Don't look too far and just invest in bitcoin itself.  If you have a decent capital then the bigger the profits.  It's not too late to buy some btcs these days as they will increase more in the future.

Then coinbase is for you. Its not a good wallet for me but it is definitely the best place to buy bitcoins., You just need to verify your account.

If you want a better rates you can try buying peer to peer just use an escrow service or visit various trading sites and compare their prices.

Yes signature campaign can be not the way to earn 1 btc in a month but it can be one of the ways yo earn it.  So what I mean is to do multitasking,  Pick at least

three ways that you can handle and start calcuting your income, Its better to make a plan or your schedule to make sure that you will earn it. Trading is good but

you should avoid gambling because it is to risky you might lose your whole capital.  Gambling is not a way to earn just use it for entertainment.

Since you already know that the majority of cloud minings are scams then why even bother putting an effort to know if its legit or not?

Let me give you a reason why? Because you can't know if they really have a mining hardware or not and there is no guarantee that they will not run away with your

money. Just avoid them and start looking for a different way to earn bitcoins. 

First you should make an announcement thread in the gambling section.

And for the signature campaign,  You can also be the one who manages your campaign but the campaign will run smoothly and will put people at ease if you hire

an escrow/campaign manger. There are many experienced managers here like yahoo.  For their services,  It will be better to ask your chosen manager instead.

Also avoid hiring newbies in yout campaign as they are the most spammer here.  You can view the list of signature campaigns here for reference and the list of

members who make logos, banners and signatures here in service discussion.

First you should know its risks so you should ony trade an amount that you can afford to lose. Lets say the bigger the amount the higher the risks.

If you're looking for a site then Poloniex is for you.  It is good for newbies and even some veterans still uses it.

Reading articles and books about trading can also help you but practical skills will be best when improving your trades.

Yes almost all who is a bitcoin user will probably accept it as a payment but the problem is there are too few who knows bitcoin in my country and it id also the

same for some people. So I suggest that you should let the people know that you're accepting bitcoin for payment and you should also ready a short introduction

about it for newbies, This is also to spread bitcoin awareness that's why what OP has done is a great thing and a small step towards bitcoins popularity.

First you should view that persons trust and post history.  If its red trusted or a newbie,  don't transact with that member.

Always be wary of newbies as they are the ones who mostly scam people and be sure to always use an escrow for every transaction.

And be sure to analyze what they are offering to you. If its something with a high commission or something that make you wonder on how can they make profits

with their offers are mostly scam

Since OP is looking for a safe way then keeping bitcoins and wait for the price to increase might be the best choice but one should know that it has its risk too,  

Its just that it is less risky compared to others.  Op also stated that he has a .5 btc to grow but I doubt that it is enough to buy a mining hardware and its not that

good because it will increase your electricity bill.  Op should just try trading btc to fiat or altcoin trading instead

This quote is so great that every trader or people who wants to trade must remember this because it speaks the reality that all traders has lost a one or two in trading.

That's why it is important to know that losing is a part of trading and those who won't take its risks will not succeed.  

This thing called fear are also often experienced by traders and to lessen this, Why not just trade with small amounts?

Actually, Every time is a good time to buy bitcoins, Considering that it is increasing timely so the sooner the better.


Yes there are many temptations out there that's why sometimes we can't help spending  it however if you truly have a goal you will sacrifice that short period of pleasure for your goal to be realized and successful. So just throw away your not so productive desires and just hold onto your coins because it has a higher chance to be profitable


Yeah it will be better to just buy with your spare money because this is a investment it has its risks so if you don't have that spare money you gotta earn it yourself.
Well its an investment you chose so its a common thing that you will believe its profitable. 

Lending is great,  With just a right collateral I think it will be good because you just have to sell this collateral if he can't pay right?

And the reason why this sites are having a problem is because they just provide documents not collaterals.

OP should also try builiding a gambling site, online shop, exchanger (altcoin and fiat) or bitcoin debit cards

Yes our laws is effective no matter what happens so it is obvious that you might spend your life behind the bars if you engaging yourself in illegal activities.


Not all government,  Some of them even ban the use of bitcoin in their country or is being regulated there and many of them still doesn't recognized bitcoin as another form of money. Even if some government doesn't give a care of the use of bitcoin it doesn't mean they're giving it freedom they just simply don't care because its a small portion.  Who know if there will be a massive popularity of it the government might regulate it or give 'em tax

If you're a beginner it is a wise decision to take your time studying stuffs related to bitcoin rather than rushing things and putting your coins in a high risk situation.

But you really cant earn bitcoins unless you spend them so you have to risk it unless you have a services to offer.


If it's online shop,  You can use purse.io to buy on amazon and shopawl to buy in aliexpress.  They're one of the popular online shops I'm sure you will have a wide variety of choices.

If its offline shop,  the best you can do is just convert your bitcoins to your local currency to convert them.


Just trade it to your local currency peer to peer and you will have no problems regarding documents jusr use an escrow service to be safe.

Funny seeing this when bitcoins price is $700+ and still growing HAHAHA.

This just proves that bitcoin is worth keeping for a long term. Sorry for your lost OP, You had the opportunity in your front but you never grabbed it.

Even though you're lucky because you discovered bitcoin so early than me

Yes because bitcoin is just a medium,  It can't help anyone unless someone uses it to. 

For example us,  Because of bitcoins we have an online job here that helps us financially,  But it's not entirely bitcoins fault because we ourselves,  just took

advantage of it, We use it. So definitely bitcoin can help this poor countries who doesn't know how to use the internet if somebody will use it to help.

Yes putting that large amount of money into a single investment is not a wise decision.  Better split up the money for different investment.

Just pick at least three you think will be profitable and after that you will gonna decide how much money will you put on each of your chosen investments .

It is also nice to split them apart equally but I'd suggest that the higher the chance that you think an investment is profitable then the capital must also be.

If I were you I'd go with 50% For bitcoin keeping,  30% gambling site,  20% altcoin

Well I don't have any hidden reason because I started trading hoping to earn some money from it and I think its just common and most of us here also came to trading for that reason.

And I can't really understand what the OP means by hidden reason. Is it like ulterior motive? If yes I doubt anyone will just post it here.

Holding bitcoins to make them grow is typically for people who don't have much time because they have other things to do in the outside world.

And yes I agree with you that if you have a free time why not just use it to earn money and make your life better? Like what the others are saying if he hadn't know

bitcoin we would have spending our time on Reddit,  facebook , twitter etc

Remember the more bitcoins we have the more it will be profitable if the price sky rockets

To put it simply, trading is a buy low sell high process and there are two kinds of trading, First is Btc to fiat. You can try selling them in person but selling online is the most common way.  Sites like localbitcoins, coinbase and bitfinex offers this service or you can just do it peer to peer here but since you are not reputable user you will have to use our escrow services.

The second one is Altcoin trading which is more complicated especially if you're a newbie because there are tons of them and yes many of them are just a scam so there are risk that they might just dump.  You can use poloniex for this and don't forget to watch the market , you can try investing in the top 5 altcoin in the market.
