Title: If you had $150 of Bitcoins what method would you use to increase it?
Post by: Arkazle on August 03, 2015, 02:51:31 PM
Hey all,

Lets look at the scenario:

You have just been sent around 0.5 BTC by your friend (I haven't). Your job is to increase your wallet stack...how would you go about investing/gaining your funds in the short term.

Please don't comment "Hold on to your bitcoins and wait" thats boring.

Examples:

- Would you dice/satoshi mine some of your coins for profit?
- Faucet for a few cents?
- Buy altcoins (For a couple days and trade if the satoshi price goes up?

Let me know what you would do!

What's the holders risk appetite?

If I look at the things you've said, it's someone who likes to "gamble"... I'd take my chances with some decent altcoins.
Spread out portfolio and wait, or try daytrading.

Will suggest you to buy Altcoins or Gamble carefully !
both the above two require high attention and often people regret but they are really good for making fast money .

Well the best you can do is daily trading, but that isn't for the common guy.
If money was easy, everybody would be rich and then nobody would be rich, remember that.

Gamble carefully
There's no such thing as gamble carefully. Gambling was made to the owner of the "casino" to win money, not you. Most people only lose from it.

Well I would take the boring route and hold it, but if I had to do something with it I'd put it on an exchnage and sell it when it's high and buy back when its low.

Cash them out or buy some altcoins.

i think these are the best ways to reduce your bitcoins not grow it

i would recommend to buy potential activity forum accounts post a little bit and then sell it for bigger price

I'd advise you (or the person in your scenario) to HODL. Yeah it's boring but it's less risky than trading or gambling imo. The price is pretty low imo, this time next year a HODLERS stash will be worth more than it is today therefore HODLING is a good way to increase your bitcoin worth.

Post by: Amph on August 03, 2015, 03:16:23 PM
if i could follow another way, this would be to invest my time instead it would be better, i prefer to not touch money to generate other money, to minimize any risk, especially if you're not a prob in traading or poker if you want

gambling is even worse and i do not like it at all, faucets would be a good option if you can code a bot that resolve catpcha for you using website with their api

the last option remain mining altcoin(maybe some instamine is still possible you need to look for it), because mining bitcoin is less feasible due to high hashrate that you need to earn soemthing decent

There's no such thing as gamble carefully. Gambling was made to the owner of the "casino" to win money, not you. Most people only lose from it.

You could limit yourself to certain losses monthly, thats "carefully gambling" but true, there's no way to realistically be careful about gambling.

OP your only chances to make more money off already existing money is probably trading, buying cheap, selling later. Pick your alts and go for it. This is within itself gambling, but if you pick the right coins after some research you may make some money.

You can also try lending money, but I have no idea how this works yet. Everyone talks about BTCJam but a lot of people say they lost money, so this also feels like a gamble..

-> This is the best alternative! If chances are any altcoin might hit the bittrex market make sure you buy that coin at yobit because later you can sell it at much higher price in bittrex if it goes to bittrex :)

Bitcoin or altcoin trading would be the best option here
Gambling or loan bitcoin could give you decent profit, but it's too dangerous

Faucet, Ponzi, HYIP & "investment" are out of question

Mostly , I will buy some altcoin and trade for it everyday.
But sometimes luck can be happen for certain people, so there are might a chance to get profit from gambling

Don't gamble, chances are against you.  You want something where the ods are in your favor.  

If you want to trade alt coins for profit, I strongly suggest paper trading for a week or two.  But that isnt really the same thing as actually trading, but it should give you a general idea.  Is it possible to make money alt coin trading?  Yeah, but many people get burned so I can't recommend it as a sure way to make money.  Read the forums in the alt coin section, and whatever you do stay away from ico's until you know what you are doing.

You can also look in to hashnest if you want, it is the best paying legit cloud miner that I know of.  Most of the other cloud miners are supposed to be ponzis, so be careful.

Other than that, yeah hold it and buy more as you can afford to would be my suggestion.  I think btc is on the rise, so investing fiat into it should be a good way to increase your wealth, even if you are not actually increasing your amount of btc.

my suggestion would be to invest in gambling websites to earn small profits or to do altcoin trading, though it can be really risky as it is like pure gambling, i personally would just keep it safe in my wallet

Thanks for the responses everyone I appreciate it. My story:

Yesterday I bought 0.1 bitcoins and lost 1/3rd of the BTC playing Satoshi Mines (a stupid idea).

I then thought I'd have a go at PrimeDice with some of the remaining BTC and made a silly strategy which really only worked when I used VPN and kept changing the seed. Luckily I turned $5 into another 0.1, from there I deposited an additional $7 and generated a grand total of 0.333 BTC.

I woke up this morning in excitement ready to play again and make a whole 1 BTC (ridiculous). I have lost $25 today on dicing and now have around 0.25 BTC left.

DICE IF YOU CAN AFFORD TOO!

Examples:

- Would you dice/satoshi mine some of your coins for profit?

¤ You can't win in the long run. You can win some games but if you think you could earn more money from gambling than you invest in - you are wrong.

- Faucet for a few cents?

