Running a bitaxe at 1.2 th is the least you can do as a bitcoiner. It costs you ~ 2 to 5 usd per month electricity and 100 to 200 usd upfront and helps decentralize mining and maybe you win one block and are rewarded

Then the question is do you go bigger and run a 40th avalon that costs 1200 usd and 100 usd elec per month ? Probably if you can you should !
