Hello community!

I a programmer and product developer and started to be interested in mining to late I think... (correct me if I'm wrong). So the question for you experienced miners is:
Is the mining still profitable? Bitcoin,zcach,bitcoin cash,monacoin? What mining device you recommended to start with (around 4k$ is a budget for start). Thanks in advance!
Yes it is profitable and it will be profitable in the near future. Try to find some services which can count a mining profit.
