I probably isn't worth trying to mine BTC now - actually buying Bitcoin is likely to offer a lot better return on investment  :)

Yup its to late to get into any crypto coin.

If you still want to get into crypto even with it all dying and being dead end, go with scrypt hardware, you'll get better chances for mining for your money.

It's not too late honestly just save up and buy when low and sell when high.

Buy the bitcoins and hold them a few years thats the only usefull tip I can give. I still have 800gh mining power arriving in feb. Even that won't bring a gold mine so anyone that wants to get into the mining game now don't. Unless its a new technology and you get it quick. But there is not atm.

the gold market still lives on, hundreds of years after people gave up walking with pickaxes to get their gold. what the done instead was to work in retail or other jobs to receive gold as payment. same with bitcoin. find a job that pays in bitcoin or get current employer to pay you in bitcoin or simply buy bitcoin, much like you would buy gold at a pawn shop or goldsmith for investment.

why oh why do people think mining is the only way to get bitcoin... oh wait, the official bitcoin video is out of date again

It isn't too late if all you want is to earn money. You can simply sell your hardware. I'm sure people want it. If you want to support the BitCoin Network, mine. If you want to earn money, buy low sell high.

If you believe in the long term growth and potential of BTC, then it definitely is not too late to get involved.  You may be a little too late to the game to start mining (i don't know anything about mining) so I could be wrong about that. 

There is definitely still a long ways to go for bitcoin to reach its full potential.  I truly think that people will look back on today, and say "Man I wish I would have bought every coin that i could afford at $825"

In all honesty, I'd probably use those to mine alt coins if at all possible. And if not, I'd sell them while it's still possible to do so.

Though people give it a bad rep, cloud mining at least enables you to resell your GH/s on the market before it's deemed too useless. It's easier to do than to sell outdated hardware mining equipment, in my opinion.

only YOU can answer the question if it's too late or if you can make money.  no one else knows your financial situation and how much you can invest or exactly how you will go about investing it.

you could get some better answers if you provided some more details though.

Everyone should own at least 1 bitcoin. There are only 12 million in existence and there are 7 billion people in the world. If you have 1 bitcoin you would be in the top 0.1 percent of bitcoin wealthy people in the world. All it costs it 800 dollars now. If you really believe bitcoin has any future potential, act immediately.

FTC is going to sink further unless there is some serious news. The buy wall at 36 will break soon enough.

What makes you think that they are adding FTC/USD anytime soon? Having said this, it may be necessary as it is way too crowded in FTC/BTC.

Its just a hunch. They used a few dirty tactics to accuire alot of FTC . Another one was that they were delisting FTC (price dropped like 60%/BTC then later that day they recanted with an oops it was a mistake. Shorty after FTC rose 500% to like $1.20 a coin.

They have tons of FTC they will not just let it die. Watch remember this convo and see what happens shortly

its never too late until its over, but that may or may not happen. back when i first herd of it i thought what and how. i mined for a little and felt it wasnt worth my time/effort because the pc would have to stay on over night and i played games after work (cant mine and play games at the same time). long story short i didnt understand it at the time and i donated my coins and felt like it wouldnt do much, after i heard they were still around mid 2013 i was like damn thats cool. i mine alts and convert to to btc and after a while i only have .25 and im trying to work my way to to a decent miner (a guy wants .5 for a chili 36gh/s iirc) so i can support the network/idea/and community.

Buying coin using your risk capital, especially during a crash is so far the best the method to make quick money in 1-2 years

However, if you invest in mining operation, you will support the infrastructure of this distributed monetary system, strengthen the bitcoin network, especially if you run p2pool

Forget about mining it. Concentrate of creating Bitcoin related services. That is where the real wealth is waiting to be scooped up. If you don't create something, someone else will.

This.

We're still barely at the dawn of the Bitcoin revolution. You are a VERY early adopter if you get in now.

And with "get in" I don't mean mining. I mean to simply just buy bitcoins and create innovative services or products based on or around Bitcoin. There's SHIT LOADS of opportunities waiting. Get in now, or in 5 years regret that you didn't while others (smarter people) did.

Yeah they did the same with TRC as well, only they left that one real late.

