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.I don't know why people comparing real mining to cloudmining, and i only think the only comparison for both is they have mining in their name, and the truth their is cloudmining is just made by those scammers who wants to make their site looks more adorable for newbie people so they will invest on it, and maybe other's name it useless since blocks for bitcoin are more harder to get for each years passes maybe they are just focusing on bitcoin and not for the other altcoin.
Well, that's a good point of view.
But most of that sites install unwanted software and malware in your PC. And have lot of annoying pop-ups too.
