FTFY
Low budget -> Basically No Income if not in the Loss category
Your confusion is only outpaced by your Stupidity.  

Feel free to start a topic helping others mine bitcoin for $1000 or less.
Odds are you lose them money, but it will be fun to watch them chew your ass out when your bullshit lands on your face.



And how many of those 9100 process transactions for FREE all of the Time?
Because there are some people that would like that, bob.


Another reason, you're clueless , you actually believe that nonsense.
~4 pool operators guarantee the integrity and security of the bitcoin network , energy expend is irrelevant in their power.


I guess the kind of shitpost that make a shithead like you go full retard.  

You think Bitcoin will survive on transaction fees alone
when Bitcoin Devs want the majority of transaction in LN offchain network
Don't want to increase onchain scaling of bitcoin
Are of the mind totally devoid of economic reasoning that expects people to pay insane transaction fees ,
when cheaper network just as secure are available.

The only thing we agree on is you are too much of a numb nuts to read or understand my posts.
Feel free to hit the ignore button, if it hurts your teeny tiny brain too much bob.

Also need a warehouse full of ASICS, if you going to make any real money.
Small miners can't afford to keep up with the difficulty increases, their expensive ASICS becomes a giant paperweight.

Even if you are lucky enough to earn a small profit, odds are it won't be enough to purchase that new asics every year or two.
So you're always in debt until you go bankrupt. It is a hampster wheel that ends with a dead hamster.

* The reason, that some of the largest PoW miners have not went bankrupt
is that they can raise massive amounts of Venture Capital funding and they survive off of that. *

Small time miners don't get many visits from VCs.  

Ask yourself this,
if ASICS were so profitable, why do the companies keep selling them instead of just using them to make money.
Answer because ASICS lose more money than they make, so selling them is more profitable.

Satoshi Assumed their would still be some free.

You can infer from the above, that Satoshi Never dreamed that bitcoin mining would be so expensive in the future, that there is no wiggle room for some free transactions, in the miner's profit margins. Or you could say he underestimated the miners greed.
