Can someone please explain how to start mining bitcoins/crypto etc? Is it just a case of getting a good computer, running a programme on it and leaving it going 24/7?

It's too late to make any real money doing that.
Modern Bitcoin miners use a botnet of infected computers to mine.
Even just as a side biz for a few hundered a month?

Especially.
You'd be spending more money on electricity to run your computer than you'd make mining.

You would make more money if you walked around the city collecting change that people have dropped.
Fair enough thanks guys, back to trading shitcoins then.
Home mining is pretty much dying and I hate this fact. Mining is now centralized in China with their free electricity and gigantic mining farms.
However, I suggest everyone to try it for educational purposes of how it works, how bitcoins are created, how you trade your mined coins and so on.
