There's not unfortunately.

Even the gold isn't a secure investment. Bitcoin is like a rollercoaster.

Arbitrage. Buy on exchanges with low value, sell on exchanges with high value. The only risk here is the exchange pulling a mt.gox.

No.

Anyone offering you interest on btc deposits may run away with your money. Vircurex was one such place. Bter offered interest and is currently "hacked".

Delta and Bitsavings have come and gone.

Of course there is no risk free way to invest, if there was then everyone would do it and everyone would make money and no one would lose.  Real life doesn't work like that, I don't know why people keep asking this type of question.

Dude there can be if someone professional who is good in trading we can invest in them or some legit site who gives loans to people we can invest in them..Get my point?

What if the market takes a sudden dip or the people you loan out to don't pay back?

that's the exception..you can't have 0%  risk

ur best bet is to build a business yourself. and gain any profit from it.

Want invest with 0 risk? Go buy gold for sure the price will always go up

No there isn't.  Even if you manage to get your bitcoins in an interest based program, you still have the fiat conversion which might go down, and causing you to lost the value.
However a way around might be to buy a stable POS altcoin, which will continue growing.

No, no there cannot; no one is perfect.

There is no risk free way to invest anything of any value, so no, there is no way to invest your Bitcoins risk free.
I do have an investment in Just-Dice that I think is about as risk free as it comes, but that can go us as well as down, I guess I mean the house edge is in ma favour and I don't think Dooglus will run off with my money.

there is no risk free in any investment

however you could try to buy bitcoin with dollar and sell them for euro, this is better than arbitrage

can you tell me how to invest in dice sites to earn btcs

there is no risk free if you want invest on bitcoin..., :)
just try to make it profit :D ( trading may best option )

There are no risk free investments. There are barely "safe" ones.
Read the investopedia if you want to learn but don't do it with bitcoins

Just-Dice is now using clams, so you would have to buy clams with your bitcoin, then move them onto Just-Dice and follow the instructions there. 
Other sites offer investment in Bitcoins, I do not have enough information about them to advise you to use them, or not to use them.  If prime-dice allow investment I dare say they would probably be fine (no advice intended)

Is clams an alt coin?
Anyway. You can trade with Havelock investments.

whats dat?

Oh, you want free money eh? No problem, first send all your bitcoin to me...

;)

Most of the professionslas, don't trade with others btc, and the ones that do ,most of the times lie about it

every invest is have a high risk but if you wanna profit from bitcoin you can buy when the price down
and sell when the price is going high :D :D :D

He is asking a way to invest bitcoins not to invest in bitcoins. But that is a good idea.

but i think still have a risk because you know about bitcoin price is unpredictable...

There is no such thing as risk-free.

Well, US Dollars in banks, at balances below 250,000, those could be considered risk free, and up until the financial crisis, you used to earn some interest on your deposits as well.

The way that banks produce interest to credit to your account is by loaning out your money; the money doesn't just magically multiply while its in their vaults.

There is, so far, no equivalent in the Bitcoin world.

Moreso, and more importantly, any offers of "risk free" ways to invest your bitcoins are likely scams. If it means sending your bitcoins to someone else, you have to trust that no only will they pay you interest as promised, but that they will actually return your bitcoins as well. Because if they don't return your coins, there's no way that you can force them to do so.

My advice: Hold onto your coins. Don't get greedy trying to earn something from them, because that just opens you up to so many of the scammers that have operated with near impunity for way too long. And know, even if you find an investment with great reviews (people who invested, earned something from their investment, and then got their money back), in too many cases these have been ponzi-schemes. Just because someone who invested before you got their money back means nothing for getting your own money back...

And, as I actually blogged about, even the most trusted names in the Bitcoin community can suddenly "go bad"... Friedcat, for instance, was an anonymous person out of China that launched ASICMINER, and for a couple of years proved to be a trustworthy steward of his clients investment. Then he launched AMHASH, a cloud mining service, and in just a short time disappeared with his investors dividends, and quite possibly the hardware as well.

Story: http://www.btcreporter.com/2015/03/04/mystery-in-bitcoinland-the-disappearance-of-friedcat/

So again. Hold your bitcoins and be safe. The world of Bitcoin investments is basically the wildwest right now, and you're far more likely to lose it all than you are to earn a small return on your coins.

I'm also looking for a decent way to get profit with btc. still its looks very risky.

This is the same as asking for free money, which does not exist. Even when investing with Fiat money, your money have a risk of being lost.

The best way to invest your bitcoin is to start a business that deals with the currency and focus think outside the box how you can improve on it.

