Bitcoin Forum

I have one full bitcoin. What form of investment would be available for this amount and what are the risks involve?

I'd be weary of BTC-denominated investments. The lending forum is full of scammers. Casinos and other investment opportunities can be very fly-by-night. I prefer to hold onto my BTC when not hedging by holding USD to buy back lower.

Yeah, I'd be very careful to invest in BTC-denominated stocks. There are very few stocks that currently trade above IPO price (I can actually only think of one - ASICMiner). The safest way (if you can call that safe) is to keep the BTC safe in a paper wallet and wait for it to appreciate in value!

I wouldn't invest in any cryptostock or gambling sites. May be find a trust worthy exchange and do a bit of trading? Trading with 1 btc would get you anywhere though. So, the safe way is just to leave them in a paper wallet.  :-\

Investing in trusted gambling sites can actually pay off. But only if you actually do invest in the bankroll. Gambling there is dangerous - like all gambling is. Sites like PrimeDice are legit and provably fair, though!

Very true, but with JD shut down and PD still not accepting investment, the only places left are DiceBitcoin, Dice.Ninja and PRC Dice...

Try CEX.io.

And if you're going to try, PM me, I can guide you.

Probably safest just to hold your btc for now.

There is potential to make a decent profit by investing in alt currencies but it's very risky and unless you know what you're doing probably wise to not bother.

Anyone can hold any kind of money, fiat or crypto one. It won`t require any inteligence(even dogs can hold stuff), but I think no one would call it investing.

Options:

Trade. Risks: lose money by sell low and buy high, gox events, account hacked.
Invest in the bank of some well kown gambling site. Risk deppends on site.
Trade digital goods and stuff. Risk is you screw up with your business and don't have profit or you being scammed
Buy sites and stuff like that. Risk is your site or service don't have enough profit and you end with less bitcoin.
 

The hashrate price on cex is way too high to be profitable (0.0038 btc per GH/s) and the maintenance fee at $0.18 a month makes it even worse.
You are almost guaranteed to get some loss mining there, unless you are good at trading the GHS market.

I heard that Hashlet from GAW miners are really good options nowadays. It is not that expensive, you don't have to invest much in it. Just test the waters if this is profitable enough and see if you want to continue.

The price has went up a lot, not worth it anymore.

Provide as collateral to margin lending ops like on bitfinex
Btcjam maybe selectively on collateralised stuff

Either invest or hold.  Holding is not a bad idea.  It is a little low right now.

i am also confused where the safest and most profitable place to invest bitcoin?
can anyone help me please ...

Bitcoin is a currency and an economy.  If you want to invest in it you need to advertise BTC to merchants.  Newegg and Dell took it, advertise it to your local shops.  The more it gets accepted, the more stable it will become and the more likely the value will rise due to its utility.

+1.
To make the bitcoin price much higher, we need bitcoin to hit the mainstream.
To do so, we need to get more customers using bitcoin and more merchants accepting bitcoin payment.

One simple way to get merchants interested in bitcoin, is to ask if they accept bitcoin every time you pay for your products or services. :)

You can buy physical bit coin and wear it as necklace around your neck. It will be expensive necklace soon.

Keep it ;)

Holding one full bitcoin would not be a bad idea at all right about now to be honest. The price is currently low and hopefully should rise again soon so holding will make your one full bitcoin worth more meaning you could probably invest in more than you could do now :)

If you risk investing it you also risk loosing it. I think the best way to invest it would be to do nothing but hold onto that coin. Give it a few 1-3 years and I'm sure it'll be worth a lot more than it is now, though of course the opposite is also true  :D.

You should just hold it long term, there's no need to risk it.

There are some low risk investments that you can do, take a look at havelock investments and choose your shares.

I would also keep it , think of the profit you can get if bitcoin will raise, and for just doing nothing :)

if bitcoin value lowers too much, simply exchange it for cash

If you like gamblig, load your btc in a trusted dice site and play it at 50/50 :)

Save it for 10 years then retire.

Invest it maybe and just forget about it. Set an alarm 2 years after and then tadaaa!!

