Here's a little-known fact about Bitcoin mining!
Do you know how long it takes for a single Bitcoin miner to mine 1 BTC?
The answer is 【13 years】
And this is under ideal conditions—no sudden power outages, no hardware failures, no difficulty spikes, and excluding electricity costs.
Why does it take so long? Let me break it down for you.
🧊 Take the Avalon A1566HA as an example:
• Hash rate: 480T
• Total network hash rate: approximately 1.08Z (= 1,080,000T)
• Block reward: 3.125 BTC
• Daily network output: 450 BTC / day
Calculating:
480T / 1.08Z ≈ 0.0000444 of the total network hash rate
Daily yield ≈ 450 × 0.0000444 ≈ 0.01998 BTC/year
In other words:
A 480T machine would take about 13 years to mine 1 BTC.
And this is under “perfect conditions”—not accounting for:
❌ Electricity costs
❌ Hosting fees
❌ Mining farm expenses
❌ Equipment depreciation
❌ Increasing difficulty
In reality, it will take even longer, never shorter.
That’s why veteran miners never rely on a single machine for a miracle:
• It’s about electricity prices—cheaper power gives a significant advantage
• It’s about hosting costs
• It’s about scale and efficiency
• It’s about long-term cycles, not quick riches
Real mining has never been about fantasizing about instant wealth,
but about racing against time, costs, and difficulty.
If you’ve always thought “one miner can mine a big block in a few months,”
today might make you pause.
