The very concept of mining is something that not many are well-versed with and also has posed as a quite a significant hurdle in being aware of the technicalities of digital currencies.
The computer program is such that it connects to a network where every other miner on that network is trying to solve the same puzzle.
Now here is the catch – as the network brings together all the miners that aim at getting the puzzle solved, the Bitcoin becomes increasingly difficult to mine.
What is worth noting is that – higher the hash rate, the more puzzles the computer program will successfully solve.
What everything boils down to is that – Bitcoin mining holds the potential to pay off in the long run, but there is no guarantee that it ever will.
