I find this argument thoughtless. Those of us who don't own our own homes are often prohibited from making these kinds of modifications.

Also if you have enough $$ worth of mining equipment to necessitate a dedicated 240v circuit, you probably should have had home ownership higher on your priority list.

This is a little pushy .. next time, if you're a miner, you should own a boat too, have 5 kids and live in a mansion, if one can find a good enough reason. Three years ago you'd find ONLY geeky guys with their GPUs/CPUs in the landscape. Now we jumped to data-center grade stuff, and I don't see the need to own a house yet just for "being a miner".

Indeed. Mining has become a toff sport now. Its by and large lost it roots, and this loss will be the eventual death of the bitcoin ecosystem as it gets swallowed up by the fiat system.

I agree that mining has become mostly centralized by the wealthy, but I am not rich at all. You don't need to be rich to own your own house.
