Why every people say that?
It is so difficult activity
it is difficult for people who have no enough capital to start... and some newbies say it is dificult who never tried and don't even know what mining is.It is so difficult activity
if you have enough money to purchase everything(including the electricity cast) you can do it with no issue.
because every mining is uselss and full of loss and full of risk . there is always a chance to ran away the mining site any time without notice . hashocean mining is a best example of you topic that you have started .
don't call mining useless. there is big deference between mining and cloudmining. cloudmining have no any relation with bitcoin mining. they run on hype bases.If you aren't going to make a mining farm, than small capital is enough to start mining at home. You'll earn some bitcoin and if you have free electricity than it's really good to start mining with 3 powerful miner.
You are true, mining isn't useless of course, it's business and pocket money for some people and I also agree you that cloudmining is waste of time and money but when you say that mining isn't difficult, you are wrong. I amn't newbie but I'll sathat it's difficult because you need good fan system, when you buy antminers, they aren't always good working and some of them don't lasts longer, you need to change old antminer with new and working antminer, also new and more powerful miners are releasing and after years it's time to change your old antminer with new one because that's more profitable and much better. So it's not really easy, it's difficult.
