The best advice in this way is to buy some some coins with the RIG money and hold them.
You have not to confuse the ROI RIG and the price increase of the coins you mine. If you think the value of the coin will increase, it is more better to buy this coin with the money you not spend to buy a RIG.
Make some simulations with historical prices :-).
I have tend to disagree with parts of these statements.. rig in cash, hoarding coins, and selling obviously could be very profitable - if done the right way - all about everyones personal goals..
If you think the value of a coin will increase, is it better to buy it with money you would've spent on a rig?...is it though?..
I've ran multiple strategies with different setups, literal and hypothetical.. MEETING and passing my ROI if approached correctly. And based on WHEN you got in, it has been more profitable to run my current strat. versus buying my desired coin.
Well you could potentially make more money investing rather than mining but mining is fairly safe as long as your rig is paid off. I am not really buying into this sky is falling attitude that is going around but definitely AMD is lagging behind Nvidia as of right now. Ethereum is becoming less and less profitable to mine due to difficulty and the ice age. Also Nvidia cards are far more adaptable as far as which coins you can mine profitably which is a big plus. The resale value of the 1080 TI's will be there for 2 years regardless of the crypto market so it seems like a no brainer to me. To each their own of course.
