So you are telling me that a $65 investment that may yield me hundreds of dollars is a bad? Now I am assuming that the above figures won't hold up and I won't actually get the number I cited, But even at $200, that is over a 300% return.
*What if I don't have a good graphics card? I can guarantee it will be more then the $65 I invested. Will I need another dedicated machine? That would be more costs. I have seen videos on people mining eth themselves. That is a process I don't have to deal with, nor do I have the electrical costs of another machine running
*Next, the link you provided, you want me to rent out part of my hard drive for some alt coin storjcoin that is trading a little over $1. That's an awful lot I would have to earn to get one eth and a whole lot more to get one bitcoin. And I would still need to convert them on an exchange which is another cost and procedure. Myself, I prefer not install some additional software on my computer. So it does cost you. And 9€ is only about $10 US dollars a month. Maybe you quoted 9€ a month wrong. That isn't $2-$3 dollars a day. That would be only $ 0.33 a day and less then what I am making with the mining contract.
Also, I can change my mining allocation at any time. If I like, I can have Genesis Mining do 100% bitcoin, no additional cost. What is mined gets sent directly to my wallet, no conversion needed or any extra procedures. A mining contract provides me a no hassle way to earn additional bitcoin and ethereum while I am not watching an exchange to buy there. I don't have to use bandwidth, electricity or store other peoples files on my computer through storj.
But neither you nor I know exactly what will happen. I invest in all sorts of crypto directly by buying it off of coinbase. That is my main source of crypto. Coinbase does not trade in steem. Genesis doesn't do steem either. I think that addresses all the points you brought up. Thanks for reading.
