Wat levert een jaar Bitcoin minen nou op

Ajouté : 2026-06-06

[00:00:00]Ladies and gentlemen, a warm welcome and thank you for your patience while waiting.

[00:00:04]I know that there are a lot of open emails with questions about the payout. I know that there are a number of people who have not yet been able to successfully send their Bitcoin address. Uh, I will contact them via WhatsApp. Make sure my WhatsApp number is correct.

[00:00:17]Uh, watch out for scammers and all that sort of thing. Um, the reason you had to wait a little while between the moment I asked for your Bitcoin address and the actual sending of the Bitcoin rewards is because, first of all, I wanted to share this report with you. So what actually happened? What is the current situation? And how much exactly are you going to receive? And besides that, I am still waiting for a uh whole bunch of Bitcoin addresses from people. Um, so make sure you send that Bitcoin address to me or reply to the WhatsApp message that I'm going to send you, if you're not with those people. So keep in mind that more than, well, 106 people participated. About 100 people participated in the eh cloud mining community. So, uh, thanks for your patience. Just a little more patience. This report will follow, and in the course of next week I want to pay everyone out of the Bitcoin that we have received. Right, I wo n't keep you waiting any longer. I have prepared a uh small presentation report for you. Uh, and I'm just going to give that to you now.

[00:01:22]The Bitcoining mining status report and first payout. An honest account of a year and a half of mining together, the results, the setbacks, the lessons learned, and how things move forward. Before I show even a single rating, I want to thank you for your trust and especially for your patience. You entered a joint experiment, and as you will read in this report, not everything went as hoped. I'm not going to sugarcoat it. And this is the first time we are paying out. And I did n't want to do that with just a small amount and a pat on the back. You deserve the full package. What have you done to me? Where did it go wrong?

[00:01:56]What does it mean for your investment? And what have we learned from it? Better to be honest than to be squeamish. To gloss over. Let's go. The experiment. The idea behind cloud mining was simple. A good Bitcoin miner quickly costs thousands of euros.

[00:02:12]Too much for most people to put one up themselves. With all the noise, heat, electricity costs, and hassle that comes with it.

[00:02:19]By sharing one me with a group via €500 tickets, everyone could participate in Bitcoin mining, including 2 years of hosting and electricity, without having to shell out the full purchase cost. In total, 106 tickets have been sold, divided among three groups and four mines. Group 1 was uh mine 1 in uh Norway. Me 2 and 3 came. Initially, the intention was for them to end up in uh Ethiopia, uh, and miner 4, actually, the uh same story. In total, 106 tickets were sold, divided among three groups and four. My group 1, my 1 in Norway, sold 35 tickets with a stake of €17,500.

[00:03:00]Group 2, miners 2 and 3 consisted of 46 tickets with a buy-in of €23,000. And group 3 was my 4 with 25 tickets, uh, and a stake of €12,500. So, in total, four of us mined. Uh, 106 tickets were wagered and there was a stake, a total stake of €53,000.

[00:03:22]The revenue from each me is simply divided by the number of tickets in that group. For example, if a group has mined €350 in value and there are 35 tickets, then each ticket stands for €10. There was a shared hypothesis underlying this entire story. If we found the cheapest electricity in the world, we would have a difference compared to everyone in more expensive locations.

[00:03:42]Lower electricity costs, higher return. Waterproof on paper, but in practice. Our first community mine started running in Norway on green hydropower of around 9.5 to 10 cents per kilowatt. Not the cheapest option, almost twice as expensive as what was possible elsewhere, but stable, green [sniffs] and reliable. This mine has been running since early 2025 without significant interruptions. The gamble on cheap electricity. This is where the experiment really began. For the second group of miners, after much consultation and polling, particularly within the VIP community, we opted for a cheaper location. The current there was almost half of that in Norway, and that was the edge we were doing it for. We had taken political risks into account, but what we did not see coming came from a completely different direction.

[00:04:32]Slow customs, endless queues, and a government that, precisely due to media attention, had imposed a limit and a waiting list on new mining sites and electricity. Our mines were ready, but simply weren't allowed to turn on. Month after month, nothing but excuses and delays. The detour to Dubai. After considerable insistence, we made the decision. The mines did not go to that cheap location, but were diverted to Dubai. Electricity was more expensive there.

