Edit: So what I'm saying is that buying a shit ton of overpriced GPUs is the way to do it, providing you're getting enough horsepower to get a quick return on your money. Which, at this point, highly unlikely.
For example, my GTX 1070 can make about 5 dollars per day, after electricity costs are accounted for. At that rate, I'm looking at nearly 180 days to start making a profit, by that time though, crypto could have changed from proof of work to proof of stake
Second edit: That 5 dollars per day is also based on my card being run for 24 hours per day, rendering it useless for my intended purpose, which is gaming

Proof of work to proof of stake?
