Exactly. You don't buy computers to mine Monero with. You buy a computer to play Quake or Call of Duty or something like that. And when you're not using it for that purpose, you mine Monero with it. The computer used to mine Monero is the computer you already have.

But, you'd still lose money because it'll cost you more to mine it, than to buy it.
Doesn't matter if your computer is sitting idle. You're literally just giving money to multi-national corporations that pay no taxes and are happy to kill you.
Why are you supporting multi-national corporations? Why are you telling people to give money to them rather than buying Monero?
I don't understand your motivation here? Do you want more people to buy Monero, or give their money to corporations, because that's all you're doing is putting money in their pockets and short changing Monero users.
It's like, you're pretending to support Monero or Crypto, but what you're really doing is just telling people to buy overpriced electricity rather than Monero.
You're 'advice' is literally bad for Monero but ensuring that Monero is not economically viable.
I think you're a Psyop shill account that's actually trying to harm Monero.
Or, just learn some maths, quantitative methods and some basic economics and stop giving people bad advice.
Well, somebody needs to secure the network, so there needs to be at least some people mining it. But yes, you are definitely right. It is more efficient just to buy the Monero instead. I mine a little bit myself, knowing that I'm not going to profit off of it, but just contributing my hash rate to the security of the network. But most of my monero, I purchase. Eventually, I would like to see a world where you could just get paid for your work in Monero and it was a normal thing instead of having to purchase it on an exchange and deal with capital controls, fiat, shit coins. You know, I don't think I have ever been called a psyop before. That's a new one for me. I generally see myself as the most anti-psyop person you will probably ever meet. LOL. My friends all think I'm into like conspiracy theories and shit because I always say the government is out to hurt people. I am also highly interested in personal privacy and people look at me like I'm nuts.
Well, you're not helping the network, you're hurting it. Why don't you do some actual research, learn some basic economics and how the modern monetary theory actually works.
Because all you're demonstrating is a complete lack of education and understanding of the systems you say you're working against, as you commit your time, equipment, money to working for them because you have no clue what you are doing.
You're literally working for, and enriching the very corporations you say you hate. And worst still, is you're trying to convince others to do the same and give their money to greedy corporations.
How is any of that helping anyone other than corporations? You've fallen for corporate propaganda and you are feeding the beast.
So, you're either ignorant, or a Psyop?
Ignorance can be fixed by a vist to your local library. Start with Adam Smith's book The Wealth of Nations.
If you're going to fight against a system, you absolutely must first learn in extreme detail, how that system works.
