Ishan and Aanya have set a objective to fund their school training with their earnings

Just seven months again, two younger Indian American siblings began mining cryptocurrency as a interest. Today, 14-year-old Ishan and nine-year-old Aanya have set a objective to fund their school training with their earnings - about $30,000 a month.

How had been they launched to the concept? As they converse to NDTV, Ishan remembers, "In February, I heard about bitcoin and cryptocurrency spiking up. I really wanted to invest in some... but I didn't have enough money to buy. So instead of buying full, I decided to just buy the equipment and earn it instead. And now (after having come this far), I am very proud of it."

Speaking about what bought her fascinated, nine-year-old Aanya says, "We both came up with the idea together. When he thought of it, I was really interested. I helped my brother mine and buy the equipment."

Cryptocurrency mining isn't any kid's play, it's usually stated. Was it intimidating for the 2 of them? No, says Ishan. "Actually, if you were to really learn about mining, see a lot of YouTube tutorials, just read some articles. That's how I started. You need a graphics cards, software for those who find numbers difficult."

Simplifying it additional, he says, "Cryptocurrency is just like any other form of currency... it works like dollar. You can use it to buy stuff and it works the exact same way."

Both of them wish to put this cash to good use, they are saying. "We want to use this money for college," says Anaya. "I want to go to the Cornell University and become a doctor."

Ishan calls it a "learning experience". "In the start," Ishan remembers, "We were making no money. We only made $3 a day. I transformed my gaming computer to a mining computer. But slowly as I put my mind to it, I got better. I am today making 35,000 dollars a month. I am really proud."

"But I was equally proud when I was making $3 a month, because I knew it was not a money-making thing but more a learning experience. That's the favourite part of this whole business."
