Hiya,
So I am looking to invest for the first time in bitcoin, in PBMining. I was considering buying a bitcoin miner, but I saw that with this there are no power costs and it is pretty much the same price as buying a physical miner. Any thoughts?
I think it's not a good idea. It looks just more one mining site where investors don't make profit, just lose money. Many people invest for the first time with Bitcoins in Cloud Minings, but it's not a good deal. If you want to skip the fail part of the bitcoin newbies, just don't do it and you will save your money for something that really matters.
Caution with online investiments, you need to search a lot for informations about it before invest.
