You can buy futures with some of your coins and invest the rest in certificates.
This is the most efficient way, but you need to decide on a risk management strategy.
It depends on whether there are local currency instruments available for hedging your position; you would probably have to open a position in the forex market to hedge the value of your local currency versus the USD.
You can decide your risk management based on your expected income and your risk appetite.
For example, if you have 2 bitcoins and you invest 1 bitcoin in futures at a leverage of 2x, you can then use the remaining 1 bitcoin for investment purposes because you are hedging the value of 2 bitcoins and your futures position will gain value as if it was 2 bitcoins even though you only invested 1 bitcoin in futures. However, if the price drops significantly from where you bought the future (about 50%), there is a risk that your futures position will be closed at a loss and you could lose 1 bitcoin unless you deposit more funds to keep your position afloat.
I suggest watching the lessons about futures on Khan Academy to learn more.

Ethics has to be applied to politics to be of any value, so therefore philosophy and politics apply to political economy.
Economic systems cannot be isolated from their political milieu and the political system must be ethical to be justified.
So if the (political) economy is not ethically sound, then the economic model is flawed ab initio.

Virtually all nations have a central bank based upon the fiat model, and all are controlled by the same cartel.
So what about the ethical model behind today's USD? Is it not grossly flawed?
Here are some of the results of the slavery system that has been imposed upon America:

So in your opinion it is OK to enslave--so long as the ends justify the means?
In my opinion, ethics and philosophy should influence the political structure which will dictate the nature of the economy. I believe in natural rights, so my opinion is that slavery is immoral and the present slavery system cannot be justified. What do you have to say about that?

You have not educated yourself about how the banking system really works in this country. I suggest a careful examination of the reading material that I posted earlier, in particular the flow chart labeled "loan accounting reveals the true creditor" which is linked from the HJR 192 site. The Treasury was supposed to belong to the people, not private elitist bankers. Until you can access the Treasury for yourself, you are a slave who cannot access your own value. Everywhere in the USA the peoples' rights are being ignored; literally every one of the 10 Amendments have been and still are being grossly violated on a national scale and particularly the ubiquitous crimes involving illegal "bills of attainder" and debtors' prisons are a direct result of the monetary system which by all appearances has taken over the original justice system that was designed for this country; that is because slaves have no rights and the people have not educated themselves; it is obvious that a slavery system has been imposed upon the populace. Your defense of the slavers is an apparent case of Stockholm Syndrome.

Right, I told you the answer   ; the fiat system is based on slavery; we live in a dulocracy.
In all slavery systems: over time the slaves are made to work harder for less, this fact is a result of the ignorance of the masses within the political structure (i.e. dulocracy) and it has nothing to do with technology.
I detect some sarcasm in your reply; what is the purpose? You need proof that you are a slave?
Since you are promoting slavery as the best system "economically", I am entitled to ask who benefits and what exactly is meant by "economically".

Here is a definitive conclusion:
Ask anyone who was earning a wage prior to Nixon's default on the currency (the end of sound money)
about how much they earned and how much their purchasing power was.
They will all tell you that they had money to burn even though the wages were miniscule.
Nowadays most people are just barely getting by; life was better with sound money.
Basically, their wages were in silver dollars, so one dollar was an ounce of silver (about $15-$17).
The value of labor has obviously been stolen from the workers by the debasing of the currency;
this is what happens in all slavery systems: over time the slaves are made to work harder for less.

As far as living standards, the Fed caused the Great Depression and the next crisis is just around the corner. Wealth has not "trickled down"; inequality and social mobility are important measures of the standard of living and these were clearly better during the sound money eras of the past.

I tire of your theory.
WHO does this system work for?
The current system does not work fine for anyone but the elites; they are the ones who hoard the credit and assets and leave them idle; money velocity has slowed down dramatically. It is pure "idle worship"; energy must flow through a system because stagnation is death.
How all of this could possibly be "economically better" than sound money is something that I fail to comprehend. I don't think that you can determine that an economic system is "better" unless it is in reference to some group of people; economics is a social science and is properly called "political economy". It has been shown that the people manage money better than the State but the peoples' productivity and creativity is cheated by the monetary system. Cui bono??

"Of all contrivances for cheating the laboring classes of mankind, none has been more effective than that which deludes them with paper money." - Daniel Webster

The Dollar just isn't what it used to be; it is no longer a measure of value, it is pure "dimensionless" ponzi.

