Mining is an energy intensive process that verifies transactions on the blockchain network. The lucky miner adds the verified block and receives a predetermined amount of bitcoin as reward.
It can require a large up-front investment in hardware and ongoing electricity overconsumption. Whether it’s worthwhile depends on your risk tolerance and how much time you’re willing to spend maximizing profitability.
