RE: I hereby retract my Envion recommendation!
Unrelated question, but in the absence of even a basic PM system I have to ask here, what do you think of mining companies ?
Every single video I watch on YouTube now I keep seeing ads for mining companies, one in particular constantly, "Ice Rock Mining".
What's the deal with those ? Obvs I'm not in the least bit interested but I wondered what your views were. Maybe a good topic for a new article ?
I covered them to a degree in my "Cryptocurrency Spotlight - Envion", Ice Rock Mining got a mention. I also happened to see a new one advertised on CMC today: HashCoin. The problem with mining coins (and also with cloud mining) is that there is an extremely high chance of fraud. There have been many mining pyramid schemes. Often it's hard to tell at first, which are legit and which are scams.
I would advise the inexperienced investor to stay well away from these, only hardened sceptics should consider mining coins, and even then the risk is still higher than normal.
For the record I'm not a fan of Ice Rock, I don't trust them.
Cheers, I just wondered because I get spammed constantly with their stupid videos on YT, either them or some other shady outfit
It must be all your dodgy search term metadata stored in the Google servers! 😅
Its probably because I search for 'mining' as in precious resources mining, not made up icky dicky dollar mining :-)
Hold those icky dicky dollars for 10 years and we'll see which form of mining makes better returns. Many of your non icky dicky mines already run at a considerable loss.
Those real mines will still be there in10 years time, making resources that are used in the real world that actually serve a purpose, not become a forgotten footnote on deadcoins.com
You sure about that?

You missed the point, how many of your 1600+ shitcoins are going to still be here in 10 years time ?
I don't think we'll be running out of precious minerals for quite a while yet, and the price of them will rocket way before they do...

Just remind me again about my shitty money losing investments compared to crypto ?
