Mining of bitcoins

In 2011-2012 the cost of one bitcoin did not exceed $20. And in 2013, on average, the price of one BTC was a maximum of $139, and in November 2013 the cost of one bitcoin exceeded $1,100. Today, 1 BTC costs above $15000, and it changes every day so any miner who had kept to his coins would be super rich by now.

There are two options for earning on BTC mining:
◆ Standard mining: Standard way is possible after buying the above-mentioned equipment.
