When the circulating supply increases, we can say "new bitcoins were mined"?
To have it clear, new bitcoins are created or we "discover/found" it?

Every block that you mine as a bitcoin miner, you get a set reward for it. Right now, this reward stands at 12.5 bitcoins per block mined. Think of mining bitcoins simply solving really complex maths problems, if you solve this problem first, then you get the reward before anyone else, and new bitcoins are created as a result. Every 4 years or so(210k blocks) the block reward halves, so in 2020 the block reward will halve to 6.25 BTC per block. As time goes on the amount of new bitcoins created will be lesser and lesser, infinitely close to but never hitting 0. Hope this helped.

in a simple explanation "Mining" stay for use computational power to resolve a mathematical problem. At the beginning this problem had a low complexivity, and could be solved with a low computational power.. for example in a "SOLO MINING" mode... by the difficulty increase, this problems become ever and ever more complex... and to solve this problem was born the so called "MINIG POOL". When a miner, in solo or pool mode, mine a block, means who have found the solutuions to this problem and it is rewarded by 12,5btc + commission fee

Great simple explanation ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) I´d love to start learning about mining to earn money, but I have ZERO knowledge about computers, do you think it´s possible?

Sorry to be the one to give you the bad news, but nowadays, you cannot make money mining BTC unless: - you pay less than 6-7 cents/Kwu for your power
- you live in a country with low import duties
- you have a budget of a couple thousand dollar
- you have a naturally cool place, shelves, good power circuits, extra PSU's where a lot of noise isn't a problem
- you have a basic understanding about how Bitcoin works
- you have some technical skills (cooling, networking,...)
- you're willing to invest a lot of time doing research, making plans, setting everything up, monitoring,...
If you had to answer "no" for one of the points above, i would not start mining BTC if i were you... If you try mining altcoins, some of the above restraints might not be necessary... I've heared about people making profit mining altcoins while paying a lot more for their power, or starting from a much lower budget (for example)

I have no background on computering, so I guess I´ll pass. I´ll concentrate on studying about trading ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) Thanks for the explanation! ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

Actually it does go to 0. Eventually, it will go to 3 satoshis, then 1 satoshi, then 0.

Then miners will lose interest if they can´t make money, won´t they? What will happen then? ![Huh](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/huh.gif)

Sorry ![Lips sealed](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/lipsrsealed.gif) Typical newbie thing, I know. I try to search first and only ask if completely necessary, but I was a little impatient and shocked ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) Anyway, very interesting, "Blocks will return 0 satoshis by year 2141 or so" ![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif) I wonder how much a BTC will be then ![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif)

You just made this up, right? You can depend on members of signature campaigns to post nonsense. The post to increase their post count and earn more money. They don't actually care about what they write.
