Just figuring it all but would like to put some more money in but figuring out the difference between the trading and mining shares.
Obviously earnings potential differ greatly but just trying to figure out whether 5x$20 investment shares has the same earnings potential as 1x$100 mining share
At the moment I would opt for trading shares. The mining difficulty is going up all the time and currently mining pool earnings are only 0.63%. The Bitcoin value must raise significantly, like $900 or $1,000 to make the mining pool once again more profitable than the trading pool.
Good call, I'm presuming with the massive corporate investments in SHA256 hardware recently, the share trading portfolios should start doing better than the mining pool...
