How the Wealthy Are Mining Bitcoin at Net-Zero Cost

"In this in-depth conversation on The Everyday Miner, I sit down with Michael Moffa of Terra Hosting, whose journey into crypto mining is anything but ordinary. Michael walks us through his transition from a practicing attorney to a key figure in the mining industry — and how one GPU sparked a passion that reshaped his career.
We explore the early days of home GPU mining, the learning curves, and the pivotal moments that pulled him deeper into the mining ecosystem. Michael then sheds light on his current role at Terra Hosting, offering a rare behind-the-scenes look at how the hosting industry actually works and what it takes to support miners at scale.
The conversation takes a fascinating turn as Michael breaks down how high-net-worth individuals can legitimately acquire ASIC miners and mine Bitcoin at a net-zero cost by strategically leveraging recent tax advantages — specifically The Big Beautiful Bill and Section 179 deductions. Drawing on his unique blend of legal and mining expertise, Michael explains how certain tax structures dramatically shift the risk-reward equation for those with capital.
Whether you're an everyday miner, a business owner, or simply curious about how the wealthy are entering the space, this episode delivers eye-opening insight into the intersection of law, tax strategy, and Bitcoin mining — and how these tools can be used to maximize mining profitability in 2025 and beyond."

Why The Mining Kiing Walked Away from Crypto Mining — From ASICs to AI Rigs

In this exclusive sit-down on The Everyday Miner, I’m joined by one of the most recognizable creators in the mining space — The Mining Kiing — for a deep, honest conversation about his journey through crypto mining and what ultimately led him to step away.
We dive into his origins in the mining world, how he built his brand, and the real highs and lows that came with scaling in an ever-changing industry. For the first time, he opens up about the pivotal behind-the-scenes moments that changed his outlook on mining — and why he no longer believes the future lies in ASICs or GPU mining.
Instead, the conversation shifts toward what he sees as the next evolution: AI rig rentals powered by RTX 4090s and 5090s. We break down why AI compute has caught his attention, how it compares to traditional mining, and what builders, miners, and tech enthusiasts should be paying attention to next.
This is a raw, reflective, and forward-looking episode that explores the evolution of the hobby, the business realities of mining, and what comes next when one chapter closes and another begins.
