Do you think is more profitable mining or trading? Advantages and advantages of anything.
Trading. For a start, you dont need to have huge technical capabilities or starting capital. Hell, even if you just became typical hodler, next couple of year will be profitable for you. There are many relatively low risk/high reward options then. Including lending bitcoin to others on interest or getting educated in technical analysis and potentially increase you share without further fiat investment. There is very little reason for an individual just starting out to focus on mining in 2017.

i do both i have the best of both worlds. My rig is 5 x gtx 1070 and hardware cost about 2.5k gbp(3200 usd). but i enjoy it more than trading, the rig was interest free as well for a year. electricity about 60 usd a month.
i invested about 800 dollars of cash as well out of this I bought a DASH mining contract for 475 dollars from Genesis, get about 2-3 usd a day from it, for 2 years.(so say 1.4k usd over 2 years hopefully) . i would have been better off holding it as btc but it was to stop temptation as it was all new to me.
My rig generates about 12-22 usd depending on coin, a day. i convert to btc or hold depending on how i feel.(if continues will pay for rig in 6 months). some coins are great return daily but a lot will mine them and if not much demand holding might lose money so sell to btc.
So just from mining i get 14-24 dollars a day which is not bad for me.
My trading is hit and miss i stick to the mainstream stuff as been burnt a few times in past, and there are no get rich quick ways.
Since i started in march i have about 1200 usd invested , i have withdrawn about 350 usd for costs to mine and convert to FIAT, still a big loss so far but give it another 6 months.

I'm learning a lot from this site, though I haven't posted for a while. I just kept on reading on some tips on what to do. I think I will try trading but I have to learn and read a lot about which coin I would put my money on too.

Mining is more complex because it requires more expertise and a higher investment. While trading also requires expertise (to a certain extend) but you can start with any budget.

There's the possibility of loosing everything you invest with trading but returns are also much higher. Mining has slow returns and require a good amount of investment at the start.

If your GPU low quality then mining is a long Process I suggest you to trading it's a way that's give you lots of profit and if you have a powerful GPU then start mining but trading is the best already I make some money from trading and i always suggest that do trading and earn money.

Out of the mining and trading I will prefer to use trading for the earnings purpose . If you have the cheap or free electricity then I will suggest you to made the mining as the income source in your life but probably in the most of the countries the electricity in not cheap , so most of the people are using trading job for income . Here trading needed to get study in better way and also need experience of one to two month that how the system of the trading ( day trading , Bitcoin only trading , altcoin trading ) is working and how to choose the better coin for the investment . All will depend upon your experience in this field . If you started the trading then I will suggest you that never get panic of down in the price and don't sell until you get profit .

They are both risky businesses however I think trading so long as you know what you are doing could be better.
Just do your own research before throwing your money around.

For me trading is more profitable because I haven't really tried mining. In trading you can monitor everyday and even profit everyday if that's what you prefer but just make sure the coins you are putting your money on are active coins, mining they say is good too but electricity cost would be a major problem if so.
Yes I agree with you If you want to invest more But if you want a little just need to be a miner only.

Trading is extremely risky, especially for newbies. Most of the altcoins (such as Ethereum, Nemcoin, Litecoin, and Ripple) are at all time highs, and there is a strong chance of a correction occurring. So if you trade in altcoins, there is a very strong chance of incurring losses.

one thing to remember trading is a zero sum game for every dollar you make someone has lost a dollar. traders think they have skills but a lot is just luck.. Holding seems a good bet in these times, and mining allows you to do that, you also add more to the whole industry than making a few bucks.
i enjoy mining much more than trading. my roi will be a year but a year of learning, understanding the supply and demand waves, and a chance to feel part of something, even if i don't become millionaire.

If you trading you should be mining too to support your coin. You can mine a coin then trade it. Best idea is mine for profit then to make even more pair that currency you recently minined with another that you were planning to buy anyway and maybe get a good osirrd trade better then if you paid with Bitcoin. It's up to you to do the research as to when it's better to mine or simply buy.

Around 2014 I mined a lot with big computers and it was very profitable. Just did around 0,25 btc every 3 days, became shit after a few months and was out of ideas. Sold all the hardware and went trading. Bought a lot in the dip and just keeping it. In my opinion mining is good to learn how a coin works and if you belief in it buy it for the long term! Someone here with good tips to invest for the long term? What tools you use to do your research? I have some tools and ideas but want to scale it up a little bit and betting on more horses! ![Shocked](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/shocked.gif)

mining is great when the price is high you can hedge your bets if unsure, mine the coins instead of investing.

It all depends, how much money you got and how would you more like to earn money. By mining you earn your money passively, i mean you do not have to do anything while your computer is mining and make you money. But that solution is really hard and does not pay off, unless you invest a lot of money. But on the other hand there is trading, which is by my opinion better. You can start with less and move forward from there. At the end its your choice.

I think mining certain altcoins can certainly be profitable but it requires quite an investment and alot of knowledge to get started and be profitable. Trading on the other side also requires investment and knowledge but it's a lot more accessible and easy if you get used to it.

If you have a budget to build your own rig to mine altcoin i think you should choose mining but if you don't have a large capital to buy mining rig but you have a small amount of money i think choose trading but first you need to learn it first so that you can make a profit once you know what are the best to hold and not..
