I am getting this questioned asked by relatives and friends because they are hearing how BTC is almost $20000 and they basically want to find out "How can I mine 1 BTC with my Macbook". Basically they all think you can mine BTC (not alts) using computers still and want to know much many Bitcoins they can mine PER DAY with their $1000 Macbook.
When I explain to them about how it works, give them all the details, pricing and estimated daily profits, they either think I am lying or they are no longer interested because "I won't get rich making $0.70 per day per GPU that costs ~$150".
Almost wish I never mentioned to anyone I was involved with Cryptocurrencies.
I never mention cryptocoins to anybody at all and I trade since 2009 and when somebody mentions it to me I pretend I don't know anything and I keep that way. What I most hear is pyramid business schemes scams, people falling for them and spreading them in hopes idiots will get on it too. It's really the wild west, I have never got into scams so I never lost money on any, better lose a known good opportunity than be scammed.
