Jacob | Five Eye Tea on Nostr: I'm dipping my toes in the water, first off. I'm not going to sell a kidney to buy ...
I'm dipping my toes in the water, first off. I'm not going to sell a kidney to buy mining hardware, then pay the excessive power bill that it racks up, just to get myself $50 of Bitcoin. It's just not worth it for me.
If I had gotten into this space earlier, it might have been a consideration but the sheer amount of money I'd have to invest in order to have a fighting chance at gaining any rewards from a mining system really wouldn't justify the cost for me, especially not at this point in my life. Right now, I have a lot more important things to worry about than desperately trying to find a way to try something I'm not convinced I'll go deep into.
