Should i invest in Cloud mining or Hardware mining ?
hardware mining is the best you money use hardware mining, you can have hardware use mining and can use forever before corrupt youre hardware
and cloud mining you nothing have hardware only investment long time Break event point, and majority only ponzy scheme and someday is scam
For me if we are talking about its legitimacy of earning bitcoins, hardware mining is the best for two choices. Because cloud mining is surely a scam and that's proven by many of the people here. And if you don't want to be another victim of them, better not to put interest on investing with cloud mining or you will regret it.
Cloud mining is not scam, it is cloud mining. You are talking about ponzi scams.
However, logically it is better to mine with your own equipment than rent it from someone(like everything else in life)
Since you're a Newbie, I will assume that you've never heard of hashOcean, Scrypt.cc and the thousand other ponzi scams that are hiding under the name of "cloud mining". All of these website run away when there's already a good amount of people invested in their website. Mostly they claim that they got hacked so the investors will not feel as bad as when they simply run away without saying any lame reason to do so.
There might be an existing cloud mining site but it will be much better if you buy your own hardware if you can afford to buy one anyway.
