I want to put money in bitcoin mining. Will it be a good decision to take loan for BTC mining? Should I take it from BTCJam or try other sources? Please suggest.

Never borrow money (or btc) on something as unpredictable as mining, or anything to do with cryptos for that matter, its too unpredictable.
Hardly anyone is making any profit mining at the moment with current difficulty, equipment cost, btc price and electricity.

Most likely no one will loan you money for it. With investing and mining never risk more then your willing to lose. A loan is hard to justify essentially you are risking others money.
You can list it but most likely it will not get much support for a loan to buy equipment. And paying interest is just one more expense you don't really need when trying to ROI.

BAD! NO!!  Do not take out a loan for BTC mining. Mining costs, cooling costs, electrical costs, mining difficulty, all are weighed against you getting any ROI to begin with, least of all paying back a Loan with interest. Just don't do it. You'll dig yourself both a Fiat hole and debt hole, that you'll never recover. If you think Bitcoin value will rise up to a $1000, $2000, $10000 or whatever, then just buy the coins, but don't dig yourself into debt Bitcoin mining. |

Depends on what kind of loan you're talking about here. Are you looking at venture capitalists to fund a large operation or just want to borrow a couple thousand bucks from someone so you can buy a miner? If the latter option, then absolutely, positively, DO NOT borrow money. That's pretty much the worst idea possible.

If you don't have the money don't do it. Just wait until you have some money buy a few BTC and check back on the value in 2020.

No. Bitcoin mining is designed to create a loss and making money from it involves convenient purchasing and selling of hardware, not the actual mining side. Irrespective of what others may tell you about mining, even more important is that you should never take a risky investment of an amount you can't afford to lose. Mining is a risky investment. If you need to take a loan out then you can't afford to lose that money. Ergo you should not do this. |

Mining is risky business.There will be difficulty increase which will reduce your earnings.At today's difficulty level you will need quite some investment to make good return which leads to more risk.As more and more miners come on board so does the difficulty jumps high.You could do some what accurate calculations to speculate the outcome and than see to it.

If you are comfortable in taking out a loan to buy lottery tickets, or to go to a gambling casino, then sure taking out a loan to buy mining hardware is a swell idea.
Heavy sarcasm in the above statement. All the "No" answers are the most accurate short answer.

No, No a thousand times no! I can't even begin to tell you the # of mining farm operations I've invested in on BTCJam that are in complete arrears right now. Even fellas that took out loans for the soul purpose of flipping them can't find buyers. Even on E-bay, if you can't find a sucker on e-bay to pay even close to retail for your gear the gradual decline is likely to continue imho.
Do not, I repeat, do not borrow money thinking your going to make it back and then some in a mining operation. Your better off logging into Cryptsy, picking anyone of their 35,000 trading pairs and simply dumping all of your money into it with the hope that you chose correctly (yes, this is sarcasm)
