Reading all the replies looks like these are the options
- hold (if price goes up you will profit)
- trade (but you can loose it )
- lend (could loose everything because of risk or scam)

I am struggling with this : with the "high" there is so much money ($) locked in and if i cash in i will lose future gains, If I don't cash out i might loose everything I made. so if I could get some income while still get to keep my coins that would be awesome!

What are the "safe" options for holders of bitcoin to generate income?
