In depth CNBC report on mining, video + text.
The video portion is long, but quite interesting.
I thought this might interest you since you are actively mining.
I personally don’t like Bit coin because of the digital aspect. I think it would be too easy for a rogue hacker to break into your account and reduce whatever cash assets you might have to zero.
At least with paper money, if somebody wants to do that to you, they have to do it with everybody, so there’s a bit of inherent protection when dealing with cash.
Like a pyramid scheme, you had to get in early in order to make money. It’s too late now to get into bit mining and expect to make anything.
I fail to see why any legitimate business would be willing to accept the Bitcoin in exchange for goods or services.
