The headline isn’t accurate as usual, but isn’t completely wrong either. We’re at a point where it’s no longer profitable for individual minors, even if we ignore externalities like the cost we’re collectively paying due to mining pollution and carbon emissions.

Mining is require increasing amount of energy and resources as time pass, so unless there’s a radical change in bitcoin’s algorithm or unless energy becomes free, we should expect mining to get non-profitable in more and more situations.
