Not necessarily. It means that you have to collect just a bit more money and buy a S9. They sell for as low as 1300 dollars nowadays and with that fixed electricity this miner will be profitable for at least a few months. The trick here is to have this mine for you rather than buying cryptos as when you buy you pay a fee, when you mine it yourself you have a good natural feeling about it and the price of bitcoin may have rose during this time, so you can win much more with less bitcoin for only an investment of 85 dollars. It is all about the electricity, once you get it fixed like you say then it depends on the user intelligence and how open minded he is to be successful in mining.
