An investor who has the capability to set up an industrial workshop may prefer to buy a miner instead. The answer lies in the changing economic calculations of investors, where production faces a series of risks before reaching the sales stage. Power outages and gas restrictions, difficulties in securing raw materials, lack of working capital, and market sales ambiguity have made it challenging to predict costs and revenues for industrial enterprises. In such circumstances, the investor evaluates not only potential profits but also the sustainability of operations and the time for return on investment. Although cryptocurrency mining is also not immune to price fluctuations, energy costs, and technological changes, its different cost and revenue structure can alter investors' calculations. However, electricity tariffs and operational restrictions have posed economic challenges even for legal mining. As a result, the accumulation of production risks and energy pricing policies may increase the relative attractiveness of cryptocurrency mining compared to industrial investment.
Competition Between Cryptocurrency Mining and Production
Investors in Iran are increasingly considering cryptocurrency mining over traditional industrial production due to various economic risks associated with the latter. Factors like power outages, raw material shortages, and market uncertainties make industrial investment less appealing. This shift highlights a growing trend towards alternative investments amid economic challenges.
