Hi all!!
After years of mining and trading, now I own about 550 BTC. What's the best way to invest this sum?
What would you do with it?

Thanks!!

That is quite a sum of BTC you have managed to acquire! I personally would think of ways that you know you can make a solid investment in that you know is guaranteed to get you a profit. Investing in businesses, buying properties and renting them out there are many ways you could choose to help you invest and gain a profit :)

Good luck on your investment whatever you choose to do!

Sounds strange that you have a newbie account and own 550 btc... but all can happen :)

You can invest in real estate, maybe do some renting too, you get about 1% of your house value every month, so about 10% profit in one year.

I would buy a house, rent it out and wait one year and sell it for a big profit.

Show us a wallet address and a signed message first! ;D

Firstly, I'd avoid announcing to anyone in the future that you have this sum of BTC. Don't want any targets on your back.

If it were me, I'd keep a good deal in cold storage and continue trading to hedge. I don't feel the BTC-denominated investment scene is very, ummm, reliable....

Hold and sell half your position when it hit $5000.

And use the cash to buy a nice house and rent it out if the rental yield is higher than 8%.

The best way for you? I dont know. I know nothing about you, your preferences, your tolerance for risk or your circumstances of life.


Cashout half to pre-finance a house (I assume I got it legally and taxes are paid) keep doing what I did to get 550 BTC with the rest, probably diversify more.

Sounds stranger that he's spent years mining and trading to get this sum, but is still asking us for altcoin investment advice. :P

Truth.

OP, you need to somehow show that you actually have 550 btc. Flash it on an exchange or something. If you really are serious about investing your btc, I could offer you some advice. PM me if you are interested.

Send them to the address below  ;D, and it'll spit back double the amount:

15ycwpLZ3fPrSnTRA8xBCQoHFxHZ6HfzKX

A problem that I suspect many of us would love to have
All the best ;)

If it was for real, you already knew what to do with that huge amount.

Funny, you are.

These fake threads titled "I have 500,000$ to invest" "I have 1000BTC to invest" bla bla bla are not funny anymore.

I would give all away to whoever want to have it..... :-\

I suggest you buy 550 BTC with that and wait for a higher price.

Don't invest your coins in something which could make you lose them all, hold and hope that the next bubble will be near.

Congratulations dude

buy a new car + new house

sent them to me

will sent you 550 units Karma in exchange ;)

Invest in dank of course!  ;D ;D

in my view btc is the ultimate investment. 2014 performance is kinda depressing but the year is not over yet.

hodl.

You own a shitload of money and you are so naive on investments things.I suggest you invest in some real shit.I believe that sum could help you establish any good profit making business either online or in the offline world.

I agree in a sense.

Eventually, there will be a cryptocurrency developed that's marginally better than Bitcoin due to some advantage. Sure, the features could be added to BTC later too, but the Bitcoin devs would be playing catchup then.

But I see 2015 as a very bright year for Bitcoin still.

Hey, man, he's going to change the world with his guitar skills.

lol he only has 2 post and both the same but in different language, he wants to tell everyone, if its true thats nuts.

waw if I had that much, I do not dare to invest. might be better made ​​in money, and investing in the real world :)

I probably would not invest that much btc, imagine if it's not exposed to the scammer lost: D

You could always look into the PAMM accounts at BTC-e. some of them are making a nice return on investment.

Check it out, if your looking for a passive investment income.

That's a lot of money, It could be even enough to retire, if you would buy just food and to pay all taxes... And all investments are risky... I would suggest just keep them.

You should invest in protecting your 550 btc and hold onto it until the next halving happens.

I'd drop 25 BTC into low volume anonymous alt coins and convert 2-5% to fiat at each tidal rise just to cover your non-digital operating costs.

2015 is going to be an epic year for BTC and the digital finance realm.

550 BTC is almost half million dollar, first be sure they are in safe. Also whatever amount of btc you have, invest in where you're best.

You can check out JUA, bitcoin bank by ChinaBTC (one of top 5 major btc exchanges in China), daily 0.025% interest for current deposit / 1.3~1.4% for fixed deposit (opened for 6 times, 1000~2000btc amount each time. Almost always sold out in minutes, but currently fixed deposit is not available).

URL http://save.jua.com

In Chinese JUA(聚啊) means collecting and saving treasures.
Now it has around 30k BTC savings in all.
I don't work for JUA, and I dont have that many BTCs like you, but I managed to get considerable btc income last month.

