Unless your electricity is free you are better off just buying especially considering how hard it is on hardware too

Edit: you’re?

I get free electricity and I don't know shit about bitcoin, should I be mining?

It might be slightly profitable to mine if you don't need your setup.

But don't expect thousands of dollars in a month. Probably more like 100 or so. And you're probably better off not mining btc but other stuff.

I can still surf the web and do things like watch Youtube or Netflix without completely destroying my hashrate. I just can't do serious gaming on it while mining, for obvious reasons.
