Someone asked me if someone can mine Bitcoin as other cryptocurrencies. I initially said no, but the person seems to be curious; he further askedif it used to be like other cryptocurrencies. I told him I was not sure about it. I have to find out as a learner.
I did little research about it.
According to the research, one could mine Bitcoin easily before, but it used to be by desktop or laptop, not with an Android phone, as people used to mine other cryptocurrencies like Pi.
But now it is very complex.
Bitcoin mining requires high energy and the use of special hardware known as ASICs (Application Specific Integrated Circuits), and Bitcoin uses a very strong algorithm (SHA 256) that needs high powered computers to solve complex puzzles and very difficult mathematical problems. According to my findings.
Even powerful laptops and phones cannot mine Bitcoin effectively anymore, talk less of phones.
It has turned into an industrial level operation thing. Although,
There were suggestions that if one wants to earn bitcoin, there are various sites where one can register and begin to earn coins through watching ads, completing surveys, clicking links, etc.

https://btcclicks.comI know most of us are not sure if we were asked this kind of question. I wish to acknowledge to us that Bitcoin mining is complex compared to other cryptocurrencies but cannot be done with a phone like other cryptocurrencies but can be earned by playing games, clicking on links, or through Bitcoin faucet sites.