¤ As you said - faucets - at bes can give you only a few cents. If you spent lifetime leaching hundreds of them you won't get anything.

- Buy altcoins (For a couple days and trade if the satoshi price goes up?

¤ Actually this a valid suggestion. Trading of altcoin or day trading, arbitrage etc. are the best way to earn additional coins.
Of course you have to know what you are doing first. It is not as simple as clicking 'roll on a dice site.

A decent method in growing your bitcoin is to invest in the house of a trustworthy gambling site. It'll take time but your bitcoin should slowly grow as the site brings in more money, and then you can cash out whenever you feel like it. Other than that I'd recommend just holding, because most securities in the bitcoin world end up being scams.

It depends on your style :), if you are a risk taker and want to increase it in the fastest way so you can gamble it on dice site in 1 roll, just do all in your btc in 2-3x multiplier and hope you are lucky to win it. But if you want to increase it slow but sure, perhaps trading it to alt-coin is the best and profitable way. Of course you need to do some researches before trading.

Gambling is the worst way ever to increase your stack. Sure it can work for a few bets, but buy then you are probably too addicted to the profits to stop and you end up losing it all..

Signature campaign, and the service boards are your friend!

trading altcoin is little risky when you don't know about the entry and exit point, it requires good knowledge for it to keep you in good profit by this way so if you think you are good in this than you can make good profit by trading altcoins.

hmmmm altcoin prices can fluctuate as much as BTC but can potentially crash faster, its good to be aware of the altcoin u choose by viewing its price history over time and from there you can decide whtehr its worth it or not. Alternatively you can just enter exchanges for BTCUSD etc. Trading is a great idea but needs experience and a lot of learning

i will always avoid gambling ( since im not a lucky guy ) and mining ALT coins, from my point of view they are not profitable ( not at least for me because of the expensives power consumption cost )

if i had $150 of Bitcoins and im searching for a way to increased it i will go for trading or maybe buy some PoS coins, for me both are good chooise.

I think the best way to increase this amount, or any other amount is by investing, not in Ponzi schemes of course, nor in HYIP, because most likely the majority of this programs are scammers, but you can buy altcoins, or goods, services and sell it then with good prices, you can make faucet and earn by ads, and if you re lucky you can gamble for some of this amount and may be you get good profit

Hoe about getting a job on the side for the hours you would waste trying to increase your holdings and using part of your wage to increase your bitcoin holdings?

This is sure to increase your holdings without any risk at all, with the same amount of time spent.

Few people can do this to be honest, at least in lots of countries the minimum wage is just not enough to be able to substantially do dollar cost average (or whatever currency your country uses). Im lucky that I can save 100 or 200 monthly and buy 0.5 or almost 1 but it's still very slow, if I had any less money it would take ages just to buy a BTC. I think trading beats everything if you can do a good one. Maidsafe is my pick for the next months to double my stack with.

Increasing your wealth having only $150 initial funds is hard. It is unfortunate because to gain more, you need more, and with that little money your progress won't be impressive. That is, if you try to multiply your money carefully without risking it. I think somewhat  safe route is lend this money with interest.

Exactly this. Even if you make the most amazing investment decisions and you end up being successful, you won't gain much since it's only 0.5 BTCs. Where should you invest it, I am not really sure, I am currently against any investment in the Bitcoin space. There are just no good options available at the moment.

If some of my friends just sent me 150$ and i want to increase it then i would go for sports betting and trading with altcoins
i can gamble with that money occasionally..i wouldn't make any investments though because investments are risky and sometimes can not be safe..
By sports betting i will either win or lose but betting is based on skills and that's why i guess it can be the safe way to increase the bitcoins ;)

I agree that $150 of BTC is a very small amount.

I cannot really subscribe to any gambling or game of chance - even though bitcoin could be characterized as such.

At this point, however, if you have been studying BTC, there seems to be a considerable battle going on , and really the BTC price seems quite bottomed out.

I have been accumulating BTC for nearly two years, since the top of the last bubble, so I may NOT be the best person in the world to be following.

Since my overall BTC portfolio is in the red, I have recently devised ways to divide my portfolio into three parts, and then in the near future, I will be able to trade parts of the portfolio because theoretically, that portion of the portfolio will go sufficiently in the black in accordance with my trade parameters.

I am NOT sure if my method will make me rich or cause me to accumulate more BTC and some of them at a lower cost or to trade the ups and downs....but NONETHELESS, I am currently of the opinion that I have devised a plan that will allow me to 1) trade a portion of my BTC 2) mostly HODL BTC in case the price goes up  3) take advantage of likely ongoing BTC price volatility, 4) both continue to accumulate BTC while hedging portions of my BTC portfolio NO matter the direction of BTC short-term price moving (assuming that BTC prices will go up in the long term).

I am NOT much of a gambler, yet I believe that my way forward plan is less boring than a strict buy and HODl plan, even though my current plan retains some buy and HODL features.

Trading would be your best option to grow your $150 worth of Bitcoins, you may wan't to push your luck in Gambling but its 50/50 that you gain profit on that so better set a limit before staking your coins in gambling. Buying Alt coins is a good option as well.

