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?
In my opinion you should know first which are you good at. If you are good in technical and maintaining a mining rig then you should do that. But if you are really good in trading that $6000 will be more and if will be lucky can multiply it more that can afford to purchase the mining rig you want. Invest it first in bitcoin and learn to trade then if you have earn already enough to buy that equipment to do mining then you should put some cash on it too, so you have too earnings. Good luck.
