Mao Lal shares his initial journey into the world of Bitcoin mining and how he started off in the first place

Mao Lal has gradually become one of the most well-known names in the world of Bitcoin mining over the recent years, along with being the owner of several popular trading companies. It can be inferred without a shred of a doubt that Mao Lal is a self-made man and has worked hard and smart to get to where he is now. He shares with us his story of how he got interested in finding out more about a new digital and decentralized currency, back in 2010.

“In 2010 I started mining Bitcoins with my own computer. At first I didn’t realize how easy it is to become part of the network and benefit from it. My enthusiasm when I was able to mine the first Bitcoins after only a few hours was huge,” Mao shares.

It was at that moment that Mao realized his passion and never-ending urge to explore more about the world of Bitcoin mining. This brings us to the present, where Mao is a proud CEO of a Bitcoin mining farm in Norway, all credited to his sheer will and determination, which helped him gain as much knowledge and experience that he could gather over the years to get to where he is now.

“Today, about ten years later, I continue to mine Bitcoin. Of course, I have long since stopped making a profit with my work computer. But I have used the time to build up my own mining farm in Norway,” Mao concludes.

Mao Lal’s journey of 10 years, from a curious mind to a successful entrepreneur, is an inspiration to all youngsters as he teaches us that starting somewhere and small is what truly matters
