Do people still think bitcoin mining can be made for-profit?
I love the parallels between the gold rush and Bitcoin mining. Other than a few early adopters, by and large the people who got rich were those who sold Bitcoin mining equipment rather than the miners themselves.

Minning with CPU and GPU are far less profitable (if at all).
[QUOTE=J!NX;52173447]Do people still think bitcoin mining can be made for-profit?[/QUOTE] It hasn't been profitable for years unless you have plenty of specialized hardware and cheap electricity. People have moved onto cryptocurrencies like Ethereum or Monero if they want to mine using a GPU and still turn a profit.

TIL Biostar still exists
