Reasons why i prefer mining coins than investing a dime on IEO/ICO projects
1. My profits is assured.
I dont have to wait for a project to do x3 or whatsoever to get profits on my invested cash,with better mining rigs and good calculator you will know when your ROI will come.
2. No worries of getting scammed
I dont have to investigate an exchange before investing or wasting time doing research on projects before investing,all i do is mine ETH and sell for fiat or decides to hold for a little while.
I actually like your idea about mining, it surely does have advantages over investing to projects but I think it has its own limit. I honestly did not experience mining simply because I don't have tools for that or simply, it is more expensive, I think. That is maybe the reason why I hooked myself into project investment more than other ways of earning cryptos. But the bottomline here is that, at times like this, almost every way of earning profit from crypto before seems so useless because the market value of most cryptos are continuously falling.
