2. I think you killed all chance of getting anyone to look at Bitcoin fairly on that forum with your statement:
Quote
"I've made nearly $50k this year mining crypto. All perfectly legal. 3 rigs in my house. Now that is winter the rigs heat my house rather than baseboard heaters. I am making money off heating my house essentially. $300 in electricity gets me nearly $1000 a month in profit."
It sounds like those spam "I made $46,000 this month by going to this website" comment posts to anyone who doesn't know much about Bitcoin. And as someone who's first intro to Bitcoin is that statement, I would immediately dismiss it.
Basically, on the mining side, instead of explaining about electrical cost and transaction processing, you said something like "I'm making tons of money! Bitcoin is awesome!"
I do find it interesting, the responses. It's very interesting socially how people suddenly become very biased and mean when they dislike something. Or even if they are just judging someone by initial impression.
It's too bad he closed the thread. I think forum members here who are also MSI members would have posted some interesting comments in that thread.
