#ApprendreGratuitement $BTC $BNB What is Bitcoin mining?
Mining is the process of verifying and adding new transactions to the blockchain:
Miners use super powerful computers to solve complicated mathematical problems. This verification system is called Proof of Work (PoW).
The first miner to crack the puzzle adds a new block and earns new bitcoins as a reward.
Mining secures the network and ensures that only legitimate transactions are recorded.
Mining rewards are halved approximately every four years, which slows down the creation of bitcoins until the cap of 21 million is reached.
Many cryptocurrencies have been lost over the years, so the total amount of bitcoins actually available is much lower than 21 million, further enhancing its scarcity.
