Investing
Putting money into an asset or activity with the aim of receiving income or growth over time, while accepting that its value or returns may disappoint. The planned holding period depends on the goal and asset; holding longer does not remove risk.
Example: A learner researches an asset intended for a longer holding period. Waiting longer does not guarantee recovery after a fall, and an asset can lose most or all of its value.
The creation of new units of a currency. In Bitcoin, all new coins are issued through the block subsidy paid to miners.
Example: A bakery prints new vouchers under its published schedule. Bitcoin creates new units through the block subsidy; transaction fees transfer existing units instead.
