Since I don't see a lot discussion I wanted to ask you guys opinion. I'm mining using S7's. I hope to break even. If i do it's because of the rise of BTC and so I'm better off buying BTC and wait for it to raise.

The price of the S9 looks quite high if you also count for the additional shipments fee, PSU, tax...the only upside is that you have the most power efficient miner so if you wait long enough you can break even and  maybe make some profit. But then again, wouldn't you be better off to buy BTC.

Curious to what you guys think about the S9.