[00:05:01]exactly the ore we lost.

[00:05:03]But the process went more smoothly. Because everything had run so sluggishly and slowly, our hosting partner has absorbed the additional costs of that more expensive electricity. Since September 5, 2025, these miners were finally really running. And finally, the move to Oman.

[00:05:21]Trouble again in early 2026. The mine went offline again and had to move to a new, larger location in Oman. Miner 2 and 3 got working again there, but Four Over That Zoomeer became the problem child. The common thread should be clear. Every time we chose the cheapest or smartest route, it cost us time, downtime, and headaches. Buying cheap turned out to be expensive. The results per group.

[00:05:49]We have a chart here where you can actually clearly see what those monthly revenues are, expressed as of. As you can see, group é has admittedly remained, um, stable, hasn't it? So you are a bit... you also see a small decrease, that also has to do with, uh, the difficulty and such. Group 2 has been, uh, on, but has had, uh, downtime. Um, and eventually one of the two miners was on for me, and eventually both mine were on. And group three, the red line, there you actually see that, um yeah, that there has been a lot of downtime, a lot of moving, a lot of offline, and now over the past month, um, it is finally running properly.

[00:06:31]Here we still have the revenue month by month. Just a quick thank you to Nico for keeping track of what all the miners have accomplished for, uh, for actually everyone in the community and from the, uh, of cloud mining. So, uh, thank you for the overview. Uh, if you want to dive into this for a bit, just pause the video. And so, in the end, we still have the comparison. What exactly do you see per group? Group is the Norway mine. The silent force. The most expensive electricity, but the most reliable one of them all. For 16 months, not a single zero month has generated a decent and predictable yield. You see the monthly yield slowly decrease. That is normal. As more mining power is added worldwide, the difficulty increases and the same machine yields slightly less. But reliable, it remained boring, and therefore just right.

[00:07:24]Group 2, miner 2+3, the comeback. A rollercoaster, the near zero in October is the scar of the moves. But look where this group stands now. By far the strongest monthly returns of the entire report: 0.0057 in March and April.

[00:07:42]And after a rotten start, completely bounced back.

[00:07:45]In the end, group 3 and me, group 4, the unlucky group. To be fair, this is the one who has been hit the hardest.

[00:07:52]Miner 4 didn't turn on until September, already on the late side, and actually only ran well for about two months after that. November dead, February through April practically nothing.

[00:08:05]Closed or line 47 plus days prior. moving, repairs that aren't progressing, unrest in the region. It all came together on this one me. It has been running again since May 9, 2026. We hope it has been resolved now, but we remain cautious and, uh, we remain cautious and keep a close eye on it.

[00:08:26]Ultimately, the comparison. Because the groups ran for different lengths— 16, 12, and 9 months—the total yield is not a fair one-to-one comparison. Therefore, the revenue per ticket is shown here, normalized to the revenue per ticket. per month.

[00:08:46]Group 1 uh you actually see a uh 0.00 10 408 uh yeah, sathis that you actually uh had inside. I should actually just say 10,000 uh um 408 torsions.

[00:08:59]Uh, group 2, so my 2 and 3, they raised about 8327 satoshi, and group 3 only 4164 satoshi. So reliability beats the cheapest kilowatt-hour. So, even when normalized, the order remains the same. Group 1 at the front, group 2 in the middle, and group 3 at the back. Two things explain that.

[00:09:25]First, timing. Whoever started earlier, Norway mined during a period when a machine still yielded a bit more per day. Secondly, and above all, reliability. A spinning me earns. A person who is being moved or is undergoing repairs earns zero. No matter how cheap the electricity is at that location. The conclusion of the entire experiment in one sentence: reliability beats the cheapest kilowatt-hour.

[00:09:55]Well, what is your investment worth now? Time for the numbers that matter. We clearly calculate everything in euros, but your payout is and remains in Bitcoin. There is one thing you need to know while reading. We are currently in a be market, and the Bitcoin price happens to be extremely low. Namely at 54,547 €573.87 at this moment in time. Well, tomorrow is different again, and you know how it goes. But that is therefore a deliberately unfavorable moment to view the value in euros. Keep that in mind while you look at the table below. You basically see group 1 here €17,500 investment uh 0.0 05 uh Bitcoin avoided. Current value 3181 per ticket, so €90.88 raised, which represents an 18.2% return on the investment. Group 2 has €23,000 invested. Uh, picked up about 0.045 torsions. Current value is €2,500.

