That is the way most people should adopt,those who cannot afford energy and are not willing like me to mine at a loss,they would be better to buy their favorite crypto in which they believe will skyrocket and use money that they would otherwise use on energy for mining to buy their beloved crypto.Personally I am mining at a loss,many consider it a gamble and that is what it is normally,I mine ETHW and hope the price of it to skyrocket.
Are you just mining a coin?
A suggestion is to mine several coins, to keep an interesting amount of each one, in order to stay in the expectation of some increase in value.
This can reduce the impact of some currency appreciating and not being the one you hadn't mined. So, if you mine a little bit of all of them, you're better positioned for the future.
