Binance Review – Exchange Features, Trading Fees and Security

Marius Bogdan Dinu • July 3, 2019

It’s tempting to say that Binance needs no introduction, but then again, it wouldn’t hurt to refresh yourself on how and why Binance has become the world’s top cryptocurrency exchange. For most companies, products, assets, and services, the path to the top of any respective industry is usually not a straight one. The same  can’t be  said for Binance — in the two years since its ICO , Binance has conquered every milestone while simultaneously shredding its competition to pieces.

Let’s rewind all the way back to the beginning. On June 13th, 2017, at around 11 PM,  Binance’s founding team definitively decided to create the exchange  and set July 14th of the same year as the ICO date. During the intervening month, the team set out to create the whitepaper and lay the groundwork for what was to become crypto’s most legendary exchange. The ICO was an instant success, raising $15 million just in time to catch the legendary Bitcoin bull run that kicked off in 2017’s latter half.

At first, Binance had an inauspicious beginning. Tokens that were listed there seemed to plummet instantly in what became known as the “Binance kiss of death.” However, that didn’t stop the exchange from immediately capturing large amounts of exchange market share. Their formula was simple — provide an incredibly intuitive, simple, and fast user-interface that had little to no downtime.

Up until Binance, crypto exchange users had been suffering at the hands of sketchy, illiquid, and poorly organized exchanges for quite some time. Many exchanges popped up and disappeared overnight — which would’ve been alright if it hadn’t been for the fact that when they disappeared, they did so with users’ funds. Coinbase was a ray of hope at the time, but their offerings were paltry, leading more adventurous traders to create accounts on obscure foreign exchanges using Google Translate.  Those were the days.

Along came Binance, and all of that changed. Previously unobtainable altcoins were suddenly — and easily — available on an exchange that had real user support and a blazing fast trading engine. That’s not all Binance brought to the game, though. Binance Coin (BNB) , the exchange’s native token, may have been the  piece de resistance.

Binance introduced an option to traders which allowed them to pay their trading fees in BNB — doing so significantly cut trading fees. That’s still the case today. The brilliant power move to bring a token into the mix was also backed up by game-changing tokenomics — but more on that later.

It’s pretty tough to talk about Binance without mentioning Changpeng “CZ” Zao, the exchange’s effusive, charismatic, and outspoken CEO. The exchange has not been without its issues, but the difference between it and other exchanges who experience trouble is that other exchanges don’t have CZ at the helm.

Earlier this year, Binance was hacked for over 7,000 BTC ($40 million at the time). The attack, though significant, served to highlight why the world has come to trust Binance so much. In an act of complete transparency,  CZ alerted the world about the attack immediately  via all of the exchange’s social media channels, including his personal Twitter account, and reassured Binance users that the exchange’s SAFU fund would cover all losses. Additionally, CZ took the extremely precautionary step of suspending deposits and withdrawals for a week after the hack while the exchange’s security was upgraded.

Binance’s world domination has been aided by a rapid expansion into markets with regionally-specific exchange sites Binance Uganda, Jersey, and Singapore — all in addition to its global service. However, rather than concentrate its power into one single centralized exchange, Binance has initiated steps to decentralize its services by launching its own blockchain dubbed  Binance Chain.

Now that you’re a bit more familiar with the wide scope of the Binance ecosystem, let’s have a look at the nuts and bolts of the exchange.

Opening an Account

Gaining access to a new Binance account is simple. The team at Binance is well aware that many, if not most, people who use their exchange are new to trading and investing crypto altogether. To that end, Binance has undergone several redesigns, with the most recent being in late June 2019, all to cater to a simpler aesthetic.

To create an account, you’ll need to hop over to Binance.com (always triple-check that the address is correct) and click the ‘register’ button in the upper right-hand corner. If you’re a resident of the USA, you won’t be able to create an account. Instead, you’ll have to wait until Binance.US debuts in September.

So — assuming you’re not a US resident — you can go ahead and enter both an e-mail address and password before hitting ‘create account.’ Boom, you’re well on your way to trading on the world’s most busy crypto exchange. You’ll get an email used to verify your new account which you can go ahead and click, then  voila , time to get cracking.

