So many "Where to invest BTC threads" and so few real investment options. WHY?

[crazyivan]

We cant just give our money to them. We make sure we wont lose our investment thats why few people who invest. Everyday i saw many complains that they were scammed by hyip ponzi sites. You cant blame us why we're so selective on where investments we put our money at.

I dont blame anyone. What I ask is why there s not more legit supply of good investment opportunities, to put it that way.

Could be because it's very easy for these so called companies to disappear into thin air? I live in a country where a big scam bursts every few years or so. Heck, even legit insurance companies registered with the government. Just like the educational plan my mom bought for me, never got to using it. It's not that I'm not looking for somewhere to invest in but I'm quite skeptical of most I come across. For example my cousin was asking me to try out btcriver.com. I said I would but have't registered yet. Has anyone here tried it? You think it can be trusted?

I'm earning little but I currently prefer just working for btc and holding on to it.

I wouldn't trust any doubling site, sooner or later you will see it is a scam. The site is still quite new ("ONLINE SINCE JANUARY 10TH, 2017"), so you can try your luck and try to gain some extra coins, but you can't really know if (when) they close door and fly away with all your money.
I completely agree what you said in the end - the safest way to earn some coins is to work and get them as a payment.

My cousin never stop asking me about it. Maybe I'll try with whatever I'll earn this week. The thing with Ponzis is that if you were early enough you can actually get a profit. If you joined just before the cards fall though...

That is true, right in the beginning, you can make a very nice profit, but the thing is, you never know when they close the business, so you can always loose much more. And the other thing is, that when you use these sites, you support the scammers as well, so personally I try to avoid services like these.

It seems the situation has not improved yet. I still can find much more topics where people offer money compared to topics where you can invest your BTC, at least if you exclude shady doublers, gambling and similar threads. Are we that lethargic people?

There are some good investment opportunities to be found on this forum, but usually not in one of these general threads like you mention in the OP.

Take Crypto-Games for example, an investor is posting his progress on a thread in the Securities section of the forum and has been doing so since February 2017.
Since then he has earned a total profit of +27.96% in BTC on his investment, turned 1 BTC into 1.279598 BTC.

I'm sure that there are even more threads scattered around the forum listing some profitable and relatively safe investments, you just have to know where to look for them.

Thx, but I simply do not feel sending money where I do not control my private keys.

What do you guys think about casino bankroll investments? Am I too paranoid?
