Wondering how it would have worked out historically if one would mined only and not sold?

Probably not so well. You’ll notice I mention bitfury in my op. They decided to stop selling and mine on their own and it didn’t seem to do them as well as they hoped (not to mention that they wanted $1000000 and up in investment sizes so they couldn’t have had too many).

At the end of the day, the mining is a very risky business. The technology advances are not that easy to predict, the price of Bitcoin is, as the market is now, a great unknown and overall, the ones that make the most certain benefit are only the manufacturers (particularly BM).

The only reasons I can think to start a non-industrial operation is having free electricity, or very subsidised at least or be extremely confident in the future price of Bitcoin. Even in that later case, the average guy would be better off by directly buying the coins in the markets in one of the dips.

I wonder if anyone has a comparison of how much would a miner have earned since whatever the year comparing with a simple Buy & Hodl.

There are things like this but I don't know how true that information/seller actually is and it doesn't give noise consumption or anything but I bet it's a lot!

Beware, that's a scam shop.

I think, with the current crypto situation, mining enthusiasts have begun to decrease because the income generated from mining is decreasing but costs are increasing because of the higher maintenance costs

Not to mention how individual miners are doing horribly at the moment.
18THs is about the maximum as far as I can tell and that doesn't give you much of a share. (less than 0.001BTC/day).

Miners became poorly sold. Why not try another direction for sales development?
This solution is very mobile and allows you to start mining very quickly.
To date, many manufacturers offer such containers.
Although it seems to me for some reason cheaper to hire an employee

They've come up with a new and original idea of an antbox (not really they're just copying bitfury)...

Since I'm not posting in the mining section as of now, I'll have to post this here.
I'm very cunfused as to how they seem to have worked out the weight before the price...

DISCLAIMER: miners are apparently sold separately...
