It’s technically still possible to mine Bitcoin, but not with a normal PC anymore. Today the mining difficulty is so high that only specialized hardware called ASIC miners can compete. These machines are very powerful but also expensive and consume a lot of electricity.
If you’re just getting started, home mining won’t really be profitable because your electricity bill will usually be higher than the Bitcoin you earn. That’s why most small miners either:
Join a mining pool (to share rewards), or
Experiment with altcoins that can still be mined on GPUs to learn how mining works.
For most beginners, it’s cheaper and easier to just buy Bitcoin directly instead of trying to mine it at home.
