People always said that buying is better than mining (and they have been right almost all of the time), but where's the fun in just buying?

When you're an ex-miner, recognize how unprofitable and a pain in the balls it is to run a mining operation, end up doing the math on a miner + electricity + Time to ROI... fuck the fun.

Time is money. Cheaper to buy what you would spend on a miner now, than what it would likely generate 18 months from now, IMO.

Unless you have cheap or free electricity, I don't see the benefit of mining right now vs just buying corn outright.

Er, you could be mining right now with something that you bought 2 years ago for CASH.
The equipment is paid for already, now you are just stacking sats for LESS.
That, plus often neglected fact that the cost of equipment is amortized, possibly within one year (if you opened the LLC or some other entity).
Of course, you would need to declare mined btc as income; then, after you sell, that income becomes the base cost, which is subtracted from the sale proceeds (if you ever sell), generating cap gains.

what is this "brake pedal" you speak of?
[Multple stuff]

Just a quick note but when combining multiple posts, it is better to put the items in the new post rather than the already existing one (then delete the existing one) lest those who have already seen your original post miss it when looking for "new".

bold of you to think people dont want to miss anything jjg writes

Breakout to the upside coming, $50,000 is the new normal. Bears failing to take us lower & keep us there. Explosive breakout coming in the next 2 weeks. Looking at range of $65,000 to $75;000.

There goes my plan to buy more at $40,xxx  Roll Eyes

In contrast all my business ventures were non-profit. It wasn't planned that way, it just happened because I am very bad at serious business (read: selling people overpriced shit they didn't need in the first place <- my definition of todays growth-centric economy).

Heh, same here. Fortunately I am not bad at recognizing world-changing technologies and this time, had the confidence to do something about it.

These are the main aspects that just don't add up for me.
Or is there a very basic error i'm making in my assumptions?

The main thing you're missing is orbital mechanics. The ISS experiences earth's gravity quite strongly and so do its occupants yet they are in freefall. Relative to their local surroundings they appear to have no "weight" but they definitely do by physical definitions (and I don't mean mass which exists in all frames, of course).

The weight of the counterweight will be less but that's fully accounted for and not a major factor.

I wish I'd left my miner running a bit longer. Though it was definitely not worth the electricity, it would have paid off. But then again, so would buying Bitcoin with the dollars.

People always said that buying is better than mining (and they have been right almost all of the time), but where's the fun in just buying?

I have always mined for fun and education and it served me well in both areas.
I have also almost always mined at loss (only counting the leccy, not even trying to ROI the miners), but today I am quasi-retired thanks to my MAHUSP (Mining And Holding Until da Shit Pumps). Though since I pay the leccy much later than I use it, it was basically buying on credit and once I had to pay the leccy I was already in profit most of the time.

In contrast all my business ventures were non-profit. It wasn't planned that way, it just happened because I am very bad at serious business (read: selling people overpriced shit they didn't need in the first place <- my definition of todays growth-centric economy).

I even plan to buy a few of jstefanops SHA256 pod miners and play the solo lottery with them. I really like how he brings mining back to the unwashed masses.

Looks like it lost a booster at the end there.

It lost even more a short moment thereafter (once landed)  Grin

I heard you like rockets so I made this gif



this is a video capture from the first successful landing of the new spacex starship rocket. I don't know how they made it, it looks unreal, computer animated. Most likely a drone captured that.

Looks like it lost a booster at the end there.
