How do you expect someone who doesn't have access to banking to set be able to set up a mining rig?

I'm not saying having a bank account is necessary, but the life conditions that prevent bank access (poverty, homelessness, addictions, abuse, violence, etc) will certainly prevent anyone from mining/

There are many examples of Venezuelans doing just this.
