's better to have small gains than taking bigger risk to have a much decent profits, keep searching and assess deeper before investing your money.

You can start trading by your own on the sites you were mentioned but for me investing on the casino's bankroll is more secired and also will give promised stable income than any other crypto investments.

Not exactly a bitcoin investment, but you can always invest in coins that offer POS rewards.
Whether it's actually profitable to so so is a bit of a gamble, as you don't know whether the fiat price of those coins will rise or drop after a year.

You can check out possible ROI on these websites:
https://www.poslist.org/
https://stakingrewards.com/

Whatever you do, stay away from Bitcoin investments that offer you high ROI.
Cloudmining is usually just a cover for ponzi's and if they are real, the chance of getting a profit is very very small.

I agree here, lending might seem like a good idea at first(And it is well developed and with the right people who is hard to find) but then you realize the amount of scams make it a lot less appealing. Since you are giving out your money based on trust only.

That is not only truth for the crypto world but you see it more often here. Today contracts that you enforce are a necessity with most people, if you find someone really trustable to do business with stick to that person really tight.

I personally like freebitco.in, since they offer you 4% profits a year and you get the fixed daily percentage at random times per day. Also the website on my signature space gives you a percent of the deposits your referrals make if you want to do that.

I think other than casino gambling investment we can do a lot of things for our investment but what is my opinion is the profitable amount is very low when compared to job this will be my opinion forgetting up with gambling always.

I used several masternode coins to compensate during this bear market. Some coins like ABS or VIVID have a really good ROI so I have made quite a bit of profit on them.

Overally there is 3 option: mining, trading, lending.
Currently first one is dead, second one for me is still gambling. So let's think about third one. Here profit absolutely depends on your choises, whom to lend and how much. If you want some statistics, see thread of zazarb, he has great and easy list of how much has he landed, which was paid and etc. Consider that sometimes trustworthy people turn into liars too.

Trading remains one of the most profitable in this current market. You need lots of learning and experience to be good at it.

It can be very rewarding and risky as well. Exchange (especially the centralized ones) could be hacked and you lose your coin. The safest thing to do it just better trade what you can afford lose

Sometimes lending will also ends in huge losses and nowadays having collateral is problem since DT members tagging them as account sellers so making enough reputation to lend money without any collateral is not a small matter now so nothing is easy.

The horse trading investment thing sounds cool. Can you recommend a link?  How easily can one open account with them?

As regards to OP question, cryptocurrency trading could earn him reasonable amount of money per month. I believe  with the required knowledge, experience and dedication he can double his investment every month with trading.

Collaterals are not always forum account so what is the connection with being account sellers? Lending could bring lots of profit if you make good decisions on whom to lend, usually it is 10% profit in just a week time

There's no such safe lendings if there's no third party involved to keep the transactions checked. Trading is one way to invest your bitcoin and you'll get scammed or ponzi scheme setup unless you trade on a reputable and legit site. It depends on you OP if you decide to tradebor lending.

Just think bitcoin as a curreny now you can find lot of ideas how to invest your money wisely but sadly lot of places not accepting bitcoin as direct payment option so you can start trading with it for fiat and then use your money somewhere or just do crypto trading or as you said invest on the casino bankrolls or just create some crypto related site like trading platform.

Lending is not a good idea to invest Bitcoin and majority of the investment sites are probably hype/ ponzi schemes. If you are looking to make money from BTC, I would suggest trading. Obviously there are risk involved in trading but, you have control over your money. Stick to top coins if you don't want to take much risk and don't fall for dump and pump groups.

If you like, you can visit the poker tournaments. Watch the games and find the regulars. Then, get to know these guys. Perhaps it can even start at the small tables or online, even you can find the freerollers.

Then,,, look for those asking for people to stake them, and then, stake them that money to join the poker tournament. It is a form of investment and if they win they can split the agreed share with you. If they run, they lose their reputation, so they will prefer to pay you.

Trading is good but it's not investing by nature, you only called that investing because you are investing on your capability to generate profit through trading. Not everyone has the skills in trading, hence some would loss and it's better for them to hold longer than trade actively.

The fact that OP is looking for investment opportunity such as casino, that means he like to trust his money to other people to generate profit for him.

Yes, and if I should choose, I will select staking coin than Bitcoin investments because I know it's impossible to get ROI in the Bitcoin investment. Besides that, we only give our bitcoin to them without having a chance to get a profit. And if you use staking coin, then you can expect to make a profit in some periods, but it will depend on the staking website itself. If they can protect their site from the hacker, then the member can make the profit.

