I also like to share similar thought process back in April 2018. I mistakenly bought a Baikal Giant N+ miner for $1,662.41 from Ebay which can mine Monero or Bytecoin. After a week, I figured out that Monero is switching algorithm, mining profit for that CryptoNight collapse. I was smart enough to sell the miner for $500 and bought around 500 Steem.

The coincidence is that I assured myself that when Steem will be $3 piece again that I will recuperate my mistimed investment on that miner.

It is amazing how things can change beyond our wildest imagination ;)
