Since 2009, a lot has happened to Bitcoin blocks. Instead of one transaction, they have thousands. Mine them takes ten minutes.
After three “halvings” of the reward, which take place about every four years according to a fixed timetable, miners are paid 6.25 BTC.
The Bitcoin blockchain contained around 750,000 blocks as of December 2022. They create a continuous series that dates all the way back to the Genesis Block, with each one expressly addressing the one before it.
Despite being the largest coin by market capitalization, the value of Bitcoin has declined along with the economic downturn and high inflation. At the time of writing, BTC is trading at $16,632.
