Is mining ETH or BTC even worth it anymore in the US ?
I have about 3k thinking of investing into a mining rig.

I wouldn't mine ETH or BTC.
I would mine XMR or some other "smaller" coin.

Personally I wouldn't do. Cryptocurrency is like the wind, you never know which way it's going to go.

Unless you have a large capital and have secured long term space to house your mining equipment with cheap electricity it's not that worth it.

depends on what kind of return you are looking for. Also, the cost of electricity in your state may vary.
mine is 0.08 kwh so I will probably only make $1.5 a day with my 1070 ti

Fortunately, you don't have to spend very much if you just want to try mining out.  Buy an Antminer S9 for $40 and run it long enough to see if you can stand the noise.

Thanks guys yeah guess it's just not worth it.
Guess I'll just buy more BTC and just hold it instead of mining.
At first I thought I could make $10-20 a day but nvr it's way lower.
