So sure the price of btc is way up high but the "difficulty" and cost of electricity are also at all time highs. I had read somewhere that unless you can get electricity far under the going rate in the United States, It's not worth it to mine in the United States. With that said if the block award is cut in half, how many other places will become unviable for miners? Couldn't this cause a lot of miners to quit? the difficulty goes down when the hash rate crashes right? Doesn't the chain need a certain hash rate to not fall behind on ledgering transactions? submitted by /u/Dosmastrify1 [link] [comments]

I just noticed a very curious block being added to the blockchain just now. It seemed to have a abnormally low fee rate of 1 sat/vb, while the going rate is 80 about now. So I looked closer into it, and even though it had such a low fee rate it was paying around 700$ for the transaction. I noticed it was very large and it has some data in it. I believe I have just witnessed a real life ordinal out there in the wild. ​ So how do I decypher it? ​ The transaction ID is bd77f96589139cb5f26196d75744a7ce04aaa0f554cd646455b381dfb39930e9 submitted by /u/Petursinn [link] [comments]

So… I think that many of us would agree that the bull run has started, right? 🤔 While I believe that the bull run has started, I also believe that many of the investors who participated in the last cycle have not returned to the crypto market yet. Furthermore, I doubt that many new investors have entered the market. If you don’t believe me, then please see the following link. It shows the Google Trends for “Cryptocurrency,” “Bitcoin,” and “Ethereum” for the United States over the last 5 years. https://trends.google.com/trends/explore/TIMESERIES/1713516600?hl=en-US&tz=300&date=today+5-y&geo=US&hl=en&q=%2Fm%2F0vpj4_b,%2Fm%2F05p0rrx,%2Fm%2F0108bn2x&sni=3 As you can see, the level of interest in Bitcoin has increased quite a lot over the last 6 months, but the levels of interest in Ethereum and cryptocurrency in general has remained pretty flat. I assume that the growing interest in Bitcoin is due to the approval of the Spot Bitcoin ETFs, and the increase in the price of Bitcoin is probably due to institutional investors, not retail investors (like us). Also, I encourage you to find May 11, 2020 on the Google Trends chart. This was the date of the last Bitcoin Halving. As you can see, very little happened immediately following this date, and the price of BTC was fairly stagnant, too. (You can check the historical price of BTC on CoinMarketCap.) In November 2020 (6 months later), however, the level of interest in BTC as well as the price of BTC really started to move upward. In another 3 months, the levels of interest in Ethereum and cryptocurrency in general began to pick up, too. In summary… Manage your expectations. History tells us that prices probably won’t soar on the day of the Bitcoin Halving. The Halving is a catalyst for future price appreciation, and the altcoins move after BTC. What do you think guys? submitted by /u/mujohnt [link] [comments]
