Patience will give good returns down the road, but I think that keeping our funds ideal is not a good idea in the environment where we can use our resources and achieve growth. Bitcoin has the potential of growing itself so how about investing it in various options so that one can get more than what he has invested. There are services like peer to peer lending, stock, commodities, forex trading and yes there is risk associated with it, but there is also a risk in keeping bitcoins ideal.
