7 Easy ways to find out Bitcoin difficulty

The Bitcoin difficulty is an extremely important number for miners, but also for the entire cryptocurrency community. According to the Bitcoin Wiki, difficulty can be described as the “measure of how difficult it is to find a new block compared to the easiest it can ever be”.
