I don't know what the big deal is with mining crypto currency. The whole thing is a complete joke. You pay roughly $500 for a crypto currency mining computer, and it barely pays off ITSELF in a couple of years.
Even with a gtx 1080ti gpu, you still only get around $5 a day. And that graphics card ALONE is around $750. Mining is at an all-time low right now.
I am not just saying this because of what I've heard. I have had some experience with mining Siacoin, and just decided to stop after two hours when I only made about .5 siacoins (~.004USD)
Many would retort that with Genesis mining, you don't even have to own your own equipment. But with that, you still have no guarantee that you will get your returns off of what you payed for. You may even lose money! For all we know, the company could be failing and are just taking your money down with them.
Although many would also say that it is not about making money at the time of doing it, but it is about the fact that the value of the coins will rise. Well I have a better idea; JUST BUY THE COINS DIRECTLY AND NOT EXPENSIVE EQUIPMENT TO MINE THEM.
To make a long story short, you might want to just stick to investing in crypto currency directly by swapping out Fiat currencies for it. We all know that crypto currencies will rise and the day will come where it will become the standard currency.
By the way, if anyone has a better method for mining that actually can make a substantial proffit, please let me know!
