Bitcoin mining is the process of creating new Bitcoins by solving complicated math problems that verify transactions in the currency. When a bitcoin is successfully mined, the miner receives a predetermined amount of Bitcoin as a reward for validating the network.
This process solves the ‘
double spending’ problem which was a critical issue in developing the blockchain. If you had $20 in your wallet and you sent $20 you should now have $0. Double spending is when the network can't confirm that you sent the $20, meaning you can send it again.
Since Bitcoin mining is extremely expensive, costing between
$15k-$35k per Bitcoin mined, many Bitcoin miners are popular in regions where energy cost is the lowest.
As of right the countries responsible for the most amount of money are the US , Kazakhstan , Russia , and Canada , but up until this year China was the world’s largest Bitcoin miner.
