You Can Still Get Bitcoin for $50K??? – 02 So What Is It?

Continuing from the last post, I don’t know if you follow crypto news closely, especially around halving events, but if you do, you’ve probably noticed that whenever people try to predict Bitcoin’s price, they love to reference miners’ production cost. The general idea is: Bitcoin is unlikely to fall below the cost of mining it. If it does, mining becomes unprofitable, miners shut down, and the whole ecosystem collapses. Bitcoin, as an asset class, would cease to exist. So far, history has mostly proven this theory right. When prices flirt with the cost floor, people tend to jump in—because even if it dips temporarily, it usually bounces back.

So, how much does it cost to mine one Bitcoin after the most recent halving? Around $50,000. But when the price was hovering between $80K and $100K, the common wisdom was: “Don’t expect it to drop back to 50K again. Anything between 80–100K is already a good deal.” Now it’s over 100K thanks to things like the ETF approval and long-term bearish outlook on the US dollar. People are saying the whole narrative has shifted—it’ll just keep going up.

Of course, I take all that with a grain of salt. I’ve never been the type to bet on something needing to go up. I prefer setups where you’re already winning on Day 1. If it goes up, great. If it stays flat or even dips a bit—I’m still fine. There’s enough margin of safety built in.

But here’s the thing: for someone like me—a lazy, non-technical beginner—it’s never been realistic to try mining. Even if someone tells you the general direction, every step is a headache. It’s just not sustainable unless you’re super hands-on. And let’s be honest, I bet a lot of people reading this are just like me—interested, but totally unqualified to DIY it.

Think about it. After all these years, with all the crypto buzz and hype, have you ever met someone who’s actually mining Bitcoin themselves? Most people are doing quick flips, trading, farming airdrops, or arbitrage—low-barrier stuff. The mythical “real miner” is always some guy you hear about second-hand, mining from some remote mountain village no one can find on a map.

Until—by pure luck—I came across a full-service mining farm. That’s right. I became a micro miner, and started mining Bitcoin at around $50K each 😂

So, what do I mean by full service? I mean the kind of setup where even a lazy newbie like me can mine 😂 They handle everything—from sourcing the machines, installation, hosting, electricity, even repairs and upgrades. It gets even better: once we got chatting, they even helped me set up my pool and cold wallet in a one-click kind of way 😂

My only “homework” was to follow their advice and engrave my recovery phrase on a metal tag, just in case. I still haven’t got around to do even just that lol

The founder’s name is B. I told him, “This whole service is literally exactly what I’ve been looking for all these years.” I hadn’t even finished saying that when he jumped right in—turns out we’re kindred spirits. He’d been burned just like I had, got fed up, and decided to build the solution himself 😂

I’ll share more of the juicy details in the next part—stay tuned!
