Topic: $1,500 to spend - buy btc, or buy another miner? (Read 808 times)
Don't buy miner, buy coins. It is basically riskier to buy miner and mine your coins than buy a coin and hold it. I suggest you to buy altcoins now since altcoins are all bleeding because of the recent hike in Bitcoin price.
I would spend it on altcoins if i were you , it is gonna be hard to even double your money with bitcoin.
For $ 1,500 I think you should invest in bitcoin. According to my predictions, bitcoin will increase in 2018. So if you invest in bitcoin, you will be profitable and use that amount for the miner buy. So the problem is only time. Or you can invest in minerals as long as you have time to mine. You will have a lot of choices. Hope you will make a wise decision.
I would buy Bitcoin with dollar cost average. That way the risk of losing my investment is not too bad. Also would probably invest in some altcoins with that money.
I think you'd better use your 1.500$ to buy BTC at the moment but buy miner I think it's a really bad idea for now 
). The mining difficulty of Bitcoin is increasing day by day so mining is not worth if you only invest 1.500$, you need to have thousands dollars if you want to earn good profit everyday from mining. So buy BTC and just hold or use it to trade is a better idea

So buy BTC and just hold or use it to trade is a better idea Buying bitcoin is always better than mining one because it will take you long time to mine bitcoin equivalent to your initial investment as mining bitcoin is not as profitable as it was used to be.
Not only that bitcoin is moving so fast that recovering the amount of bitcoin you invest in a miner may take a lot of time and may be even impossible to do it if bitcoin skyrockets, the time to mine for the average person with those miners was when bitcoin price was more or less stable now that bitcoin is skyrocketing there is no doubt which of the two is the most profitable option and that is to buy bitcoin directly.
Mining nowadays is very expensive and its almost worthless, especially if you re looking to mine Bitcoin, unless you have very cheap electricity. My suggestion is buying BTC and ETH and some other valuable coins and tokens with this amount, despite its considered small.
Thoughts everyone? What would you do with $1500?
Just a general advice if I may: take your time. Don't FOMO. Plan ahead and don't rush anything. You got your bonus and you're now eager to invest it to don't miss anything. Keep in mind that markets move and even if there is a trend, there are also corrections if a movement is too strong/fast.
I personally would invest $1500 in those projects I researched and that I'm following. Take your time and don't rush
Thanks guys
I think i will invest in buying BTC right now, and then when new mining equipment comes out early next year, hopefully i will have made a little profit on my btc investment so i can use that to buy another miner!
Although i now think i have missed my chance to buy in a dip - the lowest i saw on coinbase was $9,500, but with it now being over $11,500, i dont think it will drop that low again!
maybe i just have to bite the bullet and buy at $11,500?

I would buy another miner, if you really have time and skills for it, why not?
1500$ isn't a big amount so i would suggest you to buy Bitcoin for trading, 1500$ isn't enough for miner.
Buy btc rather than spending in any, btc will probably reach the price high than today. You can earn big by buying and investing in btc. Btc has the price to become huge for the future be wise and confident to earn.
Buy BTC while it's still cheap. Don't worry if you buy at $8k or $11k, it will make little difference in the long term. This is unlike any phenomenon the world has seen before and we humans are unable to make sense of it yet, but BTC is only going up. Remember this when the price hits $1M in just a few years. That if the USD is even worth anything by then. You're welcome.
buy btw. less stress, higher exp. return
As you indicated, I would also not invest in Bitcoin now at this high price level. I would also rather wait for the correction. Actually we are in a pretty similar situation, I want to buy a miner too, but decided now to wait until the new series comes out. As the wait is long anyway, I guess it wont matter much. And I also wait for the Bitcoin correction, having some money sitting in my exchange account and waiting for a serious correction for almost two months now. I missed the whole surge with that money... As you asked how low can it go: I have no idea, its really unpredictable, but I hope for $7500 or $8000 as an entry when the correction sets in.
It is more advisable to buy bitcoin than buying a miner, since a lot of people would've bought miners, before they even invested, the problem you will have with miners, will be the cost of maintenace, just by the power source or electricity, you might pay even higher price, though you have mined bitcoin. It is much better to buy bitcoin, hodl or trade it for the time being, and wait till it reaches its highest value.
Buying new miner would be good probably that would be a good decisions if it's an S9 one. I know there is hype of bitcoin price this time around but we may not know how long this hype might last, and moreover your mind might change too if you buy then dump would happen at the very short span you buy it. Somehow if you buy another miner and the crypto you mine is pumping it might be a good earning for you. Hope that you would take my suggestion if ever you may find it good and helpful.
i think you would prefer with buy BTC because BTC value is highly increase with parabolic curve.if minning site they have own power some sites are immediately shutdown after you will lose your money.
Buying bitcoin is always better than mining one because it will take you long time to mine bitcoin equivalent to your initial investment as mining bitcoin is not as profitable as it was used to be.
So after being paid a little bonus, i'm wondering what is best to do....
I'm not sure how low BTC will come down to after this monsterous surge, so i figure i have 2 options:
1 - Buy BTC when i figure is the best time. But when is that time?!?! Is it when it reaches $9,000? $8,000? Is it even likely to go that low again?
2 - Buy another miner and have it hosted somewhere. I already have a home miner so i'd like somewhere cheaper to run another one (expensive and inconvenient in the UK), and i'd like to skip the $200/250 import VAT duty. But then i have to wait 2 months or so for an S9. Or maybe worth waiting until the new Avalon 8 series comes out early next year?
With this amazing surge in price, i'm tempted to just buy more BTC, but then i am concerned the price might correct itself and lose out.

