To make money at BC now, you need the computational power of huge server farms. The processing power required to generate a new BC has doubled like 20X this year alone.
The progression of complexity is a logarythm... as in 2,4,8,16,32,64,128,512,2024 - take that progression out 20X - it needs around 60K the processing power to generate a BC today as it did only 12 months ago.
Plus the SEC is investigating over 20 virtual currencies, including BC, to see if they're Ponzi schemes.
So, I'm thinking no.

The SEC is investigating Bitcoin to see if its a Ponzi scheme?
This is news to me.
Can you actually back up what you say and point me to a link with some information on this?

Nowhere on there does it mention ANYTHING about them investigating Bitcoin itself in this way. Bitcoin's value is taking a bit of a hit because of this mess because it is being bundled (unjustifiably so) with the rest of the cryptocurrencies. Those ICOs are NOT cryptocurrency as far as Im concerned and the sooner theyre taken down the better for all involved - and certainly the better for Bitcoin itself.
Stop spreading FUD friend.

Still profitable in most places if you already have the machine, not profitable to go out and buy one though.

Altcoin mining has been rewarding so far. Just need prices to go up a bit and for fox news to hype it up next year then cash out.
If all fails it'll have been a good heat source for this coming winter.

If you can't afford to invest so much money into this, mining Altcoins is a good alternative, especially Monero (from what I heard from my miner friends). It's good rewarding.

If prices increase a lot again then BTC will again become profitable to mine
The outlay is so much though and the price far too low at the moment for it to be a good investment V investing in other areas.

ETH is going to take a hit when they decrease the block reward from 3 ETH to 2 ETH in late Oct as quoted by the ETH dev team in their livestream. It's to hopefully curb inflation and still be appealing to larger ICOs in the long run. If you really want to invest in ETH flat out then that is the time to buy it as I imagine miners will get discouraged and start dumping ETH back in. It's gonna go way down in order to future proof itself, like +0.25/cents a day down with a high end Nvidia card. Even less if you pay more than 0.069 cents / kwh for electric like me. So none of this guarantees prices will skyrocket again, but you'll have to hope if you're invested in a GPU miner.
Alternatively Monero takes just about a year to break even for each vega 56/64 gpu investment, so you have to hope it will go back up like it was in late Dec early Jan to make a real profit. Back then you could pay off a gpu in as little as 4-6mo.
With the volatility (hard forks, algorithm changes) of the market I wouldn't go anywhere near an ASIC miner unless you want a really expensive doorstop. GPU's you can at least resell and make your investment back.

I had a 112 gpu mining farm, I shut it down. It is no longer profitable electricity will be more cost more than your earnings(unless you have the equipment and DIRT CHEAP electricity). At one point I was pulling 10k a month, that went down to about -100+ a month....

Nothing is real in his domain. He could not afford to buy jack squat.