Whatever you choose to do, do a good study first, there's a lot of posts on this forum about most (if not all) of the investments others told you about here  :)

A common advice around here is "never risk more that you can lose"

I`d just hold onto it.

But theres lots you can do, just remember to double check, triple check if you want to send your btc amount to people.

you can check my .2 btc mistake here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=768276.msg8657419#msg8657419

I am really not sure if that huge leap of bitcoin would happen in the future. If you can keep and save your coins its good. Personally I spent all my coins...

you should try buy and sell of bitcoins coz mining is not going a little good right now.

Like what site are you talking about?

Most likely primedice..... but don't gamble it.  Save or mine with it i suggest!

Gambling is not the best idea... you can lose it very easily. If i was you, i would just hold on to it as the price is going to shoot up again

Agree with the others that the best option is to hodl your bitcoin for a few years.
There are ways to earn more bitcoin with your current bitcoin, but they are involved risks and you could lose everything.

There is no any game bitcoin doubling game in reality other than scams in this mighty internet world.Your mind has to work at proper place where you want to invest the $500 worth of coin to get you right profit.Just be aware of lendings and ponzi schemes

But 1BTC is nothing. How do you multiply it if you dont risk it?  ???

how about reinvest. I wish i had that and invested in kore coin it went up 100 percent lol. You can also check my signature and maybe buy some mining power. for the cloud

What do you do with one full Bitcoin?  Why you HODL on to it and never let it go!  You hold it and squeeze and kiss it good night and never let it out of your sight.

My precious.....

At least that's what I do with my shiny babies...

try to invest 50% in some altcoin, or mining, keep the rest

I suggest you to keep it. In few days price of Bitcoin may arise. So wait for the right time.

Investing in stock: The stock price may go down.
Investing in casino: The site may be closed or hacked, or the site may get loss after your investment.
Day-trading in bitcoin or altcoin: The bitcoin or altcoin price may go down.
Lending: The borrowers may be gone, or the value of collateral may go down.

Give it to me, so I can spend it lol.  :D

But, just invest by lending it to people with legit offers and collateral.

Yeah, thats what every people said. Just hold into it.

So how do you become wealthy? suicide and hope you inherit next time?  ::)

To hold one bitcoin does not really mean anything, have just be wondering on the price that moves low everyday, i do not really know what will comes up by next week again, but i hope it will be a better hope for us.

Sell it and spend a weekend with your friends and family.

Make sure you find a very good mentor for this bitcoin because they are a lot of scammers in bitcoin, but to my own point of view i can tell you to kindly hold it till bitcoin gain there price back, that means it will fetch you more profit then, than selling it now that is valueless.

There are many things to do. But for now I think you can hold it and wait.

Save it !!
if you find $5,10, 100 in the street would you go straight to the casino ?? Or stock brocker ?? Stick that bastard in the bank !!!!
You don't have to get waste.... eerr invest it straight away mate :)

Not a good call to take investment from others with your own money.  Take each and every post of this thread with a grain of salt until you've done you own due diligence and understand what you potential risks and gains would be.  The option of holding the coin is what would be best if you think Bitcoin has potential for growth in it's value.

Considering that the amount of 1BTC is too small of an amount for most corporate investments I would sit on it in cold wallet.

You could always try investing it but the energy spent trying to grow 1 BTC would be better spent on trying to acquire the 2nd and 3rd and 4.....

I`d have to say no to alt coin. There is so many and most are pump and dumps, so thats just throwing bitcoin away.

i hold unto it till now, confuse and scare of scam

I usually look at a coin for a few weeks before doing the investment. I have recently started doing it and looked into kore and ltcx. Have to say wasent disappointed in my investement. Also Doge right now is a good investment.

In what world is Dogecoin a good investment?

Stay away from alts people, they're all pump and dump schemes, the penny stocks and pink sheets of the Cryptocurrency world...

I have never had a whole bitcoin but if I would, I will invest it in Burst or LTB coins because of their big potential.

@OP

you can invest it or gamble it :)

but it would be good thing if you invest it in good sites!!

good luck

you can get started with cloud mining, you can get paid daily and rapid ROI of approximately 2.5 months

Either blatantly telling lies or spouting advice without having any basic understanding of the crypto economy.

