I'm investing these days because the bitcoin has a really good future a head so why should you save money.
You should not save money if you can make more money by investing in the bitcoin.

certainly better investment than saving. especially with the investment we can grow our money, but you should really choose an investment that has a small risk. because I see the most current investment in bitcoin has a high risk. not like investing in gold.

Gold is risky as well. It's been down YoY for many years now. Still not sure why people who clearly don't invest are trying to give advice that's clearly delusional.

Not everyone can invest in gold its only for rich traders unlike bitcoin everyone can really start small while in gold you really need to have a big capital to trade it.

What? You can buy physical gold for as little as $30 (probably smaller, depending on the seller). Not sure where that classifies as "rich" at.

First there is no bank pays over 10% anymore, if you know a bank pays more than 10%, then it must be doing something behind your back, not necessary a bad thing, but you need to know.
In terms of bitcoin, my feeling is that holding bitcoin, is like holding a gold bar, if will not pay you anything, you are waiting for price appreciation.
The only way I can think of is to buy in a 6 month period, each month you spent about 3500 to buy coins, so that price averaged to a reasonable number. Each week you buy a little bit more than 2 coins at current price. Hide your coins in  a code storage.

This only works if it appreciates over time. If it drops, you still lose. BTC isn't proprietary. From an investment standpoint, it's a horrible risk vs. reward ratio.

Bitcoin wallet. I use blockchain.info
It's pretty good one in online wallets. Blockchain.info is good to check all the details of all block and all transactions.
If you start to go big deal and transaction desktop is fine. example multibit or electrum.

If you 'start to go big,' you want a hardware wallet, hands down. I'd say the $1k mark is when you should already have one.
1605  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: I've got $20k to invest. Please recommend! on: March 19, 2016, 03:38:16 AM
Hey folks,

I've finally got around $20k to invest in long-term. No, unfortunately I cannot put this on a bank to get like 10-15% per year, I'd need something way more good.
What would you recommend? Mining? Other crypto?

Investors, please get me some cool ideas.

Thanks in advance,
Marcell

You're asking this in the wrong area. There are two types of people here:

1) Those who make money investing

and

2) Those who don't

Those in class #1 aren't going to tell you where to invest. We're not your fiduciary. We're not your adviser. What you're doing is akin to asking in a public forum for legal advice -- no legitimate attorney is going to provide it (outside of very basic things) until you're a client of theirs. The risk is too great.

I don't say this to be rude, but rather to help protect you. If you follow advice here, you're more than likely going to have a bad time.
1606  Economy / Economics / Re: Is it better to save money or invest it? on: March 18, 2016, 09:34:00 PM
Its indeed better to just invest in the bitcoin these days because it has a really good future a head if you ask me, look at the events that are upcoming.
The halving will let the price rise to a higher amount for sure.

People are expecting the price to go up significantly due to the block halving, but they don't seem to look at what's less likely to happen. And that is that the price may as well go down. I have noticed that a lot people here expect too much from the block halving. I guess most of these people will get disappointed once the price doesn't go up much.

This. If BTC were guaranteed to go up, everyone would be pulling from the stock market and dumping every cent they have into it. Why? Guaranteed income.

Guess who's not doing this? Anyone.

Take it as a hint. BTC could go down to $0.00 just as easily as it can go up to $1k. The blockchain is compatible with every coin out there (and new ones still being created). BTC is not proprietary. If your system supports BTC, it automatically supports DOGE, LTC, (insert millions of others here).
1607  Economy / Economics / Re: Is it better to save money or invest it? on: March 18, 2016, 08:44:48 PM
Well if you are saying of saving money in bitcoins then you are going great because bitcoins price will rise soon , and if you have money in bank then buy some bitcoins and save it and wait for the price to rise you will get a better profit .My suggestion is buy bitcoins and hold.

Yeah save money in bitcoins now and you will enjoy the profits in future and it also prove to be an best investment if the price goes higher in future.

If the price goes down, you don't "enjoy the profits." You're talking about a high-risk currency. Just HOLDING BTC is an investment.

That site is dying. When it is dead, good riddance, but if you have a balance already....

The site is dying but it wont be dead. There will always be a fool that put his money on all those loans and until there is no legit borrower anymore then the site will finally die. Some people consider this as gambling and if you really diversify your investment across several borrowers then you are likely to be in positive in a year


Doubt even that will kill it. Take a look at sites like BitFactory. It hasn't been paying out for MONTHS, yet people are STILL depositing money to it and then complaining because they can't withdraw.

Just a newbie user question here mate, I have only 7 rubies from my wallet is this enough to move for staking? or do I need more because I noticed that it is not moving/mining so I decided to ask here what should I do I'm seeing the better future of this coin that's why I'm interested in staking it. thank you

Any amount is enough to stake. It just takes more weight (more time) to do so. But the more you hold, the more often you'll stake.
1610  Economy / Marketplace / Re: BitCoin Mortgage Bonds on: March 18, 2016, 06:51:56 AM
I think it's a great idea since they seems to be taking peoples houses as collateral if I read it properly little tired.

But seems like a good concept never seen anything like this.

