Despite the sudden price correction, bitcoin’s fundamentals continue to reach new highs. The asset’s hash rate has recovered its recent declines and marked a new ATH. Accordingly, the network’s mining difficulty saw its most significant increase in nearly seven years to a new record level as well. Hash Rate and Mining Difficulty to New Records Bitcoin’s hash rate is the measuring unit of the processing power on the asset’s blockchain. The general rule of thumb suggests that...

Bitcoin mining company Riot Blockchain has decided to expand its mining capacity by purchasing 42,000 S19 Antimners from Bitmain, a Hong Kong crypto-mining products manufacturer. The purchase was worth at least $138.5 million and it’s part of the company’s plans to increase its Bitcoin mining hashrate, aiming at 7.7 EH/s by mid-2021 (an increase in the target by more than 90%). Riot Blockchain Exceeding its EH/s Expectations. Bitmain will be delivering 2000 S19j Antiminers...

The Bitcoin network continues to become more and more robust. This is confirmed by the expanding computing power put in the blockchain from miners, which has resulted in new all-time highs for the mining difficulty and the hash rate. New ATH for BTC Hash Rate Hash rate is a measuring unit of the processing power on Bitcoin’s blockchain. Essentially, it suggests that when there’re more miners who put their computational devices to work on the network, the metric goes higher,...

The hashrate on Bitcoin’s network surged to yet another all-time high, this time above 155 million TH/s. Simultaneously, the blockchain went through another adjustment that increased the difficulty levels to a record of their own.Bitcoin Hash Rate To Fresh HighsThe hash rate is a measuring unit of the processing power of the BTC network. The more miners put their computational devices to work, the higher the hash rate goes, which makes the system more secure and robust.Since over 60% of...

January 2021 will remain in crypto history with multiple bitcoin records, including ATHs for the BTC price, hash rate, and mining difficulty. Moreover, recent data indicated that the number of unique addresses transacting on the network had also surpassed the previous record from three years ago.Bitcoin’s Activity Sees An ATH RecordAccording to data from the analytics company Glassnode, the number of unique addresses on the Bitcoin network that either sent or received coins had charted a...

Although Bitcoin is still officially banned in China, the country portrays the most significant chunk of BTC trading volume, new research says. Additionally, the world’s most populated continent, Asia, occupies the largest market share, whale activity, and larger trades.China Dominates The Crypto FieldChina’s government has repeatedly outlined that BTC is officially banned within the nation’s borders. Nevertheless, the country has remained one of the largest and most crucial players in the...

Although the price of bitcoin has crashed in the past 24 hours with double-digit percetages, the network’s fundamentals remain strong. Recent data indicated that BTC’s mining difficulty and the hash rate had reached new all-time highs.BTC Mining Difficulty And Hash Rate ATHsThe mining difficulty on the BTC network goes through an automatic adjustment every 2,016 blocks (or roughly two weeks). Depending on the number of active miners putting their computational power to work on the blockchain,...

Data from the on-chain analytics resource Glassnode indicates that Bitcoin miners have sent sizeable BTC portions to exchanges in the past 24 hours. With the asset price hovering above $15,500, the question remains if they are to cash out profits and possibly drive Bitcoin south. Miners Send BTC To Exchanges Implies A Price Dip? Bitcoin miners are arguably the most vital part of the entire BTC ecosystem. By solving complex computational problems, they process Bitcoin...

Yesterday, the Bitcoin network witnessed approximately 22 exahashes per second (EH/s) exit the ecosystem, as noted by Hashr8’s Thomas Heller on Twitter. The self-professed “mining maximalist” also shared his estimation that we’ll see the BTC mining difficulty decline somewhere between 7.4% to 8.8% by the end of the week — a drop that, if true, would be the worst negative difficulty adjustment since the infamous, COVID-19-induced “Black Thursday” crash in March. However, none...

Popular TV host Max Keiser recently highlighted that Bitcoin’s continuously growing hash rate is significantly more important for humanity than its price. He believes that the expanding energy demand for sustaining the network would ultimately result in the demise of altcoins and fiat currencies.Rising Energy Consumption For BTC Is A Good Thing: KeiserFollowing a recent tweet by the famous broadcaster, in which he claimed that Bitcoin is initiating a 51% attack on world energy, CryptoPotato...
