🟧 Bitcoin Mining Just Hit a Historic Milestone of 110.45 trillion. That’s 110 trillion times harder than when Satoshi mined the first block.
Let’s break down what this means for miners, markets, and Bitcoin’s future. 👇
🟧 What is mining difficulty?
Every 2,016 blocks (~2 weeks), Bitcoin recalibrates mining difficulty to ensure blocks are mined every 10 minutes.
Reaching 110.45T means Bitcoin has never been more competitive—and miners are feeling the heat. 🔥
🟧 This is the 8th straight positive adjustment.
The network keeps getting tougher, putting massive pressure on miners. Competition is fierce, and mining a block is harder than ever.
Miners now face one big question: Adapt or get left behind.
🟧 The pivot to survive.
Public miners like MARA are diversifying.
AI & HPC industries: Mining isn’t enough. They’re venturing into high-performance computing to stay profitable.
Bitcoin lending: MARA lends BTC for single-digit yields, squeezing out every drop of revenue.
🟧 Déjà vu from 2021?
This isn’t the first time we’ve seen a streak of positive adjustments:
2021: After China’s mining ban, 9 consecutive adjustments led to BTC hitting $69K. Then came the bear market.
Will history repeat itself?
🟧 Lessons from 2018.
In 2018, Bitcoin saw 17 positive adjustments after the $20K peak, followed by a small negative adjustment at $6K.
The network then made 6 more positive moves before crashing to the cycle bottom at $3K. Could we be nearing another turning point?
🟧 What this means for BTC’s future.
Bitcoin mining difficulty is more than a technical metric—it’s a barometer of miner resilience, market conditions, and network health.
As difficulty climbs, miners are forced to innovate or fold, strengthening the network’s security.
🟧 The big question
Will Bitcoin’s rising difficulty signal a new bull market, like in 2021, or is it setting the stage for a correction like 2018?
Either way, one thing is clear: Bitcoin’s network is stronger than ever.
Your move, miners. 🚀