[00:10:57]Uh, per ticket it comes out to €54.53.

[00:11:00]And so that is 10.9% of the stake. uh picked up. Group 3 had a stake of 12,500.

[00:11:08]0.009 Bitcoin has been raised with that. That is only worth €511. And so that is €20.45 per ticket.

[00:11:17]And with that, only 4.1% of what was invested has been raised at this point in time. Well, at this low rate, so uh, there isn't a single group left above the initial investment in euros. It is important to keep two things clear in mind regarding this. You own Bitcoin and no euros. So you are holding onto that Bitcoin at a low.

[00:11:36]The whole idea behind this project was to collect Bitcoin over time.

[00:11:40]Today's euro value is a snapshot, not a final figure. The counter keeps running. So this is what has been mined so far. The downgrades are simply continuing. So this Bitcoin stack is still growing, and we will come back to that later. And what if this Bitcoin reaches a new altem high? to show the potential. This is what the currently mined bitcoin per ticket would be worth at different exchange rates. Purely illustrative, not a promise, no one knows the future. But still, just to, um, yes, broaden the spectrum of what if the market had been in a different position? which might be next year or in 2028 or even in 2029—we are assuming, you know, September 2020—to see a new peak in Bitcoin, provided the mines can still just stay running, by the way, but I'll come back to that in a moment; so these are basically the expectations for those tickets to date. So you actually see that group 1, with a price of €100,000, is at €166, group 2 at €99, and group 3 at €37. Uh, at 200,000 that is 333, 199, and 74. And at 400,000 you see that, um, actually group 1 is already above the 500 stake with €66 per ticket.

[00:12:54]And once again, that is purely based on what has been mined so far, while months of mining are still to come. My honest advice: we are at a low point in the market, and my personal view is, um, is that, um, uh, yes.

[00:13:12]Once again, it remains your own choice, but it is to leave your Bitcoin alone not to cash out right now. You collected the Bitcoin at a cheap moment, and that is exactly what this is intended for. But you decide for yourself, and this is expressly not a guaranteed return or financial advice, but it is naturally what I personally do with my mining earnings. As for what happens next, we continue mining and you have paid for approximately 2 years of electricity in advance. And there is a nice, just edge to this. We didn't use any electricity for the months the mine was out of service either. So those months have not been used up, and you are getting that time back. The missed months simply push back the extended end date, and especially Group 3 (so my Group 4) builds up a substantial buffer of extra time to still make up for lost time.

[00:14:02]Indicative means that approximately group é ran almost uninterruptedly. So the entire period is utilized. So roughly, you keep mining until early, uh, 2027, and groups 2 and 3 from the actual start. So well, take a bit, uh, September uh, 5, uh, 2025, plus all the offline months on top of that. So for group three, considerably longer than the bare 2 years. So if we were to measure that from purchase up to and including, well, that 2- year deadline, so to speak. So after the ride, as soon as the prepaid period is up, uh, if the mine is still running profitably then, you can choose to invest in extra power usage to continue. I will come back next year with more detailed information and concrete advice regarding that. Rhyme on time, so you can decide calmly. But in principle, it comes down to this. Um, if the electricity costs still outweigh the Bitcoin flowing in, yeah, then I would just continue mining, of course. Uh, only when the electricity costs are more expensive than the monthly income. And by that I really do mean the situation where we are, uh, talking about them just working and not with moving, uh, government problems, and they just carry on. Uh yeah, then um uh we're obviously just going to extend that. That is the advice, at least. Okay. Um, what we learned, so our lessons and conclusion, and time to take stock. What we misjudge. We thought we were being smart by seeking out the cheapest electricity in the world, but the savings on electricity were more than eaten up by customs, waiting lists, moving, repairs, and regional unrest. Every month offline is a month without yield, and not a single cheap kilowatt-hour makes up for that. What we have learned: reliability over price.

