speculation on coin prices is too hard, there is absolutely nothing backing these coins, its like doing Forex without knowing the market of the currency you want trade in.
At least with mining, ya know approximately what you will get no matter what, and if price tanks, you can sell off the hardware.
But you are speculating is my point. Yes, underlying is some capital asset that can be sold for a loss to recoup some of the investment. If coin markets crash to zero, expect more than 30% loss maybe 50% as gpus flood the market. So my point is with mining you are essentially speculating with 30%-50% of the capital you invest in hardware anyway and you are speculating prices will rise. so just buy the coin and you don't need mining to geek out, plenty of other ways to scratch that itch.
