Mining is the process of verifying Bitcoin transactions and securing the blockchain using computing power.

[{"selector":"#anim-d55c07d3-09c8-4c26-9853-d2e1b3fe3ec7 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-31.287202267403853%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-176ab0e4-bffb-4370-bb3a-cdea4b9573a3","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-9660f329-8255-46f5-80b3-fcc6bab748ee","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(120.61855%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Special hardware (ASIC miners), cheap electricity, cooling systems, and technical knowledge.

[{"selector":"#anim-a4e6415a-2b46-49a3-b9c6-63f29796d0b6 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-29.63534903391351%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-cf118f9a-be0c-46f6-a752-830cdf7be2fc","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-c65c57ac-dc1f-4c98-8b09-5f5356cb11cf","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(120.61855%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Home mining is rarely profitable due to high electricity costs and competition from large mining farms.

[{"selector":"#anim-31083885-c84f-4daa-a515-a35a2524d887 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-31.249999886225726%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-71d2042f-aafb-4483-837e-7142507de8c5","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-12e5bd66-fe04-4088-bb13-5fca7de0c6e6","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(120.61855%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Individuals can join mining pools to combine resources and share rewards.

Lower electricity rates = better mining returns. Location plays a big role.

Mining difficulty adjusts regularly and is currently very high—making solo mining very hard.

Some try cloud mining, but beware of scams—always research the provider.

Yes, common people can mine, but success is limited. Research, budget, and patience are key!
