In theory you can invest that 200 and make 400 next month, what's stopping you; 6 months down the line you're in theory making 6400 per month (3200 gross profit) and have paid off your equipment?

In theory, but if the most profitable coins take a downturn, I could be left with a bill and a lot of very hot GPUs that would sell for a fraction of the price I bought them for.

I'm okay with my lower gains for less/no risk.
