it is easy to understand thta mining is more profitable than buying coins from market. if i have worth to build a mining setup i would mine bitcoins but not to take profit. i have some friends who mines bitcoin for take some profit. they mine  then sell those bitcoin and pay energy bills . then they convert rest of money to fiat. at least they dont know what  is bitcoin. they know mining as just method to earn some fiat. but bitcoin mining is far beyond that . it is a better way to earn some bitcoins for future. no problem on how you earn bitcoins whether mining or buying. important thing is understand  bitcoin and earn some bitcoin for future.

Buying btc is easier to implement than mining it. Less action required, just bought and you have it. Whereas, with mining, you are buying the opportunity to get bitcoin after a lot of actions, like buying equipment, setting up and running the mining process, associated costs like paying for electricity and repairs. I have listed only superficially and all this can be more diverse. That is, it is riskier and you get btc only after a while. This path is more difficult and costly for beginners, and also requires the necessary skills and knowledge. Not everyone can and wants to load themselves with such tasks. So it turns out that buying bitcoin will be an advantage for anyone and this is a feasible task in terms of a low entry threshold (just follow the guide from the Internet). If you have money, you just bought it and btc is already with you. Without deferred receipt, as with mining. And here I agree with you that with the current discount of bitcoin, now it is more profitable to buy it directly without all these troubles with mining.

What is also to be considered is that if many people decide to mine bitcoin even if there is no profit above just to buy a bitcoin, mining will be less and less profitable for all the miners in general. This will actually weaken the bitcoin mining community what could be a bad thing.

Such situation won't arise, because only the large scale miners will be able to sustain such situations. With home miners they need to spend on electricity, maintenance and addition of GPU to compensate the mining when the difficulty increases. As said, if people think of making a stable earning unlike the market situation mining is the best choice. It requires a large capital to set up and further depending upon the market will be the profit and it requires dedicated observation. So, it is upon the users financial ability to go for buying/mining.

There might legit ones in the early stage of bitcoin and it is difficult to see now if at all they exist. I have also asked and I received similar answerseas this. But coming from the OP idea of the thread. I have got some sats of bitcoin and I am not proud of it because it is not big. It is not like something that could make one rich in the future. But whenever I remember I owe bitcoin, there's this kind of happiness that ignites in my heart.
I have wanted to join the mining of a thing, not actually for the profit but for the experience but I have been discouraged everytime I wanted to. Reason because it is expensive or it doesn't worth my time, but I am confused because people are doing it and still earning living from it.

Before we determine mining Bitcoin or buying Bitcoin, we need to understand what is the main differences between them. Mining needs specific knowledge and some mining equipment, not everyone can have these things. While buying Bitcoin can be done by each individual since it is very simple. You only need to have an exchange account and deposit some money. Once you have some funds on the exchange account, you can buy Bitcoin at any time and instantly. That's why most people prefer to buy Bitcoin to mine Bitcoin nowadays.

Buying bitcoins would be the right decision for now because, with all the preparations needed before you can start mining bitcoins, it will make it more difficult than just buying on the market. And with the bitcoin price dropping again this time, their opportunity to have more bitcoins than before is wide open and with the same amount of money, they can get more bitcoins. But if they try to mine bitcoins, even with expensive equipment, they won't be able to collect the same amount of bitcoins because they need time before they can collect the same amount.

At the current price, it would be best to buy a Bitcoin unless you already have mining hardware and software in place in order to avoid overhead costs, which can be thousands of dollars,  At top bull run prices, mining may perhaps make more sense.

Once you've made that little calculation, you've already seen which one is more profitable to do. Instead of spending more money to buy equipment to mine bitcoin, it would be better if we used that money to add to our initial capital to buy bitcoin. We can also have the opportunity to make a profit after buying bitcoin because, who knows, the price can immediately jump high after we buy it. And although the price of bitcoin is still long to be able to increase, we don't have to pay any fees because we only need to store and hold it for a while.

You should also consider that it's not profitable to everyone to mine bitcoin. Mining rigs consumes a lot of electricity and there are countries where electricity prices are very high. It's not just invest and earn when you want to mine bitcoin, you should also have the proper knowledge in maintaining those rigs so they won't break easily.


If this is what you mean on mining those bitcoin then you're just pitting us to lose money because most of the cloud mining platforms are scam.


Both mining and buying bitcoin have their own risk. You can also experienced drought when you're mining bitcoin like if your rigs got broken and need to spend a lot of money to fixed it or a calamity destroyed those rigs.
