difference between mining and investing bitcoin.
Which of the two options and more profitable???

both profitable, but according me mining is best option but it takes your time for mining, so hope everyone say this.

You use hardware to mine coins or you use money to buy coins and wait for their value to increase and the sell them.
Do you see the difference now ?


Both options can make you earn profit and can make you huge loss if not done properly.

I just think the mining needs a lot of capital and the results are promising and investment requires tremendous patience because the price is very volatile. little explanation that I know. ;)

It is up to you, mining is one of the great work that you can earn bitcoin but it requires an high specification hardware of computer before you mine. Unlike investing , you need only invest like you buy bitcoin for other cryptos or in money country. But both this are profitable it is only matter in the time because in the mining you need time and patience unlike invest you need only a seller

Mining Bitcoin is profitable only if your electricity in your country is cheap. I rather you buy Bitcoin and hodl it.

Hi Phebz, this topic should have been posted in bitcoin discussion since its all about bitcoin. Anyway, as for your question, its a matter of personal preference and there are several factors to consider. Mining is a good choice only if you have enough money to buy yourself a good mining rig.

I would rather buy and HODL bitcoin. If you have the equipment and electricity, mining is profitable too.

Both are profitable but the profit is still depends on how much money you can invest. Investing in cryptocurrency mining requires huge amount of money to buy mining hardwares, pay electricity bills and maintenance but in all kinds of investments  mining gives the fastest return of investment. while just buying bitcoin is also profitable, if the price goes up you will get your profit but if you invested small or average amount of money of course expect less profit. In my opinion if you have money to buy asic miners go for it.

I think trading or investing is a good idea to earn bitcoin. you just need more knowledge about crypto world and crypto market.

those are same profitable, but investing is more profitable and faster than mining, because in mining it can take a lot of time and in investing you just wait until the project is done and it not take a lot of time than the other one.

Mining is one of the great work that you can earn bitcoin but it need an high specification hardware of computer to manage it. Unlike investing , you need only invest your money. Depend what do you realy want and how much free time do you have. So,have fun.

Mining and investing in bitcoin are very different activities.
It is like buying a car that you are going to rent and buying stocks in the stock market.
You either invest in gear that is going to work for you or buying coins.

Neither, I'd rather invest in Altcoins.

OP try all of way to earn here because you need that and you can learn also in that,i think if you can earn even it's little still you can earn by that so no need to ask which is profitable.We are here to earn big so do hardwork we only need to study crypto and the more knowledge the more earnings,this is already like a job and your earnings here depends on your hardwork another thing this is nonstop jobs.

Cost of entering the market for investing and trading, tooling up cost for Mining. Finding a level that suits your level of capital and the risk reward ratio associated with your target for ROI. There are various ways to get into Mining without the requirement to purchase the hardware and this can be done through companies that offer you the facility without the maintenance and running costs and is built into a contractual cost with a notional return on the sums invested.Trading requires skills and practice to know the entry and exit points and one cannot simply think that Bitcoin or whichever coin you select is going to rise in a straight upward climb, there will be twists in the road

Both generate profits all back on your decision, mining requires a large capital when compared with investment.

Mining is much more profitable but it takes 2 things: big start-up capital and luck. If you aren't no ready to spend thousands of dollars on the farm you gotta stay away from mining. And luck of course, lots of luck.

Both ways for earning bitcoin is good but it depends on you which way you prefer to go because in mining you need lot of investment and need lot usage of electricity and you have to give some time also, on the other side investment better way then mining because if you study and research well about any coin i think you will definitely earn good money.I will suggest you to invest in good altcoins like Steller, Cardano and NEO for good profit.

if that is real mining and investing (not ponzi or HYIP) scheme i think you should go both, in case you have enough capital. because both of it will give you profit in long term and it is safe way to do

both are profitable, it's just that I do not really know about mining. in my country, the cost of electricity is so expensive that's why I prefer to invest. investment and mining are basically the same, must have sufficient capital.

You can earn bitcoin by mining and buying bitcoin.
for mining you required system, and it consumes power.  best option is buy a bitcoin when the price come down to 10 to 15 % from current price . Surely you will get good returns.

If you have enough money to buy mining rig then go for it because it is more profitable than investing, yet, investing these days are very risky because bitcoin is still at some correction and it is not stable yet

Both two is profitable but the mining has required power and every month you will pay a high bill for electricity. Investment is more profitable but in exchange is a very risky.

You can invest in bitcoin by buying it or you can mine it.If you want to mine also you need to invest in mining equipment.You can also buy bitcoin and trade it to make small profits.

It all depends on what you expect, and on your investments. Everywhere there are advantages and disadvantages and each of them will describe from their side. The choice is yours.

If you mean investing in any cryptocurrency, not just bitcoin, then investing is more profitable. If you just choose between investing in bitcoin or mining - here I find it difficult to answer)

i think the profitable for me is the mining because i can get more coins on mining and while investing is like waiting for the coin when it the price will grow.