(You can change top corner flag to alter webpage language, and check the introduction yourself.)

For other top exchange markets in China, there are also OKCoin's BiShengBi (Meaning btc generated by btc, presently not open to public), and HuoBi's BitVC (at about 0.012% daily interest for current deposit / 1.2% for fixed deposit, currently fixed deposit is not available). I now have my both JUA and BitVC income every day, but ChinaBTC's JUA is easier to use and has higher pay back.

Give it to someone who understands investment, do not try anything by your own, you can end up loosing all of them.

Good luck.

Property is the best for investing.
But always learn about what would you invest before you invest in it.

I'm not sure if most people want to be a lowly landlord or property dealer. Also in a lot of countries .gov managed to inflate huge bubbles so it's quite risky in most developed countries.

My advice to OP:

Diversification is key.

I would leave some in btc, precious metals (physical), property (carefully selected), land. I would definitely invest some in creating bitcoin companies.

Mix up what you invest in, dont put all your eggs in one basket!

Try property, metals, currencies. Not sure what else.

take 448 BTC... put it in a paper wallet with super secure password... then encrypt it with gpg... ofcourse don't forget either password...

the 2 BTC remaining... have fun with that... check out the scamurities sub forum..... invest 2btc in said forum... when you lose the 2BTC, and 99% of the time you probably will... just be glad you have the 448BTC as your nest egg.....

now take the 448 BTC remaining... and don't touch it... unless you want to sell it slowly.... do not invest... investing in BTC is shall we say.. another name for someone else to take your money.

and yeah yeah I' sure others will say I'm talking shit.... how many people have made sizeable gans ? or lost it all ? Whle it might be fun to invest 0.005 and get back 0.0006 the first month... then 0.007.. then 0.0008... after a few months it will go in the opposite direction.

You have obviously been doing somethig right to collect that much BTC... weather its from buying.. stealing.. gambling or what ever.. what ever it is.. keep doing that, if you must :)

You might check out what Dan Larimer and his crew are doing over at BitShares. If it works, it could revolutionize finance using the blockchain.

Where would you buy a house right now? It depends a lot on country, location... you can lose money speculating with this right now.
And wow OP, 550BTC is a fuckton.

Do you get paid to advertise this? You seem to post about it a lot.

Im considering putting a small amount like 0.5 (not small for me) and see what happens, but I cant decide yet, everything looks like a scam to me. Call me paranoid if you want.

Im sure you could find a deal with the seller...

If you do not invest your money then it will not grow. If no one invests their money then the economy cannot grow and advance as the innovation will not be there.

you could also loan it out for people to get mining hardware :P SOmeone like me! lol

1EbmgAhnyVy3hFHFcyUjSf9CMFTC2GJ16n

send me a few and I can get some mining gear

cheers!

I suggest your buy a house or hotel to rent.
and enjoy ur life.

This is true. With inflation, the value of your bitcoin will generally decrease over time, granted the price of bitcoin is likely to grow as adoption grows, however there is a limit to this and you ultimately need to grow the number of bitcoin you own in order to grow your wealth.

I would purchase some miners and make a big farm just to watch them

Even if you just hold you might be OK. There were some predictions ho much BTC you will need to retire in 10 years time and most were under 100. But if you will not go into altcoins, i suggest you to sell some at next ATH and put in some other things out of net.

Lend them, you can earn an easy 10% every time you lend! that's very nice.

Lending BTC is very risky and very time intensive as people generally are not willing to put up collateral for loans, however it is also generally too risky to lend to someone without collateral.

For these reasons I don't think the OP would be able to deploy 550 BTC worth of capital for lending.

I will purchase some Scrypt mining machines because in scrypt mining you can tons of profit if you know what you are doing. I would say I can invest 10 BTC for buying mining scrypt, there's a new product on the market which uses 1200W and it's 500mh/s (SCRYPT). Which is awesome and makes you a lot of profit without using a lot of electricity.

This is a great way to lose them.

Use some to buy real estate via Bitcoin and keep the rest in cold storage.

Crack and hookers

Leave asap my man and cashout irl

check EXCL ico

I guess its fake :P

Spread it. Stocks (try alibaba), gold, silver, lend with good interests, etc :)

wow, how did you get so many BTC?
never mind, you can lend it or buy some promising coins or buy a house and lend it, you know, there is millions of ways to invest money.

