But unless you live somewhere with very cheap electricity, is it actually worth mining? At least where I live electricity is too high to justify mining even Monero.

Man... Financially, most likely it doesn't.

But when you factor the "just leave it running" factor plus "I'm creating and sharing value without no one knowing about" points, IMHO, it becames really attractive.

Also, I found plain messy to have to buy BTC to then exchange by Monero... I'm a "Simple is Always Better" type of person and because my background I find it easier to just turn on some hardware, snap a Linux distro and leave the thing running you know?

Yes, it is an attractive idea! I bet it feels good to support the network. And if it's set and forget then why not ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿปโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿ˜

Perfectly said!

Another point besides privacy that I REALLY LIKE on Monero is the ASIC mining resistance.

Lot's of folks (me included) just don't have $$$ to buy and run ASIC to mine Bitcoin BUT I do have access to cheap CPU and GPUs what allows me to mine some Monero instead buying it.

Exactly what i feel too. Bitcoin got taken over by a lot of "number go up" people who dont get that without privacy, you can not have freedom in a world where governments want to control everything.
