yes may be true because the price is down and I'm sure the future will be good again.

In case you are looking for a quick action then you have to buy, If you want to accumulate bitcoin only by mining then you have to first invest for buying a rig or miner, then depending upon your miner you can mine bitcoin (a part of that is the electricity cost). So accumulation by mining could be long process.

Bitcoin mining is difficult and expensive, you have to invest a reasonable amount of money. Buying bitcoin would be better.

 i think Bitcoin is only profitable if done at large scales. you must get expensive mining equipment and of course it consumes a lot of electricity monthly. Also it’s usually much more cost effective to buy Bitcoins with this money instead of using it to buy mining equipment.


for starter pack, just use what you have and what you can done right now, i think if you good at it, profit will come to you, you can join for airdrop or bounty, trading is good to if you only have a bunch of bucks, but you maybe also consider for free btc by go to more deep in this forum  Grin

If youre going to buy btc, buy the dip, buy now while it is crashing. Thats the good entry point

I would say buying is better if you have time, knowledge and will to trade for max profit.
If u don't have that and you would like to accumulate btc or some other mining alts and not to worry about daily market than mine. Buy good rigs/miners, plug them in and let them do the job.

Overall buying/trading i believe give you more profit.

Unless your electricty is dirt cheap or/and you're planning to do it on a large scale : Forget about mining Bitcoin .  Wink

Buying Bitcoin can be profitable but it's a gamble. Specially at the moment Grin.

Mining requires an expensive hardware, though it can give you a steady income everyday it will take almost a year before you have your ROI. For me, its better to invest in buying bitcoin than buying a mining rig, because it can givr us a better profit and you can also use it on trading or buying some altcoins to maximize your income.

You basically right. You must acquire a good mining rig if you want to prosper in mining.  But by looking at the current situation,  it is best to  invest in bitcoin now and take advantage of this big drop. You will definitely get the best out of this.

Almost all bitcoin I have was mined, and I certainly don't think it was a wrong decision. If I had decided to buy it, for the same money I would have had larger holdings, that is true. But the things I learnt in a process of mining - well, this is something priceless.

If I were to make that decision again, it would be the same.

To mine Bitcoin now,, you would need GPUs and ASICs and a modern rig which overall is expensive to get and you need electricity to keep. Because the prices of bitcoin has grossly fallen, buying now is the wise thing to do.

Buying Bitcoin at this time is a more sensible move than mining because Bitcoin's value is down.

Both are better in their own ways if only you have a capital to invest to buy/hold some bitcoins or buy some equipment to mine some bitcoin. Nowadays, if you mine bitcoin it wouldn't be just as profitable like before since the difficulty get larger and cost to electricity for some ASIC miner is huge to accommodate. I think those profitable of bitcoin are those who has farms of their own or those who has low cost of electricity regions. Better if you have small capital to buy right now since bitcoin is in dip then hold it on what objective you do want to sell it.

I agree, but buying bitcoin has also a risk especially now that its dropping. You can mine without such expensive mining equipment but you are right about it being less profitable. You should choose wisely when taking a risk on bitcoin because it is decentralize and volatile.
