My educational segment of the week: how the #Bitcoin network adjusts the mining difficulty level every two weeks to mine a block every ten minutes.

- The network recalibrates every 2016 blocks, about every two weeks

- Keeps new blocks arriving every ten minutes, no matter the number of miners

- Current difficulty is 130 trillion, up 50% in the past year

- Ensures Bitcoin remains secure and resilient as more miners join

- A core feature that keeps the system fair, predictable, and safe
