In order for the Bitcoin network to function as a payment network, miners work to add blocks full of data—information about transactions—to a long-running, public ledger known as a blockchain. As Bitcoin has grown since it launched in 2009, it has become a very big—and very secure—computer network. It is a lot more difficult to add new blocks, and mining operations are now forced to use a lot of energy to do so. Bitcoin mining is a big business in the U.S and now the President-elect last year said—along with plenty of other pro-crypto pledges—that he wanted all remaining coins to be mined on American soil. Do you think that this is possible ?