The first thing you’ll want to do is enable 2FA security on your exchange account. Binance strongly encourages everyone to do so — and so do we. Use Google Authenticator or any other 2FA app of your choice. Additionally, Binance will send you an email every time you want to withdraw from your account. To finalize the withdrawal, you’ll need to click the link contained within the email. Last but not least, you can enable an anti-phishing code from your Binance account. Doing so allows you to create a code which appears in all Binance emails from then on — that way you can be sure that you’re clicking on a genuine Binance email — not a fake.To begin using your fresh Binance account, simply go to the deposits page and find the asset you want to transfer over. Again, triple check the wallet address character by character before actually sending anything. Doing so will save you from the pain of irretrievably sending Bitcoin Cash to a Bitcoin SV address.

Once your wallet(s) are funded, you’re ready to rock. Binance has two views depending on your needs. On the upper left, just near the Binance logo, there’s an ‘exchange’ button.

Hover over it to expand two viewing options — ‘basic,’ and ‘advanced.’ After choosing the view that best suits your experience level, it’s time to trade.

Features and Services

Binance is arguably the most feature-rich exchange available today.

  • Launchpad   — Binance has fostered the nascent IEO (Initial Exchange Offering) movement by introducing Launchpad, its platform for incubating and hosting IEOs. Previously, investors had to do their own diligent research about ICOs before going through the difficulties of investing in them. With Launchpad, investors still need to perform their own research, but they can rest assured that Binance has already vetted the projects ahead of time. Because Launchpad is an elegantly designed platform for investing, the level of making new investments has raised significantly since the ICO days.
  • Margin trading  — Although the margin trading feature isn’t live just yet, it’s about to be. As part of Binance 2.0, an overall update to most of the Binance trading ecosystem, margin trading will allow you to make leveraged trades as you may already do on BitMex. Initially, margin trading will only support the following tokens: BTC, ETH, TRX, XRP, and BNB.
  • Scalability  — Binance users have come to understand that unless the downtime is planned, there is virtually no disruption of the service at any point. Even when BTC is experiencing a day of $40+ billion in trading volume, the exchange runs nice and smooth. That’s probably got something to do with the exchange’s ability to support 1,400,000+ transactions per second. With over $1.2 billion in daily trading volume on average, Binance is a financial hub unlike almost any other in the cryptoverse.
  • Binance Chain  — The last point is true because Binance’s centralized exchange (CEX) is exactly that — centralized. Binance is making moves away from centralization, however, and it’s doing so at a fast clip. Binance Chain is the company’s decentralized blockchain effort which also supports the Binance decentralized exchange (DEX). The Binance DEX supports many of the same currencies as the CEX, but it also offers many other assets which land on the exchange by a community vote. In the future, Binance Chain may even be a fierce competitor to Ethereum. Given the number of projects floating over to Binance Chain from competing blockchains, Ethereum’s days as crypto’s #2 may be limited.

Binance Coin ($BNB) and Fees

Binance uses a novel system for trading fees. Basically, you can either pay full price for your trading fees, or you can pay at a discounted rate if you buy and hold BNB, then pay your trading fees with that. Without using BNB, your trading fees amount to 0.1% of every trade you make. Using BNB, the trading fee per trade is .075%.

That’s not all BNB is good for, however. You can buy and hold BNB to enter into Binance Launchpad lotteries. Doing so gives you a chance to be one of the few who makes the cut to invest in the latest IEO on offer. Considering that most of the Binance Launchpad IEOs have gone north of 400%+ gains, it doesn’t hurt to keep a bit of BNB in your wallet.

Finally, at the end of each financial quarter, Binance uses 20% of its quarterly profits to market buy BNB —  then burns it from the supply. The point is to regulate the token supply and make it more scarce all while demand for the coin continues to surge. With an increase in use cases and products around the Binance ecosystem, demand for BNB  is  at an all-time high, which is reflected by BNB’s steady rise in valuation.

Security

Binance uses the latest in AI, blockchain forensics, and security tech to lock down its exchange and keep it safe for users. Obviously, a big part of keeping an exchange secure is not only keeping security tech current but also having an on-point support staff. Binance, thankfully, has both.

At times, and depending on the issue, Binance is able to provide real-time support. That’s pretty special in the crypto world — especially if you’re used to trading on one-off illiquid exchanges where support is non-existent.

