Ever wondered how much Bitcoin mining power it actually takes to mine a Bitcoin block?
Most people assume there’s some magic hashrate number where mining a block becomes "likely." The reality is much more interesting. Bitcoin mining is a probability game, and even a tiny home miner like a Bitaxe has a chance of finding the next block.
In this video, I break down the math behind Bitcoin mining odds, show you how to calculate your chances of finding a block, and reveal how many miners it would take to reach different probability targets. We compare everything from a Bitaxe Gamma to industrial ASIC miners like the Antminer S21 XP and explore what it would actually cost to achieve a meaningful chance of mining a Bitcoin block.
You’ll learn:
• How Bitcoin mining probability works
• How to calculate your odds of finding a block
• How many Bitaxes it takes for a 1% chance in one year
• How many S21 XPs it takes for a 50% chance in one year
• Why people solo mine despite the odds
• The role of learning, hobby mining, and the Bitcoin lottery
