🪙 How to mine Bitcoin from home in 2025
The price of BTC has broken $100k, institutional investors are coming in droves, and mining has become the number one topic again. Want to mine from home? Here are 4 ways — from amateur to professional.
1️⃣ Lottery mining — cheap and exciting
A couple of USB devices like Bitaxe HEX or GekkoScience R909 provide 1–3 TH/s. The chance of finding a block is like winning the lottery, but this has happened in 2024. Income ≠ goal, interest and challenge — yes.
"This is closer to digital gameplay than to business."
2️⃣ ASIC mining — expensive, but serious
Antminer S21 Hydro at 400 TH/s costs ~$6,500. One block — >3 BTC. The probability of finding one is 1 in 8.6 billion per day. A true solo mode for those who want everything at once (and can bear losses).
3️⃣ Pool mining — stability and predictability
Connect to ViaBTC, Foundry, or F2Pool. They pay for hash rate, even if a block is not found. The best way for home mining with ASIC. Income is small, but stable.
4️⃣ Cloud mining — minimal effort, maximum risks
You rent power from NiceHash or BitDeer. No noise, dust, or wires. But with a bunch of intermediaries and fees. Most often — unprofitable. It only works under ideal conditions and low BTC price.#CryptoAdoption $BTC
