What is Proof of Work?

You’ve probably heard of Bitcoin mining before, but do you actually know what it means?

In this video, I break down Proof of Work (PoW) in a simple, visual way. You’ll learn:

✅ How miners verify transactions and secure the network

✅ Why PoW was the first blockchain consensus mechanism

✅ What makes it nearly impossible to cheat

✅ The trade-offs (like energy use) that led to new models like Proof of Stake

Whether you’re new to crypto or brushing up on blockchain fundamentals, this one’s for you.
