I’ve been noticing a lot of interest in mining among a fresh crop of crypto investors. It’s a good way to get a nuts-and-bolts understanding of proof of work (PoW) cryptocurrencies, but not something that is likely to be profitable. (Although at the current run up in the crypto markets anything is possible.) Do it for the fun and the experience, but just invest directly via an onramp like Coinbase or Binance or Gemini to escape the “melting ice cube” of holding USD.
Betcha this is the ChiCom’s increasing their market share of bitcoin mining.
