[Serious] Advice on mining, is it worth it still? ETH, XMR

Genuine opinion my dad invests in this quite alot, i find it interesting to watch and the best piece of advice ive heard from him to other people, was invest in other crypto currencies like Neo (a very fast growing currency) or ethereum which could potentially be the next bitcoin as its rapidly increasing in comparison to bitcoin, for example ethereum was up by 4.7% on monday when bitcoin was down by 3.7%, so if i had to say, it would be better investing personally i believe anyway hope this is helpful
