What started in the back of a cell phone repair store with a few GPUs turned into one of the largest hosted mining operations in the country. A lot changed. The standard did not. This is Simple Mining.

Every cycle someone asks what happens to Bitcoin if the biggest exchange goes under. We have already run this experiment, twice: Mt. Gox in 2014 and FTX in 2022. Bitcoin's protocol uptime through both: 100%. The exchange was never the asset. Hold your own keys.

Before you plug in a Bitcoin miner, read this. If you’re thinking about running an ASIC at home, don’t put it in a space you care about. It’s industrial equipment. It produces intense heat and needs stable power 24/7. In summer, it can slowly damage a garage, and you’ll likely blame the machine. Put your miner somewhere built for it, whether that’s with us or not.

People think Bitcoin mining is loud. With fans, screens and big claims. But that’s not what we see. The investors who come to us are usually quiet about it. They run businesses. They invest for the long term. They want to own a piece of the network. They also want paperwork their CPA can approve, including a clear depreciation schedule. And they don’t want to buy, run, or fix machines. Over 1,000 clients already host more than 40,000 machines with us. The loudest voices in mining are rarely the ones mining Bitcoin.

Every Bitcoin in existence was mined. Don't just buy Bitcoin. Mine it.

This is insane. The Story of Bitcoin Mining. One shotted with Opus 5.5:

Italy taxes Bitcoin gains at 33%, ETF gains at 26%, and direct holdings at 0.2% every year. If you live in Europe, holding Bitcoin keeps getting more expensive. In the US, the IRS wrote Section 179 to encourage businesses to buy equipment. And it doesn't care if that equipment mines Bitcoin. Section 179 plus Bonus Depreciation lets you deduct 100% of the hardware cost in the year you place it in service. Here's the play: • Buy $250,000 of S21 XP miners before December 31 • Deduct $250,000 from your 2026 taxable income • Own ASICs in Iowa that send Bitcoin to your wallet daily Congress built this rule to reward business investment, and mining hardware qualifies. Your CPA already applies it to trucks, forklifts, and servers every year. Many people pay the IRS first, then buy Bitcoin with what's left. But you don't have to. That tax bill can work for you. It can buy these S21 XP Hydro miners instead.
