the real question is how much eth could you have bought over the months when eth was $100 to - $150 instead of running your asics and rigs ? $8000 could have bought 800 eth lets say 700 x 600 thats $420k lol and im not even factoring in shipping.  All hes trying to tell you is u think u make money making what $15k but just buying eth at the lows would have crushed what u made buying those asics x20
asics and gpus are a hobby thing now , the time and effort setting up monitoring shipping etc isn’t worth the reward like back in 2016
