I read somewhere that at $6,000 price of Bitcoin, mining can be profitable depending on the cost especially that of electricity in running the enterprise. Now, since we are now at the $8,000 level this can mean money to miners and with the miners ban in China this can be a good opportunity for newcomers to make a killing in this bull run. However, we know that mining is not profitable in many locations because of the expenses involved plus this business can be an issue with places with limited supply of power and sometimes politics can come into the picture complicating things.
