He started mining bitcoin a month or so and so far the 60 is what he has made, I wonder how much it has cost me in electricity

LOL Probably more than he's made. There are more efficient coins to mine that actually pay out better than BTC - even with the BTC price factored in.

There's also a really neat miner that will mine the most beneficial coins depending on the current market.

Mining coins is a ton of energy and really beats on your hardware.

I think he has a GPU that was on back order for nearly a year that finally arrived last month. I don't know if he is mining any other digital currency or not, I should tell him to diversify and get some of all of the good ones

Etherium is good - the last time I paid any attention to it.

When BTC was new, I mined 24 of 'em. I forgot all about it and replaced the computer. Fortunately, I still had the drive. As I said, I'd forgotten that I'd even mined them. The price hit like $600 and I decided to dig the drive out and recover my wallet. I didn't want to deal with the taxes on them, so I donated them to EFF. By the time I donated them, the price had dropped to like $400 each.

The Internet tells me that BTC is currently worth $49,879.42...

I gave 24 of them away.
