At least from what I've seen, you need thousands of dollars in capital to even hope to profit from mining within a few months.

I just invested my first complete bitcoin in Hashkings lending. Now i can gain 1.9% weekly and hopefully the value keeps rising. Can't beat that if you want to be lazy.

Please remember that day-trading is negative-sum; that is, excluding the exchange, on average people lose.
If bitcoins are considered a currency, I'm not sure this is true, as the system isn't a closed one. Some people will daytrade while others will exchange only in one direction (compared to trading dividendless shares, where the only thing you can do after buying a share is sell it back). Everyone may win, and everyone may lose (except the exchanges, which always win).

The speculators can only win if the one-direction traders lose.

The speculators can only win if the one-direction traders lose. Why? Let's assume I have € and I want to buy something in $ because it is cheaper (quite a common scenario, when hardware vendors tend to sell something at $99.99 in the US and 99.99€ in Europe, when 1€ = $1.3), even when I include the currency exchange fees. In the end, I may be very happy and have made a good deal by having exchanged my € for $, while the person doing the reverse transaction may be happy because he made a good deal in selling his $ for € at a better rate than in bought the $ initially. This is a win-win, both for me and for the speculator. Why is that so? Because the hardware vendor is not included in the loop, he does not explicitely use an exchange. He will use the $ to pay his employees in the US, and the € to pay his employees in Europe. He may convert some $ to € or some € to $, but that would be small fraction of what he earns.

Okay, so I guess I failed to include the relative utility of different currencies to different people. In that case, trading may not be negative sum. So effectively, one is trading currency at a premium because one currency is worth more to him than others. In that case, you're right: trading is not necessarily negative-sum.

Well and that will solve itself soon enough as EUR will be at parity with USD or even below (already 1€ = $1.2 seems more accurate)
