Ok guys, so as far as I can see, cloud mining is not a real option.
I guess that leads us to these two:
1) Buy some BTC, wait for the price to rise and sell.
2) Buy some equipment for home mining as long with some cloud mining.

What kind of equipment do you recommend? I am looking into the SP20.
About the cloud mining thing, Genesis Mining seems to be legit, right?

Thanks a lot for everything,
John
