Mining is only profitable if you have decent capital to start with. Most miners today are large corporations that can afford expensive equipment and cover high electricity costs.
For a regular person, mining might not be feasible, but trading is a great alternative as you can start with a small capital to test your skills, and eventually over time, as you gain confidence and experience, you can gradually increase your exposure to improve profitability. The good thing about trading is that you don’t have to worry about monthly expenses or equipment maintenance, which can be a constant source of stress if you’re running mining rigs.

Only a small percentage of traders are profitable, and most make losses:

New traders
According to the 90-90-90 rule, 90% of new traders lose 90% of their deposits within 90 days.