The best part about Binance’s security measures, however, is its  SAFU program. SAFU stands for Secure Asset Fund for Users and is a one-of-a-kind insurance fund for Binance users. Binance allocates 10% of its trading fee profits to the fund to cover any losses incurred under unforeseen circumstances such as hacks. The SAFU mechanism is already a major success — after the aforementioned $40 million hack, Binance covered users’ stolen funds using SAFU.

The Good and the Bad

If this review comes across as a glowing endorsement of Binance, that’s probably because it is. Binance is nothing short of an amazing exchange that has also become a crypto institution. For many traders, Binance has become synonymous with cryptocurrency investing. While Coinbase may still take the cake for new traders, those who have already gotten their feet wet and are looking for a deeper crypto trading experience will find that Binance delivers.

The impressively wide range of product offerings, features, and tireless dedication to making the exchange a better place to trade all add up to make Binance a top crypto destination. Even if you can find the same assets on another exchange, you’ll have to ask yourself: Will the other exchange cover me in the event that my wallet is hacked? If the answer is no, then consider making Binance your new best friend.

CZ is transparent, available, and seems like a genuinely good guy with a desire to make crypto better for everyone. Binance exchange reflects that. Their mission to decentralize in the coming years is noble, and since they’re looked up to and imitated by nearly all the competition, they’ll likely lead the move toward mainstream decentralized exchanges in the future, too.

Binance also supports what we consider to be the best range of digital assets in the market. There’s a reason behind why getting an asset listed on Binance is regarded as a major accomplishment — it’s because they won’t list just anything. That attitude is a major benefit for traders and investors who are looking for quality over quantity.

Choosing the Right Bitcoin Mining App

By press release • April 28, 2025
Bitcoin has grown from a fringe technological curiosity into a major financial asset, and at the heart of its ecosystem lies one of its most powerful mechanisms: mining. But while mining was once the domain of tech-savvy enthusiasts with custom-built rigs, it has now become increasingly accessible to anyone with a smartphone. For those wondering how to mine Bitcoin or is mining bitcoin profitable in today’s world, the answer might just lie in the palm of their hands. How Bitcoin Mining Works Bitcoin mining is the process by which new bitcoins are entered into circulation and transactions are verified and added to the blockchain. Miners solve complex cryptographic puzzles to validate blocks of transactions. The first one to solve it gets rewarded with newly minted Bitcoins and transaction fees. This system ensures network security and maintains the decentralized nature of Bitcoin. In the past, mining required expensive hardware (like ASICs), constant energy consumption, and deep technical know-how. But recent innovations have given rise to mobile-friendly methods that offer alternative ways to participate in the mining ecosystem. Methods of Bitcoin Mining via Mobile Apps Cloud Mining: This method allows users to rent mining hardware hosted in remote data centers. Users lease a portion of mining power (hash rate) and earn a share of the mined Bitcoin. Many cloud mining platforms offer apps to monitor earnings. However, some cloud mining services have been criticized for a lack of transparency and reliability. Mobile Mining: These apps claim to mine Bitcoin directly from your phone by using its CPU or GPU. However, due to limited processing power, energy inefficiency, and wear on devices, mobile mining is generally inefficient and mostly unprofitable. Many apps in this category are more simulations than real mining tools. Digital Mining: A more advanced alternative, digital mining involves owning hash power tied to real-world mining hardware, without ever having to manage physical equipment. Through platforms like GoMining, users buy digital miners via mobile apps and earn daily Bitcoin rewards based on their virtual