100 000$ to invest

[Karlitosss]

Hi guys,

Let's say you have 100 000$ CAD to invest in cryptocurrency, would you invest in mining operations or buying coins?

[chocopapaya]

This would totally depend on your approach to your investments.

with that amount of money, you can easily make a high risk/high reward move during the next bull run to make insane profits.
If you put all of that in a high profile, high hype ico during the middle of huge market surge, you can easily turn that 100,000 into 300,000 in a couple months.
Of course, that is the risky method.

If you plan on a more long term approach, then I recommend Mining.
but it isn't as simple as that.
I'm assuming you are from canada?
I have no idea what the cost of utilities are where you live, but there are many in the western developed parts of the world that are starting to see the cost of running a mining rig doesn't really pay off.
If you have the know how and connections, you could consider investing in a mining farm.

You can also consider finding a coin that utilizes masternodes, I hear a lot of good returns from masternode operators.

Mining is not easy as you said, In fact, you need to build at least big mining rig and be able to compete with another miner. Mining is about the batter of hashpower right now. Remember it's providing regular profit with long-term condition. This time it's too late to join in the mining competition.

I have heard that mining coins is the best and sure way of getting money. The only problem that I saw with it is the amount you put on investing with the equipments or devices to use. And it also uses too much power or electricity consumption. Better ask the miners for this. On the other hand buying coins are risky as well. You could lose your money even during a failure of transferring the coins. I know somebody who lost around 10000 dollar for a failed trading. Looking at the brighter side, I think I would participate in mining because it really is a sure money as long as you got the equipment up and running without problem.

I have the knowledge to build mining rigs,

I currently have one 12 x GPUs miner and one 8 x GPUs miner.

I also have an Hybrid (watercooled/air cooled) miner which is used as my main computer for gaming and mining.

I have the knowledge to configure everything so it can be 100% efficient with the highest hash rate.

But I want to go bigger.

By the way electricity here is 0.07c per kw/h so relatively cheap

Main rig

The 12 x GPUs miner (mix of AMD and Nvidia) for equihash and Ethash)

I have the opportunity to have an investors so we can build up rigs for mining, probably under 200 000$. I don't have the amount of cash, just the knowledge for eveything.

Cryptocurrency is my passion since 4 months and always like PC building since 1996 when I was 12.

I mine with my 13 000$ rigs and invested around 5000$ in coins such as BTC (only 0.2) Siacoin, ETH.

But my real question is what should we do with this money since it's not mine.

[chipmeow]

Mining or investments are also good.
Both need time to recover your money

But I love mining somehow

[MISS_nSTASSY]

In last summer and spring mining was extra profitable but also mining machines were expensive. Now the situation changed and mining get you less profit, and it cost cheap also now.
But no matter how much mining costs, I prefer to buy coins with a good project in the beginning of their path. You can sell coins immediately, but with rigs - it will be difficult(or very cheap) to sell them fast.
So diversify your portfolio and buy some coins for at least 1 year of holding

[zakariajaki]

opinion from me, if available 100k $ is it used for minning or coin sale? all depends on what coins should be in minning? what's the developer team? expensive, difficult not to be a reason, when a team of professionals and you know and deepen the knowledge of minning in the world of crypto. while if you buy a coin orientation aimed at the business, of course with the target of a predetermined period of time, passion and success

[Karlitosss]

I will be a long time holder, don't even know yet how to sell on exchange.

Right now I'm mining ETH, Monero, RavenCoin and ZClassic. And I still plan to mine Equihash, Ethash and Cryptonight V7, X16R too if possible but I prefer mining ETH and Monero if I build more rigs.

Right mining is better option if your living in region that has lower electricity rate,because if not you will only break even,and may lose in investing.

I guess its better to invest in top coins since you have big amount of capital,this c be double if your lucky in just a year

[mikyadel]

with that amount of capital . it would Be Better if you Build a strong portfolio of coins rather than mining rig.
pros:
-you won't have to worry about monthly electricity Bills
-you won't have to worry about any sort of malfunction with the cards or its noise
-Huge potential if you choose solid projects can go Between 2-10x

cons:
-it's a Bit risky if market crashes like what happened last couple of months and you'll have to wait until market recovery to gain profits

so you choose what's more convenient to you.

[Karlitosss]

Electricity here is like 0.055$ USD (0.07 $ CAD)

Should that be a good opetion to mine?

[shaadsufi]

With this amount of money you can do both if better to do both to be on the safe side and play risk free because trading can give loss sometimes so its better to invest some part of your investment in mining also so you get something which pays you passively.

Canada is a nice place and has a cold weather. Calculate your consumption, https://www.rapidtables.com/calc/electric/electricity-calculator.html

If the bill there isn't so expensive then $100,000 CAD is a good amount to invest in mining altcoins.

Hi guys,

Another spam topic question eh.. I'll bite.

Too late to buy any new mining rigs and get into mining now. The only way you would truly profit from mining is if the value of the coins increases in value. If that's the case then you would be better off actually buying the coin and waiting for it to increase.

[marydale]

That's a really big money to invest.
If you have the knowledge and knack for investing in cryptos then you should go for it, do trading instead for long term hodl. Many individuals such as me doesn't really have much so we cannot go into trading, and so we only participate in bounty campaigns. News has it that trading can give a lot of profits.

Or you can combine long term hodling and trading. This also works great for some people I know.

On the other hand, mining could be a great alternative. However, it is no simple task but you can always pull together capable hands.
And you can also consider investing in mining farms.

Its never to late to join a mining competition mate, you just need to chose the right coin to mine. And even if you chose mainstream coin like bitcoin and ethereum as long you getting profit from it, where you live is also one thing to consider to build your own mining rig, some state have cheaper electicity bill and cooler weather.

[Verde_Mantis]

Hi guys,

Let's say you have 100 000$ CAD to invest in cryptocurrency, would you invest in mining operations or buying coins?

Probably I would invest 50% of that money in the current market and I would keep the remaining 50% to buy the dips.

[jlqueen]

It's investment.
You invest for their project by buying their tokens and the value of tokens would be proportional to profit of the project.
Most of the ICO's are profitable as their price would increase on reaching the market.
But some of them are total scams which would lead your investment to nothing.
So, study about the project before investing.

Every person's desire is different, moreover if you talk about money.

Investment and mining is the place to get bitcoin. Both ways you can do if you are familiar with bitcoin. You can search for information in advance to use the money you have. Personally, I am more interested in choosing an investment. The first reason for investing in bitcoin is very easy, make a wallet on local exchange and buy some bitcoin, save a few years and I will feel the result.

As for mining I have to look for some tools to support bitcoin mining, and now in my country looking for tools that support for bitcoin mining is very difficult. And I think mining bitcoin will be there eventually, now bitcoin is already in the mining of almost 17 milionth which means only about 4 milionth is left. You are free to choose it, most importantly you have a good reason for being chosen. I know your country is perfect for bitcoin mining, and you need to consider it.