Can't find a suitable comparison between the two options but I'd say mining is the process through which a coin is being produced and for which there are two big types : hardware & cloud mining . While investment is putting your money into a chosen coin and wait till it reaches higher levels .
So I can say mining is considered as an investment because the two options aim to gain profit .
The two are , but I'd prefer hardware mining.

If you have a powerful hardware and cheap electricity, mining will be more suitable for you. If no or you are interested in investing you can try to invest. It is more risky but everything is depend on you

Both options are profitable, but BTC miner rigs cost rather expensive, so you need a big amount of money to buy it. Contrariwise, you can buy BTC on exchange for any amount of money.

Who said mining is the risky investment. If you buy the ASIC hardwares like antminer s9, s7, avalon and etc. You may not assure that difficulty of the coin may grow or not and you cannot replace the hardware from the place bought it is doing international delivery.
ASIC hardwares are as of now can be used to mine the few top rated coins. So if difficulty increases as I said early you will find the profit reduce than you seeing the current time. I suggest to concentrate to mine the altcoins with the GPU rig which can used to mine any coins in the market.

mining meaning u mine it urself or use cloud mining. investing meaning buying bitcoins and keeping them

Sorry I didn't say like with you. Because to buy mining equipment need a lot money. You know what? since the bitcoin to be a popular in soceity all computer tools to support bitcoin mining rise up dramatically, so I didn't have much money to buy it. In contrast to investment, whatever amount is still able to make an investment. For income between mining and investment there is little difference, that is greater mining.

In my opinion, the more profitable is trading. Digging is becoming more and more difficult and more expensive, requires a lot of resources.
While if you trade every day you can make big profits constantly.
BUT, on the other hand, trade is very risky and not for everyone.
There need a lot of experience and knowledge.

"If you have a powerful hardware and cheap electricity"

So that discounts most people. Requires too much capital.

Both ways can allow you to earn. Both of it will allow you to invest ofcourse. But in mining usually it really takes time to earn given that you invested un hardware to mine coins. But when you invest bitcoin, the probability to earn quickly could be possible because the market usually goes up and down quickly.

You can choose any method to earn money. Both ways are good. I am sure that from investing in any cryptocurrency you will be thinking about what you want to expand your opportunities and buy mining equipment. If you start with mining you'll be sure to sell your coins. This will teach you how to buy and sell coins.

both are very different ,, mining is when the processor is working to find the bitcoin so that we only just control it and mining does not have the risk of loss, whereas our investment must spend capital and of course the risk of loss when the price falls or the failed project is very risky

Both of them can bring you profit, but mining now has become too expensive. If you do not have modern equipment to mine crypto coins, you will not get much. In case you are going to get big profits, you must invest into this equipment thousands. Thus investing as for me is better.

 :)Mining and investing in bitcoin are very different activities.
It is like buying a car that you are going to rent and buying stocks in the stock market.
You either invest in gear that is going to work for you or buying coins. :)

Mining needs a lot of working, takes a lot of time and tools to use to mine crypto while in investing, you will off course invest it depends on how much you want to, you just have to wait for the value or the price to increase and you will earn and make money.. you can profit both.. but it differ from the way you work on it,

I think it's better to start with mining because it's bigger than investing with a likelihood of losing or scam but when it comes to mining you just buy your own mining rig and you're sure to earn more than double the investment Because you invested in the small percentage that is given daily and it can still be a scam when it comes to that.

Both actually needs time to make a profit, but for me, I'd go for mining over than investing. Though you'll have to gain the rigs to mine, you still would handle your own time in it. Probably mine while working. Investing for me is like a gamble indeed. You'll never know when will it rise or take a dip, and it's kind of risky. It's all up to you on what you'll choose.

Its depend on what resource you have if your country has small electricity fees and you can buy a rig that will break even with your investment in your rig in just few months then go mining, but if you cant afford those two electricity and rig then you will go trading this is a good thing to invest in crypto currency.

Mining has many aspects needing for consideration, simply investing BTC for the long term is more profitable.

I think everything is equally profitable, but investing is more profitable and faster than mining, because in mining it can take a lot of time and invest you just wait until the project is over and it takes less time than the others.

Bitcoin is easy to earnings. But you will know about the bitcin information. If need to earn bitcoin. You will check the market places. Then you will get more information fornbuy the coin and you will get some idaes to improve the bitcoin. Mining process use to earn the earnings bitcoin. Trading is helpful to buy bitcoin. But need to buy you will know the price information. So before you buy check bitcoin prices list. Then you will buy.

IMHO for earning BTC due to mining you should have great start-up capital. On the contrary, investment is possible even in small amounts.
Of course, if you have a lot of many mining and investing are similar in terms of profitability. However, it is necessary to take into account the fact that now the price for BTC is gradually falling. That why now it is profitable to trade with crypto.