Based on the difficulty I dont think you`ll reach 1 btc again lol. Unless you have some serious mining power.

Judging by your name, I assume you enjoy Final Fantasy.  You could "invest" in my FFXI account if you wanted.

To be honest though, 1 BTC is probably a little steep for it. ;)

Buy some solarcoins.  8)

He was probably talking about the HYIP in his sig space, and it seems he did believe it was really getting 3% to 4.5% daily return from mining. ;)

I don't know which altcoin's price will go up and which will go down, but I know it is a very risky investment as I have seen some altcoin/bitcoin exchange rate going down 50% a day from time to time.
So as a friendly reminder, don't put more than you can lose in it.

Pirate promised 7% return per week and we saw how that went.  I wonder how long a 5% daily return will survive.

Hold it and try to get more bitcoins without spending the ones you have :)

It was said before in this thread : you should keep it securely as an investment

Try to save/earn a second bitcoin that you may invest

There are many people who try to invest their bitcoins hoping to increase them but most have failed.

Yeah, it's mostly due to greed. If people are promised a big return, they immediately seem to forget about the downsides to it! They don't really take into consideration that the whole investment may get lost, they don't seem to be able to grasp that this can happen to them. "To others maybe, but no way this is going to happen to me!"

But how are you supossed to achieve financial freedom that way? 99% of people can only buy small % of BTC monthly with FIAT, thats about it if you dont want to risk your BTC trading and what not.

Sadly people are holding their bitcoins becouse they expect to increase in value .

I'd keep at least 50 % as BTC and the rest I'd probably invest in stocks.

Eat it. Seriously, just hang on to it!

I really recommend you to just keep the coin. Investing it in some crypto stock is very dangerous! If you want to go and give mining a try, I can recommend the ASICMiner Tube miners (see signature!)

Stay away from alt coins, mining and new bitcoins websites; keep accumulating bitcoins and protect them well

Well you coukd create your own coin if needed. We did but that because we can work with the coin. I would keep it and wait for more or unless you want to keep up with your hash power find a cheap powerfull asic. Creating an altcoin without a goal set seems useless. Sometimes even with a goal set its still useless.

keep it, as you keep USD on bank account

The best investment IMO is to keep it safe in your wallet untouched.
Your 1 btc will stay as 1 btc, but hopefully the value of it in USD will go up as bitcoin becomes more and more popular.

the best thing to do with 1 bitcoin is to maybe invest it all in a trustworthy site. You can ask people here where is the best bitcoin investment site.

Hold your Bitcoin
get a good business idea and invest into your idea
better then lending to stranger

Another thing you can do with one full bitcoin if you're crazy or stupid or just feeling very very lucky is do a "1 TIME" roll:

https://primedice.com/

1 BTC, 1 roll....and either double up or feel like a complete an utter tool.

People have done worst I'm sure, but if you want to make 1 into 2, that's probably fastest (not smartest) way!

No need to do anything. Keep it until the price rise.

I suggest you to keep it. In few days price of Bitcoin may arise. So wait for the right time.

One bitcoin is too little to do much with it.
I would suggest  u keep it and forget about it for a few years,
then if bitcoin has done its magic , ull have something worth having, if not, its not much to loose anyways.

It is not a good idea to keep using dicebitco.in after multiple people reported the site has been scamming its users.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=774120.0

But I agree gambling is the fastest way to double your bitcoin (and also the fastest way to lose all your bitcoin). :P

True, I've heard about the allegations of that site.  I'll drop the sig too after the conclusion of this month.

Investment is such a personal choice.. You should hire a manager who makes the decisions for you  :D

pick up kore coin bro on bittrex and just put it in your wallet and let it run and get you more coins. They recently introduced wallet to wallet voip lets see another coin do that.

You can't do much with one bitcoin at the moment, the best way to increase your capital is to hold it.

If I have one, im going to buy bitcoin domain sold by primedice right now.

I don't understand, Primedice is selling its website? I think it's impossible.

No need to invest. Just keep it and wait until its price  rise again.

You should just hold it long term, there's no need to risk it.
