· Every time it happens you get paid
· In terms of profitability, there are loads of calculators available, it’s profitable, that’s why people do it
· New tech called Burst maps the free space on you hard drive & it’s eco friendly

· If that happens to Bitcoin they will need to change to a proof of stake system
· There should be such mass adoption that your wallet should automatically do it, but at this point the tech is not developed right now
