Cryptocurrency mining worth it?

Solved by Phentos,
If you pay your own electric bill and live in an area that doesn't get insanely hot during the summer, then yes it is worth it.
If you do not pay your own electric bill, or you can't control your ambient temps, then don't. Mining is very energy-intensive and your GPU will be at 100% load constantly, pumping out a lot of heat.
A friend of mine recently got in trouble for mining ETH for about 20 hours per day a couple months ago while living at home with his parents rent-free. Their electric bill was $670 one month. His parents were pissed.
