If you mine you also invest in BTC. You have to buy your gear and you have to pay the utility bill.
If you want to sell to other people you can use localbitcoins.com

Well, I only have the equipment because I built the computer a year ago as my first custom gaming build, I only just realized its potential to mine the past couple of days. So essentially I never invested a dime into mining, I just ran into it with equipment I already had.
Also, I don't pay my electric bill, low-income housing ftw Grin

The only thing I'm arguably investing is the lifespan of my 7950, which runs 73-75C when mining. Though I've heard it's potentially worse to go from idle to gaming consistently than to run at full-load all the time.

But I digress, I'm getting the feeling at this point that people typically buy BTC for the average market price among all markets?
