reporter: *quickly losing interest* so its like a really complex math problem?
pleb: I mean... technically it's just subtraction... you make sure the hash bits are-

To be fair: You do have to solve complex mathematical equations to see if the guess is right.
It's not the worst oversimplification with Bitcoin.
Yes! This was super confusing for me
Why ppl spread lies??
