⛏️ WHAT IS BITCOIN MINING? Bitcoin mining is how new BTC is created and transactions are verified. Powerful computers (ASIC miners) compete to solve complex cryptographic puzzles — the winner adds the next block to the blockchain and earns newly minted Bitcoin as a reward. Key facts: • Only 21 million BTC will ever exist • A new block is added roughly every 10 minutes • Miners secure the network using SHA-256 proof-of-work Mining keeps Bitcoin decentralised and secure — no bank, no middleman, just code and computing power. #Bitcoin #BitcoinMining #Crypto #BTC #Blockchain #LearnCrypto #Zimbuck
