Where are you cloud mining at?   As far as future we an guess, speculate, but we don't know when things will happen with new miners.

A lot has to do with your electricity.  What do you pay for electriity?  Also do you live where there is a vat?

Also, even if all the requirements align in your favor, do not expect to get "rich" by mining on a small scale. Everybody has a  definition of "rich", so if you are happy with a few USD per month in operating profit, then you are good to go.

In 99.99% of the cases no. If you do happen to have free electricity, need a heater, and are okay with noise, then yes it MIGHT return a profit. If Bitcoin doesn't keep falling.

I think it's too risky, there are high possibilty you won't reach ROI if you do mining. as bitcoin price keep failing everyday, and chance bitcoin price to get back too $1000 is very little. Another thing is bitcoin difficulty keep increasing, make mining condition is not good.
Stay with your cloud mining if you feel satisfied with them, and be sure you check it for ponzi possibility
Cloud mining can also be risky, there were several providers that turned out to be ponzi schemes. Both cloud mining and mining at home have certain advantages against the other. If op doesn't have to pay much for electricity mining at home could be much more profitable for him.
Yeah you're right, that's why i said be sure check his current cloud mining service is legit and non ponzi scheme.
I think most of cloud mining operate ponzi scheme, that's why they sold GHS contract cheaper than real mining price.
Hard to get cheaper electricity Sad

your question does not provide us the information we need to answer you.

A) your power cost
B) your internet cost
C) what country do you live in
D) do you own a good power supply
E) do you not mind a very loud antminer s-5
F) would you put in 20 dollars in mods to make it less noisy?

It's not late to buy an antminer given that they're the most efficient miners out there at the moment. S5 is the most efficient one with 0.51 watts per Gh/s depending on how cheap your electricity is other antminers could also be profitable for you.

And seeing that you ask if bitcoin could be $1k again, you shouldn't be betting on that. There's no way to know if it ever will, your goal with mining should be to prevent short-term losses so you can minimise the risk of having to shut down your miners due to losing money. You'll be paying a certain amount of your earning back to electricity anyway so your machine could theoretically end up generating debt. Luckily bitcoin dificulty has been relatively stable from February.

if you have cheap electricity go with it, but compared to cloud it won't change too much, and the risk is always there(maybe not about being scammed, but about receiving a units that is defective because the courier is an incompetent or something)

if you are doing good with cloud and your cloud is secure(not a ponzi or a scammer) i would suggest to stay with your cloud
