That was the reason why I stopped mining with BTC ASIC units since the profitability dropped a lot and the electricity rate increased.

Maybe you can try other units that can mine other coins but for BTC ASIC units your profit is negative I've tried that I also lost in d3 units it just makes noise with negative profit.

Check this site for profitable ASIC units https://www.asicminervalue.com/

And I suggest to read this "First time/Small miner reference for getting started."
But if your plan is for learning purposes then you can try USB ASIC miner like Compac F or for DIY check BitAxe. It consumes less power compared to big units like antminer s21.

he could get the avalon for about 175 usd. psu and shipping.

it does 3.3 th and 110 watts.

mine it to nicehash and get 15 cents a day in btc.

in around 400 days he will get a payout of 0.001 btc or say 63 bucks. if btc goes up he will turn a profit.

at worse he loses a few hundred. he does help the network. and no one will know the owner of the btc if he uses a core wallet address.

not the way to riches.
