I remember when i first heard about BTC then it wasn't really worth much but the funny thing then is that we were busy using 2GO instead of diving deep into blockchain, by now i would have become wealthy not to talk of being rich. But all the same, we are still alive and no one knows tomorrow. I also remember then, they spoke about mining of BTC, are people still mining it and what are the requirements to do that, at least to recover my past ignorance?
If you ask me , I could say depending on some major factors it could be too late for you to venture mining. Mining was much more profitable back in the day and not now when you need an enormous amount of hash rate to run a setup. Back then it was possible to mining with a good GPU and CPU unlike now.
Another big set back is cost of buying , maintenance and even electricity costs for running the wares and sometimes if you are in a region with high electricity costs you could end up in loss or zero profit net.
