Do people still mine crypto currency these days? Truth be told i feel its not worth it, cause the amount you would use in buying the equipment is pretty much compared to what you would mine.

Mining cryptocurrency is no more lucrative and profitable. The high cost of energy and mining machines will eat deep into the profit. Secondly, the price of bitcoin is very low now, therefore it is absolutely difficult to make profit from mining.

One of the biggest drawbacks is the cost of electricity. Mining requires a lot of energy and that can really add up especially if youre mining 24/7. Another con is the noise and heat generated by the mining equipment. It can be quite loud and can get hot which can be a real problem, especially if you're mining in a residential area.

Yeah apart from damaging one's phone you need a whole lot of energy to be able to mine perfectly

According to what I have heard from people who are now, mining for retail miners in most countries is not being very profitable since the price of most coins does not cover the costs, I think the only ones who are benefiting from mining now are those with enough machinery which probably already have amortized as well

You are right, when the price of Bitcoin is below $16k, many players stop mining crypto, even though they have joined a mining pool, according to them they cannot make a profit, especially electricity expenses.

When the price of Bitcoin was 16k, I want to believe that the mining difficulty will be reduced and it's an opportunity to make more money.

It is true that when the price of Bitcoin is lower the difficulty in mining should be reduced accordingly.
