If you ever wondered why #bitcoin miners are so intent on using energy to power the network and continue to compete with one another to secure blocks its because they get paid in what is known as the block subsidy -->> https://thebitcoinmanual.com/articles/btc-block-subsidy/ The block subsidy is the amount of new bitcoin minted in each block. Each block produced and added to the blockchain allows the creator of the block to mint a certain amount of new bitcoin based on the current issuance rate decided by the bitcoin protocol and enforced by bitcoin nodes.