miner's hash power. This approach bridges real mining infrastructure with digital convenience. How to Choose a Bitcoin Mining App Selecting the best Bitcoin mining app requires careful research. Here are some key things to consider: Transparency: Make sure the bitcoin mining app provides clear information about how it works, what kind of rewards you can expect, and how mining is executed. Legitimacy: Check for user reviews, community feedback, and platform transparency. If an app promises sky-high returns with no effort, it might be a scam. Ease of Use: A good crypto mining app should be user-friendly, with intuitive navigation and helpful features such as dashboards, tutorials, and support. It’s a plus, if the app is easy for newcomers. Performance Tools: Features like a built-in crypto mining calculator help users estimate potential rewards based on input variables like hash power and token holdings. Cross-Platform Compatibility: Look for apps that work across multiple devices, including a Bitcoin mining app for Android and other mobile platforms. Ecosystem Support: Some apps go beyond mining, offering gamified tasks, referral bonuses, or access to early crypto project launches. What to Avoid Unrealistic Promises: If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Avoid apps guaranteeing huge returns in short periods. Poor Reviews or Lack of Information: A quick search should reveal whether the app is legitimate or has issues. Fake Mining Games: Many apps posing as " mining games " only simulate mining activity without any real payouts. Lack of Contact Info or Support: A legit app should have accessible customer service and a traceable company behind it. GoMining: A Hybrid Platform with Real Mining Power One of the most talked-about platforms in the digital mining space is GoMining. Designed to simplify access to real Bitcoin mining, GoMining lets users buy digital miners linked to physical mining hardware in professional data centers. Unlike typical cloud services, GoMining provides full transparency and offers real-time mining rewards, tracked directly in the app. It's not just a bitcoin mining app, it's a fully-fledged crypto mining ecosystem that includes: A user-friendly interface is available as an app for both Android and iOS, and as a desktop version. Tools like a calculator and the dashboard are used to estimate your earnings. Additionally, there are options to upgrade your miners and interact with your farm within the app. The GOMINING token is the native token of the ecosystem. It fulfills several purposes, among which is the option to pay for maintenance with a discount of up to 20%. The GOMINING token can also be used to gain access to voting and locked presales of Bitcoin projects on the launchpad. Giveaways, airdrops, and other perks help to enhance earning potential. Two mining modes include Solo mining and Miner Wars, a clan-based game. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced user, GoMining simplifies the process while maintaining real earning opportunities. It's widely discussed in positive GoMining app reviews and seen as one of the best Bitcoin mining app options available. Final Thoughts So, is Bitcoin mining profitable in 2025? The answer depends on your approach. Traditional methods may no longer be accessible to everyday users, but new technologies and platforms like GoMining offer modern, user-friendly alternatives. With the right research and a smart strategy, mining Bitcoin via apps can still be profitable, especially when using platforms designed for transparency, scalability, and long-term growth. If you're exploring Bitcoin mining apps , look for legitimacy, user trust, and real-world connections to mining infrastructure. Digital mining through trusted platforms offers a fresh way to participate in the Bitcoin economy, one that doesn’t require cables, coding, or constant maintenance. As the industry evolves, the tools we use must evolve too. Choosing the right app could make all the difference between a missed opportunity and a new stream of crypto income. The main thing to remember is that every user should do thorough research before committing to one app. There’s a reason DYOR (do your own research) is the motto of the most successful crypto traders and experts.

