> [@Aedaxus](#): > > Stop derailing it then realize there are some -albeit light- comparisons to slave trade and they shout it’s “offensive” to take a look on how some bitcoin miners are working in what today would be called slavery. I have no clue what you’re on about. With crypto mining/investing nobody is getting exploited or abused. > [@Aedaxus](#): > > to take a look on how some bitcoin miners are working in what today would be called slavery. Being a crypto miner myself I certainly do not feel like a slave, I feel like the total opposite. Even when the BTC value was £25k I still felt very happy with crypto mining. As I mentioned earlier this is the happiest I have ever been financially in my entire life. I am so happy to be involved in crypto and I love talking about it to anyone who will listen. There are many types of tech jobs within crypto, and there are many tech guys like myself who are so happy that the computer repair man can now gain further employment by building and using a crypto mining rig. This is the coolest thing to ever happen to me and right now I want to do cartwheels down the street. If this goes well for me I would like to give up work and spend most of my time doing charity work and have a crypto mining operation support me. ---

Yes, I read about this, Snoop Dogg now owns Death Row records, and I know Nas already has money invested in coinbase. This is so cool. ---

> [@Arumi\_Liz](#): > > It’s why I’m interested to see where bitcoin and crypto currencies may take us. I have seen the direction my country has been heading in the past few decades and I know the grand majority of Americans literally live pay check to pay check. I understand the issues, which are compareable -but slightly different per region- in the West. Not sure about how it goes in other regions as I didn’t check up on that. Good to have a deeper understanding of your aversion to what a government did and didn’t do But rule of law and regulations is what transformed the wild west to the U.S.A. and things did go better in certain years. I would say HODL, your government can heal. 😉 > [@Aaron](#): > > If this goes well for me I would like to give up work and spend most of my time doing charity work and have a crypto mining operation support me. That’s an awesome vision. I hope this will one day come true, but I’m doubting. That’s why we have this long discussion. ---

> [@Arumi\_Liz](#): > > Crypto currencies may evolve into something where anyone with access to the internet may make an additional income. I’m not up to speed with it but I have even seen things about NFTs and artwork and one of my family members that actually sells art she creates is investigating what can be done with crypto currencies and her work. This is exactly what I mean, with NFT’s artists can get involved and earn money where otherwise an unknown artist with amazing skills may not get exposure. In my opinion anything that creates honest employment is a good thing. ---

Is that all you got? I’m not really sure why you’re here if you can’t add value to the convo. Your opinion seems to be based on nothing but ignorance and misunderstanding. All I have to say to you is learn the facts before committing to an opinion. People will always go wrong if they commit to an opinion before they know facts. for example; even though you think something is a scam, acknowledge that people do not agree with you and have invested real money in crypto and computer hardware, trillions in fact. these are facts where you will look stupid for ignoring it. I for one didn’t buy any equipment for mining crypto for about 2 months even though I knew I was definitely going to do it, during this time i was researching electricity costs, and how to setup and maintain a crypto miner safely. I got a good understanding of how much i would earn and then i spent money. Try to have more chat than “it’s a scam” or “it won’t work” give reasons for why you think it’s a scam and refer to facts. if you can’t do any of this I’m not really interested in discussing much with you. ---
