Could you explain to me how Bitcoin mining works? I've heard about it a lot recently, but I don't really understand the process. Is it like gold mining, where people go out and dig for it? Or is it more of a virtual process? And what does mining actually accomplish? I'm really interested in learning more about this topic, so could you break it down for me in a simple and understandable way? How is Bitcoin mined?

These networked computers, referred to as miners, play a crucial role in processing these transactions. Miners are incentivized to do so by receiving a payment in Bitcoin for their efforts.
