Here's a little-known fact about Bitcoin mining!
Did you know how long it takes for a Bitcoin mining rig to mine 1 BTC?
The answer is: 【13 years】
And that's under ideal conditions—no sudden power outages, no malfunctions, no difficulty increases, and no electricity costs.
Why does it take so long? Let me break it down for you:
🧊 Taking Avalon A1566HA as an example:
• Hashrate: 480T
• Total network hashrate: Approximately 1.08Z (= 1,080,000T)
• Block reward: 3.125 BTC
• Daily network output: 450 BTC/day
Converting to:
480T / 1.08Z ≈ 0.0000444 of the total network hashrate
Daily output ≈ 450 × 0.0000444 ≈ 0.01998 BTC/year
In other words:
A 480T machine would need approximately 13 years to mine 1 BTC.
And this is under "perfect conditions"—
It doesn't include:
❌ Electricity costs
❌ Hosting fees
❌ Mining farm costs
❌ Equipment depreciation
❌ Continuously increasing difficulty
In reality, it will only take longer, not shorter.
This is why experienced miners never try to achieve a miracle with a single machine:
• They compete on electricity prices; the cheaper the electricity, the greater the advantage.
• They compete on hosting costs.
• They compete on scale and efficiency.
• They compete on the long-term cycle, not on getting rich overnight.
True mining is never about fantasizing about getting rich quick,
but rather a race against time, cost, and difficulty.
If you've always thought "one mining rig mines one Bitcoin every few months,"
today might make you think twice.