One year to get 550BTC and asking what next. I think this kind of person has plans for future, so IMO it is fake.

I saw this thread in the beginning of the month. I think he was trying to jerk our chain.

Has 550 BTC
Is a nublet


No

Invest Small amount and hold rest back To rise in price. :)

You could invest in a reliable platform to gain a % on your amount. With 500+ btc even a few interest is good.

Invest in real estate and continue gather BTC as you did so far  ::)

Up to ~ 150 BTC you can invest through me.
30% monthly profit, BTC transfer expenses on you.
Refarding larger BTC amounts - it will not be so easy.
PM me if interested.

Try Dank Bank, Bitcoin Savings and Trust, Cryptco Miner, Butterfly Labs, the list goes on....don't

I would invest a large amount in ltcgear.

dafuq did just i saw? newbie have 550BTC?

IMPOSIBRUUUUUU

I suggest your buy a house or hotel to rent.
and enjoy ur life.

If you really have this amount , I would suggest you to keep them and wait the BTC price rise , like .. rise for real

Exactly - your BTC is already invested. Just keep it that way :)

Keep trading

I really rather doubt you mined that many coins. How does one sound so clueless and yet obtain a fairly sizeable holding?

Anyway, let the trolls have their fun.

Open a Casino, Dice

As the current volatility is too high, directly trading BTC is too risky. Trading options could be a good idea. You can have a look at https://coinut.com and I will be glad to give you some trading strategies as well.

I would speculate with some part for trading (you can earn a lot by recent ups and downs).

Additionally I would hold some for selling later (when the price has went up after couple of years).

you have 550 bitcoins but don't know how to invest them
strange how you managed to mine that much amount of bitcoins bcoz your account is not old or its your alt account

invest some of it in a dice sites bankroll, try a loaning service, and day trading with 550BTC you can earn lots of fiat in just weeks

You can invest in my new startup http://coinut.com  :P

or give me

lol

simple answer : put that in cold storage and forget it untill 2020 or more ;D

The best thing to do would be convert half of it to Fiat. Not because bitcoin is bad, but because of the volatility, you never know where it would end to be.
The rest, you can use to open a casino, by hiring a developer, which is better than investing in a dice site, looking at the number of scams happening.

Guys, OP either has a new account or is an alt. So we'll never know for sure unless he replies.

Shoulda sold most of the btc back when it was like 600-700 in summertime...or better yet back in jan when it was like $1k lol

Purchasing a car would not be an investment. The value would drop instantly. The real estate purchase would be an investment though.

If you get that 550 BTC, is because you are realy good in the business, why you dont invest more on Mining and trading? if you are searching something new to do with your btc, you can open a gambling site.

You're welcome to park a bit on bitcoinrocket.io (https://www.bitcoinrocket.io) and help make the rockets fly...  :)

I'm pretty sure this thread is just a not very covert way of advertising whatever THIS is. Scams upon scams

I always wonder why people thinking investing in real estate is a safe investment. It isn't. Its never safe, and the property is never yours  ;D There are so much cases that can happens for your loose your estate in these times.

Invest in virtual goods. Content. Websites. Invest in things you can easy carry  ;D

Have hold a good part still as BTC for safety on a safe place.

30-35% you invest. Thats a good thing and safe

Why is the property never yours? Real estate is actually a good investment considering the appreciation that happens over year.
But if you make a bad investment, then thats another thing.

Some people get themself a mortgage or loan just to invest in real estate.

If they for whatever reason can't pay off their debt, you'll of course lose your investment.

Wait for new discount codes on LTCGEAR and earn 10-15% weekly (or contact chris directly for bulk discount). It should earn 150-200% over the next few months even with difficulty increases.

You have already invested, just keep em. Spend some, get the Bitcoin economy growing.

If I were you, I would use them to start crypto related online business. Crypto will survive and grow, the question is which coins will survive. Investing in crypto services is savier than into coins itself. To make it easier for you I can sell you one of my old projects, like http://www.cryptoreading.com/

I have also some cool crypto related domain names for sale, like blockchainbitcoin.com, blockchainaddress.com and some others....

Best answer.
If you are into bitcoin for years and managed to mine and trade to make more, you should not ask these questions because you would already know.


Sign a message first, you sound not legit.

Check out all the shit cloudmining websites (they're mostly ponzis actually).

