In my opinion, mining bitcoin through S9 does not give you good profit any more. New miners are coming out soon in market, for now you should make bitcoin investment one of the particular option. Bitcoin is unstoppable as more companies are getting involved in this market.
The best decision is to put all your afforfable funds into bitcoin because we don't know when it rises to $15000-$20000

If I were you then I will straight away buy bitcoin. I have been to UK earlier and know very well that how costly things are there. My electricity bills were more than enough for me to know how costly UK is. That’s might be because of the currency difference though but whatever it is, it is costly in that regards.

Also, buying bitcoin at this rate is also good as we will not see anymore downfall in the time to come. The reason is market correction has already been done and it made the price of bitcoin to fluctuate by 1-2K few days ago. However now onwards bitcoin price will surge only in upward direction so I’m sure that buying would be beneficial here.

Your import VAT charge of 200 USD can turn into 400 USD in no time if you buy bitcoin with it on today’s date. ;-)

Mining with a capital as much as $1,500 will not give as much result as your expectation, there's tons of people with big capital coming to invest and buy some miners, while the people with low budget gets crushed by the increasing of difficulties every diffuclty adjustment. I woul dprefer to invest on btc more,than buying a mining rigs, because simple, it looks more promising with small amount of money.

So after being paid a little bonus, i'm wondering what is best to do....

I'm not sure how low BTC will come down to after this monsterous surge, so i figure i have 2 options:

1 - Buy BTC when i figure is the best time. But when is that time?!?! Is it when it reaches $9,000? $8,000? Is it even likely to go that low again?

2 - Buy another miner and have it hosted somewhere. I already have a home miner so i'd like somewhere cheaper to run another one (expensive and inconvenient in the UK), and i'd like to skip the $200/250 import VAT duty. But then i have to wait 2 months or so for an S9. Or maybe worth waiting until the new Avalon 8 series comes out early next year?


With this amazing surge in price, i'm tempted to just buy more BTC, but then i am concerned the price might correct itself and lose out.

Thoughts everyone? What would you do with $1500?  Huh

If you already own a miner and making profit over it my suggest is to purchase a new one!

Maybe just buy a bitcoin , but mine is a good source too , worth it I think but , the bills of the power the electric bill I guess. And somehow Its better to just buy coin , the price of bitcoin now is almost $11k , so probably many people buying and investing. Yes we all know that it is an unstable or a decentrelized coin , but you can hold it. And maybe after you hold it and when that time is come , then buy a miner. And invest again through bitcoin , you can have an good profit. And definitely it may lose out or decrease the value of it , we don't know what will the price next day or in the future , but remember that right know as in right know , the bitcoin is still rising up.

Buying bitcoin is always better than mining one because it will take you long time to mine bitcoin equivalent to your initial investment as mining bitcoin is not as profitable as it was used to be.

Buying new miner would be good probably that would be a good decisions if it's an S9 one. I know there is hype of bitcoin price this time around but we may not know how long this hype might last, and moreover your mind might change too if you buy then dump would happen at the very short span you buy it. Somehow if you buy another miner and the crypto you mine is pumping it might be a good earning for you. Hope that you would take my suggestion if ever you may find it good and helpful.

It is more advisable to buy bitcoin than buying a miner, since a lot of people would've bought miners, before they even invested, the problem you will have with miners, will be the cost of maintenace, just by the power source or electricity, you might pay even higher price, though you have mined bitcoin. It is much better to buy bitcoin, hodl or trade it for the time being, and wait till it reaches its highest value.

As you indicated, I would also not invest in Bitcoin now at this high price level. I would also rather wait for the correction. Actually we are in a pretty similar situation, I want to buy a miner too, but decided now to wait until the new series comes out. As the wait is long anyway, I guess it wont matter much. And I also wait for the Bitcoin correction, having some money sitting in my exchange account and waiting for a serious correction for almost two months now. I missed the whole surge with that money... As you asked how low can it go: I have no idea, its really unpredictable, but I hope for $7500 or $8000 as an entry when the correction sets in.

Buy BTC while it's still cheap. Don't worry if you buy at $8k or $11k, it will make little difference in the long term. This is unlike any phenomenon the world has seen before and we humans are unable to make sense of it yet, but BTC is only going up. Remember this when the price hits $1M in just a few years. That if the USD is even worth anything by then. You're welcome.

Buy btc rather than spending in any, btc will probably reach the price high than today. You can earn big by buying and investing in btc. Btc has the price to become huge for the future be wise and confident to earn.

1500$ isn't a big amount so i would suggest you to buy Bitcoin for trading, 1500$ isn't enough for miner.

Thanks guys

I think i will invest in buying BTC right now, and then when new mining equipment comes out early next year, hopefully i will have made a little profit on my btc investment so i can use that to buy another miner!

Although i now think i have missed my chance to buy in a dip - the lowest i saw on coinbase was $9,500, but with it now being over $11,500, i dont think it will drop that low again!

maybe i just have to bite the bullet and buy at $11,500?

Made you look!

Thoughts everyone? What would you do with $1500?  Huh

Just a general advice if I may: take your time. Don't FOMO. Plan ahead and don't rush anything. You got your bonus and you're now eager to invest it to don't miss anything. Keep in mind that markets move and even if there is a trend, there are also corrections if a movement is too strong/fast.

I personally would invest $1500 in those projects I researched and that I'm following. Take your time and don't rush Wink
While you are right at the same time bitcoin is moving so fast that decisions need to be taken fast, that does not mean that you rush it, but that you need to invest a good amount of time as soon as possible and try to understand the most about bitcoin as fast as you can before the price makes another 2000 dollars pump, since every day we are not invested on bitcoin is a day of profits we lose and that we are never going to get back.

Mining nowadays is very expensive and its almost worthless, especially if you re looking to mine Bitcoin, unless you have very cheap electricity. My suggestion is buying BTC and ETH and some other valuable coins and tokens with this amount, despite its considered small.

Not only that bitcoin is moving so fast that recovering the amount of bitcoin you invest in a miner may take a lot of time and may be even impossible to do it if bitcoin skyrockets, the time to mine for the average person with those miners was when bitcoin price was more or less stable now that bitcoin is skyrocketing there is no doubt which of the two is the most profitable option and that is to buy bitcoin directly.

I think you'd better use your 1.500$ to buy BTC at the moment but buy miner I think it's a really bad idea for now Smiley). The mining difficulty of Bitcoin is increasing day by day so mining is not worth if you only invest 1.500$, you need to have thousands dollars if you want to earn good profit everyday from mining. So buy BTC and just hold or use it to trade is a better idea Cheesy
