    Bitcoin miners are losing $19,000 on every BTC produced as difficulty drops 7.8%

    The average production cost was sitting at $88,000 per bitcoin in mid-March, according to Checkonchain's difficulty regression model.

        @campuscodi Out of curiosity, is this still the case? This article is about three weeks old… doesn't the Bitcoin hash difficulty adjust itself every two weeks? My understanding is the hash difficulty mechanism is *supposed* to serve as a check on mining going cash negative, so it's interesting if the mechanism fails. (Also, the BTC price itself has gone up a chunk since Mar 22.)

            On first glance these seem too conveniently incendiary to be true.

            Alas, they probably are fakes.

                  @campuscodi ...because crapto "currency" is a scam. Don't worry, people are suckers & thieves need this vital source of their revenue, so the value will rebound.

                        @campuscodi the blockchain does not have much profitability in only resolving itself without any applicable mirroring beneficial to others why share processing of it.

                                    @fabrice @campuscodi I wonder if you have to remember that old SNL commercial about the bank that just made change to get that joke?

                                      @campuscodi Out of curiosity, is this still the case? This article is about three weeks old… doesn't the Bitcoin hash difficulty adjust itself every two weeks? My understanding is the hash difficulty mechanism is *supposed* to serve as a check on mining going cash negative, so it's interesting if the mechanism fails. (Also, the BTC price itself has gone up a chunk since Mar 22.)

                                      @mcc the cost of electricity factors in heavily - can’t really make a general statement. I went down a rabbit hole on this a couple months ago. Disclaimer - I’m not a miner or crypto investor, was just curious as the price was falling what the implications would be.

                                        Bitcoin miners have entered the red as it now costs $88,000 to mint a $69,000 bitcoin

                                        Bitcoin miners are losing $19,000 on every BTC produced as difficulty drops 7.8%

                                        The average production cost was sitting at $88,000 per bitcoin in mid-March, according to Checkonchain's difficulty regression model.

                                          @BurritoSommelier It does, yeah. What I mean is the difficulty-adjustment mechanism is supposed to be a check whereby the Bitcoin mechanism can correct for things like a sudden increase in the cost of energy. (But of course the fact it's *intended* to have this effect does not mean it *will* have the effect.)
