Hello everyone! I have high hopes for the long-term value of Bitcoin, and I believe it will continue to shine in the future! Right now, I am considering how to get into BTC, torn between whether mining is more cost-effective or if buying spot is more suitable. I plan to invest 300 yuan daily to buy Bitcoin. The initial cost of mining is high (mining machines, electricity fees, etc.), but it may yield better long-term returns, though there are also technical barriers and risks. Buying spot is simple and direct, but I have to face short-term fluctuations.

I would like to ask all the experts:

1 With a daily budget of 300 yuan and assuming a long-term bullish outlook on BTC, which is more likely to amplify returns: mining or buying spot?

2 What are the actual costs of mining (electricity, equipment depreciation, etc.) and what are the returns like? Any recommendations for mining machines for beginners?

3 What is the current mining difficulty and profit outlook? Under the premise of holding BTC long-term, is it worth the effort to mine?

4 If buying spot, what platforms or strategies do you recommend? Is dollar-cost averaging suitable for my long-term bullish mindset, or should I try to time the market for lower buys?

Everyone is welcome to share their experiences and advice! I especially want to hear how friends who are also bullish on BTC are laying out their plans, thank you!
