Bitcoin Mining is extremely important, and we're all aware of that especially now with the recent Segwit/BIP91 hardfork/update excitement coming up. A lot of people have freaked out and the price of BTC obviously has reflected that. But it makes you think, why are the miners so important? Are they rich? What about the early first miners? It seems like a lot of people want to go into mining immediately but don't even realize what they're fully getting themselves into.
▶▶▶ The long answer, yes (but I won't write a paper here lol) so in short it's pretty much only for those who are fine with making a couple bucks. You definitely won't get rich and it's tricky
► JUST SUBSCRIBE ALREADY DARN IT lol
I wish Bitcoin mining actually looked as cool as it sounds ;)

No kidding! Haha here are my first FPGA's that were mining .5 BTC daily in 2013. 21GH/s and $800 a board. Crazy how much I spent on that stuff. I doubt I will ever break even because I had to pay for power with the money I earned back when BTC was only $50-$100 a coin. I used them to mine scrypt after BTC was no longer profitable and are currently mining an altcoin called Blakecoin. You can see some of the the fans have seized up over time and the cheap laptop I bought on Craigslist to power them is fused to the shelf because its rubber feet melted in my 100F garage.

@avilsd I'm in that same boat, I first learned of the darknet when wired had the piece about the Silkroad in I think 2013 is when they wrote that. I was using Linux, downloaded Tor and check it all out. It's not a place I spent much time. But I like the idea of a borderless market place outside the hand of the government. The point that I'm taking way to long to get to, is that i think to many people you have become the Wall-Street Jounal of the deep web.

Yes looking at the amount of heat bitcoin mining generates, it's certainly not so cool! I think, these days, it's better to do trading and/or investing in cryptocurrencies than mining.

@avilsd I know you said, you were going to make a more detailed OFFSEC video, Back when Ross was taken down, Some linux/bsd Dev were looking to make a linux Distro that was on live thumb drive you could tie to your arm and if anyone grabbed your laptop all you had to do is pull the thumbdrive and it would delete and encrypt everything. i know you can kind of do that will tails but they would have everything loaded into ram. Just something you might want to look into, im not sure if they ever finished it.

It depends on how much Bitcoin goes up I suppose. I guess, it's depends on how much faith you have in Bitcoin going up to make the amount you are mining worth it.

In truth, most mining operations right now make little to no money straight off the currency. A lot of miners I know personally are mining at a loss with future price increases (profits) in the future in mind. IMO, mining is as much of an investment as buying and holding.

Looking forward to the topics Genesis and altcoin mining. If my graphics card wouldn't need a bunch of other hardware to operate it, my Ethereum miner would be profitable :)
I'm also interested on your opinion on Cryp Trade Capital and Prism.

My cousin and I recently started mining bitcoin. Along with some other coins as well.
We expect to break even (all costs and utilities considered within a year).
This is not a get rich quick scheme. This is entirely a side gig and should never be treated as anything more, unless you are one of the lucky few who have mining farms right now...
