 The Bitcoin network performs about 658,000,000,000,000,000,000 hashes per second. 

That means it takes 394,800,000,000,000,000,000,000 hashes on average to find a block.

These numbers are so big that they make no sense. Win the 10^23 lottery and you can have some Bitcoin. Anything less, fuck off. What a beautiful machine.

Goodnight!
