PSA: It's still much more profitable to buy BTC and hold it then mine cryptos.
If you bought a 1070 a month ago for $400 it would have made you roughly $75 ($2.5 x 30). BTC increased by 56% over the last month (you could've made more if you bought and sold at big peaks), that same investment of $400 would have earned you $224 or $7.5 per day. More then three times what you could earn mining. That $400 is also very fluid, meaning you can buy/sell/reinvest/buy equipment with it. That 1070 is now a asset and can't be easily sold or repurposed.
Have fun.
Here's a PSA:
If you bought a 1070 a month ago it would still be worth $400 today and you'd have that $75. In fact, repeat that over the course of a year and we can buy several more GPUs and several more $75 earnings. I bet in 5 years from now you can still sell a 1070 for at least $200. Who knows what the price of bitcoin will be.
Either way, invest in bitcoin or invest in GPUs... it doesn't matter and is totally up to the individual. If I'm boring then I'll just buy bitcion and vegetate while watching TWD. If I'm super cool crypto guy I'll mine
