They usually give up due to the cost and rigor of running ASIC miners, regulatory uncertainty, and the lack of technical expertise. Hypothetically, if one overcomes the above challenges, they could enjoy advantages such as full autonomy over their operations and diversification of their crypto investment via physical hardware instead of directly purchasing Bitcoin,…