Samsung Is Now Building Bitcoin Mining Chips, Report Says.

https://www.coindesk.com/samsung-is-now-building-bitcoin-mining-chips-report-says/ (https://www.coindesk.com/samsung-is-now-building-bitcoin-mining-chips-report-says/)

It is a huge difference between mining Bitcoin and investing in Bitcoin.

If you are going to do mining, you have to buy equipment and set it to work. This equipment will earn coins every month, but will have expenses. Mainly electricity for the systems and cooling. The price of Bitcoin is irrelevant, because you have certain amount of coins regardless of their price.

When investing the price is very, very important, because you are buying coins and if the price drop you are losing money. What you actually earn is the difference in the price between buying and selling.

Both are profitable, however, mining is really difficult to set-up because you need to invest a lot of money on it. You need to consider the space, maintenance, good mining set-up and the bills you need to pay on running a mining rig. Investment on the other hand is risky, however, this is a good way to earn too.

i believe if you want to focus on getting more profit then choosing to invest in bitcoin will be much more profit because trading bitcoin can help you get more incomes from trading, also holding bitcoin for long term will bring you profit when the price gets higher in the future, however investing in bitcoin also has its own risks that you may loose money if trade fail or the price drops. instead mining bitcoin is much safer because you always earn little amount of bitcoin everytime, however it costs you huge fee all the time.

mining and investing are both profitable, in investing, all you have to do is to buy bitcoin and stored in for 3-5 years to earn better profits. while in mining you have to provide a expensive mining rigs, and expect a high consume of electricity. for the same laps of years (3-5 years) investing vs mining. you can earn more by means of mining instead of investing, like i said you have to provide that expensive rigs first.

In my own opinion, I think investing is better than mining bitcoins. Both bitcoin mining and investing requires you to spend an amount of money but in mining, it will require you a long period of time before you can earn profits from it while on investing, if ever you got lucky that the bitcoin you invest will be back to you sooner compared than mining. Both will be quite a long time for you to earn but investing is more effective and efficient specially if the site you invested with has a tier for referrals. Some of the people are getting profits from the referral in addition to the money they invested but I am not saying all of the investmemt sites requires you to have referral but the thing is, in investment sites, you will earn more profits if you gain referrals. I'm also not saying that bitcoin mining is not good, it is also good specially to those people who are expert in hardwares and computers. It is still based on persons thinking if what really is the better among the two.

Both are equally profitable, but it's good you see the process first before seeing the benefits. Mining is profitable but you need huge capital to start mining, not to mention the cost of electricity that you have to take into account. Invetation is also the same, you must be patient to wait and do not be discouraged if there is a decrease in price.

Both of them is profitable, but if u need me choose one will choose investing at bitcoin. And if i get some exprience and knowledge about mining i think i'l choose mining.

Both are profitable  but there is a big difference between the two a really have a differnce. Investing bitcoin accompanied by a so called risk because the price value is volatile and you may lose or earn with your investment while in bitcoin mining you dont need to invest your money to trade the only thing you need is to buy a compatible  mining rig and then you earned.

All the people will surely choose investing as a more profitable method.  Last time maybe mining is still profitable but now mining can't really earn any money now.

I think the difference is just a matter of waiting and capital.

About mining 3 Types Of Cryptocurrency Mining (https://steemit.com/cryptocurrency/@bitcoinflood/3-types-of-cryptocurrency-mining) so that you will have an idea on what mining really is.
A reminder also that don't invest in cloud mining, most of them are scams so don't trust any of them.
And in invest in bitcoin, you mean buying one and just holding it? This is what everybody knows and to compare what is more profitable, its mining. You are gaining more bitcoin and then its up to you if you'll hold it or sell it.

the difference from where bitcoin they get if the investment will get bitcoin from the purchase of bitcoin while for mining they get bitcoin from mined bitcoin. the more advantageous is bitcoin mining.

Well it depends on the available resources at hand. If one has everything needed for mining, while not venture into it cos its profitable. One must also consider his/her country's state to venture into either mining or buying Btc. For instance, electricity is kind of too dilapidating, so the only choice I gat is to buy and hold. Sincerely mining is dope if one can get the available resources needed

both are profitable, depending on which one you think is better. I personally do trade and investment. I think mining takes a lot of power, and a sophisticated computer. that's why I chose to trade.

For me, investment is much more profitable than mining, because to start mining requires huge capital to buy the equipment of mining equipment itself. Not only that, the consumption of electrical energy required to do the mining is so great that it has to pay the expensive electricity cost every month. Obviously different from investment, all we have to do is determine the right place to choose where to invest the money we have into a trustworthy Ico project that has good prospects in the future.

Mining mining is becoming more difficult, so I prefer to analyze the market and buy coins for correction, which eventually turns into profit

honestly, I never did mining. I feel very challenged to do mining. but that is the problem, in my country the cost of electricity is so expensive that this is what I have discouraged for mining. so I chose to invest. I invested in a lot of crypto and the results are quite encouraging.

little difference between them is seen from some important things of capital and time.

