I even wonder if the S9 will be worth the buy. Sad

With cheap power it's pretty halving-resistant. It's got enough hash power and low enough electricity consumption that it will be a money maker for a while, especially if btc price keeps climbing.

With low electricity cost, S9 should be profitable next year as well because not much more power effecient equipment is planned anytime soon, but you should pay only the right BTC so you can realistically mine the Bitcoin back preferably in about half of a year to be safe.

And predicting longterm difficulty is not easy, so you might end up mining the BTC you paid much longer, but obviously you can sell the S9 as well for Bitcoin (but if the price goes up it might be not much BTC anymore). Its risky, but its fun and you can turn Bitcoin profit.
