Bitcoin mining is an investment, weighing the cost of energy and hardware against the expected returns. Mining pools, or groups of miners, tend to be located in regions where electricity is inexpensive. These miners also follow different virtual currencies, mining the cryptocurrency that they expect will have the highest return.