[00:15:58]Norway was the most expensive and performed the best. Simply because it kept running. That is the most important lesson of this entire experiment. An unstable link can drag an entire group along.

[00:16:10]Miner 4 shows how vulnerable a setup is if it depends on a single location that fails to supply. Diversification and stable locations therefore outweigh a difference of a few cents on the electricity bill.

[00:16:24]And ultimately, um, how we are going to do it better. Uh, for the future, we are looking at locations where the process runs smoothly and predictably. Even if the electricity is slightly more expensive there. Better to pay a few cents more and have it running than to stand still cheaply. And we will simply keep you honestly informed, just like now. The peaks and the zeros. Finally, this didn't go quite as I had hoped, and that's a bummer. But you now have a real stack of Bitcoin at a low entry point. A me that keeps spinning and extra time owed. Thank you for your trust and patience. I certainly did n't take that for granted, and I won't. On to the next phase. Lots of love, Mike. Okay, well, um, this was the report. I hope you have gained a bit of clarity regarding what the miners have achieved, as well as how they performed relative to each other. Um, and we do plan to, uh, yeah, after this first one—yeah, by now it's already almost a year and a half—but after this first, first year, first year and a half, um, yeah, continue mining again.

[00:17:34]But naturally, we are simply going to incorporate these learnings into that. So we are going to uh take a good look at uh uh yeah the most stable location. In principle, we already have that too, right? Because that is actually just group one where we are then, uh, going to continue, uh, further, um, uh, into, uh, in, uh, yeah, into mine. I think that is the uh most important thing we are going to do for the time being.

[00:17:57]I'll just join you guys here again for a moment, but that is the uh the most important thing we're uh going to do.

[00:18:02]Just maintain a stable location.

[00:18:04]No more playing, experimenting with all those extra locations. Because we've basically had them all, haven't we, from Ethiopia, Dubai, and Oman. Uh yeah, actually none of them actually work. So, um, in these kinds of respects, those European regulations and [ __ ] are what I personally, uh, left Europe for.

[00:18:23]Yes, with these kinds of companies, with these kinds of ventures, that is actually just what you, uh, want most of all.

[00:18:29]Stability, reliability, uh regulations, and so on. So, uh, we plan to pick that up. There are no tickets available at this moment. uh, to make those purchases.

[00:18:39]As I have said all this time, especially in the community. But in case you're watching this and weren't aware of that, because for example you're not in the community, um, I just wanted all those other miners to be solved first before we then, uh, uh, super fun, uh, start selling new tickets on social media.

[00:18:56]I don't think that is acceptable. Meanwhile, mine are all on. Um, we're going to see how this goes for a while, uh, yeah. Whether that is, uh, weeks, months, or maybe half a year. I'll leave that open for now. But in any case, I just want to have the feeling that, yeah, that the miners actually just keep running well without management. And at that moment, we will offer new tickets again. So I also saw quite a few requests in the community as well, you know, that people were interested in buying new tickets again. Um well anyway, this this is actually uh the report.

[00:19:25]I felt it was very important to complete this report first before, say, making those payments. Uh, just so you clearly know how things stand. I hope that was clear. Uh, once again, please feel free to ask any further questions via email. Um, as you can see, because there are so many tickets, because there are so many emails, and because there is also quite a uh administrative side to the uh whole uh mining, and therefore also arranging the uh payouts and uh answering the emails, it can take a while. So, uh, just wait patiently. I will definitely come back to this at some point. It's not that I don't see your emails coming in or anything, but uh, you can imagine that with uh, yeah, 100 uh, 100-plus emails just to do the administration and additional questions, that it's quite, uh, a chore to just pick up. But I will never forget you. I am always working on it, and I wanted to give you this report as well. In any case, this is it. I am no longer going to uh uh [laughter] have my say uh at least make you listen to my whining. So, uh, thanks for watching. Um, congratulations on uh group é, I would say, and uh, just keep going for uh group 2 and uh for group three. But I am very curious to see what the final standings are in about half a year to a year. And then, of course, I will come back to you with a new report and also, uh, the advice to potentially invest further in the power supply. So we are naturally going to place similar calculations alongside that as well.

[00:20:44]Um, and ultimately also the um potential offering of new tickets.

[00:20:49]But that fits again when we are further along. Thanks for watching.
