question: how can i grow my bitcoins

[chris56a]

I want to grow my bitcoins not by dollar value but amount I have, i've gambled a lot then sold my bitcoins at a higher dollar value but that doesn't work after awhile I used btcjam but I'm not really trusting of the people on there is there another trusted site other then btcjam.com

Did you try planting a bitcoin seed? JK bitlendingclub and bitbond are the other two I think.

[Saffronix]

You could always loan them out, with decent interest rates. Just make sure you don't get scammed, that would be a bad thing.

I like the bitbond idea, even considering using it myself. If you can get a reliable resource to lend it out with no risk to you, good! Making sure you can keep your bitcoins is worth the interest cut.

If you can find a reputable casino to invest in their bankroll then you can likely earn a pretty decent return on your bitcoin

You used to be able to earn a good return at Just Dice but they have now shut. The only problem is trust, would I trust any of the other casino's to shut down and return all my BTC?

Recommendations and reasons why to trust another casino would be useful.

Saving fiat and buying BTc regularly seems a more promising long term strategy

You wont get much increase in value and still host them somewhere els, we all know how has ended for some.

There are loads of small projects, you could invest in. Just keep your ear to the ground and use common sense. If the projects are already making profit, you could consider investing more.

The loan option carry loads of risk, so you might even loose more than you gained in the long run. {1 or 2 non-payments, may digest all profits from paying loans}

Crowd funding promotes the decentralization concept, so you might consider those, as a good opportunity.

Which casino still let people invest in their bankroll?

At this stage of the game I don't think there's any option without unacceptable levels of risk. Be happy with what you have and look into it again a few years down the line.

Agreed. Dooglus was the reason JD was such a good investment for many people. Stunna could do a similar thing with PrimeDice but has said he has no interest in doing something like that. Until someone with that much trust opens a site up I would avoid casino investing.

Agreed. Wait till a bitcoin bank (with insured deposits) opens.
At the rate at which bitcoin is progressing, it won't be long.

It wouldn't be a bad idea for a Bitcoin bank, unless it acts LIKE A BANK and NOT a central bank. I won't support any bank that even tries to do that. I also don't want any bank that will fractionally lend, otherwise stuff could go wrong for it pretty quickly. Now, if they do it right however, it would be genius...

It depends. I wouldn't mind there being a bank, but it depends what they do. I don't want the current economic fiasco going on in Bitcoin too.

completely agree it should be different from the banks of today

The problem with bitcoin related banks lending bitcoins to people is that it is very difficult/impossible to seize a person's bitcoins in the event that the bank receives a judgement on a defaulted loan. With fiat banks, the bank can use the courts to seize a deadbeat debtor's assets, but this would not be possible with bitcoin.

I would say that best bet would be a bankroll for a casino.

be a lender at btcjam.com but be careful of scammers

[glendall]

I'd just buy them and hang on to them to be honest.

Speaking from experience, I made about 200% investing and trading in cryptocoins, and lost about 300% and the end of the day, investing and trading in cryptocoins, and being scammed, by theives such as Ukyo Jon Montroll, or super late companies selling pre-order asics, like Avalon.

I would not loan BTC, that seems like far too risky. Really I'd just recommend buying BTC and holding. Mining is not really even profitable anymore IMHO.

[FattyMcButterpants]

nothing is risk-free -- lending, for instance. you could also lend for margin traders on Bitfinex, but interest pay is pretty low. you could try your hand at altcoin speculation.

This is absolutely the best advice, don't lend without collateral, don't invest in ponzi schemes, don't do anything, unless you're absolutely sure of your returns. And buying and hodling is the best thing you can do right now.

try freebtcio, maybe you win the big price
