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
First of all, it would cost a lot of money for anyone to be able to buy and maintain a cryptocurrency miner, so I believe this question is for the whales in the space, because an average person might not be able to afford a miner and I think buying is the best option for that person.
Buying is more easier than setting up miners because buying can be done with any amount of money but miners not huge capital to get good returns.
