RE: 🎇 Genesis Mining Is it a Scam?
I wouldn't call genesis-mining a scam, but it IS a clever way to make money from the mathematically challenged. The classic mining contract "scam" works as follows:
- Say at current difficulty, each unit of mining power would net you $50
- Sell 12 months of mining power at a price of $300
- Let the user come to the conclusion that they are getting $50 x 12 = $600 worth of mining at $300. What a great DEAL
- Neglect to mention that mining difficulty increases and price may wildly fluctuate, and that the 12 months of mining power is likely to be worth only $150 at the end
- Profit
I agree, many people definitely neglect mining difficulty increases.
Well it is a life contract not a one year..
