You can also buy VIP with ingame money like me.. don't need to spend IRL money
its about 30 mil ingame money.. and its against the rules to scam VIP sell,so its safe
and its worth it if you are an active player
The hype for miner will likely die down soon and return to normal.
You should be happy about everyone being miner, because you can pretty much be any job you want to be! (except hitman, just don't...)
