What is Bitcoin (BTC)?

Bitcoin was the first cryptocurrency. It allows users to send and receive digital money called bitcoins (with a lowercase b, or BTC). What makes bitcoin highly appealing is its inherent resistance to censorship, the impossibility of double-spending funds, and the ability to conduct transactions anytime and anywhere.
Bitcoin uses a SHA256 encryption algorithm and has a total of 21 million blocks. Typically, one block is generated every 10 minutes and the reward is cut in half every 210,000 blocks. Currently, most mining pools distribute transaction fees to miners in addition to block rewards.

How can I get started with BTC mining?

You can mine BTC with a miner, power source, network cable, and a device to manage the miner.
