Well you are not the only one. I did the same thing but only because bank transfer would've taken a lot longer and I didn't have the patience. I paid my credit card the next day. Now I am selling coins to get my investment back. Hopefully I will be able to get my initial investment in a month.

I wouldn't recommend maxing it out.
What I would recommend is getting a new card with 0 apr offer for 12 to 15 months.

Spend enough money u can pay off before your offer is up.

That way ur not paying anything out of pocket and still borrowing money and paying it off in time.

Its a fun hobby! Easy to get addicted Wink Gotta watch out for difficulty and price drops tho  Wink

The thing is it isn't a hobby I started with a singular 1070 slowly worked my way up I have over 30 rigs now after using my earnings and invested into a right thing at the right time. Now me and my buddy who has about 20 rigs are about to rent out a small place really soon as he's expanding another 20 rigs. No longer a hobby buddy however I do not advice borrowing money for a business you can get messed up especially for cryptos.

I always advise to never borrow funds or take out loans to run any business. But thats me, and i always tell my associates or family the same. Especially when it comes to mining or bitcoin. I find it just way to risky to be taking loans for crypto. But doesnt mean you wont make profits and be able to pay back. My point is its just too risky. But hope you dont put yourself in a situation.

Hey All,

Just wondering if anyone has maxed their cards on mining gear?

I'm near it.  I'm generating a pretty good profit though that's earning me more than my credit card interest rate.

I'm wondering how everyone else is approaching it.  Do you continue to borrow and pay the interest?  Or do you cut down on the CC's?

*A part of me wonders if it's a good idea to pay off all the cards to get a higher credit limit... anyone else wonder this too?

You are living my dream

I don’t get it - you mean you just buy your mining gear with a credit card? What credit card are we talking about? One where you pay the balance every month? Is it more of a loan thing?

A good "trick"... get an AMAZON store card and then get 12-months 0% financing on GPUs purchased on AMAZON =)

I bought a good chunk of mine that way.

For any interest bearing money I used I sell 1/2 of my mined coins per month to cover and save the other half for investment.

I did it once on a low balance card.

As long as you and confident you can get everything up and running, and you have enough discipline to direct all profits to paying off the card, It's not as risky as people think.

But then again, Cryptos are unpredictable, so if you need the money for something else, use it for something else.

Pay off your credit card balance straight away, you fool(s).
Don't use credit cards to borrow money, the interest rate is way too high. You're throwing money away. Credit cards should be used as a normal mean of payment. Not to spend more than you have!
Listen to him!
He is more clever than you think.


Oh Really, is 0.5% per month way too high to you?that's the offer for most of my cards, OP has already stated he is generating a pretty good profit from it, I agree with paying it straight if you have the chance to, however , using cards with returns is also a wise investment.

I would be surprised if you are the only one. Like you said it's a simple case of return vs expenses