No it's not. Investing provides a future for some. If someone makes 100 btc when they are 12 and invest it until he is 22.
The price would have gone up and his amount of Bitcoin would have risen. Yes it's "free money" but investing has been around for decades.

agree with you bro
can you tell me some legit way and secure way to grow(increase) my bitcoins?

Nothing yet bro. I wish someone would open up something. A group of skilled traders that take our money and give a decent return / year or month.

Yeah me too want that.
do you know about btc-e pamm?
ever tried tht?

Can't say I have. Do they have an investment feature?

its something like that
PAMM means our account will follow the same trading strategy like professional doing i think automatically.but i haven't tried it

Well ,it would be hard to trust anyone claiming to be a skilled trader. best thing to do is not trust a third party with your bitcoins.

You can try the new PACMiC product of Hashnest.com, which is running by Bitmain. It is a way to share the mining gain with Bitmain, and the payout is very fast.

You need to sign up with Bitmain and then you can see the detail of this product.

The risk for PACMiC is very very low, but not risk free.

Yeah that's right. But maybe one day someone will show up and build up reputation and end up being the best investment. And will have no competition.

THIS WEBSITE BEEN WORKING FOR ME...

https://www.greencoincash.com/

There is always a bit or risk when investing online... The only thing you can control is the amount of risk.

there is no risk free way to invest bitcoin

even if a site is very legit, with real person, document, real office, registered company, a great portfolio, there isnt a risk free
because the value of bitcoins itself is very fluctuative, so bear in mind that bitcoin could be someday , worthless  ::) ::)

You can invest without the risk of the company leaving with the money if it is your company.

it wasn't funny..try something better next time lol

Investing exists and it has it risk, for example if you start a business with a positive ROI over years you can lose the business because you didn't have a good client flow,etc.. Many people who have invested have lost money.. Reading investopedia might be good for starters. It's never risk free.

Would if you invest in something like Allan Gray. They promise a return / month. There is no way you can make a loss. It is just an investment.
You can make a loss if you trade like pennies / shares. But I sorta get what you are saying.

"Risk free investments are only those of 2-5% anually ;).. this is bitcoin.

Many/most people who are really good at trading do not need clients, since it is much easier and more profitable to trade for yourself.
One legit exception would be someone who wants seed money for a larger trading fund, but the best traders can often find ways to do-it-themselves.
Even if you find a perfect situation with an honest person it is not risk free.

then whats the way to increase our bitcoins or earn some bitcoins without invest?

There is nothing known as "Risk free investment.'' With investment comes risk. Every business/investment has it's own risk. And that one guy who said that ''investing on your own company is risk free.'' This is also NOT TRUE. If your OWN company starts to fall down you will start losing your investment too.

Bitcoin with never become worthless for me since I had fun, and learned many exciting new things.  :)

Investing always includes risk. That's part of investment, bitcoins or not. And quite frankly, there's a LOT more risk involved trying to invest with Bitcoins.

If an investment did not impose any risks, this would mean that everybody could use that "trick" to get "free" money, right? Sounds like a pyramid scheme...  ;D

If you want to get interest, you have to give you bitcoin to others.
Do you really want to do this?
It's very risk.

hi, i rarely post here..but i got a business idea how we literally can make risk free money.

the business idea is we form a couple of investor

then use the bitcoin make a real legit escrow website/starting a company

since theres so many scam related with bitcoin, i guess there are also plenty of demand with user needed to transfer/trade their bitcoin without getting scam

so ppl will put btc in our company as escrow, then we charge a bit of fees

after customer done with their btc related business, we release the btc to seller (after deduct a bit fees). done

so thats how we make money with btc..what do you think?

Get something done for Bitcoin (http://www.reddit.com/r/Jobs4Bitcoins/) - the only risk  is that you've wasted your time.

Do you know that Bitcoin itself is a risky investment???
Then how is it possible that it might be free of risks to invest them ahead in some other things???

I think you described the established escrow process well.  And you think you're going to attract investors and make money doing this how?

I always had good luck with btcjam.com

Blockchain.info recommends them. But I never tried it. Didn't find it user friendly.

Came on here to say "no", decided to take a look at this website. Seems like a good idea, I just invested some of my btc to loan out. Hope all goes well.

escrow company make money by charging a fees, thats all about it. but this kind of venture needs some capital and marketing expense

actually bitcoin was risk free, for early adopters, and someone else(instaminer with altcoin for example)

many user(not talking about stolen coins) have got btc with very little effort, they got plenty of btc.

Risk free is buy your coins at a lower value and hold them or go grab some alt coins and take some small risks on their value. Or go doge coin and buy  bulk and when it goes up by a few satoshi get a nice return.