Trading could be better these days, cuz mining has become a bit harder  ;)

Mining is also sort of investing as you buy hardware. Now it depends you feel comfortable with what. These days most feel comfortable investing as mining is tough task and need huge investment if you are looking for big and decent outcome against initial investment.

Mining and investing are not the same thing. Most of the consumers will only invest if they are planning to hold the coin for a very long time in order to earn more profit while mining is a daily income coming from the block chain that recognizes your mining hardware. Google will be your friend for in depth information about mining.

If you have a lot of money,  you can try mining, because mining is simply job. You just set up mining rig etc. And you can got profit. But if you trading bitcoin you must be patient and smart. Because you must choose coin with good future for got profit. You buy in low price and sell in high Price.

Do both because they are profitable but there is a big difference between mining and investing, mining can make you more profitable depending on your hardware specs while investing is risky because of bitcoin regulations. I suggest that do trading

Both are good because it is very profitable but if I need to choose which one I will choose mining because you can be sure of your income there while in investing you cannot foretell what the future holds of the investment you are in.

in my opinion depends on the ability of individuals in running that business because both are good enough to do,and mining or investment has an opportunity good as to be able to get a profit from that business activity

Both of them might be profitable, but also I think both of them are getting harder gradually. But I can say that in a short way, to be a miner, you need some technical requirements at the beginning, but to invest bitcoin, you should just have a capital which doesn't matter much or little.

Mining isn't profitable now, if you can't invest in it more than 10K $, and, if you have 1-2K $ you can buy BTC when it falls and sell it when it raise, and in this way you can earn a lot of money, if you will be lucky)

Mining does not only take time but other than time, it also takes lot of consumption of the resources like that of power and electricity. Other than these resources, you also need to have some super computers having a fast processing and computing speed.

Only then you can mine something after a long period of time. I think of investing your money into bitcoin to be more suitable option for making fast money using less resources.

Well, that is the point. We can earn in bitcoin in many ways but if we want to acquire and get use for them all then it needs time and dedication of work to practice and gain strategy, i can say that there is big opportunity of earning big amount in crypto and it is unlimited as long as we pursue and focusing on it.

both are profitable you can do trading if you have more time to focus on what you're doing but if you have limited time like me because im also taking care of my family and cleaning our house everyday. I prefer investing because im just waiting the time to grow my investment.

In 2017, investing in bitcoin makes more money than investing in mining machines.
Because the bitcoin's gains this year is very striking, in early 2017, the price of the bitcoin is still less than $1000, but at the end of 2017, the bitcoin price reached $20000, and the mining machines investment profit is not very high.

it seems both are equally at risk with different risk levels of course because both are different treatments.
but live where we can and better understand, because the benefits gained depends on our understanding in the field.
if told to choose certainly I prefer to invest, because I better understand with this.

The difference between the two is in mining you working for the money while in investing money are working for you. If I have money I will focus more on investing. Investing still the most profitable among the two options most especially if you are good at finding good altcoins. Mining should be done if you are only looking for another source of income for investing.

When you are mining you are actually investing in bitcoin. Both are profitable but trading is much efficient when you want to double your profits overtime. You can trade what you mine and you can mine what you want to trade.

Mining is not of late profitable due to high cost of maintenance of mining hardware and electricity cost. Investing or trading is more profitable than mining.

For most, investing in bitcoin and keeping to the desired level is a way out of the situation for profit. Mining is not for the beginner and requires much more effort, time and money.

Both are profitable. In Mining, you are working for money while investing in Bitcoin,
you just wait to increase the value of BTC.

You can both trade with it. But in Bitcoin, you just have to focus and exert effort and time.
On the other hand, you can use a capital to invest both bitcoin and in mining.

Yes both are profitable but it depends on the capacity of one person, if you can afford to buy more powerful hardware for you mining much better but if not much better to invest your money in trading and participating in ICO.
Many people are earning with multiple method but me i only do trading and participating in ICO since i can not afford to buy mining equipment i focus my self in other method that give me good profit.

Mining is more stable, but less profitable. Investing is more risky, but it can make a big profit. The choice depends on the availability of free money, knowledge and the nervous system.  :D You can also combine both methods.

If invest the bitcoin you check the price list every day. Then price will be increase you sell it or invest any other coin to invest. It online process.
Mining process need to network and electronics power for work to mining. So you will use the mining proces. You learn the mining information. It important for the process. Card prices to high. So you know how use. Mining process easy to heat it need to cooling places.

the difference between mining and investing bitcoin are :
Investing is buying Bitcoins and wait for a price rise to get the profit.
Mining, is running a Bitcoin mining program and get the reward from mining.
 both are profitable it depends on you, if you have knowledge and  capital better for you is Investing and money will work for you.

