I think there are several important factors. 1. Bitcoins can still keep a high price in 2018. 2. You must have a low price for electricity.
 To meet these two points, I think you can still dig in 2018.Roll Eyes

Mining is the best platform because it is feasible to buy every month. But it takes more power consumption so many users are spared from the mining platform. Moreover, bitcoin in 2018 mining is not too increased but prices often rise and increase.

Imo it isn't worth it to mine bitcoins in 2018 as the current electricity rates are very high (especially in India) and even Nvidia declared that they don't want to sell GPUs to miners but they want to sell them to gamers as they get feedback from them.

Keeping the hardware and electricity issues aside, the difficulty while mining has increased as well and this is becoming a lot more competitive than expected.

Therefore, I don't think that investing in a mining rig would be profitable in the current scenario.
Mining using ASIC is still profitable even more when you have free electricity Smiley Smiley Smiley

Yes, the current bitcoin trend is still very good.
I believe that bitcoin will continue to grow rapidly in 2018.
It will soon return to normal and reach new targets.

My question is if it's still worth buying Asic's and start mining BTC in 2018.

If not mine BTC what other coin is it worth to mine nowadays?

For me it is not profitable. I sold my mining equipment, when I got that trading, when you do it after thinking over your scheme of business, brings more. Yes, mining is not risky, but ASIC will eat much money.

I'm also sure of the upcoming time, all the chaos that happened yesterday will soon recover as usual in the near future.

Mining it profitable but you have to think long term. You should keep the mined coins for few years. This means you need to invest some money out of own pocket on equipment without any earning for that time.


Yes mining is really profitable you should really think for it but base on some lititle birds I know you can barrow on banks now a days because bitcoin is getting long which people acknowledge now a days.

with think he money you barrowed you can buy a mineral or ASICS. 


Bitcoin mining is not advisable as earning profits as of now. I did not try to mine because all of my friends are withdrawing in mining. They said that it is just a costly and not anymore profitable. However, we can earn with mining but I think it is now good to mine in altcoins.

Well not because of you friends will not try anymore to invest in mining. Did you try to ask them why? What are the reasons of there widrawal?. Here is a little tip don't follow on what your friends doing be strong and be independent on things, try to separate yourself from them.

it is always worth mining bitcoin because bitcoin has a good future and with the price rise of it, you will always make more and more profit from what you have earned. so the risk is minimal. but  at the same time it is hard to mine it so you have to consider that also.

it is probably best to start with mining altcoins. specially if you are observant enough to switch fast between them and mine the coin that is getting pumped and dump your mined coins fast during the pumps to make the most amount of profit.

I read on some forums and facebook groups that mining bitcoin is not profitable now so they convert to altcoins mining. But it still depends on your specs, how much it costs you to build it and your monthly utility bills. Still profitable but I think mining altcoins is more profitable now.
I also read that too in a site, still uncertain if we should agree to that or disagree. But I think that whoever wants to mine bitcoin can do so if they have calculated or do an estimate of their profit after all expenses on electricity or software. We may be neglecting bitcoin mining now, when the price pumps up watch how most people will rush back to it. Bitcoin mining can't be quited so soon.

Of course it is still worth it to invest in bitcoin mining. actually mining bitcoin gives the fastest return of invest compared to other investment in just a year you will get your ROI but it is still depends on how much hashing power your mining hardware setup or how effective it is. if you are planning to do bitcoin mining but only want to invest couple of asic miners forget about it becaise i dont know if it will be profitable.
That differs from time to time, GPU mining seems to be more profitable than ASIC mining, looking at this website: https://www.cryptocompare.com/mining/#/equipment
Also hashing power doesn't really influence your ROI, hashes per price unit do. It doesn't matter whether you have a machine with 100 Mhash/s for $100 or a 200Mhash/s machine for $200, as you'll have the same ROI.

I'm bit confused about it. Because the beginning of 2018 is very bad. Bitcoin still not recovered from this crisis. So I'm waiting for the further movements,then only we can take a decision.

Bitcoin mining has grown from a handful of early enthusiasts into a cottage industry, into a specialized industrial-level venture. The easy money was scooped out a long time ago and what remains is buried under the cryptographic equivalent of tons of hard rock.

The sad truth is:

Only those with specialised, high-powered machinery are able to profitably extract bitcoins nowadays. While mining is still technically possible for anyone, those with underpowered setups will find more money is spent on electricity than is generated through mining.

In other words, mining won’t be profitable at a small scale unless you have access to free or really cheap electriciy.

The profit depends on the rate on your electricity bill. But I think it's not a bad idea to mine with the Antminer S9 as I expect the price of Bitcoin to recover in the next coming weeks. I can encourage mining from different places in the world to keep the network decentralized.

today the remaining bitcoin is only 4 million, and I think it's a bit late for mining. especially with a system that has not been normal, so it can disrupt the transaction. today I think everybody prefers trading rather than doing mining. and both generate huge profits.

Yes, Bitcoin mining is still profitable even these days and it can make you some good profits if you have a good ASIC miner like "Bitman  Antminer S9." But, like other mining rigs it will still depend on the cost of electricity, and if you have access to free electricity then profits are good enough.

Mining other alternative coins is also profitable, but unfortunately they can only be mined with GPU-miners that aren't pre-built by companies like "Bitman," but can be easily made by locals who are good at hardware stuff. Ethereum is more profitable as compare to Bitcoin, and with a good GPU-Rig one could easily expect 160 MH/s with 6 GPU-Rig.


You can also calculate mining profits with online calculators like that of crypto-compare. The calculator gives you accurate profits that you earn from mining different coins.
