The precious metals embedded in Bitcoin mining chips—copper and gold traces—have become more valuable than an entire Bitcoin itself. That's a wild inversion nobody saw coming. It reveals how absurd mining economics have become as hardware costs spiral and BTC prices face pressure. When the raw materials inside your mining equipment are worth more than your actual mining rewards, you know the market's sending a brutal message about profitability.

The copper and gold in mining chips are actually more valuable than the coins. Now that's what you call irony.

Now it's really putting the cart before the horse—are the copper and gold inside the chips more valuable than the coins mined?

The copper-to-gold ratio in mining chips is more valuable than BTC, how desperate is that?

Copper and gold in mining chips are now more valuable than the coins themselves, which is truly outrageous. To put it simply, hardware costs are crushing profits, and it's high time to wake up.

Selling chips is not as good as selling copper, haha.
