“Bitcoin mining companies have several advantages over running a mining operation yourself. The most significant one is that you don’t have to worry about setting up and maintaining mining hardware. Many of these companies have built-in plans to increase their speed as the network difficulty rises, reducing the risk of a quickly diminishing payout. Additionally, selling shares is significantly more liquid than selling mining hardware if you decide not to be in the mining business anymore. The counter-point to these advantages is that you will be paying a management fee of several percent that will come out of profits.”