Why invest your bitcoin in other investment company where you can hold it on your own hands ?  That is still consider as an investment but with lesser to no risk at all depending on your decsion making  .  i heard about pos/staking but i still do not trust them compare to bitcoins    .   investing in casino bankrolls are also a good alternative option as long as you choose a legit site .

As clearly stated by you, it is not everyone that has the skill which I agree with you, let me ask you one question, in as much as you are trained in a particular field, do you have all the skills to run a big successful organization ? My answer to that is a big NO.

You need technocrats in that field to join you in running the organization while the organization is still totally being controlled by  you, the way is actually to trade with it and that is why we have lots of professional trader that can trade with his money while they share the profit without him getting himself involved in the trading, the most important thing is to get a qualified one.

The best way to still invest BTC is to invest part of it in other smaller altcoins with viable projects; those small altcoins when they rise will definitely give you far more that what you invested and for Bitfinex and poloniex lending, you can still commit part of it even if the interest is low but it will still have its own effect on the profit you aspire to achieve with the set investment amount, no money is too little when it comes to target just don’t invest everything, just share it round on other projects too. 

Lastly, trade with it or give it to professional crypto traders, the interest is far more than lending.

It's a good passive income investing with staking coins, you just need to make a proper review and research deeper, there's a lots of project that shares revenue by storing the coins inside your wallets, it's a good alternatives if you don't want to invest your money with casino bankrolls, they have similar
outcome as passive earnings,.

OP wants to invest his money through gambling and trading is different from investment in casinos.

And probably wants someone to make a profit from him or someone have to do the hard work for him.

And when you say trading you have to buy and sell something from them in such short or long amount of time.

If you feel like taking a big risk you can always put your coins on Bitmex and go long or short with very high leverage.  Its a good way to make fast money but its also a good way to lose everything. :(

Do not limit yourself in the gambling industry as bank rolls are the only thing you can invest on except for a few gambling casinos who have their own Altcoins that pays dividends. The cryptocurrency market is another way to earn money but "investing" is not the right word for it as you will be trading which compared to investing gives you a more active role to look at your money. But if you would like to invest then the only way is to hodl and sit it out for what cryptocurrencies you will be buying and hope that your position will grow in the upcoming bull run.

The OP was advised to learn trading directly because he is not satisfied with the little returns he can get from the trusted places he can invest his BTC and his on the lookout for other alternatives for higher returns. Now from your example, what if he is not willing to accept the share the technocrat has to offer ? He would be left with no option than to learn.

Anyone who is really so determined to succeed should be willing to pay the price for success, same as anyone who is so much in need to get higher return on investment, must  be willing to learn all that’s required.

Many at time we fall in victims of scams because we want investment s that promises high returns and many end up being Ponzi schemes that may likely fail. Well, Bitifinex or poloniex wouldn’t have been a bad idea but you are already are already having issues with the low returns.

My advice is for you to trade with your money, you can learn it and soon you start making money, I would have also suggested mining but its hasn’t been much profitable of late and if you are not cool with this then just stick with poloniex. It is better to get low returns than to lose  all to Ponzi scheme

Bitmex  is just like gambling and your one wrong decision can make your account zero. This is same like gambling where you predict the movement of the coins and get reward for your speculation. If you do not have extra money, i would suggest to avoid leverage trading as it can make your money zero within no time.

At least it's not purely based on luck unlike in gambling.

This requires skills and if you are good in predicting the price, you will love Bitmex trading platform.

I am a gambler and a trader as well, but I don't gamble on times like this because it's so bearish, it's easier to be profitable in bull season so I would wait.
While waiting, I also have to enjoy sometimes and that's why I am gambling but this is just for entertainment only.

You may try to invest it in a masternode or just simply hold other altcoins. I don't recommend you to invest in return on investment program since most of them don't have a really purpose but to scam people by making them believe that it really pays.

Buying some major altcoins and holding them until the expected price is reached is much traditional mean of investment but going for something which can give profits in minimum time interval with low risks would a great research. Year ago, a project named bitconnect was introduced which offered really impressive interest rates daily but ended up being scam and investors there had nothing but useless tokens at the end of the time.

Always double check the investments you are going to put into.

Its still fresh into my memory with that Bitconnect scam where i do always keep telling that this shitty coin would really turn out the be a scam sooner and later.
and that thing do really happen which it cause really huge loss with those investors who do put up big time.They are being blinded with that interest rates without
even realizing that the whole concept or system isnt really sustainable for long term.If OP doesnt like to have less risky and small profits then better to opt in on just
simply holding up btc and other top alts.

