To mine Bitcoin, you need to have a computer that is very powerful. This is because it needs a high end computer to solve complex mathematical problems to help in processing the transactions on the blockchain network. So, Bitcoin is a reward given to successful miners. But it is very costly to set up a bitcoin miner and the demand for electricity is also very huge.

To add to that, I often see miners always coming together to form mining pools and to share resources to mine bitcoin.

I have seen tremendous growth in solo mining too. A lot of people now mine individually but the cost of mining equipment is quite high..
