Thanks! Why is bitcoin so difficult to produce?

Bitcoin is considered to be difficult to produce because it requires a lot of computing power to solve complex mathematical problems. This process is known as mining, and it involves using specialized hardware to compete against other miners to earn new coins by solving these problems. Additionally, there is a limited supply of bitcoin, meaning that only a certain number can ever exist. This scarcity makes it more valuable and desirable to those who want to own it.