There are a lot of other options where you can lend you bitcoins if you want to have profits with low risk. You can also go for POS mining where you can get daily dividends for storing your funds onto the wallet. Casinos are also a good option to invest into but the profits there would entirely depend upon the strategy you are using.

The more risk you will take, the more will be the profits and vice versa no risk will tend to less or no profits. Be aware about ponzi schemes as there are a lot in the markets.

Following or investing into a coin base on hype usually leads to destruction.

With the statement made by the OP he was not interested in crypto currency investment he was actually looking for a company or service which he can render and later make profit through it. However, the best crypto investment we have this days are the bankroll and the lending service and since the OP dont like the services of Bitfinex and Poloniex he can make use of the forum lending service

That is a very dangerous step for me, because this world does not have people who are very honest in terms of profits or money, so be careful with every offer they give because this is the first step before you finish everything you have , You should be able to see in some cases that are currently prevalent and similar to what you want, so try to think again by analyzing them to convince them.

Actually, there are so many exchanges in which you can invest your BTC. There are big exchanges like hitbtc, poloniex, bittrex and binance. It's a lot of fun also in trading just like gambling.

Any new options?

-Gambling site , buy some stakes
-News ICO's
-Lending is an option but it always comes with a risk
-Trade your Bitcoins yourself , don't go for a professional trader , there are companies which provide you with a everyday guidance regarding the trading , you pay your own personal assistant , but at the end you can try doing that for a short while and then get on your feet
-HODL
-Try making small bets in games you are good at.

A quote from poloniex::

Small interest rates are something that you have to consider at the end of the day, since, most sites promising ridiculous interest rates are scams ... If it's too good to be true , it's most likely a scam.

Best of luck.

If you are ready for the risk, I recommend investing in Binance futures. Can make big profits, with a leverage of 125x the margin offer.
But if you don't careful all your capital can run out, I prefer to invest in casino bankrolls. Even though the interest rates offered are
very low, at least it is very safe to do so.

Other than casinos we've got lot and lot many other ways to invest bitcoin. Very few casinos provide pathway to invest, and these investments assure of profiting rather than spending on gambling. From my understanding investment is always risk associated, but to the risk we won't be benefited in most cases. Good is to go with trading or on long term hodl of top cryptocurrencies in the market.

Since you posted this here in gambling discussion, I assume that you are interested with investing in gambling industry. However, I suggest that you do not limit yourself to gambling industry alone. Especially that every investment is a risk being taken so you must do your full research and compare different industries, organizations and dividend distribution systems. Remember to just invest what you can afford to lose!

Invest your money once you are ready to take or handle the risk, both ways risk are present so better

to review analyze everything first before deciding your assessments.

Investing to casino bankroll has been shared you can assess if you are willing to take the risk or take the otherside
doing trading and take your chances.

It's funny that he asked this question in gambling section! Invest what you can afford to lose in the first rule of investing, and except casino bankroll (where you can be positive and negative) there are casinos with their own tokens you can stake and you collect dividends every day (you can't go negative, you can just have lower payouts for your staking tokens).
On other side there are staking coins, lending options *in many exchanges), defi projects...each of them will create some passive income if you invest in them.

First of all you should know that investing is not always profitable and there's a high risk that you would lose money. Aside from investing to bankroll of a casino you can invest to other upcoming or ongoing projects that you think have a potential, you can also invest on buying equipment for mining a certain coin that might be profitable in the future or you can invest to masternodes or staking.

Investing in upcoming or ongoing projects will not always give you the profit because you need to find the right project, which will difficult to get it now. We see that many projects scam many people, making them afraid to invest in the project. You can invest in the casino, but as always, you need to manage the money that you will use to invest because you can get a loss at any time. Staking can be a solution to make a profit, but you should wait for a long time before you can make a big reward.

I agree but even in staking there is no guarantee for it and there's a risk as well an example you've invested on staking and wait for a bit of time and the project fail or the coin drops. To conclude this taking a risk and trusting your guts would be the key in earning.

Mining just might be riskier because not sure if those coins will grow in future or not and then first you have to invest for mining equipment, then if you do not want than must sell them for cheap. So, you end up making loss here. So better to invest in some coins directly as bitcoin is on run so one can easily make some profits without much efforts as well. It becomes risky if market falls, so be carefully for this as well.

    Every investment is a risk, we all know that. But we can't make profit without risking some money, it's why we see
so many signs about risk what you can afford to lose. And to some people it's better to risk with investing in mining,
while others think it's better to invest in new projects.
   When you have a doubt in what's better, split your money and invest in both. After some time you will see what's better
for yourself. Investing in different things has advantages, you are always sure that if something goes wrong with one investment
you will have other.

