Re: New to Bitcoin. Should I mine or buy coin with my $6000

Hi Everyone,

I'm new to cryptocurrencies and would like to know your opinion on what best to do with my $6000.

I was initially planning on purchasing a GPU mining rig with gtx 1070s but then upon further research found that 1070s can only do 600-700 sol/s

Then I found the asicminer equihash which can do 40,000 sol/s and costs $14,800 which will be released on July along with new nvidia generation cards.

I know its a bit late now to start but I am really thinking hard on this but I need opinions from veteran guys.

tl:dr;

1. Should I buy bitcoin with my $6000 or
2. Use it to buy a 1070 GPU mining rig or
3. Wait until July for new nvidia graphics card to come out (or the asicminer equihash).

Thanks so much for all your feedback.

*Edit: Would like to inform everyone that electricity costs would not be a problem as I have a way to manage it. Considering that electricity cost is not an issue, is mining going to be profitable for me right away?


Considering that the electricity bills are not a problem for you, I think that mining bitcoins would
be a much better choice for you because bitcoins will never lose demand in my opinion. Furthermore,
as a newbie, I think that it would be giving you better returns and be able to avoid losses than
investing because you are still new to this industry and may find it hard to measure when to buy or sell.
