Simple Mining

Peter and Rich each had $2,500. Peter bought Bitcoin and held it Rich bought an S19 miner and ran it on 7 cent power, selling a little of what it mined to cover the electric bill. Rich sells the machine at year 2: 75% more Bitcoin than Peter. Rich keeps mining to year 4: 25% more. Two extra years of mining cost him Bitcoin. Mine vs buy comes down to two levers you control: what you pay for the machine and what you pay for power. The full math is in our free guide, Mine vs Buy Bitcoin: The 2027 Math, with a prompt that runs it on your own numbers. Drop a comment and we'll send it.

I don't know who needs to read this, but Satoshi invented Bitcoin instead of running for President for a reason.

The IRS doesn't care what you bought. It only cares what you report. Many investors send the IRS a check first. Then they buy Bitcoin with what's left. Some business owners do it the other way. They buy Bitcoin miners first. Then the check to the IRS can be smaller. Send this article to your CPA. See which order works best for you.

The silent profit killer you’ve never heard of... Paying for hours your miner isn’t running. Take one Antminer S21 XP Hydro and two hypothetical hosts: Host A: $0.08 per kWh, 95% uptime. Host B: $0.06 per kWh, 75% uptime, billed for every hour. Host B looks 25% cheaper on the rate sheet. But host A still earns more. A rate only tells you the price of an hour. Uptime and billing tell you how many hours you get for it. Before comparing rates, ask four things: • Do I pay while my machine is offline? • How fast do repairs happen? • How is uptime measured? • What does leaving cost? A cheap rate is how a $100,000 setup can turn into a disaster.

Imagine you had the worst timing in Bitcoin history. You bought exactly 1 BTC at each of the four cycle tops: • $1,150 in 2013 • $19,700 in 2017 • $69,000 in 2021 • $120,000 in 2025 Total spent: about $210,000. Every purchase at the literal peak. At today’s $77k, those 4 BTC are worth $308,000. Up 43%, having only ever bought tops. The absolute worst entries still made money. Time in the asset forgave the worst entries imaginable. Now imagine you had the opportunity to buy the bottoms...

Every investor in AI stocks is ruined. If the financing never arrives. Think about what the AI buildout is made of: Trillions of dollars of data centers and power plants, paid for with borrowed money, in the same years governments and companies have to roll over more debt than ever. Liquidity is the constraint. History shows capital-heavy booms often finish with overcapacity and squeezed margins. When credit gets scarce, a debt-based system tends to turn to money printing and everything denominated in that money gets diluted along with it. Bitcoin sits outside all of it. It has no issuer and it caps out at 21 million. AI may change the world. But the scarce assets outside the debt system are what investors may want to own when it does.
