I have 50$ in bitcoins , where to invest to get more?

Do nothing and wait till the BTC value rise.

To multiply your bitcoins you can try with gambing, But always is a risk.

The same amount of Bitcoin is not always the same amount of money, hold your BTC, and when the price goes up you can sell it on localbitcoins.com for more than that $50.

simply hold it or invest in some kind of project or take look on btcjam.com

Lending places are always dangerous for newbies unless he know what's he doing. ::)

yes..
You should look for people who have confirmed their identify and who have positive feedback and successful loans in history.

Just keep half of them, and try to spent the half other in gambling.
yes, there will always risk in gambling, but who knows?

invest = risk!

there is no safe investment

can you afford to lose your $50? if yes, then you can try

lending here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=65.0
gambling here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=56.0
or
trading here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=53.0

or just keep them and wait for price to go up and then sell

I say to keep your bitcoins for a while. bitcoin price might rise soon

Gambling is a terrible idea, no matter what currency you use.  Lending to strangers on the Internet is a bad idea.  If you wouldn't do it with dollars, don't do it with bitcoins!  Beware of advice received on bitcointalk.org, as 90% of the participants here seem to act like children.

Day trading is a slightly less bad idea.  The idea is to sell some after it goes up, then buy some after it goes down.  However, you should first examine the past history of Bitcoin and remember that relevant past behavior is the best predictor of future behavior.  Bitcoin has historically been subject to occasional major rises, followed by fast crashes.  Day traders often sell near the bottom and miss most of the major rises, and they sometimes buy as it starts crashing, thinking it's probably going to resume the rapid climb.  For that reason, the boring strategy of "buy and hold" usually yields better results than day trading.

Also, day trading requires you to keep balances at exchanges, which exposes you to the risk of theft.  By contrast, with buy and hold, you can keep your coins in cold storage and be much safer.  Investigate cold storage options (like TREZOR), and store your coins securely.

I recommend a combination of "buy and hold" for long-term appreciation, and "spend and replenish" to support the merchants who are already accepting bitcoins and encourage others to do so.

$50 worth is a tiny investment.  I suggest investing 1-5% of your net worth in bitcoins.  That's a small enough investment that you don't suffer much if it fails, but enough to make you much richer if it really takes off.  Think about how rich you want to be,  and imagine how many bitcoins you would need to own to be that rich if the price went to, say, $10,000 each.

However, if your net worth is close to zero, then consider buying $20 or $50 worth every week, whatever you can afford, until you reach your investment goal.

The difference between rich people and poor people is that rich people tend to hang on their money, while poor people fritter it away.  Which do you want to be?

Gambling 99% risking you money. Today i lost .31 btc in gambling site.

I recommend you to trade you btc with $ you will earn some extra.

I would recommend simple holding what you have.  Most of the alt's are nothing but pump-and-dump scheme's and if you choose to participate in them you may get lucky...but more than likely not.

Its more safe to let it in your wallet before you lost it in ponzi or to be scammed.

If you really want to invest you can wait to see any IPO of a new valuable asset

I mean something like storjcoinx, gemz or ethereum. anyone could invest in these projects and finally they have been all profitable.

Obviously it is not a quick profit investment

Gambling or playing the altcoin markets which is gambling (unless you have knowledge of a paycoinesque pump and dump).

I gamble, just went from .2 to .325 in a minute mate.

You can try to trade active pair of cryptos like for instance btc-xrp, btc-doge. Buy low, sell high, but make sure you know what you are doing. Probably safer than with other investment because basically the worst is you will just end up with the other cryptos.

It is a small amount, so you can afford some risks.

Maybe altcoins and some lending(here with collateral and btcjam?)

If you want to invest try to search xbtc or bitcoinex, this is counterparty assets.
Or hold until the price rise. That's your choice :D

Don't gamble, instead invest in a gambling site, such as diggit.io or just-dice.com. I personally have never invested, I stay away from gambling sites, but considering the amount of money people lose in gambling, investing in a gambling site seems like a smart idea.

The easiest/simplest you could do is gamble.

But if you aren't interested in that, you could try lending to other users and gain interest from the amount you lent. You could also invest into projects or sites, such as an online dice site that allows users to invest in the site.

Gambling is the easiest way. If you want to lose everything fast. I course you can got lucky but... shit happens. And be careful with investing money in fresh or unknown businesses. They can scam you easily. Even if it is only $50.

gamble in dicesite, or some altcoin, not the old one but some new one

Yes, you can try any altcoin investment, or some Dice Sites' Investment (there are many new ones popping up nowadays, so play safe), or you can lend them to someone with some valid collateral in front of it, so that you may not lose it anyhow... :)

If he is a newbie I would not recommend any alt coin investments. AltCoins are plagued with ponzi, pump and dump and other scammy scenarios.

Saying that, I meant that he/she may invest in an altcoin which is stable... I mean, check the resources, research and then invest... I feel the OP ain't stupid to put his/her money into anything without any research...

Just don't invest it in gambling as most of these guys are speaking..

I suggest you not risking your money. You can do whatever you want, but dont come here when you could doubled or tripled your cash just for waitin'
I'm waiting for btc price to explode, and i'm sure that many people here do the same thing. Stay safe!

Perhaps part of the issue is that we are so used to inflationary currencies, like dollars and euros, where your money loses value as you hold on to it.  That gets us used to the idea that we must do something to counteract that loss in value.

Maybe you would be better off thinking of Bitcoin as similar to shares of Google stock 10 years ago.  What would have been the wisest thing to do with those shares back then?  Gamble them away?  Loan them to strangers on the Internet?  Trade them for lower quality stocks?  No, you would be best off just holding on to them and letting them appreciate in value.  Or accumulating more and holding on to those shares, as well.

Bitcoin IS the investment.  You don't need to further invest the investment!  Jous HODL (hold on for dear life, no matter what happens to the price).

Investing isn't a sure win. You can invest into bitcoin and suddenly the price drops back to 1$ and you lost. Same thing with everything else, it's a gamble. Hold on to your 50$ in btc and try to get as much btc as you can, so when the price rises again, you will have much more.

thank you guys.

Move the $50 to a secure paperwallet and put it in a safe.

Not a lot of options available if you are looking for easy money. If you are lucky, you could get tons of gains from it. One option is to buy into an altcoin or multiple altcoins that are brand new and are cheap, then go from there. It seems the golden age for altcoins has already passed.

HODL

There's a way but it takes some research and patience. And don't think you'll get rich overnight.

Many people earn decent profits by trading promising alt-coins, but you have to be very careful which coins you choose and when to buy/sell.

Have a look at this thread:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=918607

And have a look at this coin for an example:
http://crypto-prices.com/DOGED
People who invested in DOGED early @ 1 satoshi price are now selling it @ 5 satoshi, earning 4x profit.

I'm not telling you to invest in DOGED, I'm just saying if you make careful decisions, alt-coin trading can surprise you.
