It totally depends on wich kind of business you wuant to start
You can very comfortably start number of small projects by giving away your bitcoins. I think it is not a big deal actually but you need to plan and think well before making any kind of decision. Ill prefer to keep bitcoins and start trading of bitcoin instead of starting number of small projects. This will just add more trouble for me and it will require more hard work.
I agree with this better have a solid plan for your project first then look for someone who can help you with the project atleast whenever he asks you for details you can answer him if you have a solid plan.,
I also think like you the planning and the thinking is the best and the most important thing to have if you want ot start something. The value of the bitcoin will be high. It is good to invest in the bitcoin the small amount of your capital and then hold your money that you invested in the good and the better investment. The value will be high and the user will also make the bitcoin stronger so I think your income will grow and you will be able to get the profit in the future.
