Bitcoin mining

snapshot:

1. The process of co-managing the network by processing transactions, providing encryption and

synchronising the system

2. ‘Miners’ operate in all countries and no individual has control over the network

3. This secures the entire network and ‘miners’ receive Bitcoins in exchange

5. New coins are created annually until 21M coins are in circulation

6. Once all coins are in circulation the miners are supported by transaction fees
