· Key points: Bitcoin produces a block every 10 minutes on average, and mining difficulty is adjusted every 2,016 blocks.
· How to understand it: Proof of Work maintains the ledger through real investments in computing power and electricity. To tamper with historical records, someone would need to control most of the network’s computing power, which would be extremely costly.
· Note: When discussing which chain is more secure, don’t compare consensus mechanisms alone; validator distribution and software implementation also matter.
