As a cryptocurrency enthusiast, I'm curious to understand the frequency of bitcoin block mining. Could you elaborate on how often a new block is added to the bitcoin blockchain? I've heard about the concept of block time, but I'm interested in the actual interval or regularity behind this process. Additionally, does the difficulty level of mining have any impact on the frequency of block mining? I'd appreciate a concise yet comprehensive explanation of this aspect of bitcoin mining.
