Yeah mining is great way to learn crypto, but depreciation is terrible and getting worse day by day. Started off learning with mining, turned my first $70 of litecoin into half a bitcoin in 2weeks trading. Sold rig, took hit on depreciation and never looked back. I do panic mine using betarigs website rofl, but 4 out of 5 times i should have bought at market price or wait for market to settle down instead of renting.
