Bitcoin-Inspired Hard Digital Assets on the Ethereum Network: A New Frontier

Bitcoin is the first hard digital asset in history, the proof of work mechanism effectively converts energy into currency by a process referred to as "mining". It's cost of production connects it to the real world economy providing a fundamental value behaving like a physical commodity.

Mining is a way to create new coins without a central mint of trusted parties. In order to make sure that only a finite number of bitcoins will be created, the mining supply of new coins is cut in half approximately every four years, an event called Bitcoin Halving.
