Pro:

  • a major problem for miners is heat dissipation

  • the chips commodify more every year

Con:

  • retail energy costs more than wholesale energy

  • heat pumps are more cost effective in most cases

Heat pumps are more efficient, yes, but people still use space heaters to heat small areas. I can't pick up and move a heat pump around my home lol. Heating a small area a few more degrees is going to be cheaper than heating the whole house more a few more degrees (even with a heat pump).

The key is to live in an apartment and then install aluminum heat fins on every shared wall. Bonus points looks a little like a medieval torture chamber, but the real win is heating bill.
