since you have two cloudmining in your opening post I tell you what I generally tell people when I want to suggest bitcoin investment to anybody I would tell them not to invest in cloudmining websites. you can get why I always suggest this from the explanations of this topic: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=878387.0

also try to stay away from anything that looks too good to be true. when you see a beautiful website telling you invest with us and we will double your investment in a short time, turn around and run away from that site Cheesy

the only investment that I like is investing in altcoins and trading in general. which can be hard and risky but it is so much better than trusting a third party with your money to give you back peanuts.

The links were random, I looked at them and reviewed them. They were more a demonstration of what an interest the community as a whole has in 'investing' (profiting). I assume you know - there are dozens more threads like that. I can not tell anyone what to do. However, I can request it. You have been here 2 years. There is genuinely no 3rd you trust? Have you worked with any of the ones I listed? Heard horror or positive stories about them? Like I mentioned this is not remotely about getting rich. It is about helping new people do things which are fairly safe as they continue to educate themselves on the way they want to go (on life, computers, electronics and economics - Bitcoin is about a lot.). It is not luring them in with diamonds or virgins. It is being upfront about the risk and the real opportunity for small/medium size rewards as you learn. We just cant toss 10k worth of mining gear at people and say "START!", that is never going to work. Take $100-300 dollars play around with it while you learn Start off with what you know you can absolutely afford to lose try a few options. Even if you hate it, even if you get robbed, try to learn something from it relevant to Bitcoin/economics. No matter how slim there is a good chance you might make $100-500 return while you learn. I just think this is a better way to bring people in. This is what I am doing. Everyone has their own thing, I guess. But if you have any 3rd party input your 2 yrs are invaluable. I just think while learning altcoin/trading losing what you can afford to lose or making .5-4% could not hurt.
