The most secure way to gain from having bitcoins, with no risk at all is to lend them on bitfinex.com.

Do you have a guide on the lending process? The website is confusing with all the investing jargon.

It is impossible to not have any risk if you are lending.

You are paying 15% of your interest for insurance of the funds, so it's not imposible.

Your statement is not correct.

You are implying that you are purchasing insurance against the default of the borrower, but even this is not risk free, you are only mitigating the risk.


The borrower can't default. He can't take take your bitcoins or fiat and leave. He is just using it for margin trading and he will get his position close when he is aproaching the margin limit. The insurance is in case of a sudden spike or drop in the price and the platform could not react in time to close his position so it will cover the eventual loss.

What if the exchange goes under and/or if the price of bitcoin moves too fast for the exchange to automatically close the position?


The risk with the exchange going under it's a risk you are taking with every exchange and service related to bitcoin. If the price moves to fast and the exchange can't close the position on time then it will cover for the loss.

You are saying that there is no risk to the lending. You just admitted that there is some level of risk.
