You see how his trust is negative? That means you shouldn't take his word as a gold standard. I would stay far away from about cloudmining and even the reputable cloudmining sites.

If you really want to play with crypto for fun I would buy a gekko stick, if you want to try and make a profit some way, I would suggest staking alt coins.

Now altcoins ARE NOT bitcoin but alternative cryptocurrency, and staking is not mining but works by usually making around a  couple % of your wallet annually. You can do this even on solar power with a battery bank if you electric is an insane amount but like you at 8 cents a kwh you're talking 3.5$ in electric for the entire year of running it on your wall socket.

You can stake with a coin and sell the stake reward for bitcoin, if you use a popular coin you can shapeshift it instantly into bitcoin.