Mining needs huge profits but remember you are buying this for that money so you can sell the equipments whenever you want when you feel it is not worthy to mine that is the advantage of mining but for someone who have less capital should go for other kind of earning methods which are not going to be passive for sure because we need to huge capital to make decent from passive investments.

When we do talk about mining then its not for everyone yet we know on how much capital needed for this one and profitability question then it all varies on the electricity cost into your place or simply
means that you do consider lots of factors before you do jump into this kind of investment and we know that it is already past halving which means block rewards had been cut in half - so profitability
becomes more unprofitable. Other way of investment that others saying is Staking or masternodes? I never considered this one. Casino bankrolls is considerable but dont
expect that much when it comes to profits because it isnt really that big on where most people do expect.

Staking or buying a masternode is only profitable if you get lucky with the coin. And that means, the coin should have at least practical application in the market, so it will have good value when you sell it. Because if you are staking or owner of a MN of a crap coin, I don't think that will be profitable. Most MN coins are pump and dump. So need to look out for that. Also, mining is a good one also if in case you are not paying your electricity like you have solar panels and all. It will require a bit amount of initial investments, but worth it because you will have free electricity afterwards.

In staking, you can earn the rewards if you can hold it for a long time. For example, if you stake dash, you will get the reward, which can give you more dash. But I don't stake dash because it is too expensive to start. Maybe the other coins can be a good option. But no matter what we do, whether it's staking or investing, we will have a risk. But maybe you can invest your bitcoin in the exchange as a loan to the trader but not use it for investing in the casino.

I tried this. There is one site where they are also staking some coins base on their coins that you are holding. They are Staking EOS, TRX, IOST and other more. I would say that it is good since you are earning without doing anything like literally nothing :D.

Not recommended since there are many scams happening already but if you are a risk-taker then you can try it :D. Not recommended for those investors who are very emotional when they get scammed.

I tried this. Gather some profits too but when one borrower defaulted his loan, all of my profits are gone. Still recommended though but beware of the borrowers.

Best recommended way :D Longer time = longer profit = lesser risk.

Overall, what @fiulpro said will help you OP in earning more BTC but still all of them has risks so manage your risks and don't invest into something you don't know :D Good Luck :).

HODLING coins, trading and stocks are your best shots if you are looking for a reliable investment. But there are still a ton of option that you can discover by yourself like business or something more. Consider each choices people here gave you and pick one that you have knowledge about and one that you will enjoy and that will make your investment worth and good.

If you want to invest your BTC safely then buying a top currencies and stored it for a long term one is the best option for you
aside from that you can also invest to new project like IEO and etc. but the risk is pretty high so you need to be wise if you want
to try it.

And lastly, trading is the best option to easily multiply your BTC but of course you need a solid understanding about trading before you can
profit from it. Whatever your choices are, be minded that you should be patient all the time and don't be greedy.

I will say mining bitcoin is only profitable for mining farms or huge scale individual miners so never try to mine bitcoin when you are begin with because electricity cost will be more than your actual profits made in that year.Staking could be better but staking on wallets will be the right option other than staking on an exchange where probably hacks happen at any time.

I agree on this also since we cannot really earn a good profits with this if we just have a small rigs on our homes, maybe we should forget this option since there are more valuable which can make us earn and get a less hassle since maintaining a rigs is so hassle.

There are gambling sites around here who offers a investment option to the users and might they are good to try.

I will not mention them since I don't want to be blame if something happen research at your own risk if people really want to go on this option.

What kills most investors are quick money schemes, the option of lending btc to those exchange listed above is a good one despite the fact that the return is low, but it's a 100% that your money would be returned back as soon as possible without been scammed.
The trading option would have been better but can't push you to that because trading needs experience and expert, so that would ruin your Money.

Very few exchanges provide support for lending. Earlier Poloniex opted with its trusted service. Lending is always risk associated, and more legal procedures to be followed. This is why exchanges don't support investment/lending. Trading is better in all prospects, but it requires good learning about the market fluctuation. Only then one can make predictions that coincide with the real market changes.

You are right, trading is a good place if you have time and good discipline, it can bring decent amount of profits.
depends from your attitude towards this investment, you can earn a lots if you have the right skills and you are
really keen in learning more about this business.

You can get more profit from trading then by simply investing in a casino bankroll. But at the same time you need to have the skill of trading because without the skill you will lose your amount and soon will be empty handed. So don't greed and trade only if you are confident enough.