Maybe just buy a bitcoin , but mine is a good source too , worth it I think but , the bills of the power the electric bill I guess. And somehow Its better to just buy coin , the price of bitcoin now is almost $11k , so probably many people buying and investing. Yes we all know that it is an unstable or a decentrelized coin , but you can hold it. And maybe after you hold it and when that time is come , then buy a miner. And invest again through bitcoin , you can have an good profit. And definitely it may lose out or decrease the value of it , we don't know what will the price next day or in the future , but remember that right know as in right know , the bitcoin is still rising up.

If you already own a miner and making profit over it my suggest is to purchase a new one!
Mining with a capital as much as $1,500 will not give as much result as your expectation, there's tons of people with big capital coming to invest and buy some miners, while the people with low budget gets crushed by the increasing of difficulties every diffuclty adjustment. I woul dprefer to invest on btc more,than buying a mining rigs, because simple, it looks more promising with small amount of money.
If I were you then I will straight away buy bitcoin. I have been to UK earlier and know very well that how costly things are there. My electricity bills were more than enough for me to know how costly UK is. That’s might be because of the currency difference though but whatever it is, it is costly in that regards.
Also, buying bitcoin at this rate is also good as we will not see anymore downfall in the time to come. The reason is market correction has already been done and it made the price of bitcoin to fluctuate by 1-2K few days ago. However now onwards bitcoin price will surge only in upward direction so I’m sure that buying would be beneficial here.
Your import VAT charge of 200 USD can turn into 400 USD in no time if you buy bitcoin with it on today’s date. ;-)

In my opinion, mining bitcoin through S9 does not give you good profit any more. New miners are coming out soon in market, for now you should make bitcoin investment one of the particular option. Bitcoin is unstoppable as more companies are getting involved in this market.
The best decision is to put all your afforfable funds into bitcoin because we don't know when it rises to $15000-$20000

You can try to invest your money in the bitcoin since you know about the electricity is so expensive in UK. Just buy the dip and then wait for it until the price will be back again in the future. I'm not sure how low BTC will come down to after this monsterous surge, so i figure i have 2 options:

Remember you must do a lot of research to buy the more miner especially the ROI will be so long.

Buy $1500 of BTC during a dip. Wait a few days, maybe a week or two, till it goes up $1500, then sell that portion of BTC (hodl the rest of your dip purchase, so about half) and get your miner.

I don't think it makes sense to put that into mining right now. Try to get the best of a cycle and you may be able to make good returns on your bitcoin if you invest. Or you could look into some altcoins that have been performing well and work your money into them. It'll take some research, but if you do it right, you'll end up in the green. I just don't think mining is as profitable as it once was.
Is that a Christmas bonus of what? 
Majority of members says that its better to invest it on bitcoin only, so I think that will be the right choice mate. Just look at the current price and just compare it like 2 days ago. Know we are back to above $11,000 and I'm sure that if you bought your money with bitcoin, you will something of a profit today. I cannot think of better investment than bitcoin itself. Of course there will be some correction because we can't go like this in the long run, but history tells us that bitcoin recovered and even go further that its previous highs. So no need to worry. I don't know about getting a new miner hardware though, the return of investment is now big as compare to just holding bitcoin in the long run.

I will probably buy bitcoin with that money. It would be less work. Besides, Bitcoin will pump again soon as a major financial market will add Bitcoin. You don't wanna miss that opportunity. I think Bitcoin will reach $15k before the year ends. Mining can be profitable if you have cheap electricity, cheap internet and cold environment since you need to cool your miner to avoid overheating. If you don't have this. I don't think mining can give you decent profit. You have to calculate everything first before making decision to mine Bitcoin.
In this situation you should buy something that will surely make you great profit not the one that is to expensive and inconvenient for you cause not only it will not make profit but also make you lost your money due to maintenance fee, eletricity fee and other expensive stuff that will make you buy in order to get a promise of a better performance. When you can just buy bitcoin hold it then sit back and relax.
You could better buy some more bitcoin with your money.Just wait for a small dip but don't expect a bigger one.Just avoid buying another miner.Why do you want to lock your investment once again by buying a miner,then providing cooler equipments for that and face difficulties if suddenly government bans bitcoin mining.
Just buy some more bitcoins as more probability is that bitcoin price would rise more in future as wallstreet companies have started to change their attitude of opposing bitcoins and have started to invest in it.Just they want to join the winning team.So,investing in bitcoins would be a thousand times better option than buying a miner.