Just invest 0.1 btc to each one of them, then wait for a profit. Or keep track of them, which pays in time etc. And share these info with people on a website like "cloud mining monitor" etc.

Thats not the best thing to do.  You might lose much more money for just returns in one of the sites.

Continue mining and trading.

What a huge sum!
Why don't you invest in Real Estate?

If you need to ask, investing might not be the best idea.

Check out BTCJam.com or BitLendingClub.com help out some of the smaller home miners that have loan requests on these sites, you can add some interest to whatever you loan out and let your BTC make more BTCs for you all while you help others in the crypto world. If I was in your position that's what I would be doing, I'd invest some, also keep some in a hardware wallet to see if the price goes up in the next year or 2. The rest would be put into a mining farm of my own, buy a bunch of SP31s and let those make more coins for me.
The nice thing about BTCs you can let them make more BTCs for you without much work.

Or hold out until the price per coin gets to a point where you feel comfortable and sell them, there's plenty of sites out there for this. But with that many if true I would always keep some through the ups and downs, just to see what happens. With Microsoft now in the BTC biz, and a lot of other companies helping bring BTC mainstream you never know what the price per coin will be in 6 months to a year.

I am always accepting tips https://www.changetip.com/tipme/RME

just hold it and invest it in your future by cashing it out slowly by buying assets/goods.

Mining operations if you can get low cost power is the best ROI for that coinage. PM me if interested in talking about that.

Oddly enough the starters have bitcoin that much, and you told me so many years? did you know bitcoin since when?

if trade and mining can produce that much, just continue the same thing :)

Just send some to me.  ;)

Check out Counterparty, there is over Bitcoin blockchain many interesting project running https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=395761.msg10022805#msg10022805

I love u  ;D

http://cryptodouble.com/?ref=q59fW  :D


PS: just joking, atleast not that much but I saw 50 btc go through in one go lol

well if you really own them also by trading/mining, you should just countinue in that way, since you earned a lot moving in those direction, you should know that already...

Agree, why not have an excellent life with this excellent coin?
And if you decide to invest some, just think 1000 times before.

invest it into a good gambling site profit will be positive for sure ;)

Another approach is taking 550 btc and cashing them out 1 BTC per day in the form of cash or goods or trades etc.

That will be about 1.5 years of cashing out which will give you a better cashout average than dumping all at once at any one time.

damn you're good !

You must protect it to the safest place.
I'm sure bitcoin will become more rare on the future and you will rich on the next year 8)

Put them on http://Eurobit.io they are offering zero commissions for market makers.

If you have money and are living comfortable which i assume you will be being able to save 550btc, then cash out what it owes if any and have a nice holiday, treat family and close friends! Come back and keep up the good work  ;D

Is that a trading site ? If yes, then how would that guarantee a return ?

hey buddy, how is it going?

i'm not promising you any return, and if someone does.. run away because that may be a scam.

Hey guys, i'm the CEO of Blinktrade and we provide the technology for eurobit.io.

I believe you are all correct and should suspect and be skeptical about every new bitcoin exchange. There are lots of scammers out there and you should make your own due diligence on any company.

Our CTO Rodrigo Souza has been interviews by CoinDesk and gave a few tips on how to avoid being scammed in 2015 http://www.coindesk.com/avoid-bitcoin-scams-2015/. You can check the article and understand a little more about our safety practices, or you could just check our source code at https://github.com/blinktrade/.

Every bitcoin deposited with Eurobit are kept in multi-signature wallets, and in order to have access to the bitcoins a person would have to have 3 separate keys (mine or rodrigo's, eurobit or a third party).

We are also focused on connecting our exchanges around the world and allow them to remit bitcoins in a matter of a second, this is something missing in the bitcoin industry.

We advise all users to withdrawal their bitcoins if they aren't being traded, once you wanna trade you can just deposit (we offer instant deposits) and start trading. An exchange should not be used as a wallet.

You can all try the testnet platform hosted on http://testnet.blinktrade.com

thank you all,

Yoni

do you have 550 btc? very good..
mining or trading your btc and hold 50% btc for longterm. :D

 :o good job!! where did u get 550BTC? how long?
 ::)
i have a idea, sent to me some BTC  ;D

Hopefully he listened to you and made 35% on everything he cashed out :D

Wow thats an awesome idea. I have some too , how much should I send to you?
#...

Gamble them on bitcoin dice. If you double up repeat till you own every single bitcoin and then sell all of them at once, grab popcorn and watch the drama unfold here in the forums.

