i think altcoin is not really good to mine, because it is so able to buy.
mining is need a lot of money because we have to buy miner mechine and need a lot of energy to make that miner mechine is work.
buy altcoin is so simple and we can get profit with trade, so that is my oppinion.
It's much easier if you can invest your money buying alts than setting up your mining machines and have problem with your expenses and maintenance, if you can afford to invest inside trading you can buy and wait the coin to rise and enjoy no need to complicate anything.
