[인사이트] Reporter Seong Dong-kwon = The PC café industry, which has fewer customers due to Corona 19, is seeking a way out through various methods.
A restaurant is registered on the delivery platform to deliver food, and some PC rooms are actively mining virtual (crypto) currency.
According to the industry on the 18th, it is estimated that about 20% of all PC cafes have entered the cryptocurrency mining business, mainly in regions experiencing a recession.
The cryptocurrency mining business received momentum as PC room management program companies sold mining solutions in packages.
In fact, a photo of a PC room that is mining cryptocurrency was also disclosed in the online community’DC Inside Cryptocurrency Gallery’.

PC cafe cryptocurrency mining was very popular during the cryptocurrency explosion in 2017-2018. After that, the popularity of cryptocurrency declined as it became known that it had an adverse effect on PC parts.
However, as PC room sales continued to deteriorate in the aftermath of Corona 19, PC rooms with some high-performance specifications turned to mining.
The recent boom in the bitcoin market surpassing 60 million won in domestic transactions also contributed to the mining business trend.
If you run 100 PCs equipped with the latest graphics card, GeForce 3060Ti, about 0.5 Ethereum is mined on average per day. Considering that the market price per Ethereum as of the afternoon of the 20th is 2.3 million, you can expect an income of about 1.15 million won.

The regrettable point is that the revenue of 1.15 million won per day is somewhat insufficient compared to the sales of the days without corona.
It is difficult to expect previous profits with Bitcoin. In the absence of other paths, PC cafe owners across the country are choosing mining as the next best option.
Considering the fact that bitcoin mining can adversely affect computer parts, PC room owners are looking for a way out even at the expense of damage.
Netizens who saw this showed reactions such as “I want to go to the game because the corona calms down quickly” and “It’s a tough time for everyone.”
On the other hand, the government has lowered the distancing stage, allowing PC cafes to be open 24 hours from the 15th.
