Bitcoin Mining Calculator: the truth they have been hiding since 2013

These so-called "most accurate" Bitcoin mining calculators... Let me tell you the truth as an experienced miner! Since May 2013, we have been fed promises of outrageous profits, but what do we actually have?

I personally spent thousands on ASIC miners that become outdated faster than you can set them up! Yes, of course, the calculator will show you nice profitability numbers based on the current hash rate and energy consumption. But these calculations do not take into account the reality — the increasing network difficulty, fluctuating electricity rates, and constant equipment issues.

These calculators are always "optimistically" pre-loaded with the latest difficulty and hash rate parameters for the "best" miners. Nonsense! They intentionally inflate the metrics to lure newcomers into this financial meat grinder. ASIC manufacturers primarily mine on the new devices themselves, and only then sell them to us, mere mortals, when the efficiency drops.

Bitcoin is now over 111 thousand dollars! Do you think calculators account for its volatility? Ha! Profitable today, and tomorrow you're in the red on electricity!

Every time I turn on my noisy farm, I remember how I was convinced that this is "passive income". What passive... It's like a second job — constant cooling problems, noise, internet outages. And large players with cheap electricity in China and Kazakhstan are making mining less and less profitable for ordinary people.

Don't let the pretty calculator numbers cloud your mind! Mining has long been not for ordinary users, but for corporations with million-dollar budgets!

BTC is currently 120,536.23 (+2.60%)... But try to recoup a modern ASIC with such a rate and current difficulty! Although, of course, everyone decides for themselves how to spend their money...
