> :warning: WARNING. Note that you must add the `-regtest` argument after each `bitcoin-cli` command to correctly access your Regtest environment. If you prefer, you can include a `regtest=1` command in your `~/.bitcoin/bitcoin.conf` file.
Because a block must have 100 confirmations before that reward can be spent, you generate 101 blocks, providing access to the coinbase transaction from block #1. Because this is a new blockchain using Bitcoin’s default rules, the first blocks pays a block reward of 50 bitcoins. Unlike mainnet, in regtest mode only the first 150 blocks pay a reward of 50 bitcoins. The reward halves after 150 blocks, so it pays 25, 12.5, and so on...

It is important to note that for any transactions to complete, you will have to generate (mine) new blocks, so that the transactions can be included.
For example, to create a transaction and include it in a block, you should ufirst se the `sendtoaddress` command:

However, you must now finalize it by creating blocks on the blockchain.
Most applications require a six-block confirmations to consider the transaction as irreversible. If that is your case, you can mine additional six blocks into your regtest chain:
