Home mining BTC is a pursuit driven primarily by enthusiasm and hope rather than probable economic returns. Even though I have 'free' solar electricity I am unlikely to ever see a real net return on the cost of investment in home miners...certainly relative to simply buying more sats. I would suggest territory ownership on Stacker News is much the same in nature. Driven by enthusiasm and hope, rather than cold hard rational expectations on likely economic return. Neither can be said to be rewarding investments in terms of profitability thus far - they are both almost always loss making investments, though may be a lot of fun otherwise.
