Topic: Is there really any money in this? - page 2. (Read 2842 times)
Historically, buying bitcoins has been more profitable than mining.
I've read through a bit of threads on here and I'm not totally convinced that there's any really money in this. How did you guys start off and begin to make any real money?
Honestly I'm afraid to invest in a computer to specifically mine, even though I the idea sounds cool to me. I'm running 2 overclocked 4890's and they don't seem to work that great in comparison to what other people are running. I'd be happy if this funded a couple of new video cards eventually. That would make this totally worth it in my mind. However, if I were to build a system I'm afraid it would just forever break even and I'd spend all my bc's on upgrading to pull in more hashes when things got harder. Couple that with fluctuating exchange rates and there's a lot of what if's. I've heard of people building systems to do this with their bc's and not paying a dime out of pocket and then pulling in even more, but is it possible still?
