Dont believe me? Just ask anyone who unprofitably mined BTC when it was at $1000.
Lol that goes without saying. But would I rather mine RVN that cost me 10 cents each, or just buy some for 5? From a personal selfish standpoint, if your electricity rates are high, just go buy RVN.
It's the age-old argument of what matters most to you; more coins at the end of the day, or being loyal to your coin. If you want more coin, you need to be mining the most profitable coin for your setup and exchange your earnings for the coin(s) you want to accumulate. If you just want to be loyal to your coin, even if you will make less at the end of the day, just mine your coin.
Personally, I just wish I hadn't sold Raven for 305 Sats at what I thought was a pump (with the intention of buying back more when the price dropped). Still mining Raven, but so strange, I am not getting as many coins per day as I was.
