What can I do with 0.5 BTC? i want to double it but im scared to lose it in a stupid way

I don't think there is a versatile answer for your question.
My advices:
- Hold it (you won't get more bitcoins, but more value comparing to fiat)
- try lending, see section
Bitcoin Forum > Economy > Marketplace > Lending- invest some part in HYIP - check my signature (but its risky, as all hyips)
