For only 80 bucks every month you would have a better chance to make big money by investing them in long shot altcoins. But dont make the mistake of thinking that cryptocurrency investments are like real investments. Theyre like the slot machine in the casino. Sometimes you hit the jackpot but most of the time you dont. What can you expect from 80 bucks anyway these days.

Mining separately as an individual has become very rare these days especially because of the huge mining pools now a days also for the fact that if you dont have free electricity, the roi is very very less. You have to be very optimistic to have your returns in a year or two if you dont have free electricity. It's just not worth it.

That depends on mining you want to invest. Bitcoin mining needs to buy necessary tools in able to build a miner. Its a bit expensive. Profits can be good. But the expenses will cut the profit. Electricity cost and internet. Make sure these two are cheap in your location before jumping into mining.
The other one is cloudmining. You dont need to buy mining equipments. Its like renting their mining equipments. But its not profitable anymore. You should try trading. You can make good profits from there.

I just opened my eyes to Bitcoin mining, I save up 80$ every month and was thinking maybe investing them in bitcoins wouldn't be that bad an idea? Whats your thoughts on this, what should a first timer know?

Investing in Bitcoin is always a great idea.  Investing in Bitcoin mining as others have stated, largely depends on the price you pay for electricity.

This! You really to include and mention here if your country does only have cheap price when it comes to electricity consumption.

But if it is not that cheap, better to look for some other investments in bitcoin, mining is not the only investment that you can invest.

Trading is also good depending on your capability.

OP, why not invest in a different venture? For example, $80 a month invested into a bitcoin gambling site's bankroll can potentially bring a good profit. Cloud mining sites are sometimes unreliable, and physical mining isn't that easy.

Alternatively, you could use your savings to start a bitcoin related business, or invest in fiat stocks.

Investing in a mining operation at this point in time is a very complex decision not to be made by a newbie and not with 80 bucks a month, but buying some bitcoin or some well established altcoin is a good decision although any earnings are going to be low.

i think he can invest his money in bitcoin before he decide to bitcoin mining, with only 80$, i think its difficult to get big hashrate and in a month, we can only get less and we need long time before we can get ROI. i think its better to use 80$ to buy bitcoin when the trend is down, hold it in his wallet and sell it when its up. do it over and over until you can buy the hardware you want to mining bitcoin.

Yeah, it might be even better to just buy hashrate from reputable cloud mining operators. It would remove the hassle of setting up and maintaining it. You'd just have to wait for it to profit. Also, you can buy only a fraction of the hashing power and not really have to spend a lot of money as your initial investments.

It totally depends on where you are because you have to take into consideration the price of electricity. The power consumption of these miners are really heavy. It would eat up a lot of your earnings just paying for electricity. Then you have to buy miners which is a lot of money too! I don't really think it's a good investment nowadays.
hope OP recognized those opinion and if he still wanted to proceed with mining i think its much better to try with alts first because its still more easy and profitable mining alts with a good build mining system than trying your luck to mine btc, its just a matter of location and OP needs to review every resources that he can be found here before proceeding.

I don't want to discourage you but investing in bitcoin mining nowadays are hard enough because of the halving. And you need to save at least a year or even more months in able to make mining profitable. But examplens gave you a good suggestion that you can still mine but not with bitcoin, try with other alt coins or you can just buy bitcoins and wait for the price increase, that's effortless and no cost in monitoring + no electricity consumption.

Maybe you can look at altcoin section on this forum. Try to find perspective altcoin or reliable ICO crowdsale. you must first have a lot to read and only then to decide where to invest.
There are no clear investment situation, because it is so easy everyone would be rich here
