I'm not really with you n your question but I think that you're wondering whether you should mine or trade, personally I recommend you to trade first, just because mining might takes lots of your time due to electricity costs and ridiculous prices for the asic miners - it will take you anywhere between 250- infinite days to break even. After that time you make a slow profit. You have a high initial investment at high uncertainty. In contrast, trading (let’s say investing: buy and hold) helps you get the real thing! You start making a profit from day one onwards.
