If you had $50,000 to invest into mining, or coins...
Would you GPU Mine, or buy Asics?
What percentage would you put into altcoins?
I'm curious to see how others would spread their money.
For me, I would probably start with half GPU mining, half Asics. I'm new though so I'm not sure what is best if I had that type of money.
It will be wiser if you put it all in altcoins. Why? Let's look in the future...
If ever you use your money in mining, there are a lot of additional expenses you need to cover: your bill for current, your locale where you will put up your mining business, and the status of the coins you are going to mine. In the near future, all bitcoins will be mined. Then what will you do after?
On the other hand, if you put your money on altcoins through trading, then it will be better. It is you who controls your fate. You can decide if how many percent of your money are you going to put in each altcoins. I also recommend you to divide your money to different altcoins so that you can have a chance to return your capital if ever the price other altcoins will fall.
