I think mining is not very profitable at the moment, and if you really want to do it, then what you need to do is mine at a bear moment as one of the replies said.
So, when do you think the bear market will show up, and what if the current stage is likely to be the next bear market?
That’s not even the problem. Rather, the issue is the hash rate increasing while he awaits the bear period to start mining (if he will be heeding what you mentioned). This means even by then, the little hash rate he can provide now will be even less effective, and besides, he’s not going to make a significant profit with his setup. He got positive answers already, it’s left to him to make the right decision
