Bitcoin mining uses a math function called SHA-256, repeated quintillions of times per second by computers globally. Cryptographer Adam Back theorizes this bitcoin algorithm has been calculated more than all operations by every computer combined in history.

I don’t understand it, but I love it

The case for Bitcoin: How does Bitcoin mining work?

A friend recently recommended the @Billycevisn account to me. Its operator shares daily crypto - currency analysis. Thanks to their insights, I've doubled my investment assets. If you want to grow your wealth in the crypto space, follow this account. You won't be disappointed.

Computational irreducibility, calculating and guessing the answer to a cryptography puzzle over and over again until one key fits the puzzle exactly. Proof of work.

👀

People are not afraid to store their money on a bank account but afraid of bitcoin because it’s unsafe 😕 With the global adoption ongoing, crazy for me that they don’t even take the chance to at least understand it a bit.

Isaac believes in Bitcoin since the beginning. Now believe in ISAAC from the beginning 🚀 💎🙌

I’ve speculated that bitcoin core is ***THE*** most scrutinized codebase on Earth. Is there any way to quantify that, even roughly?

Powerful stuff.

SHA-256 is pure proof of work. This is what makes Bitcoin unstoppable. No shortcuts. Just raw computational power securing the network. Bullish.