Navigating the Challenges of Bitcoin Mining

By press release • April 26, 2025
The transformation that Bitcoin went through, from a niche digital currency to a globally recognized asset, has revolutionized how we think about money, investment, and technology. By advancing decentralized finance, Bitcoin directly challenged the existing financial institutions. With the surge in interest came a growing need for innovative approaches to access this ecosystem. That’s why Bitcoin mining , once an obscure activity reserved for early tech adopters, has quickly grown into a sophisticated, multi-tiered industry. Today, it’s even more than that. Cryptocurrencies live by their own laws and regulations; there are trends to follow, and elements to understand before getting involved. Yet, despite Bitcoin’s evolution, it continues to face challenges that require new, user-friendly solutions. The Traditional Path: From CPUs to ASICs In the early days of Bitcoin, enthusiasts mined using their personal computers’ central processing units (CPUs). The power was more than enough, and the lack of interest in a new, untested technology didn’t allow for Bitcoin to make waves. Still, as competition grew, users upgraded to more powerful graphics processing units (GPUs), which offered better efficiency. The popularity of Bitcoin also surged, and that’s when Bitcoin mining slowly stopped being just a hobby. Eventually, application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs) became the standard for serious miners, offering unparalleled speed and energy efficiency. But ASICs are expensive, consume large amounts of electricity, and demand constant maintenance. Large facilities led by companies spearheaded the change and Bitcoin mass adoption . This evolution effectively shut out the average user from participating in mining. Today, running an independent mining operation requires significant capital, technical knowledge, and physical space. There are seemingly too many barriers that deter mainstream adoption. Mining as a Service: Cloud and Mobile Solutions To bridge this gap, cloud mining platforms were created. These services allow users to rent hash power from remote data centers without dealing with hardware directly. While more accessible, cloud mining platforms often lack transparency, and many have been accused of being Ponzi schemes. Some users never see a return on their investment, and that’s just part of the issue. Companies often offer a locked contract that doesn’t allow a user any control over their mining operation. Meanwhile, mobile mining apps claim to offer Bitcoin mining on phones, using device CPUs or offering simulation-based experiences. These apps are typically inefficient, power-draining, and often function more as marketing tools than real mining mechanisms. Nonetheless, they illustrate the public demand for convenient and passive income apps tied to Bitcoin. Digital Bitcoin Mining: The Most Modern Approach Digital mining is an evolution of both cloud and mobile mining. It enables users to own digital miners. A digital miner is a virtual asset that represents actual hash power in professional mining facilities. Unlike cloud mining contracts, digital miners are ownable. As such, they can be upgraded, sold, or transferred, offering more control and transparency. Digital mining removes the need for hardware ownership, offering users real mining rewards without the hassle of dealing with the issues related to traditional mining. It represents a step forward in making legit Bitcoin mining accessible to anyone, anywhere. GoMining: A Digital Mining Ecosystem A leader in this new wave is GoMining, a crypto mining website that offers a fully digital experience. Through its app and web platform, users can purchase and manage digital miners that are directly linked to physical mining operations. GoMining combines ease-of-use with real mining infrastructure. It's a Bitcoin mining website designed for both beginners and seasoned crypto users. The core of its ecosystem may be built around accessible Bitcoin mining, but there’s so much more to the platform. What sets GoMining apart is its holistic approach: Two Mining Modes: Aside from solo mining, which allows users to acquire daily BTC rewards according to the power of their farm, there is another mode. Miner Wars is a clan-based mining game, in which players join clans and compete against each other for rewards. Launchpad: A Bitcoin-centric launchpad allows Bitcoin projects to present their tokes for pre-sale. GOMINING Token: Used to pay maintenance fees at a discount, access token presales, and participate in the ecosystem through voting. The tokens can also be invested in a liquidity pool . Secure Wallet: Integrated features that allow users to hold and store their Bitcoin rewards and GOMINING tokens. Passive Income Potential: Rewards are distributed daily, and users can optimize earnings through strategic upgrades and in-game participation. LBH (Level-Based Hashrate): A tiered system that rewards long-term engagement and miner power accumulation. The GoMining platform is available as a Bitcoin miner app , suitable for mobile devices and providing Bitcoin mining on phone without draining local resources. This makes it a strong contender among crypto mining sites aiming for mass adoption of Bitcoin. Why Digital Mining Matters Digital mining lowers the barriers to entry in the Bitcoin mining world. It provides an accessible gateway into an otherwise complex industry. For those asking whether mining is still profitable, the answer is nuanced. It can bring considerable rewards, but only when done through efficient, transparent, and legitimate platforms. GoMining’s transparency, use-case versatility, and gamified features make it one of the most promising players in the space. It transforms passive income apps into real revenue channels tied to blockchain infrastructure. As Bitcoin continues its journey toward global acceptance, platforms like GoMining will play a crucial role in democratizing access to mining. They are not merely tools, they’re part of the broader movement toward decentralized financial empowerment. Final Thoughts The landscape of Bitcoin mining is shifting. From hardware-heavy operations to app-based solutions, the evolution has opened doors for millions of new participants. Digital mining, exemplified by GoMining, is the most advanced iteration yet. It offers the security of real hash power with the ease of mobile access. In navigating the challenges of Bitcoin mining, GoMining and similar passive income apps offer clarity, control, and opportunity.  They bring us one step closer to true Bitcoin mass adoption, where earning BTC is not limited to those with tech labs and industrial budgets, but is available to anyone with a phone and a plan.

Is Bitcoin Mining Popular Again?

