I just noticed an interesting point — the difficulty of mining Bitcoin has jumped by 15%, the biggest increase since 2021. Hashrate is essentially the total computational power of the entire network needed to maintain the blockchain. When the hashrate increases, it means more miners have joined the network or they have upgraded their equipment.

The most amusing part is that this happened despite the fact that Bitcoin's price has been falling recently. Usually, when the price goes down, some miners turn off their equipment because mining becomes less profitable. But this time, the difficulty still increased, which indicates that major players in mining are staying in the game and continuing to invest in hardware. It will be interesting to see how this develops further if the price continues to decline.
