Crypto Mining Still Possible on Home PC with Honeyminer, Minergate

One aspect of Proof-of-Work (PoW) cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, Ethereum and Litecoin is that they can be generated via mining. Mining is a process where a computer solves cryptographic hashes to group transactions into blocks and add them to the blockchain. When a block is found, the miner or miners who worked together to find it receive a block reward. Mining secures the cryptocurrency network and the rewards are distributed to miners to give them an incentive to keep maintaining the network.

Hello cryptocurrency enthusiasts, traders, investors, innovators, miners, and advocates! I will be posting BitcoinNews articles and videos in this thread, from https://bitcoinnews.com/ .

To start, here is a video about hyperbitcoinization, an optimistic way to start this thread 

Hyperbitcoinization: The End Of Fiat Currency, $100M Bitcoin?

Hyperbitcoinization is defined Bitcoin commentator ObiWan Kenobit as “a theoretical state wherein Bitcoin displaces legacy currencies and becomes the dominant if not only method to exchange value”. Hyperbitcoinization was first discussed by Nakamoto Institute founder Daniel Kraswisz in 2014, and ObiWan Kenobit thinks it could lead to Bitcoin prices as high as USD 100 million per coin.

Thanks for the site and I truly enjoyed the video. Crystalization is truly the best dream every bitcoin holder has right now. But, I don't think that fiat money will be extinguished by bitcoin that easily. A million dollars per bitcoin is large enough for me and it will really give me a step up financially thus, making 100 million dollars per bitcoin still almost impossible.
