Is trading really better? With this you're basically guaranteed a profit, as long as you can find a spot instance cheaper than the mined amount.

as long as you can find a spot instance...

In other words never. Now that this is out of the bag it's over.

youre guaranteed a small profit. Trading is greater risk greater reward.

Mining might get you hundreds, low thousands a month. Trading is 10s thousands / low hundreds thous. Month

I remember seeing stats that something like 90% of the traders lose money trading stocks. I'm sure it's the same in crypto, though it's compensated by the nearly constant growth. I doubt though that many traders beat the simple buy-and-hold strategy.
LoL. Son, you must be new at this.