Throughout the years one thing has become perfectly clear -- buying crypto directly has always been far more rewarding than whatever form of mining. If we also look at what price you should enter the market at, there is no real solid answer that will satisfy you since no one has a single clue about that. Just buy Bitcoin at any given price, and keep it for at least a year. In current bullish market with CME and Nasdaq joining the party, there is an insane amount growth potential to realize in the next year. I wouldn't hesitate and just go for it, because the longer you wait, the more gains you'll be missing out on.
I think you'd be better of buying bitcoin than buying a miner. Did you do any calculations for break even costs etc?
I've thought about this question in the past. I've seen people do ok for themselves making/selling jewelry or artwork. Having a lot of followers on social media seems to help with this. It might be possible to buy a sewing machine and start a small fashion business. I don't know anyone who has done it but if the price of fabric is low enough, there could be a niche market for those who enjoy cosplaying and creating custom attire.
I see 3D printers going for $300 on amazon and wonder sometimes if its possible to start a small business printing miniature figurines, jewelry, or other items and selling on ebay. Production and manufacturing is very affordable and easily accessible these days. It might even be possible to buy a guitar or keyboard and use it to produce clips on youtube to earn ad revenue.
None of my ideas may be any good. But there could be 3rd options to the HODL versus mining paradigm common in crypto that are affordable and worth pursuing.

Well, you have your answer now. It has reached $9,000, twice, and is trying very hard to break loose from that floor. So yes, it is likely to go low, dip, correct, however you want to calll it. But it is just as likely to surge up even higher. And as likely to drop even lower. I don't want to be pessimistic but I'm ready for it to test $5,000 floors
2 - Buy another miner and have it hosted somewhere. I already have a home miner so i'd like somewhere cheaper to run another one (expensive and inconvenient in the UK), and i'd like to skip the $200/250 import VAT duty.

Can't give an expert opinion, but any expert miner will tell you to wait, I'm sure. And any expert miner who already knows how to be profitable won't be concerned about dips and surges. Just choose a plan and stick to it.
I'm not an expert anything, so my option is always to get Bitcoin. If i had spare cash, that's where it'll all go to.
If you are interested in arithmetic it is more profitable to buy bitcoin. But there is a significant problem. You for life, you must have the Fiat. You will have to sell some coins to provide for their needs. In this case, the number of your bitcoins will be permanently reduced. Coin mining will always be profitable.
I have this in excess of what i need. Therefore the $1500 is here, and ready, to invest.
My question which investment is better?

Personally, I would take the easy route and buy a little more Bitcoin with it. I would set a target buy price for whatever you are comfortable with ($9000 maybe?) and wait to see what happens. Or you could just wait and if the price takes a bigger drop, then buy. If it doesn’t drop much, you can use the money for mining.
For me, I wouldn’t worry too much about whether I bought at $9000 or $8500 because I would hold to sell at $25,000 at least and probably more than that. I would expect a good profit either way.
My opinion is you buy bitcoins then you will get approximately 0.16+ BTC, and you can wait up to the price cross $20k then what is your profit just $1500. And we are not sure when the price will reach $20k your good luck within 2 months it will cross or your bad luck it may take a year. But mining is not like that you can mine your coins, and when you need money, you can sell it. Before making any decision think it from all ways.

Just a general advice if I may: take your time. Don't FOMO. Plan ahead and don't rush anything. You got your bonus and you're now eager to invest it to don't miss anything. Keep in mind that markets move and even if there is a trend, there are also corrections if a movement is too strong/fast.
I personally would invest $1500 in those projects I researched and that I'm following. Take your time and don't rush
If I were to answer you now, then it is suggested to invest all your $1,500 into BTC, because BTC is doing correction now, definitely will climb back to $11k and even more.
If you are interested in arithmetic it is more profitable to buy bitcoin. But there is a significant problem. You for life, you must have the Fiat. You will have to sell some coins to provide for their needs. In this case, the number of your bitcoins will be permanently reduced. Coin mining will always be profitable.
I have this in excess of what i need. Therefore the $1500 is here, and ready, to invest.
My question which investment is better?
You get way more profit buying Bitcoins instead of buying a another miner. Today nearly every coin is falling, because the sellers are a bit stressed so they actually are selling their coins. Bitcoin is going also down this is the time for you to buy some Bitcoins.

So after being paid a little bonus, i'm wondering what is best to do....
I'm not sure how low BTC will come down to after this monsterous surge, so i figure i have 2 options:
1 - Buy BTC when i figure is the best time. But when is that time?!?! Is it when it reaches $9,000? $8,000? Is it even likely to go that low again?
2 - Buy another miner and have it hosted somewhere. I already have a home miner so i'd like somewhere cheaper to run another one (expensive and inconvenient in the UK), and i'd like to skip the $200/250 import VAT duty. But then i have to wait 2 months or so for an S9. Or maybe worth waiting until the new Avalon 8 series comes out early next year?
With this amazing surge in price, i'm tempted to just buy more BTC, but then i am concerned the price might correct itself and lose out.
