As investors pursue digital currency and blockchain, "mining" has gradually become a popular investment method. This process is carried out by means of mining equipment (ASIC miners, graphics card miners, etc.) that consume electricity to run the miners and mining programs.

Among them, "mining equipment" is often referred to as a miner. Today I will show you what cryptocurrency should be mined in 2022? What new miners are worth buying?

Which crypto should I mine in 2022?

When choosing a cryptocurrency, the most important factor to consider is profitability. However, some mining investors may misunderstand this indicator: it is not only determined by the price of the coin, but also takes into account the long-term development trend of the cryptocurrency.

Mining is a long-term investment, and due to the high volatility of the cryptocurrency market, only cryptocurrencies with long-term profitability are worth participating in mining.

•BTC 

If you are looking for the best cryptocurrency investments in 2022, then BTC is one of the best options you should be looking for.

As the earliest cryptocurrency, the value of BTC has been recognized by a considerable number of cryptocurrency enthusiasts in the long-term development process. It is currently the cryptocurrency with the largest market value in the world and the first choice for investing in cryptocurrency mining. 

•ETH 

ETH’s market cap is second only to BTC, even though ETH’s price is much lower than BTC in terms of price. But from the mining point of view, since 2022, ETH mining revenue has exceeded BTC.

For investors who want to get involved in crypto mining, the only thing to worry about investing in ETH mining is that ETH mining may not be sustainable due to the imminent arrival of ETH 2.0.

•LTC 

LTC is an improved digital currency inspired by BTC, designed and programmed by a programmer who used to work at Google. What's special is that when you mine Litecoin, you can earn Dogecoin rewards at the same time if you set it up properly.

What is the most profitable new miner?

The new miner Antminer S19 XP has a computing power of 140T, power consumption of 21.5W/T, and the power consumption of the whole machine is about 3000W. Compared with the Antminer S19Pro 110T, the power consumption is lower and the performance is more stable.

In terms of cost, the price of ASIC miners has dropped dramatically over the past few months. Prices for top and mid-tier ASIC miners reportedly plunged 70% from their all-time highs of $10,000 to $18,000.
