Argentine mines cryptocurrencies to build his house
STORY: This young Argentine managed to build a house
thanks to cryptocurrency mining
Location: Escobar, Argentina
Sebastian Carsorio started learning how to mine digital currency
after he assembled a computer from donated hardware components
(Sebastian Carsorio / Crypto miner) "A year and eight months had passed, and I was tight with money for rent, electricity, and water. I began to look for information on how much cryptocurrencies, like bitcoin, were worth because at that time I was not mining bitcoin. I only mined what I could with the hardware I had."
Carsorio has made over $180,000 since he began mining crypto
and went from living in a cardboard house
to buying land and building a one-floor house
"I will keep mining because it still serves as a method for saving. So it's there, always active, because mining saved me several times when my budget was tight.”
