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 really don't think that comparing them will do any good. Both have their own share of difficulty and downsides. You said you prefer mining because you don't have to wait to get profit? I thought everyone here are masters of waiting, all for the right timing. Even the miners I know wait up before selling their mined crypto because the capital they have invested in the materials and internet is not a small money.
