Just wanted to stop by the thread and say congratulations. I think at this point in time it's good to be diversified. I think the CME news and launching of futures on 12/18/17 should give us and the market an idea of what to expect. I.e., does it start a bear trend or do we keep pushing for the stars. Thankfully it sure looks like most current toasters from bitmain continue to be fairly reliable and working well. My only suggestion would be to continue to ramp up on the home scale mining. AFAIK, expenditures on mining can be expensed the year put into service under the 179 depreciation thing; so you can reduce income earned from mining and continue to expand operations. That should keep earnings and taxes maybe a bit lower.

I think for me, I don't think I'd really want to retire, at least not yet, I just want to expand mining operations more and more. It's an itch I just can't stop scratching lol. Still, having that sense of financial security is great and must be a huge relief.
