if I want to pile up btc and keep it for the long haul, setting up my own mining gig sounds awesome because I'd control everything, costs, gear, all of it. But it takes a ton of know how, time, and cash. Teaming up with a mining crew that's already rolling could get going quicker and cheaper though it wouldn't call all the shots on stuff like energy bills. I love the idea of immersion cooling, it keeps things running smooth and lasts longer but it is pricey to start. With the real estate, you could hunt down cheap power and build something solid but starting with a partner might help you grow fast, just check with some pros on laws and taxes first.
