I'm not referring to normal users that are trying to generate ROI. When your actual cost is $0, even GPU mining Monero or shit coins is cash flow positive and relative low risk.

A "few dollars a day" is good money for people in some parts of the world.

I didn’t discount what you said at all. I just clarified that mining is less of a concern these days. It isn’t even a few dollars a day at this point, it is pennies.

Monero is far more efficient to mine with CPUs, not GPUs.

Easy to mitigate with credit card signup and individual approval.

Go try to get an account with CoreWeave and you’ll see what I mean.
