Mining can definitely be profitable if you have the right setup! I've been mining for about a year now and the key is choosing efficient hardware. Recently upgraded to the bitmain antminer l7 and the difference is huge. This machine is specifically designed for Litecoin and Dogecoin mining which are pretty stable coins. What I love about it is the hash rate - it's incredibly powerful compared to older models I used. The energy efficiency is also better which matters a lot with electricity costs. Setup was straightforward too, had it running within an hour. If you're serious about getting into mining, having proper hardware like this makes all the difference between profit and loss
