    Crypto/BTC experts I need your help...

    Whats your thoughts on sites like NiceHash that sets you up to "lease" or "rent" your system and power to mine BTC? Could it be worthwhile?

    Take into consideration I live in Costa Rica and avg income here is much lower than in the US... so even 1k worth of BTC is almost a months salary!

    Is it worth it? I have 2-3 computers I can destine to it!

    My reasoing is all BTC mined pretty much can be exchanged for alt coins where you can buy decent amounts and play with the "hype market" with "house money"... money you mined and not took out of your wallet to invest!

    Cheap electricity is usually the thing that makes or breaks how much profit you make.

    I would not invest in NiceHash, Bitconnect or Genesis Mining. The difficulty will change and you will lose money on certain weeks.
    If you want to mine and make profit. It's better to invest your own money on building your own ASIC mining rig and you need cheap electricity price in your region to do this. If electricity price is too expensive. It's not worth it.

    For those who don't want to interpret the charts below, I will give you the highlights:
    Costa Rica electricity cost are: Peak Hours = 29 cents per kwh - Off Peak Hours = 5 cents per kwh
    How do those rates compare to the United States?

    California = 10 cents per kwh
    Kentucky = 10 cents per kwh
    Hawaii = 38 cents per kwh
    NYC = 19 cents per kwh

    The price at which electricity is billed in Costa Rica is higher during "peak hours". 10:00am - 12:30pm & 5:30pm - 8:00pm


    The lowest price at which electricity is billed in Costa Rica are the hours between 8:00pm - 6:00am

    Yeah seems so. Weed has a weak yield unless you grow and it also demands tons of electricity. Thats how people get caught due to a spike on the kw consumption.

    Been thinking entering the MDMA/ecstasy market. Bigger yield. More pussy. I know all the DJs and artists down here so have contacts.

    Already have an ugly feud with one of the main x dealers in CR. We basically thratened to kill each other 3/4 years ago but the guy has seen me in clubs and runs away.

    There is a story mistold down here on how I killed a drug dealer. Is misleading and idk who started the rumour but I dont bother setting the record straight since it gave me tons of street cred. This talk started when I had to collect debts for a couple of cocaine dealers back in late 2014.

    I guess drugs are big everywhere in the west hemisphere if you know the right people- Ive doing drugs and partying since 2003. I was a singer and a DJ... I know TONS of drug abusers and party people... bigger market today than 10 years ago.

    I need to make more money. Supporting my mom and paying the house loan is not giving me enough breathing space to invest or even enjoy life like I want. I am pissed and tired of being a fukkin avg guy. I wanna travel. Want a big house. Want unlimited pussy supply.

    Reddit has been amazing with this. Still making a budget, this is hard work.
