Those who are debating whether bitcoin (bch) is a bubble, Ponzi or one of the other epithets flung by traditional finance luminaries, need to put those debates aside for a moment and look at numbers. The most powerful ASIC out there, Antminer 9S, costs $2,320 a piece. If you invest $7k in ASIC miners today, and the price of electricity in your area is 12¢/kWh (US average), then you will be earning about 0.75 BCH ($1100) per month. In 1 year you will have earned about 9 coins which are worth $13.5k (around 70% net profit). This doesn’t take into account price volatility and presumes that coins will be sold on the spot. However, if the miner decides to accumulate bitcoin (bch) instead then its profit is going to abundantly exceed the $13.5k figure.
