If you mean getting back into mining -- may be worth it, but will depend on your electricity price and require a lot of commitment. If mean getting back into crypto in general -- it's always worthwhile to get back into crypto. Just watch out for scammy ICOs, useless alts and other questionable investments. |

there is a sense in returning back, but the situation will be absolutely different compared to 2011. every day there are changes, so you should always follow the news. |

I would say yes it is a good time to get back into crypto, not just bitcoin but there are a lot of other projects out there now in comparison to 2011. I hope you didn't lose too many coins as I would imagine mining back then you would have gained a handful at least.

It is always good time to get back into crypto. It's like asking, if now it is a good time to start using emails... Weird question. Of course it is, technology is moving forward.

Now! Get back in track...what happened in the past should have served as learning so as not to repeat tje same mistake. Don’t be so easily discouraged. Mistakes, negligence, wrong decisions...these are all part of learning and becoming better. No need to be skeptical about getting back into crypto.. The opportunity to earn today may actually be better than 6 years ago... |

Mining is not too profitable anymore, but now there are more coins to mine, I am sure one of those coins can make a good profit, now crypto currencies is really booming, it is a good time to get back and start to earn some profit

Buying coins is still worth it, but mining, you need to mine other altcoins since bitcoin mining requires a lot of power and expensive hardware to get profit (or even breakeven) from it. After that you can sell your altcoins for btc then hold them until you get some nice hefty profit. It's never too late and it's always worth it.

Is it still worthwhile getting back into crypto?
Depends on your financial situation. If you can afford an investment that you can afford to lose, wont drive you crazy looking at the price volatility, and ok with not seeing an actual return on investment for a couple of years, then my suggestion is always yes. yyIMO, the price will keep going up long term, short term after you buy back in you might be in the red and lose some money, but eventually it will go up. There is still so much room for growth, and so much opportunity. Still early in the game, and best thing to do is put some money down you can afford to lose and feel invested in the community. Best of luck in whatever you decide to do. Also, do you still have the wallet.dat file for your old wallet? If so, ever think of a brute force app or a password cracking service? They take a % of the total funds if/when its recovered, but better some money then no money? |

Agreed its always a good time to get back into crypto on longs you a Hodl  Mining is always tricky especially if you 're not willing to reinvest in hashing and have plans for scaling up. |

Honestly it will be hard to predict bitcoin but if you are not weak hand holding your bitcoin for a long time you must ready what will happen sometimes in bitcoin because bitcoin is unpredictable if you know how to hold your bitcoin and are strong to hold them even you are seeing the price of bitcoin was gradually decreases you should still need to hold your bitcoin so that you can't be lose of profit instead you can make a profit because bitcoin will be more popular the price of bitcoin will continue to increase and more business online will accept bitcoin..
If you can compare the price of bitcoin before and now its totally different.. and you can realize that bitcoin can be potentially increase its value in the future..

OP, welcome back! Best time to enter crypto is NOW.
Best time to enter crypto was 6 years ago Now mining (btc, dont know about other coins) wont be so efficient as it was years ago, but trading is always relevant and always will be. Imo, any time is good to start trading. |

If it's the best, we unfortunately only know later, but it's good in any case.
Now we can say that back in 2011 the prices werer very low and we should have invested, but it's also possible that we remember the year 2017 with btc prices lower than 5000$.
That's why it's always advisable to get into cryptocurrency!

Of course it is still worthwhile, because crypto is the future. If you wont enter now, you will regret. I have no doubt that blockchain will change the world and for me important is not only getting profit, but being part of progress. |
