So far we have an insight into this appealing yet a speculative asset known as blockchain and its technology. But let’s move a step ahead- Blockchain beyond Wall Street, in which we shall be discussing about block chain is not just all about Wall Street but its much more than that.

Bitcoin Mining

Bitcoin mining is the process to create new bitcoins to solve complicated statistical issues that verify transactions in the currency. When a bitcoin is mined, the miner receives a prefixed amount of bitcoin.

Bitcoin is a cryptocurrency which has gained popularity due to its volatility and increasing value since it was first launched in 2009.As the prices of cryptocurrency and Bitcoin specifically were on a horse ride in the past few years, it’s  quite understandable that the overall investors interest in mining has skyrocketed. But, the prospects for Bitcoin mining are not good for many due to its complexity and undesirable costs.

Therefore, its very important that blockchains should be designed, industrialized and institutionalized under proper legal guidance and leadership.
