Yeah, like that dude from Norway, who used 100$ in bitcoins back, when it started, now, back 1 month ago, he visited the site again and saw he had 1m $ there
Like FML

Teach me how to mine Bitcoins. We can start a pool or whatever.

There are tons of alternatives, some better than the rest. The two I suggested were the most profitable ones I've used so far.

How do you get started with this stuff?

I've been kinda curious also. The only thing that I know is that each bitcoin is worth hundreds and they can be used for anything. Drugs, child porn, assassinations etc.

Well first you can rig your GPU or CPU (Whichever has more power) into encrypting data that chips away at digital "blocks" which contain bitcoins, kinda like mining ores in real life or in an MMO if you will, but it's highly not recommended using your own PC. It's better to get an ASIC rig to do that for you but the issue is that nearly all worldwide ASIC towers/miners are configured to bitcoin only and cost a LOT of money if you want to MAKE a lot of money, so you'll have to manually rewrite it to mine something else, like litecoin or altcoin.

This sounds pretty risky

Killing out the real money and has no taxes and shit like that.

For people wanting to start mining i would recommend you mine litecoins since it's much easier and you might actually earn cash. be warned though you will need a high end gpu or multiple to be able to make anything.

Just calculated, using the method I can do (by investing only the money I have on hand), it would take me 6 years to make like $98.51. My computer also might fry. Doesn't seem worth it for me.

If only 1 million it would be less that $100 cuz $100 when it started is now 100 million :/
