#How does Bitcoin make money?
New Bitcoins are created as part of the Bitcoin mining process, in which they are offered as a lucrative reward to people who operate computer systems that help to validate transactions.

The resulting blockchain is a complete, public and permanent record of every Bitcoin transaction.