I don't think it's a good idea ;D
Maybe invest it on bitfinex.

Best would be to keep doing what u are doing. If you earned 550 btc, that means u are doing it right.

Maybe he inherits or got a large lump sum from his insurance or his job, nothing he can reproduce ;)

invest your btc for longterm or buy car, house to rent
for business real. because do you have btc very much.

Invest btc to real business, and maybe do real estate!

spend some on food too of course and do take in a high price to bank do not invest just on risk includin doubling sites

I think the best investment for OP will be in new blockchain/sidechain projects

He might have mined it, which isn't very rewarding these days.

good , if you really have 550btc , first advice

do not invest in altcoin ,
trying to built your own serve for earning more

make a macdonald.

Ponzi :)

Buy BURST, its a great invest.  :D

Guys, do you realise that op had only 2 post on bitcointalk and he is gone since almost half a year? I do know know if that op post was legit at all. After all he was newbie with 550 BTC. It will be probably the best to close down this thread now.

create some bussines to make it any profit and make it real dude

I seriously doubt that you don't know what to do with 550 BTC. :P

this person is playing with us he is in mining bussines and dont know what to do with 550 btc

You shall buy pizzas! 550 BTC's worth of pizzas!

What would you do?

I would invest 110BTC and keep the rest in cold storage.

I wld split those investments into smaller ones into cloud mining etc, and longterm returns. mostly places u know for sure will not scam and u can profit! pm me if u want to be my ref :D

here,, in indonesia

with 550BTC


u can invest with building a boarding house :p

the best investement in my city today :p

maybe u can get profit $100.000/ Year

lol

You guys really don't think that the OP really have that amount of Bitcoin '550' , Do you ?
He is trolling around or simply spamming , He didn't post anything since he posted this thread and never discussed what the other members proposed him or adviced him to do . and his Last activity was in September 02, 2014, 02:44:10 PM . I really can't stand seeing trolling threads un-closed to be honest

~ Madness

well i dont have for sure the 550 but if he has or not its his drill as a advise for investin 550 i simply d onot invest that big amout maybe just 1 btc in some roi of good and simple short return the rest i would progressivly withdral like 200 dollars per day or soo.

550 BTC is a huge amount of money, I notice you have it in September of last year, did u sell them into fiat?

OP is not responding to questions. 550 BTC is indeed a big amount of BTC!

I tell you what. Your 550 BTC would be safe with me!

put it all on black in roulette

and if the loss of everything he is going crazy, or suicide lol

He could save it on a paper wallet that he stores in a safe country far away so he can't access it easily then he waits for the price to increase ten or a hundred fold.

gambling is sometimes carried away, and could spend without any remaining balance on the wallet

btcjam, Yes they have lot scammars there but risk vs. retarn is also hi.

You don't have 550BTC.

or..


put it all in 999dice

:p

if you are looking for an easy way to spend part of those BTC, check out www.e-coin.io - it is a Visa debit card which allows you to spend your bitcoins anywhere Visa logo is displayed (ATM, POS, online). Fees are low, conversions are almost immediate, no bank account required

the best thing would be to hold some, and use the rest to grow a smaller principal.

I mean if you have 550 btc, 50 btc should be put into to mining or something.

OP has not been online since 2nd Sept.

Let this thread die lol

i belive this is just a scam , he's looking for people trying to scam him and scamming them instead : >

THE THREAD SHALL SURVIVE! , hey man you were the last one to revive it..

holy shit , could i hire you as my counceler ? I'd like your future great advices please send me a pm , ill pay you 10btc monthly for your daily advise.

 I think either the OP invested it and lost it and went in deep shock or died ???

Well done for holding onto 550 BTC!

Invest in property which can handle a massive increase in interest rates, that's as safe as you can get and the returns I am getting are 14.2%. I used a portfolio management company called Holla Property Group in the UK and am amazed at how quickly my money has grown.

If it was me I would invest in gold as gold is only ever becoiming more expensive

hold half , invest other half in further infrastructure for next gens :)

why would he do that ? to get a million people try to get those funds from him?
there's no reason for him to prove that he has that amount.

nice ponzi bro! ...

Yeah, money loves silence, and big money loves deathly silence. But why would the OP start this thread in the first place? If he did really earn 500 bitcoins from trading and mining, he would already know what to do with them.

Just 2 posts and 9 pages of discussion, you've been had.
