well, sir, it depends on what you mine with. Cloud mining websites are a safe way to go. but I heard that eth is pretty stable and if you wanna mine profitably. you should in my opinion what I would do is just buy Rx 480's second hand and use them to mine. so instead of earning money with mining. you are gonna earn money with those GPUs because in 120 days or so you can afford another 480 and your emporium of 480's can begin. but it is always a gamble. money is never easy to earn if it is too easy. keep that in mind, if it was so easy why isn't your neighbor mining crypto instead of working right? because he doesn't know poop about crypto or because he doesn't want to take risks.
