Why Bitcoin Miners Will Face Challenges
Amidst the looming Bitcoin halving, miners face dwindling rewards and transaction fees, pressuring their profitability and sparking varied industry responses.
Key Points:
- Hashprice has dropped 30% since the last halving in May 2020.
- Transaction fees have decreased by 90%, impacting total block rewards.
- The Bitcoin network hashrate has risen significantly, leading to higher mining costs.
- Some miners have increased Bitcoin selling while reserves decline.
Despite challenges, the mining industry may stabilize post-halving, as seen in previous revenue growth after such events.
