I’d argue that the best way to get Bitcoin, while simultaneously supporting the blockchain as much as possible, is through mining.
Bitcoin in its true form cannot exist without mining because #Bitcoin cannot exist outside of its blockchain…which requires mining to operate. So mining is productive because it provides for Bitcoin’s continued existence.
Is it any wonder then that Bitcoin’s hash rate is jumping so much? Bitcoin’s value and desirability have seen massive increases over the years, and there’s a community of millions of people and businesses working to build the #BTC blockchain.
I wrote an article a while ago teaching the basics of Bitcoin mining. Check it out:
