noun | dif·i·kul·tee
Difficulty is like the final boss of Bitcoinmining - it's a measure of how hard it is to find a new block on the blockchain, based on the total computing power of the network. It's like trying to solve a Rubik's Cube, but every time you get close, someone comes and scrambles it up again.
Example
"I tried miningBitcoin on my laptop back in the day, but the difficulty got so high that I was barely making enough to cover my electricity bill. Now I just buy it on Coinbase like a normie and cry myself to sleep every night."
"The difficulty adjustment is like the blockchain's way of saying 'fuck you' to miners who try to game the system. It's like a built-in cheat code that ensures fair play and prevents 51% attacks. Satoshi was playing 4D chess while y'all were still playing checkers."