I was searching for information on "lawful money" when I came across this thread:

The number of goods traded for bitcoin is basically a function of the market cap.
I don't think that the market cap is as important as the fact that it is a viable alternative that works; I can and DO trade ALL of my bitcoin for goods because there are many advantages to using bitcoin for trading in goods, the first one being that one gets to "starve the banks"! As mentioned in another thread:

A recent survey showed:
50% of merchants who accept bitcoin convert it all to fiat. 10% keep the bitcoin. 40% take a mix of fiat and bitcoin.
I conclude that the use and acceptance of bitcoin as money is growing.
Another recent survey showed:
Bitcoin acceptance and use is growing faster than the internet but slower than mobile phones because the latter network was able to utilize existing networks while the former had to create a new network from scratch. This indicates that trade conducted in bitcoin is growing, and not diminishing.
I have thought about how VAT and sales taxes are often comparable to the loss incurred by a barter transaction (up to 10%); it seems to me that avoiding VAT and sales tax is a great use case for bitcoin, and obviously certain groups of people will try to use it for most of their transactions. Also, Since there is apparently not enough money to pay back all the loans with interest, the fiat system creates economic distortions on a massive scale, so bubbles in fiat assets are somewhat comparable to those of crypto-assets.

I am so glad that you asked. There is A LOT of misinformation surrounding this topic and the monetary system in general, so I will summarize my understanding and I hope that those who read will educate themselves enough to formulate a response.

First, you have to understand the entire context around HJR 192 and the 14th Amendment.
Second, you need to be aware of the nature of the SS Card: it is a promissory note.
Finally, you need to stand as a fiduciary over that SS account and utilize (or liquidate) that note.

If something is hard to understand, you will probably need to use a law dictionary; Ballantine's and Anderson's are recommended.

Usury is when the state uses the peoples' assets and keeps them ignorant about how to access their own value.

The Fed is the source of credit. Credit is no different from faith (credibility), so the Fed has created a monetary religion that controls the barter economy. Fortunately, anyone can barter with bitcoin or any other commodity without the need to participate in a deceptive religion.

In my opinion, a balanced system can only exist in the absence of usury.
What do you think a balanced system would look like?
How do you propose to bring about a balanced fiat system?
How will the people acquire control of the money? How can it be taken from the central bankers who will NOT give it up voluntarily?
I personally cannot see the system coming to balance when so much wealth and power is held by so few. I think we must democratize currencies and cryptography while eschewing all private credit and usury systems, then we can realize the vision of the founding fathers:
"The liberties of a people never were, nor ever will be, secure, when the transactions of their rulers may be concealed from them." - Patrick Henry
"Bank-paper must be suppressed, and the circulating medium must be restored to the nation to whom it belongs." - Thomas Jefferson
"But, if you wish to remain the slaves of Bankers and pay the cost of your own slavery, let them continue to create money and control credit." - Sir Josiah Stamp 1920 - Director of Bank of England

Bitcoin is backed by the credit of those who accept it (i.e. demand it). The people who DO accept bitcoin are giving it value by driving the demand; I am convinced that these people will always exist, so therefore bitcoin is an asset with value of its own.

In the fiat system, the early adopters get the high interest rates at the expense of later adopters.

I will be happy to pay all taxes that are due, as long as the government pays me what THEY owe.

As far as the income tax, all receipts from that tax go towards funding federal transfer payments and interest on the national debt (Grace Commission Report); none of it goes towards what people expect to be paying for. LOL?

Now If you think that the tax code (or any code) applies to living people, then by all means pay your tribute and do NOT question the authorities. If you have doubts, then ask the question and be prepared to stand up for yourself when you get the run-around from these authorities.

By the way, to get out of prison... See Volume 1 of the Statutes at Large: An Act providing for the relief of persons imprisoned for Debts due to the United States. 5th Congress 2nd Session Chapter 49.
This act allows one to petition the Secretary of the Treasury to make a conveyance out of one's estate in order to discharge oneself from prison.

That amendment did not create any new powers of taxation. You are just repeating the myth, you did not question or research anything. How do you know that the tax apples to people unless you ask?? How do you know that the courts have authority over living people unless you ask? You have to change your level of thinking and start asking questions.
