Knowing what I know now, what would I tell someone just getting started today? That's the question I sat down with completely unscripted for this episode of The Everyday Miner Podcast — no notes, no script, just me talking through the four things I wish someone had told me before I ever got into mining.
I walk through the exact order I'd do things if I were starting from zero today: setting up a proper crypto wallet before anything else, cutting my teeth on a cheap solo miner before spending any real money, and why — if I had it to do over — I'd skip home mining setups entirely and go straight to hosting. I also share a habit around taking profits that I didn't build early enough, and how that cost me watching coins I mined lose significant value over time.
This one's personal. It's the conversation I wish someone had with me back when I was just starting out, mistakes and all. Whether you're brand new to mining or you've been doing this for years, I think there's something in here that'll hit close to home. Let me know in the comments which one of these four resonates most with you and your own mining journey.