It depends on how much would you invest in mining because mining rigs are so expensive with a long return of investment while investing in bitcoin alone isnt that much profitable because it might collapse anytime,invetors moved their money out from bitcoin's market,and ethereum might replace bitcoin if the great bitcoin will come to its end.

Mining is a passive type of earning Bitcoin and you'll just have to setup your machine and devices to operate 24 hours 7 days a week and it will continue to get satoshis into ur wallet.
But, I believe if you're a skilled trader then you could earn higher money than mining. But trading requires more time to monitor the market value in order to hit buy and sell if the price are getting low or high.
For me if you have other business and other important life activities then you'll better go for Bitcoin Mining, otherwise, Investing and trading will offer you higher earnings and return of investments.

It depends on the availability of your time and resources.

Mining consumes more, both time and resources. But with proper management, you can gain bigger returns.

Whereas buying coins and trading requires minimal supervision,

especially if you are into holding coins that you think have a huge potential.

or

You can do both if you have resources and time.

A huge factor comes from your dedication and persistency to achieve your goals.

For me i prefer to investing bitcoin than mining 'cause it is very expensive you need a capital on it before you can start and must have a good bitcoin mining  hardware to make sure that you don't end up spending all of your money on electricity . So i was you i will invest in bitcoin if you don't want to waste you money. But indeed having a bitcoin mining is good way also to gain more profits but you must have a good team to work with it.  

Both can earn profits, it's only how much and how well you know about its trading and the market happenings, if you know well and can study well both have factors to earn.

No i dont say this as the best earning source in crypto currency.
Mining is the best one regarding its stable income and the most safety one between other like trading, gambling, staking and lending.
However, its your choice then do it but mine is trading. I like more challenge and of course more benfit.

Mining would be more profitable than just holding your bitcoin alone,because anytime ethereum might replace bitcoin's position,bitcoin has very unstable market price right now a lot of manipulations would trigger most of the investors to switch to more stable coin like ethereum,while mining is a very good option because you can still earn consistently while you are asleep but it requires a lot of investment at first.

The crypto money world has lived before this moving dry. a lot of people are affected by this situation. they scared and sold their investments. The price of bitcoin will rise as soon as possible. It will wake up.BTC

It depends on your skills. For people who know how to applymining  hardware it is better to mine.  For those who know how the stocks work and who can deal with lots of information it is better to buy btc. Both require some initial amount of money and decent skills.

It's ridiculous to start this discussion here it’s better to to it in newbie board. I did not do the mining, but I think that it is much more profitable to invest in a cryptocurrency because you do not need to spend a lot of money on mining farms

Investing in bitcoin might not be profitable this year because it is very unstable and unpredictable,most of the big players are manipulating the market isong Bitcoin's dominance,however in my humble opinion investing in mining would cost a lot before you can start but it is indeed profitable than just holding a bitcoin,in mining you can also make money while you are asleep thats why i wanted to start mining too beside of what i am doing today which is trading + bounty hunting.

Bitcoin is one of the easiest and most legit way to earn, there are many websites which offer you to earn free bitcoin by visiting a site and keep eye on the small amount of bitcoin. You can earn bitcoin by trading also, just need to be patience and focus on market and must have some basic knowledge about trading.

Mining Bitcoin is a form of investment in Bitcoin, I will like you to understand that first.
Apart from mining, other form of investment in Bitcoin includes: Hodling, Trading, and Lending.
Profitable in any one of them is relative to time, price and skills.
I go with Hodling Bitcoin.

I think I would prefer earning bitcoin through doing bitcoin paying activities if there is... but I can still find bounties out there which are paying in bitcoins but it is hard to tell if they are really telling the truth of what they really are... some of them are just there to attract investors and rob their money so you had to carefully choose those are really LEGIT and true to what they are saying so you will not be wasting your time in doing all those activities for nothing. I prefer this kind of earning because it doesn't involve me in using my personal money to be able to participate in this kind of earning.

Mining is one of the ways to earn income from bitcoin, this way is relatively much in need of a very fast computer system, and the power is very large, along with its care very carefully. Therefore this way requires a large capital, so get a very profitable income.

Bitcoin investments are money storage systems in the form of virtual currency (cryptocurrency), by accessing them outside the conventional financial system. Bitcoin investment is also very profitable, but requires a very long process, depending on how we process it, and there are many things to consider before investing it.

The difference between mining investment and bitcoin investment lies in its processing system, as well as its speed in terms of profit seeking, which is more dominant in mining.

I think it's not profitable in two if you really want to make money you should do blockchain software. If you do not learn software I can suggest you mining

Do not forget that mining takes a lot of money invested into the hardware. Additionally you have to pay much for electricity, and the profit is not as great as it can be if you trade smart. Trading brings more money.

I have to agree with you on that. Some Guru's would want the investor to put in more money on a specific trade but they just want the investor to purchase their coins, so watch out for that.

Ovisly....

