Yes you can earn by yourself however the business is build on a refferal system that is its main or rather only source of revenue is another sucker! If your revenue is over 60% refferal of new users to lend resources you are more or less a Ponzi

If they had alternative forms of revenue like an ad network or purchasing goods and services like ad space in their browser I’d understand but it’s only about getting more people to lend them resources!

Yes you’re getting paid but what you spend in resources is not worth what you get back in BTC and yes you can say you HODL’ing but you paying far over what you receive in market value! That also won’t change should Monero go higher in price since all they are doing is mining Monero and then on the front end giving you BTC

I have no problem with you supporting the network you are free to choose what you want! I would just like to provide an alternative view should anyone else read your post they should know all the facts before diving in
