nowadays it is very risky to buy a miner and think ROI with too much volatility and uncertainty where I think many are buying a miner for the fun of mining more than an immediate investment and ROI or to get rich. But buying 1 miner and hoping to make profits is highly unlikly and uncertain.

People who already are mining would keep on adding more miners with time to keep up with the difficulty as they capable of purchasing and adding without worrying much about the ROI since their mining operation is already in place.


Well thats just the thing with being a serious miner isn't it........Once you're mining, you can't stop for at least 5 years until your infrastructure has paid for itself.

This has always been the case ever since 2015. Nothing really changed. As much as I want mining to decentralize, it will never be as decentralized as the nodes, its still a long way off. There will always be advantage of scale (and electricity)