Bitfinex and its swap program is relatively risk free.

Risk free is a bit exagerated, it is low risk.

Nothing is "risk free". Any investment could randomly collapse, no such thing as 100% safe. But HYIPS are not the way to go if your looking to be safe, the large interest looks nice and tempts you but remember would you rather have 104% or 0% in your wallet at the end of the day.
Btcjam.com is pretty safe if you know what you are doing.

Try buying physical bitcoins. Here is ten company's that sell physical bitcoins
http://www.coindesk.com/10-physical-bitcoins-good-bad-ugly/

That is a great why to invest in bitcoins! I just bought a coin for the cheapest price around and it already went up by $40! The coin costed $100 and is worth around $160 now.

No, investments are always a bit risky. But if you invest today buying BTC and secure them in a cold wallet, I believe price will rise in next years, if you look at the big picture.

well i have seen btcjam.com but is it a scam waiting to be happen ? i mean one can never really trust any website i think look at mt.gox and it was just a exchange .. if you are giving bitcoin just for investment think what they can do with it .. i wonder

It doesn't work very good with bitcoins. First, bitcoin transaction confirmations on the network can take long time (up to one hour), and there are few exchanges that will be happy with just one confirmation (usually they require three or more), so the arbitrage opportunity may be lost, and instead of profit you actually may incur losses. Second, if you hold your money at an exchange (so as not to wait for deposits), you expose yourself to a higher risk of the exchange running away with your funds...

+1 arbitrage is not always good, too risky today (my opinion).

Hey man,

Unfortunately there is no risk free way to invest your bitcoins and if there was that would not be the best of rewards at the end strictly speaking, the moment you brought into bitcoin you took a huge risk which shows you are either willing to take the risk or you never knew what the risk was.

Sounds like you are looking for a bitcoin bank and this you probably should not be doing within bitcoin we are own banks and our funds are our  funds they will not be loaned to someone else at interest so then you receive interest theu are just stored by yourself.

The best thing i can think of is you could loan btc out to people who have collateral, there is risk to it but not much if you always use collateral.

Good luck 

Nothing is RISK FREE. Nothing. The closest you'll ever find is savings at a bank, so long as you have less than $250,000, the nominal amount that you have will stay the same or increase, whether that keeps up with inflation or not is a different story, though. But any further out on the risk spectrum, and you're assuming some risk. Could be a little, could be a lot.

But in bitcoin, it unfortunately doesn't take too many steps out on the risk spectrum to end up with your coins in the hands of scammers. Or even in a legit operation that doesn't have its security up to snuff.

No.  If it was risk-free everyone would do it ..

If it indeed was riskfree, the rate would be close to zero on returns.

hehe , your 100000% right ! , cool photo btw ! , nice niec :)
so my opinion same as karartma1

There is not risk free. Not only in bitcoin. Risk free doesn't exist.

Yup, even your life doesn't have risk free
I mean, everything in this world have risk...

If you mean lower risk change
They do exist...

But it's doesn't mean you won't get a risk
So, if you want to invest some Bitcoins...
You need to trust your investment (and make sure it's not a ponzi or things like that) ;)

Hey,
i Think you can invest in the dice games it will give you sure returns but also fluctuating returns with very low rate.
Best method to increase the bitcoins without losing them unless the site goes away with your coins which is not possible cause they are earning profits.
 ~KP

I think there isnt any risk free investment, but best investments
are in gambling ,because gamblers mostly lose

Best investments are always the most risky, like you said gambling and hyips which are more of an investment. I myself would not trust any investments on this forum, huge scam rate here.

RISK FREE? No, when you buy btc, it is a risky action!

Every speculation and investment is all risky, imagine a guy who bought btc in 1000 USD per coin, and he wanna find a risk free way to invest btc.

And now btc is 2XX USD, unless he finds a 4X method to increase btc, or he is lost in fiat.

Hoard is not good because pumpers and dumpers are controlling the market, we have to do some dangerous trading. >:(

I'd like to add that an investment is trusting someone else with your money and then receiving profits from it. So there is ALWAYS a chance that they will not be able to pay you back. Even a bank could get shut down and then not be able to pay you back your interest.

Would be hard to do. All had risk.
Why do not you sell it when the price is higher and make the purchase when the price down and do it repeatedly.

Short answer is no. If there were, many people would do it and earn infinite amount of bitcoins. But there are many ways to invest bitcoin with a Small Risk. You could, invest in a bankroll of a dice site, usually dice sites win due to their house edge. Some trusted ones are bitdice, justdice, and dadice. You could also invest your bitcoins in a cloud mining company. Beware of cloudmining companies though, right now the price of bitcoin is fairly low and some (cex.io, zenminer) have shut down because of it. But on the other hand, bit-x and scrypt.cc(still testing this one out) are still up and running. Please read carefully before you invest any of your bitcoins !!!

