So i have been reading and researching on cryptocurrencies, how they work, their exchanges and mining them. I recently set up a cloud mining account with Genesis Mining and bought a few Hashpower to mine Bitcoins and Ethereum. I will be giving day to day updates on my earnings and whether or not it's something you should try.
You can mine Bitcoins yourself, but it will require you to invest a lot of money into the hardware and your power cost will definitely go up. You will need specific GPU's, yeah that's right, the kind you actually buy for your playing high-end games and a mining software. A few clicks here and there setting it up, and you are good to go.
If you can't afford that, then cloud mining is the best option as you can invest just a little money and start earning right away. I will be covering step by step to get it all worked out. However if you have a Genesis mining account already you can use code "vO0U1s" to get 3% off your purchases on Genesis Mining.
