Value of 1 bitcoin on 01.01.2017 : £ 1,000
Value of 1 bitcoin on 01.01.2018: £10,000.

What goes up like rocket comes down like a stick.

You can use your iPhone X to mine bitcoins - make it pay for itself!

I’ve found a map with X marks the spot on it. I’m up for it if you are!

Don't be gullible, folks - it could be a Bitcoin Pyramid scheme!

Or we could ask Alexa.........

The trouble is they are so mobile, just when you think you have found them they drop even further. You need a dark web to catch any.

Find a line of little blokes singing Hi Ho, Hi Ho, and follow them! There will either be a mine at the end - or a man in a white coat hmm!!

Love this. Keep on writing, and when you find the Bitcoin mine, form an orderly queue.

Or code?

Having heard a very long discussion (well it seemed interminable) on the radio about this the other week I should now be able to be considered a bit of an expert grin.
However, I was driving at the time so wasn't concentrating that well except to search for bitcoin mine signs at each motorway junction.

I didn't see any, but perhaps they are in secret locations?

I'd try digging at the end of the rainbow.

Ahh bless ???

kittylester Mon 01-Jan-18 16:11:41

Wear decent shoes though!!

Artyfarty Mon 01-Jan-18 15:40:41

We should hire ourselves a couple of mules and go prospecting! grin

Mining is a hard life. ⛏ I hope that things don’t get so bad that you don’t end up chewing your boot soles and sucking the nails like Charlie Chaplin did in the film!

Hello Grans,

My husband and I have been struggling to make ends meet with our current pension, and hope to gain some extra income. I used to work in the local corner shop but still we are struggling. Whilst reading a blog post on 'How to feel young when you're 95', I heard about this thing called 'Bitcoin mining and I've heard this is very lucrative. Now my father used to be a coal miner in South Wales, so I know a thing or two, and I think my husband may have a shovel and pickaxe in his shed.

Please could any of you grans let me know how I can take the next step towards mining and where's the best place to mine.
