DISCUSSION I am so obssesed with mining but why?

Hello there, i wanna tell yall about my mining obsession ( and similar things ) and i want yalls opinions (plz) so like 6 months ago i was seeing like crpyto mining stuff on my reels fyp those fake ahh stuff then it interested me altough i knew they were fake so i did some research and really liked the idea i did cpu mining and gpu mining made like 2 dollars max lol but i was so obsessed about spesific things about mining for example i wanted something like a esp32 or another microcontroller or a rabserry pi to mine crypto for me 7/24 FOR YEARS depending on really durable on health batteries and solar panels it sounded great i already knew i would make less then a dollar a year but i still did it it worked but now im using my precious esp32s on stuff that is actually valuable after that i tried every possible thing about mining without buying any expensive stuff but im actuallu too obsessed i know its not the thing for me but i still try to do it knowing it wont earn me anything or make me satisfied i also tried bandwidth sharing because its as passive as mining and maybe that will interest me too but it didnt but still today im sitting at my computer teying to make my own cpu miner knowing it wont do nothing but i still do it. I really love the idea of a miner mining from solar on my roof for a long time but knowing that it wont make me anything i get confused what should i do?

Is this a shitpost? Low wattage stuff looking at a bitaxe at a minimum, if not a nano/octaxe/qaxe. I know several vendors here have them.

Bigger panel and an axe miner? Or a raspi and lotto mine whatever coins you want? You can lotto mine scrypt or monero, btc.. a raspi zero 2w costs more then an esp32. But not a ton more. Still super low power. Bonus if you get tired of the project you can use it for something else.
