and it is an investment for my business true, but if I am mining ETN am i not investing in ETN? different views, but its cool.
Missed that last one. Actually no, you do not investing in ETN, only in your own business. As soon as you beginn with your
business (mining hardware) to mine for a given project you provide paid service, not an investement.
Well, there are some miners like me that mine as a form to get cryptocurrencies, instead of buying them using USD's or EUROs... My aim is also to keep the mined coins aas a way to support them... That's another mining approach, isn't it?
However, please, take into consideration the role that miners play in a coin... it is a huge part of the SW and HW infraestruture each coin needs. And it is of volatile nature. Mining HW is also shared amongst several coins. Big and small investors make this true, using their own money. I bet that those currencies where it is not possible to mine, require to deploy a huge distributed network to allow users to exchange coins easily in a safe manner. For me, miners are not a small portion of a crypto.
Yours, very respectfully.
