Could you please elaborate on the process of Bitcoin mining? I'm curious to understand how it functions at a fundamental level. Is it a complex computational task that requires specialized hardware? Do miners solve cryptographic puzzles to earn rewards? And how does this process contribute to the security and stability of the Bitcoin network? I'd appreciate a concise yet comprehensive explanation of the mining process, including the role of miners, the difficulty adjustments, and the economic incentives involved. Thank you.
