IMO it's better if you just study about trading and for sure if you understand the market in trading it will be easy for you to earn big amount of bitcoin without taking high risk.
how about create your own "real mining" not only cloudmining.
im sure you will get more benefit from it.
now i spend arround $1500 and earning 0.5-0.8 ethereum perday. it's small earning but "real mining" make you feel more secure.
this is one of the best options but it is not working out for everyone. you need to invest a big amount at first then you have to pay a lot for electricity and if the cost of electricity is high in your place you will be left with no profit at all.
also you should take into account that you need to run a computer all day and tolerate the sound and do proper cooling.
It is much easy to buy and hold the bitcoin or the Ethereum if it becomes popular again. Mining is too risky.
mining is only profitable for larger operations/farms. the average miner will waste many days or weeks mining for just a few cents. buying in this case is always the best option. it saves you a lot time and effort, and headache.
If you think the bitcoin price will rise, it is better just to buy and hold the coins. Mining is for cheap electricity only.
