Shuttin em down.

In today’s video, I explain why I’m officially turning off my Kaspa miners, including my Bitmain KS5 Pros, due to declining profitability at my 8¢/kWh electric rate.

At current prices and network conditions, my KS5 Pros are either breaking even or losing money, and as someone running mining as a business, it no longer makes sense to keep them online. I walk through:

– Kaspa network hash rate trends
– Current Kaspa price action
– Profitability of KS5, KS5 Pro, KS5L, KS5M, and KS7 miners
– Why residential miners are getting squeezed out
– Whether it’s better to mine Kaspa or just buy the coin

I also discuss broader market conditions, Bitcoin cycles, altcoin performance, and why I’m shifting focus toward Scrypt mining (L9s) instead.

⚠️ This video is not financial advice — just my real-world experience as a medium-scale home miner.
