How big of a return can you sustain?

[iamtheone]

I have a question to all bitcoin investors:

If you have x amount of bitcoins, at what rate of monthly return in terms of x can you sustain? How many hours per week do you give to make that return?

I dont really understand your post, are you talking about trading bitcoin, investing bitcoin in something, or just pure speculation on the currency?
Thx

Personally, I think my return over the last year or so has been around 10% at maximum. Bitcoin is not a magical way to make money and expecting returns above "normal" levels that you could also get on fiat money can only be sustained for so long.

Some people can make a lot of money on speculation, naturally, but that should not be considered sustainable return. In the end I think that you can sustain a return with an upper bound on the growth of the economy. Since Bitcoin is growing fast at the moment, returns can be higher for a time. Once it reaches stability the returns will not be any higher than they are for fiat money investments.
