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 chose mining than ICO, I have now mining set in my house and I keep earning from it. ICOs are really tough investment, I tried to invest some of my money in ICO and I only experience loss.
You never know if the money you invest in a project gives you a profit of you can lose everything. From this viewpoint, mining is better, as each time you know: you make a bit (soon after you cover expenses on equipment, surely). However, trading attracts me more as here, if you work hard, the profit can be tens (at least) times higher than with mining, although it is also risky stuff.
