Remember, mining has changed. ITs more centralized.. Did one person or one machine find those four blocks. i guess its hard to say anymore.. people that mine usually have tens or hundred of terabytes of power.. Soon, you will need hundreds of petahashes to find a block, lol... I have mixed feelings when bitcoin price took off. It made me a tidy sum, yet it made it so mining wasn't profitable for me. So, i think I probably lost money. it brought rich people out of the wood work to mine that would have never mined had bitcoin stayed at the 10 to 15 dollar level. too many cooks in the kitchen... When I was doing the math to figure out if spending 30k on a mining rig was worth it back in the day, the most I thought bitcoin could go up in the 4 years that i did the math was about 50 dollars a coin and I thought it would stay sub 20 dolllars for years. so, I was way off, lol..
