TechFlow, Nov 30 — According to Cointelegraph, Bitcoin network difficulty is expected to rise from approximately 149.30 trillion to around 149.80 trillion at the next adjustment, signaling intensified mining competition.
At the same time, hashprice—a key metric measuring miner profitability—has dropped to near record lows, yielding about $38.30 per PH/s per day, below the break-even point for most miners.
Industry analysts note that this combination (rising difficulty + weak hashprice) will further squeeze miner profit margins; small-scale miners or those with high electricity costs may be forced to shut down, accelerating industry consolidation.