I need bitocin and I am invest bitcoin.
And bitcoin maning and eran money.
Because bitcoin opportunity and great profits.
I am invest and need capital of bitcoin.BTC

Both of them are profitable. Still gonna earn wgen mining and investing, but it takes time to have big earnings..

if you have the resources, i mean if you have free electricity then mining is the best option,.. but that usually don't happen so if not then investing and trading is more profitable

The specialized equipment for a mining costs serious money. Maynera make in general work, useful for bitcoin system, – provide its activity and reproduction of new units of cryptocurrency. It is the base on which everything keeps.

What equipment is required for a traditional mining:

powerful modern video cards – not such what are installed in your home computer;
not less powerful power supply units;
ventilation systems and coolings;
processors of the last generation.

There were lots of ICOs which really looked good to me this year for earning Bitcoin and If i am told to guess which ICO will be success, i think it's a very difficult job because can not be predicted exactly, but I have started to work with DEBITUM. DEBITUM has the Solid team, active telegram and an excellent way toward for implementation. I would recommend for giving them a look and checking out their white paper if anyone interested.

Mining Bitcoin is profitable only if your electricity in your country is cheap. Both can make you earn money .mining requires huge amount of money to buy mining hardwares, pay electricity bills and maintenance but in all kinds of investments  mining gives the fastest return of investment. trading or investing is a good idea to earn bitcoin. you just need more knowledge about crypto world and crypto market.

Investing in more simple and won't cost you much time.
As to mining, It is not suitable for everybody. I have to invest lots of money to make profit.

since u ask at 30 January 2018 i think you already have the answer.
Mining u need at least 6 month to get ROI in case nothing bad happen in that 6 month and Diff of mining not increase.
With Investing u can double it easlly in 2-3 month.but u need to choose carefully where you gonna invest,since so many scam recently.

You can buy BTC when it falls and sell it when it raise, and in this way you can earn a lot of money. Mining isn't profitable now. Needs a lot of working, for him takes a lot of time.

By my understanding, investing is starting something you're new at with a simple beginning but expensive in terms of crypto. Mining is when you're able to mine or cash out what you've earned. It's what I think.

Bitcoin mining involves both verifying transactions on the Blockchain and releasing new bitcoins (as the reward for the verification).
Like any other commodity, you can purchase bitcoins from anyone holding some themselves.

I think mining is better than investing when are you able to jump in at a large scale and not build from small to large. For instance, if you build 1 mining rig (6 GPU) and mine until you pay it off before you build the next, it will take longer for you to start earning beyond your initial investment. If you immediately go to a large scale, then all of your rigs start earning beyond your initial investment at the same time. Over the course of starting small and building you will deal with ever increasing difficulties throughout scaling. With immediately going to a large scale all the rigs are going through the same difficulty increases at the same time.

For the past few years mining Bitcoin is only profitable if done at large scales. This means you will need to get expensive mining equipment and hopefully have access to free electricity. Also it’s usually much more cost effective to buy Bitcoins with this money instead of using it to buy mining equipment.

Bitcoin mining is expensive and it really needs a lot of monitoring while investing in bitcoin needs a lot of time and patience, both of them are good ways to make profit but for me i'd rather invest than to mine because the risk is higher at mining.

Bitcoin is a very good and trusted coin for working because it is a top position coin and give profit to our investors.

Both is a good way to earn bitcoin , but I think it's more profitable when you invest still bitcoin has a better future , and still increasing the value of it. And for the mining though it's worth it but the expenses is real , but its worth it though. So for the best option is through investment though , but still depend on you.

If you want to invest bitcoin is the right choice because it has increase value day by day and a profitable coin.

You have to buy a lots techniques for mining and furthermore you have to understand how to do in many ways. Traiding doesn't require such difficulties, only your investments in a correct coin. So I think that trading is more profitable.

For bitcoin earning between bitcoin mining and bitcoin investing I would choose bitcoin investing as the most profitable in earning bitcoin because I can start investing in bitcoin at this very moment when the crypto market is still bleeding out and bitcoins market value is still falling down, with the current market value of bitcoin and all the other crypto currency out there I am very much sure that I can also invest to another crypto currency as well not just in bitcoin, in investing all you gonna do is to wait until bitcoin or the other crypto currency you are investing starts to increase its  market value and if that happens I'm sure you will be having a lot of profits in your lifetime.

Exactly, as a newbie here in crypto I never tried gaining some money but hopefully soon. Earning money here in crypto is a long process but its worth the wait.  Bitcoin is a big advantage for those investor's because its value is changing from time to time. Patience is Virtue and you must wait patiently in order for you to have a great profit.

Bitcoin investing are good to be cause we all know that someday you may have the earnings that ypu wanted to have for also in mining but for me mining you have to be more knowledgable for anything.

Both are profitable but the both of them are have different disadvantage and risky. Mining is expensive, need a space and it really needs a lot of monitoring on it, while investing in bitcoin needs a lot of time, experience and patience at all.

