speaking of bitcoin, i've mined about $19 so far

So like what exactly is "mining?" Is that just a fancy word for buying and selling for profit like stock market traders do? Or is that something else entirely? I keep reading stuff about people needing GPUs for mining, but I just clicked and bought $50 with no problem.

mining uses your computer to earn bitcoins

you just bought bitcoins

How do you use your computer to earn bitcoins


Download a program. But at this point the earnings are really small compared to the early days.

yup.

on an i5-6400 and a radeon 7950 i get about a dollar a day
