I read some replies, mainly in the Mining section that said mining was a fun hobby for them and not a thing that they could continue doing as a business. In the Project Development section I found many projects that generated profit like your local businesses.
How serious is BTC to you? Could you look at it as a foundation of business/job or is it just an exciting hobby/experiment?
I guess it greatly depends on the amount of bitcoins you have
If you have only dust, the question would be ridiculous itself since the only thing that you could do with your "stash" is to just gamble it away. If you had a few thousand bitcoins and they made up a hefty share of your total wealth, then, obviously Bitcoin would be a great deal to you. Also, it depends on how you use your bitcoins specifically. If they just sit idly in your wallet, it is one thing, while it will be a totally different one if you make a living off them, for example, through day trading
