Analized my experience in cryptocurrency since 2014 year I made a conclusion that PoW mining is less profitable than just buying coins ever. With several exclusions that just confirmed the rule.
So what is your experience?
Cons and pros of both methods to make money in cryptoworld?
Now I prefer holding coins, PoS mining and other methods without noisy and hot hardware
Of course mining is less profitable than trading, because all cryptocurrencies are in the bear market.
Logically, if mining not profitable anymore, many miners will stop mining and the difficulty will decreasing, so we can mining with higher rate of incomes,
but even it is not too profitable, miners keep mining coins and and the difficulty is not decreasing too significant.
So, i agree that buying coins and trading will be more profitable if you gain.
