[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"Look out for miners"? They failed to make a switch to Bitcoin mining. Too busy living under a rock. Time to invest was when money was flowing. Why would they thing it was going to last forever?
Where I'm from, the poor are not too sharp and they know it. They don't blame it on someone else. They have opportunities just like the white man singing. He, however, can't see the opportunities even now. Too busy being pissed.

What an odd statement. No value is produced by bitcoin mining. It expends massive quantities of energy and produces nothing in the end but solved algorithms. 
 By contrast, miners actually produce the fossil energy that makes bitcoin mining possible-- as well as providing the energy that powers our homes, schools, factories, etc. Either you know this and you're being cheeky, which I hope, or-- more likely-- you don't understand what you're saying.

I did bitcoin mining from 2008-2014.  In the early days there was some worthwhile return but now it's no longer particularly viable.  Unless you have some kind of free source of energy or compute cycles (and most of that is illicit), it typically costs more to power a bitcoin miner than whatever bitcoin return you will get out of it.[/quote]
