If you buy bitcoin, you spend fiat, and you get bitcoin. If you mine bitcoin, you have to spend the fiat upfront to buy the equipment, then you mine bitcoin over a period of time. You spend fiat either way. The upside is that the bitcoin from mining is completely non-KYC, which is what you want. Have you done any cost analysis? What are the numbers?

Unless you have to register your mining.
I'm dipping my toes in the water, first off. I'm not going to sell a kidney to buy mining hardware, then pay the excessive power bill that it racks up, just to get myself $50 of Bitcoin. It's just not worth it for me.
If I had gotten into this space earlier, it might have been a consideration but the sheer amount of money I'd have to invest in order to have a fighting chance at gaining any rewards from a mining system really wouldn't justify the cost for me, especially not at this point in my life. Right now, I have a lot more important things to worry about than desperately trying to find a way to try something I'm not convinced I'll go deep into.
