The world of Bitcoin has always been dramatic, and a recent astonishing story proves this once again. An independent miner with only 5TH/s of computing power created a miracle by successfully mining a Bitcoin block and earning a reward of 3.129 BTC, which is approximately equivalent to $350,000 at the current market price.
The occurrence of this event can be described as a miracle. Considering that the total computing power of the Bitcoin network is approaching the astronomical figure of 1000EH/s, the computing power of this miner is almost negligible in the entire network. From a probabilistic perspective, the odds of such success are even lower than winning the lottery jackpot, and it can be said to be a true "small against big".
This rare event occurred on the DATUM platform, highlighting once again the core characteristic of the Bitcoin network: regardless of the size of the participants, everyone has the opportunity to become the next lucky one. This is the uniqueness of the Proof of Work (PoW) mechanism, which maintains the decentralized nature of the network through fair probability rules.
However, we must remain clear-headed: this extremely low-probability event should not be considered as an investment basis. In the current highly competitive mining environment, the vast majority of independent miners find it difficult to achieve stable profits, more often incurring costs and risks. Nevertheless, this case at least proves that the Bitcoin network is not completely monopolized by large mining pools and still retains opportunities for all participants.
The characteristic of the Bitcoin network may be its most attractive feature: each hash operation contains the unknown, and each attempt is full of possibilities. This story may inspire more people to pay attention to and participate in the Bitcoin ecosystem, anticipating the next story that changes fate.
However, it is important to remember that the essence of mining is a highly competitive process that requires consideration of various factors such as electricity costs and equipment investment. For ordinary investors, it is wise to take a rational view and participate cautiously.
