I just read an article comparing online Bitcoin mining and BTC trading, pretty interesting. Currently, BTC has risen to $77.29K, but the question is, which method should I choose to make money?
Actually, online Bitcoin mining is no longer very popular because the equipment and electricity costs are too high. On the other hand, trading BTC on margin exchanges is much more accessible — small capital, leverage, and profit from both upward and downward movements. With online Bitcoin mining, you have to spend tens of thousands of USD and wait a long time, and the profits are not even guaranteed.
I think if you're a beginner, trading would be more reasonable. Who is playing which way? Can you share your experience with me?
