Could you elaborate on the intricacies of Bitcoin mining and explain why it is considered challenging? I'm particularly interested in understanding the technical aspects such as the computational requirements, the scarcity of resources, and the competitive nature of the mining process. Additionally, how does the difficulty of mining impact the overall network and the value of bitcoins? Your insights would be greatly appreciated in simplifying this complex topic.
