Bitcoin (BTC) and cryptocurrencies, in general, are getting a lot of attention. Thanks to the bullish bitcoin cycle, there are a lot more investors that want to get bitcoin (BTC). But also, bitcoin (BTC) mining which is a crucial part of the blockchain network, is getting popular for big investors and businesses. In fact, around the world, huge bitcoin (BTC) farms are established with the only goal of getting bitcoin (BTC).
What is a Bitcoin (BTC) Farm?
First, let's explain what Bitcoin (BTC) mining is. Bitcoin mining is a process conducted by the miners, users on the network, that need to solve complex math puzzles to verify the transactions on the network, and by doing so, they secure the network and discover new bitcoin (BTC).
Their impact is crucial on the available supply of Bitcoin (BTC) as well as the overall safety of the network. For the work they do, they get a block reward when new transactions are added to the network. But, unfortunately for solo miners, it is very difficult to mine profitably, on your own, due to two reasons.
The first reason is bitcoin (BTC) halving, and an event programmed to happen after 210,000 bitcoins (BTC) are mined. It splits the block reward in half, which means the main prize gets smaller. The next reason is that the process of becoming more difficult when the collective computing power in the blockchain network increases. But, as the blockchain network keeps growing, you can only imagine that to succeed, you will need a lot of computing power. Therefore, a large investment in high-quality computer equipment is necessary.
The mining farms are developed in response to this situation. A mining farm is set in a large space, like a warehouse, and it uses special mining computer equipment, as well as air conditioning to prevent the equipment from overheating and other resources to achieve the best results from Bitcoin (BTC) mining. Some mining farms have their own investors, and they operate as start-ups.
Liaoning Province, Northeast China
This mining farm is based in Liaoning Province, northeast China. And it's one of the largest mining farms in the world. It operates in a huge space of a refurbished, abandoned factory. The computing power of the farm is 360,000 TH, and they can mine over 700 bitcoins (BTC) monthly.
So, it is understandable with this level of competition why so many people, especially those that don't have an option to join a farm or mining pool, invest in bitcoin (BTC) on online exchange sites.
Online exchange sites are widely accessible on mobile and desktop devices, and you only need to pick a trustworthy trading platform, make a deposit, and start trading.
