Then please tell me, why do you ask if it's so obvious?

no ,lol ,you should accumulate as many as you can ..............
wtf is wrong with people thesedays ?

I would say you keep on holding the bitcoin. You will earn more than 10% of interest per month with this storage period. You anyway want 0.8 to 1.0% of profit and holding only will give you more than 10% profit which is thus ten times higher than your expectation. There will big drop in price but be patient as bitcoin will keep rising until the end of 2018 for sure. So you can try this risk free option. 

My data directory is only using 26 MB ATM. If you want to conserve space, you can put this in your conf file I believe.


Where n is the number OF MB you want to limit the data storage to.

Good, I recommend you should try Byteball soon, after distribute the price of Byteball usually rising up and you will take double profit with holding Byteball + some Byteball from distribute

Correct. forget all the people talking shit about icos.

These coins have to distribute themselves somehow and they've chosen to do it based on bitcoin holdings.

 Hurry with byeball. You got 4 days link your bitcoin through the byteball wallet. The stellar one is based on a blockchain snapshot on june 26th. Can't remember the bitcore details.

In my opinion, you should closely follow the news.

There are three possible scenarios:
1) Segwit2x succeeds. Then you have nothing to fear and you can keep your Bitcoins where you want (in your wallet or on an exchange), although some here don't like that solution. You can track the adoption on http://coin.dance/blocks. However, be warned that the transition is a bit complicated - what now is showing up as "Segwit2x support" is only an informal "signalling" without consequences. It gets interesting around July 21 when signalling for BIP91 begins. If BIP91 gets rapidly to over 80%, then Segwit2x is basically through.
2) Segwit2x fails, but BIP148 gets more than 50% of the hashrate. This may be a possible outcome if Craig Wright decides to block Segwit. In this case, most probably we will have two chains: the Segwit chain and the legacy chain, and maybe the often-cited "Chinacoin" if Bitmain releases a big-block chain. However, if BIP148 has majority support, I think you are safe on that chain because it most probably will have most of support from Core and the users and price should recover fast after some turbulences. Still, I would recommend you to transfer your coins to a real wallet before August 1, so you can sell also your "Chinacoins" if you want once both chains are cleanly separated.
3) Segwit2x fails, and BIP148 fails, too. This scenario is the most bearish of all, because we will have uncertainty which chain is the longest, and very probably the Bitmain fork will take place and even get some support. In this case, I would chose fiat. How to know if that will happen? Simply look if on http://coin.dance/blocks Segwit2x support goes under 70% and at the same time on http://www.uasf.co/ less than 20-25% are signalling for BIP148 (actually, it's about 10%).

it's very simple. there is nowhere risk free to invest your bitcoins.

there are ways to capitalise on your bitcoin holdings for free with alts.

bitcore, stellar and byteball all give you free coins based on your bitcoin balance based on certain dates the blockchain is recorded. sign a message with your addresses and you get free coins you can keep or dump.

with 40 btc you should get about over 1 btc worth of alts with those coins.

way better return than any bullshit investment.

ico are the most remunerative now if you can invest a tiny % you can get an idea, try tezos, is a new ico and look very promising, dev behind is competent

otherwise the only rosk free is mining altcoin, never lost anything there and made tons of btc with pow coin, you can always sell back your gpu

Shouldn't you be happy that bitcoin finally scales, though?

UASF is supposed to be a solution to the current issues with bitcoin not able to scale, and high transaction fees. So after august 1st, if the soft fork goes well then id say that bitcoin price will actually increase as a result of people abel to use it for micropayments again.

Obviously there is the risk of a hard fork happening, and it is likely that some sort of hard fork will be implemented. I really don't think that it's going to make much of a difference because in the end there will be one distinct winner out of the 2 forks, and the amount of time two forks are running simultaneously together is small. Hold your bitcoin, i'd say. Don't sell now because it is likely we'll retest $3000 soon, and if you want to sell, sell then when price is close to or above $3000.

I do not believe you but if you did have that amount and a split in the blockchain happens after August 1 then your Bitcoins double in amount. You can sell your coins in the dying chain and continue to hold the rest in the surviving chain. Or it could happen like Ethereum and 2 chains survive. You profit whichever way.

Hold.

There are no investment that are risk free, all investment does carries certain risk and that is how some people got richer or lost everything they have, maybe you could take a look into crypto-currency trading, using a small portion of your bitcoins to trade into other altcoins might be profitable in the long term with good trades executed, ethereum might be a good alternative to look into.

Op, why do you care about petty0.8% when you just by holding your coins you have earned something like 160% since last year?
Holding is the safest option for everyone - considered volatile nature of bitcoin and instability of Bitcoin related services.
Would you risk depositing your coins to some online 'bank' and as result lose access to your coins?

Risk free how about donating some coins, you will get risk free blessings. Good thing is you have it in paper wallet and Bitcoin is itself a investment I would advise you not to invest anywhere hold the coins. But if you insist then put it in freebitco.in they give yearly interest of 4.08%. So For 40BTC DAILY INTEREST 0.00438356 BTC MONTHLY INTEREST (30d) 0.13171598 BTC YEARLY INTEREST (365d) 1.63220235 BTC that's the best and safest way. Investment subject to site being active.
