After following BTC since around the time of the silk road website and the Mt. Gox hack I finally decided I would acquire crypto.

Being in the business of refurbishing/reselling/recycling electronics I preferred buying hardware over buying the coin because I knew I could always just build gaming PCs and workstations.

Between my wife and I plus 2 kids the gov gave us thousands in unneeded stimulus checks.

Realizing I needed to spend the funny money on some kind of "asset" I decided to get into GPU mining.

The wife wasnt super happy but I hung the new-used SUV I just bought her over her head and bought GPUs.

Then I sold my F-350 (as seen in 520's scrap finds) and bought more GPUs.

About 18k in GPUs,mobo, psu etc with 2k set aside for running costs.

With family and friends asking me all about my new venture I decided to sell 49% of my business and raised another $20k.


I'm a little more than 3/4 of the way to a $40k ROI...im talking USD in pocket. I made some really good sells when the market was way up.



Considering all my 30 series RTX cards are worth something no matter what crypto does I'd say its been a success already even though i haven't earned every cent back yet.

So while everyone who has bought crypto in the last year is in the red, I'm just sitting here spending $220 on power and earning $800-900 monthly knowing it could halve a couple more times and I'd still be making money.
