You seem to be a risk-averse investor, then I would not recommend investing either Bitcoin or saving in bank, monetary fund might be your good choice.

The other take on this .... When you put money in a bank, you rely on them to keep it safe. {Centralized} .... When you buy gold or shares, you once again rely on someone else to keep it safe.

Your investment rarely beat inflation, so you lose money in the long run. 

When you invest some {not all} of your money in Bitcoin, you have full control over that investment. {No inbetween broker or financial expert taking commissions} You decide... 

i'd just made that post though. and you made me laugh speaking of worlds in singular form. i have an entire galaxy spiraling around me.

Depends on your appetite for risk,

You'll earn close to zero at a bank, but you won't lose money (assuming you're in the US, other countries may be different). If you can commit to not touching those funds for a period, you'll get slightly more for a CD

Whereas anything else, you do face risk.

For certain, if you need access to your cash in 6 months to a year, saving it is the better way to go, but the further out your timeframe goes, the better the likelihood of a positive return elsewhere.

dependinh how much you have to save invest, I'd say that you should approach investing in a diversified manner; don't just go 100% gold or 100% real estate, but rather allocate some money to gold, to re and to equitutes. Mr reason being, just as it's usually a bad idea to put all your eggs in one basket by buying only shares of a single company, where you have to worry about that companies operations, and whether or not it falls out of favor with other investors, putting all your funds into one asset class, while you're diversified in that sector, leaves you vulnerable to that sector falling out of favor;

You don't have to pick stocks or pick bonds, you can buy ETF's with exposure to hundreds or even thousands of underlying company's or bonds.

Long answer to a short question. Really we need more info about you, your goals, etc to be able to make even a guess

Everyone is giving advice without asking the most basic question of risk tolerance and time horizon.

Yes, sticks have historically returned an average of 10% per year. But not at a predictable rate in the short term. You might be up 5% one year, flat another, down 15% the next and then up 40% the year following. Long term, equities have been a great investment, but the shorter your time horizon the less "safe" they become. Just as with Bitcoin, you can't buy 10 shares of an ETF and have any assurance that you'll recurve the same value for it in 10 days time.

Except when you save your money looses value every year.  You actually loose more saving in the long term.

Well we are looking at it from different perspectives. I am looking at the investment a as long term investment where you buy it and leave it or add to it. You are looking at it from short term perspective so that is why we are disagreeing. If you want the lowest risk in the short run then it is best to put it into a bank if the risk is the biggest issue for you.

It's up to your ability. If you are a good trading you should invest it while the opposite is saving it

i would say invest in time, and earn money, like find a job that pay in bitcoin or join a signature campaign, everything that convert your time in money is the best solution right now

physical thing to invest in are ok, but i would prefer a land/farm land instead of an house
