2009 vs 2010

[robertcarlyle]

When could someone mine a lot more btc between 2010 and 2009?  Im only asking because i went to google ai and it said that to mine 50000 or more individual btcs would require multiple computers and/or graphic gpu cards running like almost 24/7... but if this is the case, would mining btc have to be done manually by a person and not automatically by some pc?  Would it require multiple pcs running almost 24/7 or many graphic gpu cards to accomplish this?  One single desktop pc couldnt do it?  Could one single pc do it 24/7 all by itself??

Bitcoin mining difficulty continued to increased during the period. Miners mined bitcoin in 2010, but it was also in 2010 that miners have started using GPU to mine bitcoin for better profit and the mining difficulty was increasing.

In 2009, less miners
In 2010, more miners
The block reward 50 BTC in both years.

Miners moved to GPU before 2010 ended. So I choose 2009.
