- Thread starter busowner987

@busowner987 - do have a look at the multiple previous threads on here about what to do if you have £15, £50, £100, £250K etc to invest in a business.

This risk is massive if you don't know what you are doing.
But that also applies to start up restaurants, bars etc etc (seen many people loose their homes in those businesses)
I know a lot about lending - and collections & would be extremely selective in who I partnered with.

Indeed . And next year you might earn more
or you might earn nothing
I’ve yet to meet anyone who could offer intelligent or informed predictions on this

No thanks - I've outlined my risk appetite on this forum.
I would however be interested in seeing reasoned predictions on here

1 rig uses 1KW of power and runs off 1MB of internet - But last year when the market was at a low point 1 rig made £7100 net, you deduct your electricity off that which is rounded up to £1200 for the year that still leaves you with £5900 net and a 59% ROI plus because you own the equipment you asset positive in your first year.

The future of what exactly?
The underlying concept of blockchain, i.e. a decentralized, distributed and public digital ledger that's used to record transactions in a way they can't be altered retroactively, without the alteration of all subsequent blocks - is interesting and has been put to good use with a few startups I've seen.
Apart from that ****** is all bs.

Going back to what @busowner987 asked, I think it depends on what you want:
1. If you want to set up a business, do something you have the right skills to run (if you have an existing business, maybe expand it).
2. If you want a passive investment, there are lots of options, depends on things like what trade off of risk and return you are happy with and how long term you are investing for.
3. If you want to invest but want a more active role, maybe angel investing or buying a stake in a smallish business.
The last is an attractive compromise in many ways, but its difficult. You need to assess the business yourself, decide whether you trust the people running it, and negotiate how much say you get. Lending instead gets rid of the last problem.
