Allow me to make a very bold statement
Bitcoin mining isn't going to work for any small-scale miner anymore, long gone are the days when you could grab a few miners and make a profit at home, mining isn't even profitable at large scale anymore, you need to be mega large to compete, or be in a very special case where you don't have to pay for electricity, aside from that -- everyone will lose money if you got money to invest in mining, it would be best if you buy the coin and HODL instead, in fact, Hodling outperformed mining even when mining at home was a thing, there were only a few cases of which mining outperformed Hodling, and since things have become what they are now, Holding will most certainly beat mining.
Anything buying mining gear after reading this post, please post your status so we can review them in 3 years and see what would have been the result.
Why do you think that mining is not profitable?
In my country there are places where electricity costs 2 cents, another miner's electricity costs $0.002.
