Is it still possible to mine for bitcoins using a normal desktop computer nowadays?

Nope! Bitcoin solo mining is not at all profitable now. You need to have expensive rigs and not just one, a lot of it. Then only you will be able to mine bitcoin. Also consider the electricity cost in your area. At the end of the day, you will be paying out of your pocket. SO it is better to trade and buy bitcoin.

Alternatively, you can mine few altcoins through your computers and exchange it to bitcoin for good. This way you can still earn some profit. But direct mining through computer is not profitable and it may take 3 years to even find a single block.
