As you see from the first page until the last in this topic, peoples said investing in cloud mining is not recommended anymore. Most of cloud mining site is end scam.
Better invest your money on trading. You can control your money by self. It's just need a little bit skill about knowing how the market or price move.

I want to know how these companies know how much hash power to add to what you have to maintain steady income. They don't really tell you this, not that I know of and this is bad. They lack transparency. I think you will be better off investing in a casino instead. You can make more and it will be a stead growth over a few months.

Yes you can say its still worth it and it is still worth it but its not like back in the days with insane profits of course.
The OP want be trying investing in cloud mining service with about $100 capital, please check on main page.
I don't think it is worth for making profit although will need long time.
I am doubt we can get return of investment with put the bitcoins on cloud mining service,
Although it is recomended service like hashnest, because of the difficulty of bitcoins that more increase.

Actually IMO the environment nowadays is much better than a few months prior to the halving. The difficulty back then was increasing very significantly while the price was in a constant decline. At least now the price has been on a steady increase.

And on average the difficulty increase has been under 4.5% for 2016, makes it much easier to predict earnings if buying a device.

There is no guarantee in mining, Be it statistics or guts. Mining from 2012 to this day is all about taking a risk: gambling. Some win, most lose.

I would say it's worse than gambling. At least in gambling we have the money under our control all the time to choose how much to bet, which game to play... And we can withdraw our money any moment.

With cloud mining, we need to send all our money to the site to buy the mining power and pray for a good result in the end. As you said, few will win, many will lose. Currently it's the worse kind of investment in my opinion.

It's not "insane" back then. The price of bitcoin back then was really low so even if you own hundreds of bitcoins from mining, it's still not huge enough to be called insane. But today, that very same amount of bitcoin can surely be called insane amount. I think people from the future will have the same perspective about our mining right now. But since we do not live in the future, mining isn't that worth it unless you can wait for decades before you sell the coins that you've mined.

I think, for the moment, it is very difficult to find a reliable investment Minning. it might be better to do a hard Minning. although it has a high price, and revenues that are not too large, however, you yourself will manage the Minning. So, the maximum results depends on what you intend to do.

Investing in mining sites is not worth it anymore because also of the halving effects. The owners will just use your own money for their own good, they will just take over it. Mining is difficult now because it consume times very long and will just pay you a small amount, you can't get the returns.
I assume you are talking about cloud mining sites? If so, then you're definitely right. With current block rewards it is a waste of time and money to buy yourself hash shares.

Not only that, you also have to keep in mind that a cloud mining site can just decide to tremendously increase their maintenance fees which will result in your rewards vanishing.

Buying Bitcoin has always been the far better option. Look at the price right now, if you bought months ago, you would have doubled your money as we speak.

Totally crap, You can visit the mining section and read more about them if you have an apartment and you can run it with a lot of the benefit. Some bucks every day will sign into your pouch.
Profit or not, it will need more calculation because bitcoin is math.

What amount approx: a miner needs to setup his own mining system with high hash rates that could be profitable for him. Assume electricity price low as 4cents/kw. How much amount he should have to have his own mining hardware system??

Mining is profitable if you'll be mining alt coins ( bitcoins I doubt) and later sell them for bitcoins. This depends on a lot of factors and of course electricity is one of them so if for instance you have access to free electricity ( solar source) then even bitcoins mining can be profitable to you.
The solar source is so bad, every square panel were worth for 200 - 300 watt and this was a new model. But like the Chinese people do before, running about the silent mining farm and it means they can get a pure profit without think about the other factor will decreasing their profit.

Yes you can make good money but you have to wait some time in order to make good money, For that you need to spend more money on equipment, electricity, fees etc. Once you are fine with all these then you will make some money in long run, but you need to do complete calculation before buying any equipment.

Mining is still worth it but the fact is that you should indeed not doing it anymore for the bitcoin itself its just not profitable anymore with it, for altcoins its pretty profitable if you are having some good mining equipment.
There are many variables that, depending on the miner's situation, may facilitate or hinder the process. There are factors related to equipment costs, maintenance, electricity, and other factors that some people ignore, such as equipment shipping costs. This means that those who live near suppliers, generally have a competitive advantage.

Investing is worth it but you need some good equipment and the right altcoin to do this, if you have this it is worth it but you should also not blindly invest in it by the way.