I don't see it working out too well. Mortgages use flat-rate returns based on fiat. Assuming nothing changes in your life, you will have more earnings over time than now. On the other hand, BTC fluctuates. It could go up or down, effectively making it impossible to fully repay the loan (i.e., when I loan out 10 BTC, I expect 10 BTC back -- I don't care if it increased in value 50000% or decreased to 1/200 of its value -- what I loaned is my expectation for return).
1611  Economy / Securities / Re: Searching for MAJOR Investment - $15,000 - SAFE - MEETING IN PERSON! on: March 18, 2016, 06:47:29 AM
Before I begin, I want to state the important information. I realize this is just about sketchy as hell considering this is my FIRST post, but I was told to check this website out on another one that I'm well known on for this search. This will be 100% safe for you - I'm not asking for a blind bitcoin payment of thousands of dollars or anything.

Basically, I need an investor of $15,000. You will be paid back whether this is successful or not. If it is, you should receive your investment within a few months and begin earnings thousands of extra income per month. If not, you will be paid back within a years time.

CONTRACTS WILL BE SIGNED TO ENSURE SAFETY![/size]

Upon proof of at least 1/3rd of the $15,000 required, I will send you a document explaining the whole idea and such to see if you're further interested.


This has potential to make you THOUSANDS more per month and have a net profit of hundreds of thousands+ per year.

You're going to need to share a lot more information. What you've supplied means nothing at all. No legitimate investor is going to waste their valuable time just to ask you basics.

If you decide you actually want investors, share more information and give me a heads-up and I'll review it. That said, I expect all the normal crap (market analysis, growth projections, risks, competitor analysis, etc.), as would any other actual investor.

Bitcoin wallet and bank account are two different things with different purpose. If one occupy the other's purpose, then only one will survive. Hopefully it would be bitcoin wallet.
I do not think bitcoin wallet will be against with the bank. because the real game is bitcoin vs fiat. of course the winner will also impact on bitcoin wallet and bank
But, we have common name for system and unit, i.e bitcoin. So, the real war can be both bitcoin vs fiat and bitcoin vs bank.
Bitcoin is going to win this war sooner or later but the fittest bitcoin will survive for sure.

Well its difficult to say the banks are also strong, I must say the bitcoin is already a step further than banks because its fully digital.
But its also the fact you have to keep in mind the bitcoin is still not stable and banks can have influence for sure, no doubts about that.

Overall I think the bitcoin can win but it will be a long journey!
The banks will disappear later in the future I think, because of Bitcoin. Because Bitcoin and the online wallets are now more used and that is very good for Bitcoin.
The normal banks are now reducing. And of course many people need their banks, so they cant disappear now.
I think if the bitcoin ATM started everywhere in the world and many service providers for ATM cards like visa and master start to load with bitcoin with relatively lower fees then definitely banks will disappear.

This will never happen. Most people don't trust cryptos because of all the negative stigmas it keeps having added to it. As long as people continue scamming and stealing, this isn't going to change at all.

That's the reality. Why cryptos has not received the trust as the dollar or some other currency is due to existence of a large number of coins and getting vanished in a short term. So when such scenario change bitcoin wallets will be used most.

BTC will never be dominant, but this scenario is what's stunting its growth. I've talked to many people about cryptos and their responses are always the same: either they talk about the scams/hacks or about how people just use them for narcotics. As such, the vast majority of people don't want to be caught associated with what is being largely deemed as a criminal ring/ponzi.

I'm still waiting on a loan to be repaid since Nov 25, but it's a long-term loan, so lets see how it goes.

If... IF you're going to throw money in something like this, you absolutely HAVE to diversify. Minimum of 100 loans, but ideally 1k+. You can absolutely count on people defaulting, but by diversifying, you have a better chance of coming out ahead. That said, anonymous loans... dangerous. It's a high-risk, low-reward system.

Bustabit has a 1% skill and you can have an advantage if you use it wisely. I will test the bot tomorrow.

Thanks!

This is something so many people don't realize. Technically, I believe you can achieve a +EV under optimal circumstances by taking advantage of the bonuses. A bad streak would still wipe you out due to max. bets and wins though.

@OP: awesome options in the script! Some of those I've never heard of but look like they could really help with the bad streaks.

I really like the gorilla thing you have going on here. It's so cute. It's a pretty fun game but i must say i do prefer the mine style games like satoshimine.
Although i don't have too much trust in them at the moment. And you right these kind of games can easily become addictive.

Not to thread-crap, but you may want to check out http://sweepabit.com for a SatoshiMine-like site. It's backed by MP, so no trust issues there.

@Bitkong, 3 months to hit 1m bets, and after just one more month you're almost double that. Awesome growth!

Is there any auto drop that can martingale the drop? Like if it is loss it double until it hit whatever winning number after that it will reset back from the start again or stop when winning

You mean martin drops?
Or martin bet

Is that any different? I think both of them are just the same but for sure but what I mean is may be martin drop. May be you can try to give me both for me to try it then

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1221154.400

I dont think that the code is really work for what I meant. What I mean is if you bet 0.0001 and lose it keeps on doubling until you hit lets say 2x after that it will back to 0.0001 again. Repeat this again and again, is there any script like this one?

I believe the only way to do that would be to set up the multipliers accordingly (i.e., all 0s and 2xs), and then double on loss, back to start on win.
