I'm starting to think about mining as a way to "earn interest" on the btc I hold, with a long term view. Basically, I would use the btc I currently have to buy the asics, while continuing to stack sats with the fiat I earn form working. Thing is, I'm not too confident about the immediate future when it comes to the price of energy and the mining difficulty so I haven't pulled the trigger yet. Besides, when you host with Compass you sign a 3 year hosting contract. I'll probably reassess once all the eth miners have stop migrating to btc mining and cause the mining difficulty to go parabolic :)
