I keep myself motivated because I can invest the money I get from crypto mining by buying cryptos that are really low in value and keeping them until they spike in price,it is a lot like gambling only that it happens in a long period of time,right now I am obsessed with FUN token and Shiba so I have lots of them again with some other coins,I diversify my portfolio.So far the only big money I made was because of mining Bitcoin through Nicehash in the beginning years 2016-2019 but I want to make another big profit on other coins and that is enough to keep me motivated.

Thanks for responding. What conflicts me is that I know the crypto winter is coming and all my GPUs except 5700xt are over 2 years old. So sometime I get tempted to sell and move on. Otherwise I feel like need to change all motherboards and PSUs. I have changed all the risers 6 months back. How often you change other stuff beside the GPUs?

Saying you got tired of them is like saying you don't want the profits anymore, now that mining is still profitable how can you say you are tired of the rigs? You wanna give them away 😉? I'm right here, jokes apart if your electricity bill is cheap don't ever give up on mining.

What I meant was that I only saw one crypto winter and now I know the next one is coming soon. People here have seen more than one and just wondering how they keep themselves going?

Well I haven't change anything except risers because I buy premium brands for my mining activities,like PSU is always a Gold 80 Plus as a minimum and is always the Corsair or Evga brand,I have Corsair PSU-s running since early 2017 and they are still powering my new rig.If I start another rig this time I make sure to buy branded (not Chinese unbranded) riserless motherboards like Asrock H510+ being one of the best.If you buy premium brands all of your parts for mining you don't have to change anything in the long run except some GPU-s that may fail overtime.

Bottom line is don't save money on parts as it is going to be more expensive to run the rig for the longer run.
