My plan is the accumulate slow steady bitcoins through cloud mining and faucets. Ill slowly reinvest into powers into cloud mining, hopefully bring in passive income for some time. I think bit coin will continue to rise for the next couple years so cloud mining passively seems very lucrative. Nothing to get rich fast. But a good long term investment point of view.
Don't invest your money stuck into cloud mining. I guess that at this point everyone knows that the cloud mining industry is full of scam sites. I hope you know what you are doing.
That's true. If you really want to invest on cloud mining sites, just be sure that you do not invest all your bitcoin in just one mining site. There's also a risk on investing, so you must look out for a good site. And ofcourse you must save some of your bitcoin, because most of the mining sites shutdown or turned into scam as time passes by. Also think of any other option aside from cloud mining and faucets, there are many other ways out there to earn bitcoin.
There are no profitable cloudmining companies anymore. There are legit ones such as Genesis Mining, but they will end up costing you money instead of generating money, especially if you 'invest' (haha) in SHA256-mining. Mining ETH in the cloud is slightly profitable, but it will stop doing so when the ETH price goes down. And if you are of the opinion that the ETH price will go up, you're better off just buying some ETH and waiting for it's value to increase. Not only more profitable but much safer too, as you can cut your losses any time you please.
I personally made quite a lot of money through pre-paid contracts at megamine.com. I lost quite a lot at genesis-mining.com.
As for the OP, the best way to get rich with BTC is to start a company offering a service that makes BTC easier to use. A friend once told me, when gold fever breaks out, you'd better be the one selling shovels.
Another way is to speculate successfully. But that's ultimately quite a gamble, especially since you'd need a big starting capital to have big gains. I'm trying going down this road, loaned some money, doubled the fiat-value so far, hoping to double again soon by selling BTC for altcoins at what I will have to guess is about the top of the value of BTC say a month or two months after the halving, then buying back in a month later. Risky tho.