By press release • April 26, 2025
One doesn’t have to be a Bitcoin Maximalist to realize that Bitcoin is the cornerstone of all crypto. Whenever the environment is good for the world’s no.1 cryptocurrency, it’s favorable for all the rest of them. But like any trend with high potential, in time, Bitcoin has become somewhat inaccessible. After its price had soared, Bitcoin quickly captured the attention of large companies, turning mining from an enthusiast-exclusive hobby into a massive business with huge mining farms working day and night. Mining Bitcoin: The Hidden Barriers to Entry What is mining Bitcoin really about? Without getting into the technicalities of it, mining is a process of minting new Bitcoin and rewarding it to users for solving complex math problems, using their hash power. Said hash power usually comes from either a powerful GPU or an even more powerful ASIC miner device. Those can be expensive, which is why average users don’t always view mining as a potential source of passive income . The initial investment, summed up with monthly payments for electricity and maintenance, makes it a high-risk operation without a guaranteed return. It doesn’t help that after each halving, rewards for the same amount of work are cut in half. While this is what keeps Bitcoin supply balanced, it renders a lot of mining equipment obsolete after only 4 years of service. In that sense, traditional mining requires more than just knowledge of the equipment and even more than being prepared to offer a hefty initial investment. It requires strategy and understanding of the trends as well as the ins and outs of the market. As a result, many users, even potentially interested in mining, had to resort to watching Bitcoin succeed from the sidelines, never having a chance to participate in its growth. There should be ways to remedy that. Mining Going Digital Digital mining is a relatively new approach based on something called Liquid Bitcoin Hashrate . Essentially, we are dealing with digital miners – virtual devices connected to real physical data centers. These devices can be upgraded, sold, and bought. The first collection of digital miners – The Greedy Machines – was released by GoMining in 2022. Digital Mining vs. Cloud Mining: What’s the Difference? While both digital mining and cloud mining aim to make Bitcoin mining more accessible, they differ significantly in structure, ownership, and long-term value. Understanding the differences between them can help users make smarter decisions when choosing how to mine. Cloud mining is a service-based model. Users rent a portion of mining power (hashrate) from a provider who owns and operates the physical equipment. In exchange, the user receives a share of the mining rewards. However, cloud mining contracts are often time-limited, opaque, and rigid. Users typically have no control over the equipment, can’t upgrade it, and are locked into contracts that may not be profitable if Bitcoin prices drop or network difficulty increases. Digital mining, introduces a more transparent and ownership-based alternative. Instead of renting power, users own a digital miner. This gives the user autonomy over their asset. Rewards are issued daily or weekly, based on the mining mode, and users can track their performance in real time via an app. One of the key differences lies in flexibility and strategy. With GoMining’s digital miners, users can reduce costs using GOMINING tokens, apply promo codes, or enhance earnings through perks like GoMiner avatars. This isn’t possible in traditional cloud mining setups, which tend to offer a fixed, “set-it-and-forget-it” approach. Ultimately, digital mining offers greater transparency, control, and earning potential. When it comes to passive income ideas , an ecosystem that empowers users to make strategic decisions and benefit from long-term participation in the mining economy is the best way to go. Understanding the GoMining Ecosystem The GoMining ecosystem is a powerful reimagining of how Bitcoin mining can work in today’s fast-paced, digital-first world. By removing the traditional barriers of entry, like expensive hardware, high electricity costs, and technical know-how, GoMining has made mining accessible to virtually anyone. Whether you’re a seasoned crypto enthusiast or a newcomer looking to generate passive income, GoMining offers a streamlined and user-friendly alternative to conventional mining operations. But GoMining is more than just a mining solution. It's a comprehensive platform that introduces multiple layers of utility, strategy, and gamification. One of its standout features is Miner Wars , a play-to-earn game where users form clans and compete for BTC and GOMINING token rewards. It blends entertainment with earnings, making mining more engaging and social. Another cornerstone of the ecosystem is the GoMining Launchpad – a crypto launchpad that provides early access to promising Bitcoin projects. This allows GOMINING token holders to diversify their holdings and invest in new crypto ventures ahead of public listings. It's an intelligent way to extend earning potential beyond traditional mining. GoMining also helps users save and optimize earnings through several integrated features. For example, paying maintenance fees with GOMINING tokens gives users up to 20% in discounts. Everything within the ecosystem is designed to work together: users mine BTC, earn and spend GOMINING tokens, use the app to manage activity, and grow their influence through the VIP and referral systems. The GOMINING token price is tied to the platform’s success, making it an integral part of the long-term value proposition. Bitcoin Mining in 2025? Today, in 2025, many newcomers to the crypto world wonder how to earn Bitcoin and what is Bitcoin Mining . The good news is, it’s not just by trading anymore. The landscape of mining has, indeed, changed.  But thanks to accessible platforms, like GoMining, mining Bitcoin is once again possible without large investments or extensive tech knowledge. There is a way to make decentralized finance appeal to more people, and digital mining is certainly one of those ways.
