  The responsibility for maintaining the Bitcoin network lies with a decentralized group of individuals known as Bitcoin miners. These miners use powerful computers to solve complex mathematical problems, which in turn verifies and secures transactions on the network. They are incentivized to do so through the reward of newly minted Bitcoins and transaction fees. Without the miners, the Bitcoin network would not be able to function properly.

  Maintaining the Bitcoin network is a collective effort. It involves a global network of individuals and organizations who contribute their computing power to secure the network. This decentralized nature ensures that no single entity has control over the network. It's a community-driven system where everyone plays a role in maintaining the integrity and security of the Bitcoin network.
