@BOMBERuss 15 September 2022 more from that month

The #Bitcoin mining difficulty index increased by 3.45%. According to the bitcoin #blockchain metrics, the mining difficulty index increased by 3.45%, to a new historical maximum of 32.05 trillion. This was the fourth consecutive increase in this indicator — the previous time it jumped by 9.26%, which happened two weeks ago. This indicator followed the growing bitcoin #hashrate, which in early September reached its absolute record of 264.8 Eh/s, after which it slightly adjusted to 232.4 Eh/s in the middle of this week. The previous hashrate peak was observed on June 11, and exactly a month before that, the bitcoin mining difficulty indicator reached its absolute record, but then went down after the cryptocurrency #market reacted negatively to the collapse of the #Terra (Luna) #cryptocurrency. Note that in August, global #mining revenue began to grow after a decline in July and June, reaching $ 684.3 million. There were changes in the composition of mining pools due to the difficulties faced by Poolin, as a result of which other participants in this segment of the cryptosphere had the opportunity to increase their share. In Europe, bitcoin miners are being relocated, given the rapidly growing energy costs. So, a significant influx of miners is currently observed in the north of Norway, where energy costs are not as high as in Germany and France. The growth of two key indicators of the bitcoin blockchain indicates the high stability of the work of this distributed registry, as well as the growth of investments in mining equipment in the world. Investors pay attention to the fact that bitcoin is one of those rare assets in the world that, in their price movements, are beginning to show increasing independence from the decisions of the US Federal Reserve on the interest rate.
