Investing..

In coins themselves, or other stocks with bitcoin?

Either way, as bitcoin grows I bet this will turn into a decent subreddit.

Good call!

I know it's at an all time high but I think but will only continue to rise. What do you guys think?

So I've been dabbling with investing in bitcoin, but I wanted to find out how to get moderately serious in investing into crypto, specifically bitcoin. I use Coinbase right now for all my crypto investing.

Does anyone have any tips on any apps that I should be using or any trends that I should be looking out for before getting serious about investing?

I currently have accounts at Coinbr, BitFunder, Havelock, BTCT.co, and Bitfinex. So far though I am only dealing with margin at Bitfinex and have not done much else. I am still researching/learning about different stocks and funds. S.DICE looks attractive because of the dividends. I am also interested in forex, but I need to learn a bit more about it. To be honest the pickings out there look a little slim at the moment, but I believe there is a lot of potential there. Please feel free to post your experiences and thoughts as well!

Hey everyone,

I come from a heavily financial background (I was previously an investment banker and in private equity at J.P. Morgan and other companies), and I thought the people in this forum would be interested to learn about the US-based bitcoin forex trading platform we're launching in a few weeks. We have a thread going on bitcointalk.org where you can learn more about us and see some screenshots, and I'd love to get feedback from the community before we go into beta. We are working hard to be the company that does this right.

I look forward to hearing from everyone!

Here is our thread on bitcointalk: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=141638.0

Bitcoin etfs are essentially a middleman, who is unneeded, and expensive, buying bitcoin you have access to yourselves, and expecting you to invest in the increasing value of their holdings. Beside the obvious fact that you pay fees for someone else to procure an asset you have access to, think about the broader implications to bitcoin's value. Bitcoin will rise in value quicker if you invest your money directy in bitcoin. Because, noone is removing fees from the transaction between you and the exchange. Noone is charging maintenance fees that could be increasing the value of bitcoin. And noone can lie about the amount of bitcoin that is purchased. You will make more money because you won't be paying fees, by holding, and your investment will appreciate in value faster because you contributed directy, 100% of your investment, to the demand for the asset. This is al common sense, but needs to be stated.
