What is Bitcoin Mining?

Bitcoin mining is to verify the bitcoin transactions and add them into blocks to add them further into a chain of blocks known as the blockchain. In the process of bitcoin mining, the bitcoin network is running. The miners are the ones who solve the complicated mathematical problems to mine a block. To solve complex problems, the miners use the best mining equipment. Many miners gather to solve the complex problems, and the miners who first solve the problems get the reward of newly created bitcoins. The block reward is given to encourage the miners to do their work and putting efforts.

The maximum mining capacity is handed over to large companies. This is done to place big mining farms in places where the cost of electricity is less and to make it available to ordinary people. After understanding the process of bitcoin mining, we will know whether bitcoin mining is still profitable?

Is mining bitcoin still profitable as of 2020?

The answer to the above question is that the profitability of mining bitcoin depends on several factors. As discussed above, the complexity of mining bitcoins increases, which also means that the hash power is increasing. This also indicates that miners are carrying out their work, and there are lots of investments made in mining. Now the question is whether mining is profitable to you. To calculate the profitability of bitcoin mining, we will discuss some factors, which are as follows:

Price of electricity

Electricity is one of the biggest expenses for bitcoin miners. If miners plan to mine bitcoins in a region where electricity price is high, mining will never be profitable. It is always suggested to mine bitcoins in regions where the price of electricity is low, as then only it will be profitable and beneficial.

Price of hardware

The mining hardware plays a crucial role in mining and its profitability. If you spend your money buying the best mining hardware, you will get more returns on your investment. It is advised not to sacrifice your mining hardware. If you spend less money on less efficient hardware, you can never win the bitcoin reward and return on your investment.

Efficiency of hardware

It is important to get efficient mining hardware. The different mining hardware has distinct mining power to consumption ratio of electricity. If you spend good money on getting efficient mining hardware, it will consume less electricity and reduce your expenses.

Mining difficulty is current and in the future.

The main issue in today’s time for miners is difficulty in mining bitcoins. Before you enter into the mining cryptocurrencies, you must pay attention to mining’s difficult change. Sometimes, there are decreases in the difficulty level of mining, but still, it always increases. Therefore, you must know about the mining difficulty that is currently and that will be in the future.

Time left in next bitcoin halving

Since 2009 it was a protocol set by the founder of bitcoin that bitcoin mining’s reward will be halved every four years. The block reward at that time was 50 bitcoins, and as of 2020, it has become 6.25 bitcoins. The last bitcoin will be mined till 2140, and therefore you must consider the profitability of bitcoin mining by considering the time left in a halving of bitcoin.
