Tarmi you do not mine multiple bitcoins daily..
But keep up the bs.
I remember the days when some cheap gpu-s like 5850 mined almost 1 btc a day. you probably bought those coins from me and now feel angry. I think I bought them at 5. I'm happy

I wasnt angry really, I was selling like mofo. I was anxious because some dude was talking stupid racist, sexist shit. but that is business as usual in this thread. I mean the stupidity.

Radeon 5850 cards were about $300 usd when they came out in 2009. Very expensive back then late 2009. Lets say the price dropped somewhat by fall 2010, bitcoin price was only like .06 so buying a card for $150-200 to mine .05 a day used more electricity than the coins it mined. So it was still a gamble, experiment back then.

It still is a gamble, experiment. But back then there was less to loss.

Yes becaus people who already had the video cards were using them to game, and mine on the side. But to buy it and mine exclusively had to be crazy. I dont even think they knew about the gpu power until 2011 or 2012. They were still using cpu back then until they figured out the computing efficiency

it is actually far more riskier to mine today with asics because you could always sell your gpus, but you cant do jack shit with asics once they go in red.
you cant really compete with asic producers. only if you have low electricity, like below 0.06 $.

Which is why you cloud mine! Just buy, mine then resell (at a profit?)

Awesome episode, very educational. I wish it was a bit longer though. Spurlock played well.

Exactly. Intel q6600 is still only drop to $30 and 4 years ago was $60 XFX 5870 now is almost same price as almost 2 years ago on used market.
