Could you elaborate on the feasibility of mining Bitcoin using a personal computer? I've heard that the process requires significant computational power and resources. Given the current state of Bitcoin mining, would a standard desktop or laptop be capable of effectively mining the cryptocurrency? Additionally, what are the potential challenges and limitations of mining Bitcoin on a personal computer, considering the increasing difficulty of the mining process and the competitive nature of the industry? Is it still worthwhile to attempt mining Bitcoin with limited resources?
