Why even bother to mine with a few minres and earn a couple of dollars a day. Mining is only worth it if you can build a big farm with a lot of capital. Most of you guys are better off working a regular job and just buying crypto.

I'm not a small time miner, but here's my 2cts.

1. Working an average job, with an average pay and getting stuck in traffic every day like every other average looser out there is not what I call better off. Granted, it gets you a stable revenue.
2. Most of us, small, average or big time miners do this for a variety of reasons. We do it as a hobby, we do it because it actually pays the bills. But honestly, I think we all do it simply because we all secretly hope that the coins we mine will one day get us out of point #1 so we can do something else with our lives than spend it working 8-5

A good and precise answer, we do have all our reasons and the fact that mining still profitable and helpful to those who understand it, I think OP is not a miner itself but just looking for some analysis, those who have small rigs and still manage to continue are still believing that someday the value of what they are holding will be mooning, as long as it can pay electricity bills and the rigs still working and surviving that's still a good news for small miners like us.
