My Journey into Bitcoin Mining: From Hobbyist to Business Owner

When I took my first step into the Web3 world, little did I know I would be jumping off right into the deep end. The specialized area that I found myself in turns out to be a quite complicated area, even for Web3. Despite the steep learning curve, I felt compelled to take the bull by its horn.

I've always been a lifelong learner—I went back to school for my Master's degree at 40, and my insatiable curiosity drives me to ask endless questions. My friends and colleagues have dubbed me "the question master," and honestly, I wear that title with pride.

What started as a bitcoin mining hobby became an all-out business venture within a year. I launched this site because I couldn't find a reliable roadmap for building generational wealth through bitcoin mining. Too many people who didn't truly understand the space inadvertently discouraged me with comments like "You need really cheap electricity to make it work" or "It used to be way more profitable."

To know if these claims hold water, you have to examine the entire ecosystem. That's exactly what I'm doing here—unpacking the intricate world of hosted mining so you can avoid the costly mistakes I made early on.

Since I started mining, countless friends and family members have reached out for guidance. This blog is my way of helping them—and people like you—navigate this complex but potentially rewarding space.

My number one rule? Trust your gut. If something feels too good to be true, it probably is. Avoid anyone who's opaque about their offerings, unresponsive, or can't explain their processes logically. Never stop asking questions.
