I think I've been a terrible GPU miner. After more than 8 years in crypto mining, I've realized I missed some of the biggest opportunities in GPU mining history. From Kaspa to Pearl, and countless other speculative coins, I often chose profitability over speculation—and in hindsight, that decision may have cost me tens of thousands of dollars. In this video I reflect on: ✅ Pearl GPU mining ✅ Kaspa early mining ✅ Spec mining strategies ✅ RTX 3070 vs CMP 170HX ✅ CMP 210 GPUs ✅ BC160 GPUs ✅ Why tensor cores changed GPU mining ✅ AI vs crypto mining ✅ Opportunity cost ✅ Lessons learned after years of mining This isn't financial advice—just my honest experience after thousands of GPUs, ASIC miners, and years of building one of YouTube's largest crypto mining channels. Sometimes the biggest lesson isn't the hardware... It's the opportunities you never took. 👇 Have you ever hit a huge spec mining win? What coin made you the most money?

I finally pulled the trigger and bought eight NVIDIA Tesla V100 16GB GPUs to build another AI server for Vast.ai. Instead of spending thousands more on brand-new RTX 5060 Ti GPUs, I decided to invest in used enterprise Ai hardware and see if these legendary Volta GPUs can still compete in 2026. In this video I explain why I chose the Tesla V100, compare it against newer consumer GPUs, discuss AI server profitability, rental income on Vast.ai, GPU hosting, ROI expectations, and my plan to build a 10-GPU enterprise AI server. Can these 8-year-old GPUs still earn money with AI inference, LLMs and enterprise workloads? We'll find out. 👇 What would YOU have bought? • Tesla V100 • RTX 5060 Ti • RTX 4090 • RTX 5090 Leave your thoughts below!

I bought THREE MORE Nerd Octaxe Hydro Rev 3.1 Bitcoin solo miners, bringing my total to FOUR. Was it because they're the most profitable? Nope. Was it because they're the most efficient? Definitely not. I bought them because I genuinely love how they look. Between the RGB lighting, infinity mirrors, LCD display, hydro cooling, and surprisingly quiet operation, these have become my favorite conversation-piece Bitcoin miners. In this video I compare the Octaxe Hydro to the Avalon Q, discuss power consumption, efficiency, summer home mining, solo mining to my Umbrel node, and why I think low-power Bitcoin miners still have a place in 2026—even if they're not the best ROI. I also discuss: ✅ Home Bitcoin mining in 2026 ✅ Solo Bitcoin mining ✅ Umbrel + Public Pool ✅ Nerd Octaxe Hydro Rev 3.1 ✅ Power usage ✅ Heat output ✅ BM1370 ASIC chips ✅ Hydro cooling ✅ Mean Well power supplies ✅ HP Platinum server PSU testing ✅ Crypto Machine Shop breakout board ✅ Bitcoin mining aesthetics (yes, really!)

The AI compute market has changed dramatically over the past few months. In this video, I discuss the current state of GPU rentals on Vast.ai, SimplePod, and Salad, along with how Pearl mining impacted occupancy rates across the industry. We take a look at real GPU rental statistics, occupancy rates, verified vs unverified hosts, RTX 5090 demand, AI workloads, storage requirements, internet requirements, and whether building new GPU servers still makes financial sense in 2026. Topics covered: • Vast.ai occupancy rates • SimplePod utilization • Salad demand trends • RTX 5090 rental profitability • Pearl mining impact on GPU rentals • Verified vs unverified hosts • Fiber internet and static IP discussion • AI compute market outlook • GPU server infrastructure costs • Future AI rental opportunities A huge thank you to Terra Compute for sponsoring today's video.

This incredible solo mining win earned the miner the entire 3.1382 BTC block reward, worth over $200,000 USD at the time of the block. This is exactly why so many home Bitcoin miners love solo mining. Every hash has a chance, no matter how small, and today a tiny open-source ASIC proved it once again. In this video we'll cover: ⚡ The Bitaxe 601 hardware ⛏️ The winning Bitcoin block details 📈 Just how unlikely this block hit was 🏠 Why home Bitcoin mining still matters 🌐 How Public Pool enables decentralized solo mining 💡 What this means for the future of open-source Bitcoin mining Congratulations to the lucky miner! 🎉 Stories like this continue to inspire the Bitcoin community and highlight the importance of decentralization. 👇 Have you ever solo mined Bitcoin?

After years of mining Ethereum, Ravencoin, Kaspa, and dozens of GPU coins, I've finally decided it's time to sell my AMD GPUs. In this video I test every RX 6700 XT before listing them for sale while talking about why I believe AMD GPU mining has reached the end of the road. I also discuss: ✅ Why NVIDIA GPUs continue to dominate crypto mining ✅ The impact of Ethereum's Merge ✅ Pearl mining and why it wasn't enough ✅ Kapow coins and future GPU mining ✅ AI workloads vs crypto mining ✅ Why gamers may still want AMD GPUs ✅ Troubleshooting GPUs with FurMark ✅ My plans for the future of my mining farm Is AMD mining really dead... or could another GPU mining boom happen? 👇 Let me know what you think in the comments. 🎁 Giveaway in this video!

Bitcoin mining profitability is falling, Litecoin mining is slowing, and major mining companies are selling Bitcoin to fund AI infrastructure. In this video I break down why Bitcoin mining, GPU mining, ASIC mining and crypto mining have become so difficult in 2026, why Google Trends shows interest collapsing, and why AI data centers are becoming the next major investment for mining companies. We also look at Bitcoin hashrate, Litecoin hashrate, ASIC profitability, AI infrastructure spending, and whether buying Bitcoin may now make more sense than buying another ASIC miner. Topics Covered: ✅ Bitcoin Mining ✅ Crypto Mining ✅ ASIC Miners ✅ Bitcoin Hashrate ✅ Litecoin Mining ✅ AI Data Centers ✅ GPU Servers ✅ Google Trends ✅ Mining Profitability ✅ Mining ROI ✅ Bitdeer ✅ Riot Platforms ✅ Core Scientific ✅ AI vs Bitcoin Mining 👇 What do YOU think?
