How To Make Money With Cryptocurrency In 2020

A majority of the people who became millionaires because of bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies did so because they were early adopters when bitcoin was still new and cheap. When bitcoin increased a thousand-fold this early adopters became overnight millionaires during the major bitcoin bull runs, with 2017 December being the biggest bitcoin bull run to date (Bitcoin reaching almost $20000 in value). The same could be said of bitcoin miners, those who got involved early made a killing as it was easier to get involved, by this I mean the difficulty levels were lower and the rewards were bigger. The more people that got involved the harder it became to mine. Essentially crypto rewards early adopters, those who became involved by the time bitcoin was already popular joined in too late to make crazy profits. However just because you missed out on previous bull runs does not mean you cannot still make money from cryptocurrency. Crypto may not be as profitable as it once was but there are still ways to make money in 2020.

The original crypto and the more established altcoins are still in play though, the smaller and newer altcoins have lost traction because they had no actual value or real-world application. Coins made popular by the famous fundraising method called ICOs (Initial coin offerings) have since crashed and have faced the SEC and many scammers charged for their fraudulent activities.

Cryptocurrency Mining

Bitcoin mining is not easy nor is it cheap, the cost of electricity alone would depend on where you live in the world. Being a solo miner has never been harder, but there are ways to be profitable even in bitcoin mining such as joining established mining pools (Miners pool their resources together and share their hashing power while splitting the reward equally according to the number of shares they contributed). Another example is investing in companies who set up mining rigs for the most profitable cryptocurrencies in the location around the world where electricity is cheaper. One such company is Australia’s leading blockchain mining company NGS Crypto which has recently set up shop in South Africa. They offer bitcoin mining as an investment.

Making money from BTC is not as easy as it used to be but there are still ways to make a profit for those who want to get involved. You just need to find creative ways to make a profit and adapt to the current market.
