Investing Bitcoins?

[perdomwx]

I have a couple of Bitcoins under my possession and I was wondering what are the best methods for investing them besides holding them? Thanks!

You could also check sites like Just-dice.com and other similar reputable ones.

JD is reporting a nice ROI for similar stable site.

But keep in mind that there is always a risk in any investment...

bitcoin is deflationary so you will always have an incentive to hold them, hoping the price will increase.

Holy shit, you're from the 22nd century when bitcoin ran out of blocks to mine?

Do you have a guide on the lending process? The website is confusing with all the investing jargon.

     After you get use to it it's quite simple. On the total return swaps (the lending part of the site) you select usd, btc or ltc and go to Offer swap. There you set the period in days, the rate you want to lend funds for (in precentages per day) and the amount you are offering and then click offer swaps to post your offer.
It's useful to use the autorenew function too, witch automaticly post your offer with your terms. You also have the Flash Return Rate (if you press options) witch is a variable interest rate based on the demand and offer. This would be the basics you need to know to get started.
     Also you have three wallets, coresponding with the three sections of the site, so first you need to transfer funds in the coresponding wallet. For the lending part the wallet is "deposit". For transfering funds between wallets you go to "Manage Wallets".

You are paying 15% of your interest for insurance of the funds, so it's not imposible.

Your statement is not correct.

You are implying that you are purchasing insurance against the default of the borrower, but even this is not risk free, you are only mitigating the risk.

The borrower can't default. He can't take take your bitcoins or fiat and leave. He is just using it for margin trading and he will get his position close when he is aproaching the margin limit. The insurance is in case of a sudden spike or drop in the price and the platform could not react in time to close his position so it will cover the eventual loss.

I've been giving out a couple of loans with BTCJam and I have been pretty fortunate that the borrowers have been paying back their debt. Do you guys have any other sites for giving out loans besides going out loans in the forum?

What if the exchange goes under and/or if the price of bitcoin moves too fast for the exchange to automatically close the position?

The risk with the exchange going under it's a risk you are taking with every exchange and service related to bitcoin. If the price moves to fast and the exchange can't close the position on time then it will cover for the loss.
