What this level teaches 🧠

  • Bitcoin automatically adjusts mining difficulty every 2,016 blocks.
  • If blocks are found too fast, difficulty increases. Too slow, it decreases.
  • This keeps block times at approximately 10 minutes regardless of mining power.

The difficulty adjustment is one of Bitcoin's most important features — it ensures the network stays predictable even as miners join or leave.
