Hypothetically speaking. You win a 50k scratcher at your local gas station...how would you spend that money in the crypro world? What coins would you invest in? Would you mine coin, if so what kind of mining rigs would you get? What would be your dream crypto investing scenario with a 50k bank roll?
Mining is highly dependent on your local electricity price. And your experience.
The easiest, semi-long term and requiring no time and experience at all, way to do a decent profit - just buy Bitcoin for $50K and hold for 2-4y. This is a way better than start mining.
If you want some adrenaline - start reading and then - ICO investments.
