Excuse me, I'm curious about the operations of Bitcoin mining. Can you please clarify for me when exactly does the "cave" or the mining facility typically open for operations? I understand Bitcoin mining is a 24/7 process, but I'm wondering if there's a specific time of day when miners typically start or stop their operations, or if it's a continuous, round-the-clock endeavor. Your insights would be greatly appreciated.
