What is your risk/reward tolerance?

[Stinky_Pete]

Buy and hold - except you don't need to buy.

[jinjuro]

Invest 3 btc in ppc.
1 btc to primecoin
1 btc to dodge
1 btc to dgc
1 btc to worldcoin

just hold your 3 btc

Sell it all in 2015 thats I would do if I have 10 btc right now.

[exstasie]

I would definitely hold on to majority of them.  I'd invest in some in alt-coins, but I think i'd keep and hold onto my BTC for now.

Investing is the same thing as gambling, your taking a risk.

So by that, go gamble what you can afford to lose as for short term. And hold the rest for long term.

pick a team for the superbowl and best on that

Diversify into maybe 1 BTC of whatever altcoins you believe will succeed, invest maybe 1 BTC into whichever  gambling site you trust the most, and keep the other 8 BTC in cold storage.

why not buy some mining shares?

I would recommend taking half (5 BTC), and use that to buy 100 units of PETA mining shares on Havelock investments. Each unit currently gives 2.88 Gh/s of mining. You only get 2/3 back as dividends and the other 1/3 is used to buy more ASIC chips to compensate for the hash rate increase. You benefit from any new ASIC chips purchased, so the 2.88 Gh/s per share will go up as time goes on. The link to Havelock is as follows:

You of course can sell the PETA shares and get some (if not all) of your initial investment back in a few weeks after collecting weekly dividends. Dividends will initially be quite high and that should drive the share price up. Alternatively you could hold the 100 units of PETA long term. You should get a full 5 BTC just in dividends within 6 months to a year depending on hash rate increase. Any dividends after that will be extra gravy and you still will have the 100 units.

Personally I think PETA is a good option for some of your BTC. I do own PETA shares and that might make me biased. Keep in mind that PETA is just about to receive their chips in a week or two, so they have not started mining yet. It does not look like there will more delays, but delays could be costly in terms of lost dividends.

There are many other funds on Havelock. Keep in mind that if you invest in a real world business, as opposed to mining, and that business is using the BTC for most of their startup costs, then essentially you are converting those BTC to Fiat. This means that if the value of BTC goes up, usually the share price of those types of businesses go down. If the value of BTC goes down then usually the share price will actually go up.

Please read the prospectus for PETA and see what you think.

I would invest a small portion in the sort of "penny stocks" like Electric.

wmr,

It its best you diversify your investment to spread risk and increase opportunity. Potentially keep half or a third in BTC and hold. Then diversify with a low risk and a higher risk investment.

Im with monkeybear on PETA, they have conservative estimates matched with a proven team and already secured orders. As low risk securities investments with high dividends, this seems like the best.

Also, next generation cryptocurrency will have there time to shine soon. Things like NXT, eMunie and Etherium have distinct advantages over BTC, and if one of them isn't ten times its current value this time next year then i will eat my hat.

Its important you do your own research, there are many sub forums on this forum, check them all out, allot of people have there own opinions, its important you make your own! maybe you'll spot the next big thing everyone is missing.

Good luck!

Investing bitcoin is not diversification.

It has the same risks of bitcoin and an added 3rd party risk.

Keep a desired % of btc in cold storage and buy stuff with the rest or support organizations with BTC occasionally.

I would stay away from the available half baked investing solutions for the time being. Hopefully this area will be improved in the future.

[empoweoqwj]

Buy some mining shares with a couple of coins:

Their new hardware is coming online March.

Keep the other 8 BTC. Will be big price movement up when the biggest online retailers accept bitcoin mid-late 2014

I'm considering taking on BTC investors for Content Kung Fu. If you're interested in investing in a mainstream business instead of other coins, message me. I'll take a BTC loan and pay you back in BTC with interest.

I think you should invest in all the coins listed above except, doge coin, as I'd treat it as a short term investment, maybe put name coin in its place instead.
Although to be honest, you might be better in just keeping the BTC itself than investing
