Welcome to the Bitcoin Mining Simulator
An Interactive, Realistic Simulation of Bitcoin Mining Economics
Your Mission
Build and manage a profitable Bitcoin mining operation over a simulated 5-year period—without risking any real capital.
In this simulator, you’ll experience the real-world challenges, tradeoffs, and rewards of mining—from choosing hardware and selecting a facility to reacting to market crashes and navigating halving events.
What You’re About to Experience
Start with Strategic Decisions
You’ll begin your journey by setting up your mining operation:
- Choose your starting capital ($100K to $10M)
- Pick a location—like Iceland, Texas, or Kazakhstan—with varying electricity costs, setup expenses, and climate effects
- Select your mining hardware and infrastructure
- Choose a Bitcoin market model: Bullish, Bearish, Volatile, or Static
Run Your Operation
Once your operation is set up, you will:
- Monitor Bitcoin mined, hardware condition, electricity usage, and profitability
- Make decisions on hardware maintenance, upgrades, or replacements
- React to unexpected events—like hardware failures, market crashes, or regulatory changes
- Sell or hold your Bitcoin based on timing and strategy
Simulate Real Market Conditions
Throughout your simulation, you will navigate real-world market variables such as:
- Bitcoin halving events
- Increasing network difficulty
- Price volatility and market cycles
- Operational ROI and hardware depreciation
Simulation Details
- Simulated Duration: 5 years (1,825 days)
- Real-Time Duration: Approx. 120 minutes (with pause and speed controls)
- Goal: Build a resilient and profitable mining operation while avoiding bankruptcy
Bonus: Mining Pool Simulator
In addition to the full mining operation simulation, you’ll also access a bonus tool focused on:
- Mining pool strategy (PPS, PPLNS, SOLO)
- Luck, payout frequency, and event impacts
- Making strategic decisions in pool-based environments