Bitcoin minning and investment is different. if we minning it may take longer to get profit. because minning usually faces many trials. such as increasingly difficult mining rates and declining bitcoine prices

Plus the fact also that mining needs lots of power and is high on maintenance. So I bet holding bitcoin is more profitable.. well of course that depends on many factors including where you are located.

It all deppends on market sittuation. Right now the btc price is so dip, the mining community is on great pain in power expenses and expensive gpu etc. Wile at the same time, if you buy btc now it is a good idea, will gonna moon soon.

mining a single coin is not recommended , make a setup like you can mine any of coin as per market rate ..

when btc dip you can choose to invest in btc ,, when btc pump you can choose to mine it .. in this way you will never lose ..

also make sure electricity cost is cheaper in your area otherwise you can also go for solar option of electricity .

I prefer you both. Both are profitable. Mining need so many capital investments and if you do mining properly you can earn many coins.

Both are profitable but in mining you need a lot of cash to build the infrastructure and hardware, the return will be very long time. If you are investing then you able to decide how much you want to invest and it need skill to read the market.

The choice isnt about profitability, but preference and convenience. You need to decide what suits you more, the Procedural measures of mining with all the required and rooted specifics, or direct investments.

 Bitcoin investment is also very profitable, but requires a very long process, depending on how we process it, and there are many things to consider before investing it.i think small invest crypto cuurency market coin.
So I think that trading is more profitable.

Mining is very expensive compare to investing. In mining , you need to invest on PC's and high internet speed connection in a well ventelated room. It would be better if it is a fully air-conditioned room for them not to over heat. Sometimes and especially if you are just starting, you will get small profit in mining. And the maintenance is high when speaking about electrical bill. Investing is easy because you will not be forced to invest a huge amount. Anything available can always be used to invest in trading or holding depending on your chosen coins.

In mining you need lot of investment and need lot usages of electricity and you have to give some time also.If you study and research well about any coin i think you will definitely earn good money.
Mining and investing in bitcoin are very different activities.both option can make you earn profit and can make you huge loss if not done properly.

I agree that mining is now less attractive compared to investments. Since mining requires more resources and costs, respectively.

There is another way of earning bitcoin by means of joining signature campaign. But be sure that the ICO project you applied for is legit. You can earn income if the project will be successful because they will pay you with your contribution. But remember always that during trading there is always a risk.

That is called Bounty. It's not just signature campaign. You can join also social media, telegram, blog, video creation and a lot more. Marking stuff that an ICO needs. Yeah, you can really earn some bitcoins on this.

it all takes a long time, but all can make a profit.
if told to choose one, I prefer minning only. if there is already an adequate tool.
because I think more certain.

Basically bitcoin mining and investing are both with investments required. What differs both is the way you invest and the way you will earn. In bitcoin mining, you will be needing a mining rig and a high processor computer. You will get bitcoin payment in return of your service given in mining. Meanwhile, in bitcoin investment, you will buy bitcoin then do day to day trading.

Both are clearly different things. When you decide to commit mining you are entrusting yourself to buying some hardware to commit mining to the coins you trust, while bitcoin investment means you are trying to buy Bitcoin to sell and buy. Oh yes Bitcoin investments can also be said much wider because we are free to do it anytime. But in overall then both have a high risk, but if you look at the ease of doing Bitcoin investing much easier. Because when we do mining we must be required to master the skill to be able to design the hardware and do some setting of the program to do the mining. You may need some time to get used to it. The most important thing is that you do the right thing with the expertise and also the comfort, for me it is important because then we can enjoy in mining or investing Bitcoin.

I think both of investment is good. I believe Crypto currency's future.
But It is depend on country utility cost in term of mining.

if talking about mining, would have many who are interested and want to try. but in my opinion, I prefer to invest. because the results I get when I invest more than the mining.

.

The two options are good ways to earn bitcoin.  The only differnce is mining needs focus, time, uninterrupted power supply, suitable and high technology computer and proper understanding how to do perform mining.  If you have those qualities and requirements then, mining is good for you.  On the other hand, if you don't have even one of those requirements but you have money to use for, then, investing is good for your.   Mining and investing plays a great part in bitcoin.  If you can perform the two at the same time, then, you do not have to choose.

I think trading or investing is a good idea to earn bitcoin. you just need more knowledge about crypto world and crypto market.

Both are one of the best strategies in order to earn enormous amount of coins. Before digging in the world of crypto currencies be sure to be backed up with views and research about crypto currencies whether the best or the worst crypto to be able to ensure yourself to the right decision you will be taking. In trading you will exchange coins to different transactions to earn or buy the things you need and want. Whereas in investing you will trust your coins to some projects or campaigns to the moderator and their staff. You can earn in both ways but it's up to your decisions whether you will prosper ir not.

Mining and Investing are different ways of earning Bitcoin but to me investing is more profitable because investing brings more returns over time while the  high cost of mining tends to lower the profit of mining.