There is absolutely no RISK FREE thing in the whole universe. One thing is sure: things went crazy at some point. Let's think on bitcoin as an asset, it has value, when you "invest" it, what you actually do is to exchange that value for another thing than BTC, in the hope of making profits. Profit is the result of a transaction, so one has to find the right opportunity to exchange value, in a way that both parts win or have a benefit from it.

I recommend you to document yourself on how to invest wisely, basically: how to jump in/out at the right time. That is a sense you have to develop and will get stronger as you put your brain to work. And don't forget to enjoy the process, stress will not help at all.

Yes there is a way to make interest on your bitcoins.
See this thread below:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1003532.msg10895230#msg10895230

I don't think it's risk free as rarely anything is but if you think it's worth it, then give it a shot.

Nothing is risk free , however you can minimise it by some knowledge . I would recommend you to invest in localbitcoins with a formula including bitstamp rate . You can copy that from top members.

How do you invest in localbitcoins ? If you mean by trading on there then thats not really investing as you will still have to put in a lot of work on it.

1.Find a few unregistered securities (brokers/dealers) in the U.S.
2.Find out who's behind it
3.Report unregistered securities to the SEC
4.Get an award from the SEC (highest award was $30,000,000)
5.Invest in Bitcoins

There is no such thing as a RISK FREE investment in any economy.  Youa re relying on others to complete actions, so if they do not complete them, than you get no return.  No such thing as 100% when investing.   :'( :'( :'(

If you ever find one that isn't a ponzi scheme, i wanna see it.

Exactly what I said before. EVERY single investment is risky, no matter what. Banks are seen as no chance of crashing, but at any time they could decide to run away, its VERY improbable but its likely. Its even worst with investment services. Even in the real world if the stock market does porrly your investment advisors might get you a loss which is still a risk and its still a legitimate company.

well, some people don't care about the fiat value of bitcoin. in a way buying bitcoin is risk free if fiat value is not important to you.
but for most people that isn't the case.

Exactly,
There was a quote on here saying that "bitcoin has succeeded when we start thinking of things in price of btc, and not the btc price in cad).
1 btc purchased 5 years ago is the same amount and did not change since then, we still have the 1btc. If bitcoin succeeds, we will always be thinking of how our coffee costs 0.002 btc, and we don't have to convert it to know the value, we just know cofees cost 0.002

All investments carry some degree of risk. Bitcoin is riskier than some *because* it is unregulated. Except
for some extreme instances (e.g. Mt. Gox and others) there is little recourse if someone scams you in the
crypto 'verse.

Bitcoin = Risk

There is no risk free investments. At all.
Every investment carry a level of risk.

First, there is always risk.  No Risk=No Reward.

Second,  I will assume that you mean getting interest in bitcoin, on bitcoin because there is no controlling the fiat price. 

I personally like arbitrage.  There is still risk though because whatever you are arbitraging, you still need to hold for a while.  There is the risk.  A well run lending (service/process/club) would be the safest assuming they are a well run, legitimate group (company, whetever).   If those aren't out there yet, they are being built as we speak.

This might be worth a look for some of you as a way to get some BTC with no risk:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1020151.msg11046390#msg11046390

I dont think that is the free risk to get bitcoin. Every things that you do must contain risk and without any risk you can't get more. Here in bitcoin I just can suggest to minimalize your risk and play safe or may be if you really want the safest way get faucet altough I dont recommend it because it tired to click captcha and it is wasting time and it is not worth though

Everything has risks associated with it. You risk losing money, your time, and sometimes your sanity. Risk is especially high with Bitcoin (even higher in alts ). The key is to minimize those risks as much as possible without lowering potential gains too much.

If someone tells you that this is safe, or that is safe, don't believe him. This sector is too new for anything to be safe. Even the largest Bitcoin companies can close their doors any time (don't forget MtGox).

The best way to minimize your risk is to always do your homework, spread out your investments (diversification), remain vigilant.

Good luck.

I think there's no one any invest have RISK FREE. Every bitcoin that u invest there's always some risk.
Because when u buy bitcoin itself its already RISK, the price u buy on bitcoin always increase and decrease.
The one is no RISK is maybe Faucets  ;D.
No RISK and FREE.

Well in a capitalist market which include bitcoin in it, there is no risk free investmen although there are the low risk ones, but as you might expect the lower the risk the lower the rewards or bigger the time for a meaningful profit..
