bitcoin, you may get 10x in six months

I did this, sadly only a few hundred. Invested ~six months ago, and now it is worth double.

Are you talking paper gains or actual cashed out real money gains?

Bitcoin is virtual currency based on massive electricity consumption. Due to the ever increasing difficulty of mining, it is effectively a Ponzi Scheme.

Give it to a winning cash poker grinder with good table selection skills. Hire an auditor to rail all his sessions and be his banker.

There is an abundance of talent to pick through if you are on the buy side of this type of transaction.

The skill in this type of investing is in deal negotiation and crafting terms to deal with where your players are weak. They all are somehow, but in different ways.

Paper gains. Sure its a pyramid of assumptions that could topple at any moment.

But if it continues the way it has been, then it can accomplish the goal.

3-6 months time span? Ponzi Schemes are my weapon of choice.

Home renovations. New kitchen, bath, enclosed porch. It might not increase the appraised value by twice, but I could convince myself to believe it.

On first glance, I thought you would do a renovation business. That could certainly make $200k in 6 months.
