The first person to win a block gets a prize of bitcoins. Since the second step in forming a block is essentially up to chance, the most effective way to mine is simply to throw more computation at the problem, verifying as many blocks as possible as fast as possible. — PolitiTweet.org

You may ask “why not just guess 000…0001 for your hash, if the goal is to get a hash below the target nonce?” The answer: your guess is put through what is basically a randomizing equation based on several inputs, like the timestamp. Guessing your hash ahead of time is #noncense — PolitiTweet.org

Despite the randomness, it's more like they’re getting paid a fee to maintain ledgers than mining or creating bitcoins. Miners provide proof that they’ve done work to contribute to the chain in exchange for compensation (in bitcoins), rather than making bitcoins themselves. — PolitiTweet.org
