What do you do with your idle coins?

[Zombier0]

I invest in altcoins

[Q7]

Well I just let it sitting around idling in my account. If I'm bored, then I'll just get involved in providing services and then watch the numbers increase. Or if there is a good trading opportunity, then I'll also consider. Much better than park it in a high yield investment account which carries the unnecessary risks of losing everything. I'm not desperate so it's better to be safe than sorry.

Invest to hyip.

[Lenore]

I put all the coins I can in lending accounts.  If the coins arent able to be I sell them off and turn them into lendabke coins.  That way my coins are always at work.

[notiely]

Invest to hyip.

That's also what i'm doing now.

I don't usually have idle coins in my wallet because i use them to purchase something online,but when i do,i move them to vault..it keeps my bitcoins safe and thus i hope for the bitcoin price to grow..believe me you can't just grow your idle coins by investing in ponzy/hyip..the better way is to just hold them and wish for the price to go up

Say goodbye to your coins.

[ashour]

I either invest it in 1broker or buy gadgets from wish or geek. But most of the times I try to save the idle btw up.

What's the difference between vault and cold storage? Or is the term interchangeable?

Mind sharing the URLs?

[Yofun]

Invest some into Iznop

[--Encrypted--]

I let them stay idle until I absolutely need to use some. which happens pretty often.

[jeffthebaker]

I just have them sitting... that's all. Im also looking for ways to generate interest out of my modest stack (less than 2 figures) but it seems "everything is a scam" and I get told by everyone everytime I ask it that I just should hodl.

BTCJam was an idea I had but apparently so many people default, they run with your money without any consequences and you just lose it.
Most "Put your money here and generate interest" things are just good ol ponzi schemes. It seems no one is coming up with a serious platform to securely do this.
So yeah im afraid we are stuck with holding and holding only.

Even if you are wary, I would still highly recommend BTCJam. Yes, it is possible that the person you loan can scam you and run off with your money. However, they have a pretty intuitive credit rating system over there, and you can pretty easily tell which loans are 100% legit or not. You can choose only to loan out to people with a high credit rating and extensive (flawless) loan history, and at that point it's a very low risk. The profit will not be too much on these lower risk loans, but it is much better than leaving your money sitting around doing nothing.

I'm currently just sitting on mine. I'm not so sure what to do with them.

My BTC and LTC are sitting in paper wallets in the local banks safety deposit box...likely 'taunting' the fiat in the other boxes as being sooooo 20th century

The reason for the safety deposit box is 1) its huge 2) its only 45 bucks a year and the MAIL the bill so no issues there 3) if the bank sinks into a sinkhole or something and all is lost..well just proof the asic gods hate me ..imho and I could then write it off to 'fate' should some such bank 'catastrophe" happen

and of course if i get hit by a truck my brother is on the  safety deposit box record so he can pull them

 (damn just jinx'd self)

the magic beans will grow ..or I will have a lot in common with the state beanie baby club

[ginvestor]

use them to play games.

Sounds like a good idea.


Perhaps if I were to draft my Will and include Bitcoins as part of my assets, wonder what will my lawyer say..

[child_rights_and_you]

Not a good idea.
Better leave them sleeping for years. Time will answer how worth of your actions with your idle coins. Just remember Satoshi leaves his coins idle for years.

[Febo]

I have some coins idling around in my wallet but I cannot bear to put it in hyip or risk it. But it is a waste to let it idle around. Yes. I have coins in some "lower risk" hyips to generate some interest which I'm prepared to write off. I also have some coins converted to hashing power in hashnest and BW.com but it has to be monitored else you will suffer a loss instead. 


Unlike fiat currencies, I cannot park these coins into banks backed by governmental institutions. I put my fiat currencies in banks or blue chips but I cannot do it with cryptos.

So, what do you do with your idle coins? Let it sit around?

I have some in some casino invested as a house (not sure how is exact name of it). But with that same as the ones i have on exchanges, i risk that that casino get hacked and i lose all.

[thinkinger]

with the half iwould invest in hashnest with the other half i would buy and sell btc,ltc,dash,dark