I do think that it will happen but I don't think that they are manipulating things before it does happen. They make enough as it is lol.

i like the idea of mining it gives me the nostalgia of caveman minging gold fore his wife in the dark ages i do support miniing becos it authtenicates all the transactions... and i am a part of a pool i would never mine on my own thats impossible

wot should i do with me moni then buy bitcoin or get decent hardware say 60gh/s and wait it out until the coin rises in value?

there r so many options i am confused wot to do

I found their behaviour on this suspicious and questionable too. FTC has been pretty stagnant but I'm sure it'll rise sometime this year.

I agree with this. There's going to be so many gaps for services and businesses opening up with the rising popularity of Bitcoin that it's going to be a gold mine for entrepreneurs (if it isn't already).

No, but yes for mining. Advise you to buy BTC instead..

Invest in Bitcoin by A) Buying some bitcoin, B) If you have the funds buy a mining machine and C) Promote bitcoins use with merchants, friends and family which will increase your return of A and B.

Mining is still profitable but the margins are getting tight and it's expensive to get in. However, as BTC increases relevant to USD, you'll make your return.

If you've got Fiat money, hold a good portion of it as spending money in BTC (Find people who sell what you want in BTC. They usually offer it at a discount to USD price), invest some in actual investments like a business or a Bitcoin business and save the rest to pay bills that will only accept fiat currency.

BTC is not an investment. It is a currency. It's only an investment if you are going to convert it back to USD currency as the USD weakens. Rarely will you hear someone say 'I'm going to invest in Euros etc...'. They'll usually say 'I'm going to hedge against X with Euros'.

If you think bitcoin will become a global currency to replace or rival fiat than I would suggest to get your feet wet. We would still be in the innovation phase. I think we're still in the innovation phase, and not because I think that Bitcoin is going to take over as the global currency. Look at what's happening around you bitcoin-wise. We've seen new technology that is trying to keep pace with bitcoin, new miners, new atms, countries recognizing btc.

There's more importance to bitcoin than just getting rich (Well I guess that's a bonus for the very very early adopters). Just because BTC is still in the innovation phase does not mean that the price is going to skyrocket as it progresses into larger adoption. Logically, the price will rise as demand rises, but don't be a fool and equate people adopting the currency into dramatic price gains.

You're probably better off investing in bitcoin directly as it has the potential to double by year's end - and certainly if you simply hold it long-term.

It is very different to get btc mining profitable at this stage, but if you really want to mine, you can build GPU rigs for scrypt coin mining.

Most will amount to nothing and are normal over inflated at the start because of hype, better to mine the new alt coins and sell wen they get a market.

Some don't understand the affect of difficulty on profitabilty.
Some mine for fun and to support the bitcoin network.

I probably isn't worth trying to mine BTC now - actually buying Bitcoin is likely to offer a lot better return on investment  :)

Some just want to earn money, some want the BitCoin Currency to be accepted as a currency.

It is never too late to get involved :).   It is too late to get rich off of a small investment (most likely), but using it as a currency and hopefully gaining some appreciation in the meantime is still obviously feasible...

It is absolutely not too late to get involved in the most revolutionary innovation our generation has seen. Bitcoin is so much more than a currency.

wel i hath 60k to spend from my grandad dying recently the house was sold and now i dont no wot to do with it fortunately he died sooner rather than later ive never had that much moni before in me life its a god sends


i like the idea of mining it gives me the nostalgia of caveman minging gold fore his wife in the dark ages i do support miniing becos it authtenicates all the transactions... and i am a part of a pool i would never mine on my own thats impossible

wot should i do with me moni then buy bitcoin or get decent hardware say 60gh/s and wait it out until the coin rises in value?

there r so many options i am confused wot to do

Well, I'm assuming you're trolling, as nobody could possibly exhibit that level of illiteracy without trying extremely hard. Also, the apparent attitude on life is so far the wrong side of wrong that it couldn't be anything but moderate to severe mental retardation.

So we'll just file you under C for Cretin and move on ;)

The bitcoin price "crashed" because of the dying mtgox, and people panic-sold their bitcoin with no idea what "transaction malleability" really is. :)

I wouldn't say it's too late. But, like everyone else said, it's always a gamble. I wouldn't buy mining hardware though. cex.io is a good place to start, if you want some tasty realtime trade or cloud mining. Just be careful!

Most likely too late if you're wanting to mine BTC directly, but now's a great time to take advantage of the low coin prices

If I was new to the game right now...I think I would sit on the sidelines for maybe able a week and see what happens with prices.   If there are any flash crashes, then I would try and buy a little, just to get my feet wet.   When it is your first purchase, it is really tough to pull the trigger when prices are declining dramatically, but it is what you have to try to do...
