It isn't at all relevant or profitable these days. Unless you own a huge server farm with massive computing power, mining will cost you more than it will earn you (by a lot).

look it's possible to make money in West Virginia if none of your antminers break. but the margins are not great and if some of them break before they pay for themselves your fucked. just stay out of mining bitcoin unless you have some serious capital.

if you really want to make money, buy the $1700 antminer s9s on alibaba and sell them for $2,000-$2,500 here in usa. assuming they actually ship to you.

It's like trading stocks.
Except you're dealing with smaller amounts of money and a lot more volatility.
