Is there a need to explain the difference in Alt-Coin mining and bitcoin mining again?

Alt-coin mining has been popular due to ASIC-resistance (Anyone could mine and make a profit).

Bitcoin mining on the other hand is impossible to profit from without costly ASICs. If you have a Jet you'll make money, but I'd rather buy bitcoin than mine it after buying a Jet.

If you were to mine bitcoin, I'd suggest cloud mining.

Josh, you remind me of that mosquito that buzzes my ear right after I turn the lights out and go to bed.

While you don't do any real harm, you're also not good for anything either. Mainly, you're just annoying.

Are you sure you will profit with costly ASICs? You would rather speculate than engage in an activity you claim would positively result in profit. I think that speaks volumes about your economic wisdom, and the advice you have provided the readers of this board.

No, it is you who insists there is some sort of distinction between the two that makes mining Bitcoins worthwhile and Alt-Coins not worthwhile. I don't believe there are any material differences that make one more worthwhile than the other. Is that clear enough for you?

Another poster in this very thread has abandoned the activity because it is not worth the effort. So just anyone won't make a profit from mining Alt-Coin despite your claim.

I can guarantee you I will not be mining Bitcoin now or in the future. And if you think I would follow your economic advice I would refer you to the first paragraph of this post as a reminder of how much I value your advice.
