How do I break even on electricity without it being investment advice?

Break-even here is purely an arithmetic comparison, not a forecast. Work out your daily electricity cost: measured watts times hours divided by 1,000, times your effective rate. Then look at the MLRT your rig actually earned that day from your miner or pool dashboard, valued at the current MLRT price. If earnings exceed electricity cost, you are net positive on power that day; if not, you are subsidising the network. Both numbers change daily as difficulty, your hours, and the MLRT price move, so this is a snapshot, never a promise. Nothing here predicts future prices or earnings - it simply tells you whether today covered today's power.
