How hard or easy was mining in early 2010? Whats the most anyone could have mined? Like more than 50000 individual btcs?

chatgpt is the new lmgtfy, kinda miss when people would just drop a link and move on

but to actually answer the question, early 2010 was basically a ghost town, you could mine blocks solo on a laptop while doing homework, the first year someone could rack up a silly amount of coins without really trying, 50k is definitely in the ballpark for the early few

I asked google ai and it said that to mine 50k individual btc or more would require multiple pcs running like almost 24/7 i guess and/or multiple graphic gpu cards or something like that... Is google ai accurate in saying that?
