Bitcoin mining is performed by high-powered computers that
solve complex computational math problems; these problems are so complex that
they cannot be solved by hand and are complicated enough to tax even incredibly
powerful computers. Buy

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Bitcoin
mining is the process of creating new bitcoin by solving a computational
puzzle.
- Bitcoin
mining is necessary to maintain the ledger of transactions upon which
bitcoin is based.
- Miners
have become very sophisticated over the last several years using complex
machinery to speed up mining operations.
The result of bitcoin mining is
twofold. First, when computers solve these complex math problems on the bitcoin
network, they produce new bitcoin (not unlike when a mining operation extracts
gold from the ground). And second, by solving computational math problems, bitcoin miners make the
bitcoin payment network trustworthy and secure by verifying its transaction
information.
When someone sends bitcoin anywhere,
it's called a transaction. Transactions made in-store or online are documented
by banks, point-of-sale systems, and physical receipts. Bitcoin miners achieve
the same thing by clumping transactions together in “blocks” and adding them to
a public record called the “blockchain.” Nodes then maintain records of those
blocks so that they can be verified into the future.
When bitcoin miners add a new block of
transactions to the blockchain, part of their job is to make sure that those
transactions are accurate. In particular, bitcoin miners make sure that bitcoin
is not being duplicated, a unique quirk of digital currencies called
“double-spending.” With printed currencies, counterfeiting is always an issue.
But generally, once you spend $20 at the store, that bill is in the clerk’s
hands. With digital currency, however, it's a different story.
Digital information can be reproduced
relatively easily, so with Bitcoin and other digital currencies, there is a
risk that a spender can make a copy of their bitcoin and send it to another
party while still holding onto the original.
Rewarding Bitcoin Miners:
With as many as 300,000 purchases and sales occurring in a
single day, verifying each of those transactions can be a lot of work for
miners. As compensation for their efforts, miners are awarded bitcoin whenever
they add a new block of transactions to the blockchain.
The amount of new bitcoin released with each mined block is
called the "block reward." The block reward is halved every 210,000
blocks (or roughly every 4 years). In 2009, it was 50. In 2013, it was 25, in
2018 it was 12.5, and in May of 2020, it was halved to 6.25.
This system will continue until around 2040. At that point,
miners will be rewarded with fees for processing transactions that network
users will pay. These fees ensure that miners still have the incentive to mine
and keep the network going. The idea is that competition for these fees will
cause them to remain low after halvings are finished.
These halvings reduce the rate at which new coins are
created and, thus, lower the available supply. This can cause some implications
for investors, as other assets with low supply—like gold—can have high demand
and push prices higher. At this rate of halving, the total number of bitcoins
in circulation will reach a limit of 21 million, making the currency entirely
finite and potentially more valuable over time.
