I mean, if it's a cyclical fad, it's still a fad. It falls and gains based on whimsy, more or less. Horrible currency to do... anything with in all honesty.
Its pretty good for making more real money
For your average person with a mining rig, factoring in power costs, I think the usual net was like $6~10 a month in profit. The more money you have, the more money you make with Bitcoin, so... no, not really. Then, there's the idiots ruining their credit to take out loans/maxing out credit cards to stockpile GPUs to mine as though it'll help them not be in debt in any reasonable amount of time.
I can make 10 dollars a day mowing a lawn every day with less overhead cost if I really wanted to.
Lol Not with mining I turned 1k into 50k last year just holding ---
