This might be off-topic but do some of you more experienced guys recommend mining to the average guy who can‘t get more than 10 miners or should we just stick to buying and holding BTC?
I don‘t know what I‘d enjoy more. The noise of S9‘s mining in my apartment or just watching BTC grow.

I gather it's only about $300 profit per S9 per month and that is probably the best case scenario (heard these machines are not exactly reliable), and it will only drop. So even at 10 S9s you're only looking at $3000 per month. One BTC is growing by more than that at the moment and you don't have to do anything except keep your keys safe.

Personally I wouldn't do it.

If you factor in Bitcoin's price increase you would probably make more than whatever is the current rate, or you would at least hold it. But overall it'd generally still be more profitable to just buy and hodl BTC. Mining is more of a hedge for very large crypto portfolios in my opinion.

mining rigs would be cool to run in the winter months :-D i see mining as a good way to grab free cornzzz<<<
I have a room filled with miners that is actually quite hot. Pretty sure you could run a sauna on miners in the summer months.

I sleep in it sometimes too because I like lingering inside the noise. They actually help me fall asleep and stop me from waking up randomly.
