I have been involved with bitcoin since about 2009, I remember mining it with my CPU when that was still a viable thing to do!!!
Now only the big guys with huge mining farms are making any money with it, and new BTC is only a positive side effect, earning is more profitable my having as many transactions in each block, due to the transaction fees paid to the miners.
However, with all the up and down swings that we saw these last few months, it was difficult to decide when to buy, when to hold, and when to sell, butit appears BTC has stabilized around US$575 right now... I am buying BTC using US$ at the following link:

If you buy some with this reference number, you get US$10 free BTC for signing up, and I get the same as a reward for referring you.
So, if you live in a country where you can use CoinBase, have a go at buying more BTC.
