I just invested $10,000 into this...
I'm pretty excited about my newest passive income addition.

I am really into Bitcoin mining.
In the past year, I have invested over $100,000 into it.
However, I recognize the problem. It’s not easy to figure out or to set up.
Bitcoin mining at your house is tough. You need the right power source (220V) and you need a way to deal with something that sounds like a jet engine and puts out heat like one (3,000 watts).
Not only do you need cheap electricity for that 3,000-watt machine, but you need to find a legit company to buy it from.
Well, now there are opportunities that solve this problem.
A few months back I found a crypto project called Alpha Shares Mining Co.
With Alpha Shares, you buy an NFT, they use that money to buy machines and set up mining containers, and then you get paid out a proportional share based on how many NFTs you own.
It’s a REALLY passive way to mine Bitcoin.
I’ve been chatting with the team behind Alpha Shares for the past few months and I’ve been impressed.
I actually invested $2,000 when I first found the project… but once they started doing walkthroughs of their actual mining facility with the machines operating, I invested another $8,000.
It’s one thing to talk about successfully setting up a BTC mining operation and it’s a totally different one to actually do it.
So when I saw they had the machines up and running and were going to continue expanding, I got excited.
They are currently selling their Tier 1 mining NFTs but will be closing the sale on October 13th.
The next time they open a round of NFT sales the price will go up by $50 per NFT.
So if you are interested, now is the time to check them out before they sell out and before the price goes up.
Alpha Shares Mining Co. has its operation down in Paraguay. They actually moved team members there to be full-time managers of the operation.
They chose Paraguay because they can get an amazing electricity rate of $0.03/kWh… the US average electric rate is $0.23/kWh for comparison.
This lets them mine BTC at a VERY cheap rate and be super profitable.
So how much can you earn?
For each Tier 1 NFT, the current earning estimate is 0.0002376 BTC per month before operation costs or about $6.60 at today’s BTC price.
However, there are two really important things to consider.
1) As more tiers are sold, there will be more mining machines added and the NFTs will earn more BTC per month.
For example, once all 4 tiers are sold out, the estimated payout will be 0.0004755 BTC per month or $13.28 (at today’s price).
2) And again, that’s at today’s BTC price. This is why I’m excited about Bitcoin mining. If you start today, your BTC could be worth a lot more later.
At $100,000 Bitcoin price, each of these NFTs will be mining $47.18 per month in BTC (at today’s difficulty).
So if you bought 10 of the NFTs for $2500 and you mine and hold your BTC rewards, you could be making $471.80 per month retroactively.
Of course, the price of BTC might go much higher and these NFTs might be slightly more efficient or less efficient, but you get the general idea. There are no earning guarantees in crypto!
You have to have a long time mindset with this stuff. That’s how I’ve made all my money.
What about the risks?
Well, like all of crypto, there is definitely risk. BTC could stay in a bear market for a long time and these NFTs could take a long time to pay off.
There could be machine failures or issues in the country they have chosen. They do have insurance for all this and other measures in place, but life is unpredictable.
So while I think there is real risk here, I think it is far less than many other “passive income” projects that promise crazy returns with little real-world utility or assets… unlike Bitcoin mining. That’s why I’ve invested into it with my own money.
I’m also sharing this because I have invested in quite a few Bitcoin miners and I see this as a great alternative AND a great addition.
I want to diversify my BTC mining operation.
I’m pretty excited about Alpha Shares Mining Co. I think this is a real opportunity and that’s why I started this newsletter.
To share what I am investing in and to share passive income ideas. This is both of those.
I plan to do more breakdowns of opportunities like this that I am investing in.
