Hey everyone. I'm about to buy 10 Antminer S19 Pro for $63,500. Is this a wise choice?

That's a solid price for S19 Pro if it's 6350 each. Just make sure you trust your seller.

I'm buying brand new from a friend in China, he knows the vendor personally. They are legit units.

But ROI really hinges on Bitcoin's price and mining difficulty, right? If difficulty drops, it's still a smart move to hold those coins.

I'm curious how you got 2 months and 15 days break-even. That seems way off from my numbers.

Yeah that sounds off, right? He said each miner earns around $30 after costs.

He didn’t factor in the difficulty adjustments. That’s key for accurate ROI calculations.

Honestly, why not just buy 2 BTC instead? Cold storage is probably safer and more profitable.

But what if he buys at the wrong time? BTC could tank and stay low for ages.

Nah, it’s not just about BTC price. Mining vs buying BTC is different. Miners create BTC, that's the bet.

#14Oct 12, 2019, 02:12 PM What hashrate are you looking at? 100TH, 104TH, or is it in the low 90s?
