Based on today's BTC price, I calculated the daily earnings of mining rigs with different power consumption ratios, and the difference is quite obvious.

The new generation of machines with an energy consumption ratio below 19 J/TH can earn $14.11 a day; mid-range models in the range of 19 to 25 earn $11.23 a day; if you use old equipment in the range of 25 to 38, it will only leave you with a little over $3 a day.

The last machine is basically struggling at the breakeven line; if electricity costs rise slightly or the coin price drops a bit, it will have to shut down. The entire mining industry is like this now—pressure from equipment iteration and energy costs have squeezed profit margins to the extreme; if you don't upgrade your hardware, you can expect to be eliminated.

This is the end, the old Mining Rig has no way out.

actually, the efficiency cliff here is statistically significant—we're talking about a 78% margin compression from tier one to tier three. theoretically speaking, anyone still hodling those 25-38 J/TH dinosaurs is just operating a heating device at this point, not a miner. the math doesn't even pretend to work anymore.