Mining will takes you bigger investment of the equipment plus to add the facility of your mining plus maintenance and electricity bill which you need to consider. You need to compute how fast your mining speed and check it if you can be profitable on that. I will prefer to invest as this will only needs fewer time in checking you funds and wait for the right price to get profits with hassle free.

im am a job person i will spend some extra time in this work but i will try to spdo this work full time because it is so easy to work and i will earn some money from this.

A good profit earnings from bitcoin business.the digital currency of exchanging the online market share to cryptocurrency.The good news is that you can get very high returns through the process of bitcoin.we have Just like there’s no easy way to make a substantial amount of US dollars or any other valuable currency for that matter. The good news is that if you’re willing to put in the effort, you can achieve some very nice earnings online. Later on in this post, I’ll expose some of my own earnings so you can see what I mean that its all country good earnings to bitcoin profit from market.

Both are good for bitcoin earning. But I am most like invest.  Invest is the  best way to earn handsome amount of bitcoin. So I think you can  go with investment.

Mining can be a profitable thing if you have the proper equipment and you know how to do it. Investment is good if you invest long term

Yeaht its true that bitcoin was so profitable because of its value price.But not only bitcoin because i believe also what alcoin can do to be more interesting to make us our profit.

Getting Bitcoin is profitable, but the complexity of mining is at a high level, so the payback of mining farms is about a year.

the difference with mining and investing in mining you'll need to use hardwares to mine coins while in nvesting you'll need to buy coins and hold it or trade it both are profitable you can earn more in investing if you're a good trader you can earn also large amount of profit in mining but you'll need time for it to earn big.

I would choose not between investment and mining. And would advise to look narrowly at work in bounty-campaigns. As it is the least risk method of earnings of cryptocurrency.

Bitcoin is one of the easiest and most legit way to earn, there are many websites which offer you to earn free bitcoin by visiting a site and keep eye on the small amount of bitcoin. You can earn bitcoin by trading also, just need to be patience and focus on market and must have some basic knowledge about trading.

I like to do work as well. Getting paid with Bitcoin after completing a job is pretty cool. I would rather get paid in fiat though.

Both of them can give you profit if you play it well. Mining can give you more stable income, the income is proportional to the amount invested in machines.
Investing can give you bigger profit but it's riskier.

Me to, Invest in  Bitcoin more profitable, than mining. you just need to invest for longterm.

I think investing in bitcoin is more profitable than mining. I say this because if you mine you have to build an expensive mining rig for it and pay the electricity bill and maintenance while if you know how to trade its easy for you to take profit everyday.

Both are profitable in both of their way,it really depends upon price of btc.

To create a mining farm, you need very large cash investments. Very high entry threshold. And for investment, the entrance threshold is much lower

You can do investment through bitcoin if you have enough money for investment most especially today that the price is lower. But for those who doesnt have enough you can do and join project to earn money and invest btc.

I think you should invest bitcoin and use it for commercial purposes. It is now more expensive to invest in bitcoins. Some countries have raised mine prices for mine that I think investing in miners will not be as good as investing in bitcoins.

Earning bitcoin nowadays is not that bad. If you can see the prices of coins today it goes up. We are now leaving the fall season of bitcoin i mean we are done facing those very low prices of coins. Hopefully this is going up and up so that to those want to earn bitcoin do not be worried anymore because the price is not that low.

Earning bitcoin make you rich once you can earn and can wait the more big prices of coins it may be goes to x2 your money.

Well in bitcoin mining and bitcoin investing I would choose bitcoin investing because I can start investing in bitcoin in a small amount of capital and with that capital I think I can also invest it to another crypto currency as well, in investing all you gonna do is to wait until bitcoin or the other crypto currency you are investing starts to increase it  market value and if that happens I'm sure you will be having a lot of profits.

first to be consider is from what region you belong,are the electricity charges there are convenience for mining to operate?because if not you will only taking break even from capital to gaining..so consider that fact since mining has really a huge capital that even glod enough for investing in bitcoin,the only need is patience and not panicking if this two is indeed in you,then i suggest bitcoin investinia more profitable

I also want to jump in and tell that investing, especially now is better. Just secure your coins, invest in a good wallet (ledger for example)

Each investment scheme have its own advantage and disadvantage. Bitcoin trading is profitable if you know how to read charts. You also need patient to avoid loses. Mining needs technical knowledge to maintain the hardware and it needs bigger capital to start unlike trading but once you already done with the installation, you can sit sleep and earn while checking your hardware to run smoothly.

It is good idea. Bitcoin is always good. There are many ways to Eran Bitcoin. it's depending on your mind. yon can earn it. you can invest Bitcoin. Bitcoin price is so high. fristly you buy Bitcoin and hold it your wallet. next time , when it's price Increasing, you sell it. I think you earn more money. I think Investment is the best way to earn Bitcoin
