When is a bitcoin created and how do miners receive rewards for mining it?

I'm kind of new to this so if I make mistakes, I'm sorry.

  1. If I'm not wrong the goal is to solve problems and try to find a random hash that has a lot of 0's at the beginning and if I'm not wrong a lot of hashes make up a bitcoin, so what defines that number? Also, is bitcoin made up of a lot of those hashes with 0's at the beginning?
  2. Once a new bitcoin is created, how do the miners get credited? Do they get bitcoin to their bitcoin wallet, if so, how? if not, how? Also, what defines exactly how much they get and who gets it? Let's say there are 2 miners in total and the first one has already been mining for a few days while the other just starts and solves the problem in 10 minutes, who gets rewarded and how much?
  3. If I randomly solve a hash on my computer and get the needed amount of 0's at the beginning and everything matches and it's the right one, what does that mean? what do i do? Did I manage to "create" a new bitcoin? If so, how much and how do i get rewarded and in this situation am i the only getting the reward or not? Also, how do i get the reward? How can I let the world know that I solved it?

Not ready to go public? That’s the perfect time to think about going public

Image
The disastrous failure of WeWork’s non-IPO provided not just a dramatic crash-and-burn spectacle, but also a valuable cautionary tale about how not to do an IPO.  Even if your company is not ready to go public at the moment, if there may be an IPO in your future, things go more smoothly for companies that begin the work well in advance.  As a financial manager who consults for public and soon-to-be-public companies, I’ve worked with organizations traveling along a well-planned path, and those with an IPO date looming and management panicking. Here’s what I’ve learned in the process.  Have a business plan that demonstrates a path to profitability The first tech boom clearly demonstrated the folly of having an IPO with nothing more than “a good idea.”  Now, especially after several high-profile IPO failures, investor sentiment has swung to favor companies that demonstrate a solid growth history and a clear path to profitability.

Uber & Robinhood Angel Investor: 99% of Crypto Projects Are Garbage

Image
In 2017 and 2018, thousands of entrepreneurs were attempting to launch their own crypto project to capitalize on the bubble-like conditions. Due to the mania, there are now over 5,000 digital assets listed on CoinMarketCap — and there are likely thousands of others that failed to make the cut. Unsurprisingly, not everyone is convinced that all players in such a saturated market have value. One prominent venture capitalist, in fact, went as far as to say that 99% of crypto projects are simply “garbage.” Related Reading: DeFi Effect: Scaling Debate Begins as Ethereum Fees Reach Two-Year Highs Most Crypto Projects Are “Garbage”  Jason Calacanis is a prominent entrepreneur, author, and angel investor. If you’ve heard of him, it’s likely because of his angel investments in Robinhood, Uber, and Trello. He’s also interested in the crypto space. In 2019, he was bearish, postulating that Bitcoin could fall to $500. Yet, the investor has recently begun to change his mind, telling Morgan
