Early on in many people's Bitcoin journeys, they dreamed of mining so that they could print their own money.

Until they discover that energy and equipment costs money and then they just go buy Bitcoin instead.

But much later, as they really learn about Bitcoin, they start to realize that mining is a critical part of the ecosystem and for the good of the Bitcoin they own, they start thinking about it again.

I think there will be a lot more OGs mining in the next decade.
