I want to know if it was possible to mine Bitcoin in 2009, the year it was created. Could people have been mining bitcoin back then?

However, in 2012, the mining reward was halved, marking the first of several such reductions scheduled to occur periodically.

After the 2012 halving, miners began earning only 25 BTC per block, a significant decrease from the initial reward.

Initially, when Bitcoin was first mined in 2009, miners would receive a significant reward of 50 BTC for successfully mining one block.

This generous reward was a key incentive for miners to contribute their computing power to the network and help secure the blockchain.
