How Does Bitcoin Mining Work? | Ep. 8 — Sat Chats Short Stack
Description
Where does Bitcoin come from? It’s not printed like dollars—it’s mined. But don’t picture shovels and gold pans. Instead, powerful computers race to solve puzzles, and the winner gets new Bitcoin. Sounds crazy, right?
In this Sat Chats Short Stack, we break down Bitcoin mining in less than 10 minutes, the same time it takes to create a new block.
What you’ll learn in this episode:
✅ What Bitcoin mining actually is (no tech talk, just the basics)
✅ Why computers are “guessing” numbers to earn Bitcoin
✅ How mining keeps Bitcoin fair and secure
✅ Why Bitcoin is backed by energy and work, not trust
