Why isn't EVERYONE with a recent computer mining bitcoin alredy?!?

in #bitcoin6 years ago

FYI: A standard non-overclocked GTX1070 laptop currently generates about $1.60 to $1.80 (US) per day in bitcoin.

Average that to $1.70/hour, and that's about $12.50 a week, or $53.00 a month, or $640.00 per year, at the current bitcoin valuation of $7650.00 US.

If John McAfee is correct, it'll be worth about 100 times more than that by the end of 2020. So if you're generating bitcoin TODAY, but those bitcoins rise in value ONE HUNDRED TIMES over the next few years, that changes EVERYTHING.

If he's right, that means that what you're generating TODAY will be worth about $170.00 per day, or $1250.00 per week, or $5300.00 per month, or $64,000.00 per year.

Why is ANYBODY out there NOT mining "a buck or two a day" TODAY?!? Are they all incapable of doing elementary math?

For those who just never looked it in those amazingly simplified and easily understood terms, here's something that YOU can try on the computer you're using RIGHT NOW to see what YOU can generate with the machine in front of you...or the machine you're going to build, or just throw a new GPU (or two) into...
