As a keen observer of the cryptocurrency and finance world, I'm curious about the nuances of mining bitcoins. My question is, can one mine bitcoin without specialized hardware? It seems like the consensus is that mining requires powerful computers with specialized graphics processing units (GPUs) or even application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs). However, with the advancements in cloud computing and software solutions, is it possible to mine bitcoins without the need for physical hardware? I'm particularly interested in understanding if this is a feasible option for those looking to get involved in mining but may not have the financial resources to invest in expensive mining hardware.
