Cryptocurrency mining is the process in which transactions between users are verified and added into the blockchain public ledger. ... Bitcoin mining is based on a consensus algorithm called Proof of Work.
In the emerging global crypto economy, crypto mining is probably going to remain and even become more profitable in the upcoming years. ... In Bitcoin's case, halvings occur once every 210,000 blocks — roughly every four years — until the maximum supply of 21 million Bitcoin has been mined.
Regardless of the number of miners, it still takes 10 minutes to mine one Bitcoin. At 600 seconds (10 minutes), all else being equal it will take 72,000 GW (or 72 Terawatts) of power to mine a Bitcoin using the average power usage provided by ASIC miners.
