Here's a little knowledge about Bitcoin mining for you:
Approximately 450 Bitcoins are mined worldwide each day.
And the real key isn't "who mines the most," but "who is mining."
Because the distribution of global computing power is highly concentrated: a few countries control the vast majority of mining capacity.
Places like China, the United States, Kazakhstan, Russia, and Iceland share some notable characteristics:
• Low electricity prices (low generation costs, possibly more subsidies)
• Cold climate / good cooling conditions (reducing mining hardware cooling costs)
• Stable energy and resources (sustainable power supply, convenient grid access)
In fact, large-scale mining farms are often not located in city centers but hidden in deserts, near hydroelectric plants, or deep in the deserts:
Next to power plants, mining rigs operate day and night, forming an "invisible ocean of computing power."
Most ordinary people can only sit in front of screens, watching prices fluctuate, thinking mining is a personal activity.
In reality, it's more like a national resource competition:
Controlling a mining farm = controlling computing power, controlling computing power = controlling influence.
Therefore, rather than focusing on "how much has been mined," it's more important to pay attention to who is mining, where they are mining, and the geopolitical resource game behind it.
