Really? I am quite new to GLD but what makes you think it is better then all the alt coins out there??
Spoiler alert: It's just another crapcoin made by people who didn't strike it rich on Bitcoin. There have literally been dozens, and I'm sure we'll see dozens more long after GLD is forgotten.
On topic. The "best" way is highly subjective. Best for you is to set up something really low-maintenance and watch your money grow by itself...secure loans, bonds, whatever.
Best for the community, on the other hand, would be to take the 2 BTC and invest it in a new service - whether your own or a young service you think has potential. Then reap the dividends later if and when it succeeds. Keeping a virtuous cycle like this going can be highly lucrative and (most importantly) helps promote the usage of BTC as a proper medium of exchange.
