I am proposing a new system that I am calling GreenGold - it is a simple system with guaranteed returns, and it works like this:
Step 1: Go into the room where your mining rigs are and shut them and any associated HVAC systems off.
Step 2: Go outside and play
Step 3: At the end of the month, compare your power bills. The difference between the amounts are your 'GreenGold earnings'.
Step 4: Use the money earned to buy real gold coins, which have a higher stability than Bitcoins!
Pros:
-Increased physical activity and sun exposure will make you more attractive!
-Discussing how you sliced your energy consumption to 25-50% is more interesting to strangers than sperging out about cryptocurrencies.
Cons:
-You can't play "pretend IT professional"
-You can't buy drugs semi-anonymously over the internet for way over street value
-Girls who previously thought you odd and repulsive may give you extra attention, decreasing the time you have to watch your favorite animes
any comments/improvements welcome!
Your argument is fallacious because comparing the difference between electric bills doesn't account for the value of Bitcoins generated during that time. If the value of Bitcoins generated during that time is > than 'greengold' earnings, then you're sacrificing profit. Not only that, but I don't see how you 'earn' anything by not spending money on electricity. That's like saying I 'earned" $5 today cause I haven't bought my pack of cigs yet.
Edit: Smoking and mining are equally addicting.
Edit 2: Value of Bitcoins generated will always be > 'greengold' earnings unless you're a moron.
