Is it better to save money or invest it?

[STT]

I've never understood why people, especially people here who gamble and trade a lot and generally waste a lot of money, don't just buy 0.5 BTC today and hold it for perpetuity. If it goes th rough the roof, you're set. If nothing happens, well, at least you have 0.5 BTC give or take. There's such limited risk...

Theres an argument for not overthinking a decision to hold back some of your saved value.   But doing nothing with something does not earn money, its the utility of bitcoin which makes it valuable.
If nobody ever exchanged value then it'd be worth $10 or less still.   So yea you can just do that hold forever plan, if everyone did that then its worth very little.  Its kinda ironic


Buffet talks about this, the value of gold.   We spend money, effort and oil to dig up gold then we refine it and put it back in the ground and call ourselves rich while achieving nothing, aliens observing this behaviour would be mystified
The point is to store value safely over night, if you do it forever you should be worse off then anyone doing reasonable transactions and benefiting from traded value

People don't do it because it is not exciting, because it does not gives you promises of multiplying your coins, like trading, or the fun you may get through gambling, some people in the forum are doing that but I don't think it is a strategy used by most of the forum members.

For me saving now is best saving actually works when we want something we really save our money not to spend christmas is comming so i need more money and i don't invest investment website are scam even lots of review you will not know admin hire someone to post an review for that website to get more investors.

especially true Christmas is coming soon of course you'll need a lot of things and stuff and it mewajibkanmu to have the money ready. so keep most of your money and the rest might you use to invest

as the price of bitcoin is cotinously increasing therefor i think it is better to hold bitcoin and not to spend it or invest it anywhere, as if the bitcoin price continue increasing it will give you a good profit in the end.

Some weeks ago i were starting to save all the earnings i got from signature, just after i had been forced to sell all the bitcoins i had to pay some bills, since those time i were collecting and saving, but i found the best investment i could, and im taking a small risk into it, if all work i will be getting something like 10-30% monthly from mine investment, and no isnt hyip or cloud. I were always shared between wich direction to follow, but now i do know what i wanna and i know how to do.

Maybe it would be best if you will share what investment you are doing now, we all want to have a good investment to grow our money and I would appreciate if you can help us as well. That investment of yours might be more successful if you will be able to hear good advise from experts.

You learn how to save and that's good but you need more discipline to really succeed IMO.

I agree that the best thing to do right now is to keep on holding, because that is also good as your own investment. But while waiting for more price increase you can also have sometime for trading and other types of investment in real world. I've been doing trading and I can say that this is one of the best type of investment in bitcoin while saving.

Mostly because there's no guarantee that the price of bitcoin will really increase really high. As we can see right now, it really does increase but it's quite slow. Trading and all the other risky things let you earn more bitcoins. There are things that you can do to make your bitcoin grow, why would you limit yourself to holding bitcoins? 0.5BTC wouldn't make that much profit even if the price of bitcoins gets doubled after a year of waiting. If you have been trading all those time, then you would have multiplied those coins already.

To be honest, holding bitcoins and waiting for the price to increase is nothing but wishful thinking to me. Don't be lazy, get up, and exert effort to make your bitcoin grow.

I basically agree with your stance and think along the same lines myself

But if we should face the facts and cut the crap, just sitting and waiting idly for Bitcoin price to rise was quite a profitable strategy for at least a year and a half. So how can it be possibly wishful thinking? Indeed, it is not a given that the price will continue to grow in the future, though I for one hope that it will and there are good reasons to think so. Other than that, I fully agree that we should try to grow out bitcoins as much as we can by any available legitimate means, potentially moving the break-even point into negative territory

U should save 90 percent and invest 10 percent as there are too many risks in investment and tend to loose many a times .maybe i am ameture thats y i am saying this.but u cant deny the truth.

Saving or invest some times could be the same.
If you buy btc, you're saving your fiat currency and meanwhile you're making a good investment.
The classic way to "save" money could be useless in a long period of time.

Saving is never useless no matter how you do it, if you do it in a modern way like investing or saving your money in bitcoin then that is good too but even if you just save the money you want to that is cool too, they will be of work later on in future if you face some monetary problems.

i think its not good idea to save money but if we save bitcoin, i think is a good option to do while bitcoin price will be increase. and if we talk bitcoin, then save bitcoin and invest bitcoin its the same as long as we don't invest our bitcoin in the site that offering their programs like ponzi, cloud mining that have not reputable.

We don't know in what kind of investment Doamader is doing but if it has the risk of saturation then it will be unwise to share it in the forum, but if you are interested maybe you could send a pm to him and talk about it

holding bitcoin is a good idea no doubt about this ,and specially in present time when there is a remarkable increase in the price of bitcoin, hope that very soon we are going  to see the price trading above 1000 USD.

Let's wish for that in the near future. But only holding bitcoin is not good also. We must let it to circulate in the market to keep the bitcoin alive. If we just store it and big amounts of it, bitcoin will slowly die. Yes we are holding our bitcoin for the future but  only few amounts of it will do. But if we are only small time holders then let's just hold it. Let the whales drive the price up.

I totally agree, the currency should circulate. But each of us wants to grow its assets. And many bought Bitcoin and just keep them to do so. When is the right time, each of us will spend your Bitcoins.

It should be up to the owners of the money if the currency flows or not. That is whats so good about bitcoin compared to fiat. Fiat system benefits from constant flux of cash, thats why capitalism builds absolute shit products with programmed obsolence, because for the system to survive, they need to keep people buying shit constantly, so they make things break quick.

With bitcoin, you dont need this, bitcoin system can survive no matter what people do with their bitcoins.

Only investments always bring a good profit. Wait and save bitcoin does not make sense, because you can make more profit by investing their money profitably.

[TheHost]

Always better to invest. Saving will lead to losing money for sure, investing makes you have a chance to gain something, maybe not 100% chance but better than 100% chance to lose money in time.

If you do not invest, you can make any interest!
You should stand behind your investments and believe that you made a good investment.
You must have knowledge of your investment that you do!
I have 25,000 invested in Bitcoin because I believed in it.
I have enough financial knowledge and know when and where I can invest!
I have planned for 2017 to invest in commodities since I made my analysis for 2017
Investing is good!