A good thought I could share with the you peeps is that you still need to trust and invest on a casinos bankroll. You can also navigate to the lending section of bitcointalk and at that point you need to dedicate a portion of your time and effort to find a reputable lender that can be trusted and take note, is already being trusted by the bitcointalk community. Do not feel down if you are having difficulty. A bit of patience and effort you will become successful, and always be wary of the "to good to be true" offers out there. Many scammers are abound the forum also so be always careful.

In lending the big risk exist as you are unsure by when and will you get back the principal back or not. As quite a few times you might end up getting scammed and this is the biggest risk. So instead investing in casinos roll in the well-known site is better though the profits will depend upon if people lose while playing the games.

There are many thing that must be done carefully when it comes to money. Bankroll is nothing scary if it belong to a well-known and trusted site. Many investor choose to invest in a bankroll because they know there are benefit.

The best advice to you is, if you have a number of bitcoin that can afford one gambling site, try to become the founder of that site and start competing with the other. Your money, your site, your bankroll and you will get the support you deserve if the site you are developing has a good reputation and trust from user. Sound difficult, but I am sure it will be easy if it involves 2-3 experienced people.

You can try to lending to Poloniex. I think that it is safe for you because you don't have to worry about getting a scam. Lending in Poloniex is work for you because the money will be lent to the trader, so they can get more money to trade. But the rate will follow where the bitcoin market goes, but it's worth trying if you want. That is for people who don't want to invest in the casino.

I had recently invested some Litecoin at Bitvest.io as a test.
Over a period of about one month and an investment of about 0.6 LTC, I've made about 0.05 LTC profit.
Which equals in percentage terms a plus of approx. 8.33%.
Apart from that, the site exists for several years and has a great reputation here in the forum...

Otherwise, I agree with the general opinion... not your private key ➡ not your coins!

This is expressly NOT an investment recommendation from me to you.
For information purposes only!
You make your own decision...

As many suggested lending is a good option if you don't want to invest in casinos. There's a lending section here, however,  lending is a risky business since you cannot guarantee if you will get your money in a specified time or not. Any investment requires risk, and it depends on you if you are willing to take the risk or not. Never trust investments that promise high ROI, no one is crazy enough to give a huge amount of returns in such a small period of time. Consider all the opinions you had here, but remember to take it with caution since it is your money, and you are the one taking the risk.

I will try not to quote OP as this post is quite too old from january 2019, but I guess the context is still good to talk about,

If you are avoiding ponzi scams, your option for good profit is trading platforms and gambling casino. That is, if you will only invest cryptocurrency. But comparing the two, Trading platforms and Casino, I rather suggest that you invest in casinos since it will require you less time and effort to grow your money because there's surely a source of fund from gamblers. But in trading, you need to spend time to study and watch the market. Both are profitable and will reduce your risk to invest in a ponzi scam.

Investing in the casino bankrolls are good in a way because for people who do not have time and can’t investigate it, it acta as a passive income. Where occasionally you can just monitor and see how it is going. Also, if invested in the trusted ones so not much tension as well of losing money. For trading if people do have time and skill to trade then it is also a good option.

Erase the passive thing in investing on casino bankroll since there's no something like that and even if you go with the house still it has a chance to lose and your investment will go negative. So better come to real situation and accept the risk if you want to go on this option, you cannot earn a big thing here but atleast you can get a portion rather than choosing to store it on your wallet.

While losing a portion of your investment is possible it doesn't happen very often unless the casino have an aggressive bankroll management like the max profit is 10% of the actual bankroll for example. Or if you invest in the wrong time and pull out your investments too early it happened in one of my investments but it was only a very small loss like 0.1%.

Correct. That passive thing mindset will just lead to expectations.

And besides, investing in a gambling site's bankroll requires a higher capital to see the changes. For example, a BTC1 is already a decent amount but in the long-run, we might see only low gains even we count for a year.

The good thing about this investing part is, the money isn't sleeping and who knows the outcome will be good and worth the wait. Just choose a reputable site as it's like storing our money without our control.

There are so many Bitcoin investment offers right now, but unfortunately most of them is scams. There are only a few
that are profitable and legit. If you don't want to invest in a casino bankroll, another option is to trade or staking on
exchanges. But choose popular and reliable exchanges, because choosing the wrong exchanges can result in us losing
the capital we have.

I've just move a large portion of my BTC in casino bankroll to my binance account. I was getting an average of 14% per year on my bitcoin investment but realized I could easily make that amount with passive trading and arguably with lesser risks. There still remains the risk of the exchange going a scam but binance has became so large that it going a scam would be unimaginable thing at the moment.
