I'm not an economist, nor am I a financial advisor, but you would have to have been living under a rock not to have heard of cryptocurrencies by now. How couldn't you? In the last couple of weeks, the topic has been everywhere, after Bitcoin hit a record high in value. Now, reader ddermedgoglou is asking Laptop Mag, can you mine cryptocurrency on a laptop?
But here's the thing: Electricity isn't free. And if you're mining a cryptocurrency, you'll need your laptop plugged in for long hours and working its most energy-sucking components at their hardest. Will your electric bill cost more than anything you've mined? If so, you may end up in the red.
So, can you mine cryptocurrency from your laptop? Maybe. It may take a long time, and it may ultimately damage your laptop, but it's possible, depending on the coin. However, your laptop really isn't the right tool, and you may end up burning it out or paying more to mine than you're getting out of it.
