Re: Bitcoin Mining VS just buying Bitcoin and HODLing! Which one is more profitable?
You’ve outlined many of the operational and strategic upsides really well - especially the fact that mining creates both an asset base and recurring BTC flow, which is often overlooked by pure HODLers.
From my experience, the key advantage is compounding with optionality: daily BTC payouts give you the flexibility to sell a portion for operating costs or reinvest, while keeping the rest as a long-term stack. That flexibility can be a huge edge in volatile markets.
That said, there are moments when buying and holding can outperform - especially in regions with high power costs or unstable regulation. In those cases, the absence of operational risk makes HODL cleaner. But when you have a sustainable power price and a scalable setup, mining often wins in BTC terms over multi-year horizons.
It really comes down to risk-adjusted BTC accumulation - and mining, done right, shifts that curve in your favor

BTC
I am the VP of a Bitcoin Mining facility and i come across this question ALL THE TIME!!!!
Here is why i thing Bitcoin Mining is better option than just buying and HODLing and below is an article by me about it.
1. Long-term, you accumulate more BTC
2. Daily cash flow instead of stagnant holding
3. Greater flexibility when selling your BTC
4. Purchase of real, tangible assets
5. Combined value of machines and cash flow
6. Tax benefits from purchase and operation
7. Connection with experienced miners and OGs
8. Resale of machines at a good price
9. Opportunities for profitable strategies
10. Limited options if you only hold BTC

Let me know any takes on the subject that i can use to defent my position, but also if you think that BUYing and HODLing it makes more sense, give me reasons please!

With $10M on the table, you’re not just “building a farm,” you’re creating a full-fledged infrastructure business in a foreign market.
Key questions I’d explore before saying yes:
• Timing & market cycles: How would the project remain profitable if BTC drops 50% a year after launch?
• Capex vs. Opex: Will your power cost advantage offset hardware depreciation, maintenance, and hosting overheads?
• Local execution: How strong is the Oman team for permitting, logistics, and grid stability?
• Exit options: Can you structure contracts so you can step back or sell your stake if market conditions turn?
If you can answer those with confidence — and surround yourself with a battle-tested operations team — the risk becomes a lot more manageable

Hello, everyone! I’d like to talk to you about an opportunity that has come up. I have experience with home mining setups, rigs with 50/60 GPUs. However, a friend of mine, who has substantial funds and influential connections, recently secured investors to put $10 million into a crypto mining farm project. He also managed to obtain a license to set up this farm in Oman, where energy costs are as low as $0.06 per kWh.
Here’s the thing: he asked me to lead the project. While I have experience, I’m not knowledgeable about large-scale farms. I believe I can study, structure a plan, and assemble an appropriate team, but the scale of the project feels overwhelming. I would have a stake in the project and receive a monthly income, but I’m also questioning whether this is the right time to take this on.
We’re living in a dream phase for Bitcoin with the bull market, but starting this farm now means it would only be operational in about a year and a half. By then, there’s the possibility of a significant Bitcoin correction due to political factors or external events, which historically tend to cause sharp price drops.
What would you do in my situation? What contingencies do you think I should consider? Is it worth taking this risk? I’m in a relatively good place in life right now. I have my investments, my savings in crypto, and I don’t depend on taking on this level of stress to maintain my lifestyle.
I’d love to hear your perspectives on this and see the situation through different eyes.

Spot on—capacity factor beats nameplate every time. ⚡️ Figure out the reliable kW (and daily kWh) your source can deliver, its ramp/curtail profile, and whether a 🔋 buffer pencils out. Then size a 24/7 baseline with your most efficient ASICs, and treat any solar surplus as burst capacity for older rigs or overclock windows. Profit follows stability, not peaks. 🌤️
First question that comes to mind, isn't how many KW you need to make it profitable. With free energy you're already more or less profitable even with a lower hash rate.
The question is how many KW of free energy can it reliably supply and does it have battery backup.
If you're exclusively using solar to power it, expect it to black-out as the sun doesn't always shine.
Once you have a baseline for the amount of power available then you could use one of the many profitability calculators and work out which miner's are likely to return the highest profitability.
Almost certainly that'll be one of the newer Bitmain Antminer S21 series, depending on hash rate and type they're anywhere from around 3500-5500W each at hash rates of 200T-470T though getting one is like finding chickens teeth.
So you may have to think lower performance and older models, but realistically it hinges on how much power is continuously available.
I run a small rig 6TH/s from solar. Its on a timer and monitor system so it only runs when there's enough spare energy from the panels to meet the house needs and the extra for the mining rig. But it doesnt run 24/7