I would suggest altcoin trading, if you spend some time on the exchanges and in the altcoin threads you might  be able to make a nice profit.  If you find the right coin at the right time you can increase your Bitcoin.  I would not put the whole 0.5 into one coin, spreadin it a bit would make more sense.  You can also lose it all with these coins but I think you will have more fun then rollimg a some dice.

If this is your main account then I guess you could use these Bitcoins you have to buy a Senior or Hero member account and enroll into signature compaigns , and you should make profit after a  while if you are a high quality and quantity poster .
However I don't recommend you to gamble (dice or Satoshimines or whatever) , I never do because you will become greedy and you will lose them all at the end , Or if investing them into Bitcointalk account dosen't fits you then i RECOMMEND you to hold them becuase bitcoin it self is an investement however it's for long term .

The best way to increase this small amount is to invest in some other cryptocurrency which has upward trend.Gambling is not secure way as loosing is more sure than return with some profit.I will trade some altcoin and then convert my earnings into bitcoin again.

I'd gamble on Sports betting, I don't know whether or not I'll be able to increase it but that's where I would try my luck. Right now there aren't many safe investment options for BTC since you just can't trust the companies for they might run away with your funds and trading altcoins etc. require a good bit of knowledge and experience and if holding is out of the question then the only thing that comes to my mind is to bet on sports, you can play safe, bet on favorites and increase it slowly without taking too many risks.

Some altcoins have been good to me, some not so much.  They're certainly a bit of a gamble, but less so than casino-style gambling and dice type games.  Mostly, I'd just say don't put the whole amount in.  Just trade some of it.  Also, if you're day trading, spread your funds over several exchanges in case one of them has any issues.  Never put all your eggs in one basket.

If you wanna quick growth gambling, bets can be an option.But risk to lose everything or most is quite high.
Your choice buddy.

Buy some litecoin (5$ or so to begin with). Sell if they go up or buy some more (in 5$ increments) if they go down, say, more than 10%. Sell them when you have a profit.

It is risky, yes. But litecoin is not likely to sink much, and that way you can profit from its ups and downs.

I have two methods to turn it into 1500 USD.

Quick way (Unsafe): Day trade potential Altcoin. If you do it right, you can earn a lot of money from it.

Slow way (Safe): Build a website (maybe a faucet) can give out Bitcoin for free. Within half a year you should be getting back your money.

Bonus: Buy and hold Bitcointalk account.

Hey all,

Lets look at the scenario:

You have just been sent around 0.5 BTC by your friend (I haven't). Your job is to increase your wallet stack...how would you go about investing/gaining your funds in the short term.

Please don't comment "Hold on to your bitcoins and wait" thats boring.

Examples:

- Would you dice/satoshi mine some of your coins for profit?
- Faucet for a few cents?
- Buy altcoins (For a couple days and trade if the satoshi price goes up?

Let me know what you would do!

I would choose the riskier way to grow my bitcoins, which is investing on hyip sites or should I say ponzi sites ;D I like taking risks and quick profit though everyone won't recommend it

When I have such a small amount then I have just two option to increase them first is to buy some digital currency which one is being traded with good value or to go for second option to gamble with this amount.There are always some risks involved too when you try to increase your money anywhere.

Well, if you talking about the amount in USD. I'll just wait til the price increase, cos the amount will also increased.
But if you're talking about the amount in the BTC itself, well I will probably do some trading for increase it.

There is no riskless investment. If you want to double your money, no matter what you choose it will be a risk, that you may lose more than you can earn.

Regularly the best thing you can do to increase your bitcoins is not investing them into risky scenarios.
You probably should just hold onto the coins you have and invest whatever extra money you have into them.
Optionally you can also enter a signature campaign and earn a good amount whenever you have the extra time to post!
If you're the risky type you can go hop on a Slots game at a casino, play 10-lines with minimum bet.. It always seems to profit for me like that, but that's not a guarantee just a gut feeling I get! (Until I lose all my bitcoins)

say NO TO DICE, i will choose trading, buy some altcoin in redline ( super lower price )
and sell it with 20-30 % profit :)

better take smaller profit than take high risk

I've been extremely interested in transferring some of my BTC into alts recently because of seeing them blow-up in prices .
It would not be a bad investment to pick your favorite new alt-coin, do some research and make sure it's not a pump and dump and invest a little bit !

Saving your bitcoins in cold-storage for price jumps has proven to be the most effective for those who had the idea 2-years+ ago.

if you trader at forex and stock you can try use huobi it's similliar like forex (not all), u can use leverage system
altcoin trader is very diffirent with forex, the risk is higher because dev can run away anytime

I guess I could trade it or I could gamble it. Betting on the right games could make you some good profits but it also can take it all in a blink of an eye. Be very
careful with both options

I see you're advertising for a gambling site. Surely you're familiar with how it works, then? The "edge" mentioned in your ad? That tells you how much you'll statistically be losing. In systematic gambling against a random number generator biased in the house's favour, there is no winning. Only losing. Don't play.
