==Exercise==

* Notice the field labeled '''Difficulty'''.  
* Notice the field labeled '''Reward'''.  
* The reward includes both:
- The '''Minted BTC'''.  
- The '''Transaction Fees''' paid by the transactions included in the block.

 This is very relevant because at some point the Mining reward will be very small, but the network will continue functioning with the transaction fees.
