If your setup for BTG was technically hashing and all, you should be able to mine other Equihash coins w/ that software (Zcash, etc.). Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but you should just need to update config info for new pool and you're good to go.

Answering you main question
Yeah mining cryptocurrency is still a good idea , Its was always a good idea you just need to hold till price is good because mining and selling is kinda stupid considering all the profit you might lose but yeah people need to pay their bills , so better hold 50percent of ur minings anyways I am currently mining zcoin since had a nad experience with btg as pool luck and other factors gave me less than i would have made otherwise , and price still decreasing but if the price takes off like bitxoin cash then that would have been hella profitable

buy the coins. Speculation historically made a lot more than mining. I would now say that mining only makes money when speculation makes alot more

Still a lot of Ethash algo that is profitable than ETH, so for now ETH to POS is rather fuss, no need to worry about, oh btw, I don't mine ETH for a couple of weeks now.

GPU mining is not profitable for btc. You will get more btc by mining other altcoins and then trading those for btc.
Mining crypto is still a good idea. It depends also on what kind of mining equipment you have or can afford.

He is tallking about bitcoingold (BTG) which is still interesting to mine on GPU (especialy on nvidia GPUs) and not about Bitcoin (BTC) that it is no longer possible to mine otherwise than with specific ASICS

Mining crypto is surely profitable. Be it altcoin or bitcoin mining itself. All you need to do is research, research, research. There is a huge amount of online resources that can guide you every step of the way. It is up to you to control your financial future. Invest in crypto now while you can.

It is wrong to state unequivocally as you do. I'm sure you don't do mining so you make such a conclusion. In different countries the price of electricity also may vary significantly. Mining in China can be profitable and in Europe can be profitable. So many factors influence the profitability of mining and therefore in each case it is necessary to individually calculate the profitability.

As long as it's still profitable then it is worthwhile mining.

Another option if you want to get paid in BTC would be NiceHash.

Mining cryptocurrency in this state is really hard this is just because the reward is getting small due to the increasing number of miners. So the more the miners the smaller and hard to get bitcoin. Investment is the best to cryptocurrency due to its volatility and many are now getting interested in crypto.

I seem to partially agree with you but am wondering how someone who may not have the resources needed for investment could still participate in the run through mining.
