Bitcoin mining captivates many people, including those inexperienced in the field who wish to enter the crypto world without having to invest heavily.  The problem, however, is that mining Bitcoin without investing a bit is practically impossible.  In fact, to be honest, it is possible to try mining Bitcoin with low-cost equipment, but it is practically impossible to achieve results. The real risk is spending money on energy costs without earning anything, or almost nothing.  The situation changes only if one is willing to invest a bit.  Bitcoin Mining Bitcoin mining is the process through which new BTC transactions are validated and added to the blockchain. In turn, the blockchain is the ledger that contains all valid transactions.  Mining Bitcoin therefore means participating in this process, and it can essentially be done in three ways.  The first and more complex option is to equip oneself with a highly powerful mining rig to independently attempt to validate blocks and collect the reward.  The second option, quite complex but simpler than the first, is to equip oneself with a medium-low power setup and contribute its computing power to a mining group (called a pool).  The third, which is not recommended, is to invest money in so-called cloud mining.  The goal remains the same: to find, block by block, the unique hash that validates it, allowing the block to be added to the blockchain and to collect the reward.  This hash changes from block to block, and to find it, billions upon billions of hashes must be generated every second, verifying for each one that it is indeed the correct one.  Approximately every 10 minutes, a new block is mined, and the process starts all over again.  The First Method It should be noted right away that to successfully mine Bitcoin solo, large-scale…
