i think Bitcoin is only profitable if done at large scales. you must get expensive mining equipment and of course it consumes a lot of electricity monthly. Also its usually much more cost effective to buy Bitcoins with this money instead of using it to buy mining equipment.
Mining bitcoins and trading in the market is not the same and should not be compared because they are both different way's of earning cryptocurrency. The best thing to do is focus on one and choose what you prefer on earning in order to get more profit.
