No, you were given a piece of a worthless token by the mining pool. If you ever want to get anything with that worthless token somebody else has to lose money. That somebody makes the bet that another somebody will be an idiot and lose more money so he can get his back.

I bought gold with the crypto haha. Mined me up some gold with a computer.

I'm hoping the gold appreciates in value over time, but I also just wanted to see if I could directly get gold with the crypto and I could.
