I just realised I single-handedly could keep the entire bitcoin network running if literally everyone else was shut down.

Sure, hash rate would not be great but that’s irrelevant, the network will adjust its difficulty regardless.

It’s quite wild to think little old me could have such importance, I’m just a poor pleb.

It’s such a well designed system. Unbelievable how brilliant an engineering solution Bitcoin really is.

It's not that simple. To get to the point where a difficulty adjustment occurs, you have to mine X blocks at current difficulty. Your little miner would take years to reach that block height.
