Mining is just a different way to buy bitcoins. If you want "clean" bitcoins then mining can make sense. Otherwise, unless you have free electricity you are probably better off just buying them if your goal is profit. However, there are real benefits to mining, including learning more about how bitcoin works.
Good Luck!

It is not easy to achieve break-even in mining now. As others said, you should do your research and make ROI calculations.
Also, the bitcoin price doesn't really matter. What you should really compare is:
1) How many bitcoin you can mine by buying the miners or mining contract after fees, and
2) How many bitcoin you can buy directly with the money

ROI will always, I think, be achieved although it may take around a year for gains and they may be tiny by then. Better off investing in btc directly and hodling for the future. |

Don't mine coins unless your electricity is dirt cheap ($0.06 per KWH or less). Yes bitcoin will hit $1,000 again for sure. Don't mine litecoins "for profit" --You'll get burnt fast. Most profit is honestly buying some bitcoins now, keep the safe and wait. |

Otherwise you might end up paying a lot and it might not be profitable for you at all. |

i have the same approach... mine for a few altcoin.... trade it gain half or a few bitcoin... start to trade bitcoin.... but you can do it if you already have trading experience or you risk to burn your coin so fast |

The problem is mining equipment for each coin is specialized these days (unless you are using GPUs). |

Mine bitcoins as a hobby, or to support the bitcoin network. Don't go hardcore into mining with the thought of profit in mind... I would just buy bitcoin, that's the fastest way. Then gamble it away.  If you want to use an exchange, I personally use ANXBTC, or localbitcoins. |

Mining for profit is no longer the case for small miners. Big companies have a whole warehouse or datacenter of ASICs with cheap electricity and good cooling equipment. Mining at home is not recommended since it is a fire hazard and will produce lots of heat. Unless you live in a colder region with cheap electricity, you shouldn't mine. If you want to buy ASICs, consider the risk. ASIC shipment takes some time. Once a huge quantity of ASICs get shipped, the difficulty would most likely increase much more than previous difficulty increase. Some ASIC companies delay the shipment time, by the time you recieve your equipment, ROI would be very difficult.

If you have some money to invest sure go with bitcoin mining you can buy an s4 coupon on bitmaintech for less than 50bucks send your miner to Umisoo and you will profit after 50 days but for that you need around 900bucks, if you don't have money to invest and have a decent GPU go with litecoin.

Bitcoin difficulty did rise very fast in the past, but it is rising fairly slowly in the recent 2 months. Interestingly, difficulty is now estimated to drop slightly in the next change according to https://bitcoinwisdom.com/bitcoin/difficulty |
