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.
At this time it would be very unwise to invest in cloud mining and for other investment i would make sure you do your due dilligence.
It seems to me that everybody somehow is after your money and that's not just it. Many have ill and rotten intentions and will likely run away with your money. If you are new witb bitcoin it would be best to juts hold onto your bitcoins.
