Coin Metrics said that the BTC mining hash rate has been stable despite the price decline. Hash rate is the computational power required to create new blocks on the Bitcoin network and mine new ones. Since peaking at 220 EH/s in May, the 30-day moving average has dropped to around 215 EH/s. Mining difficulty is down Mining difficulty, another critical metric, has significantly declined. Mining difficulty changes every two weeks to ensure that the interval between each block remains 10 minutes. Difficulty directly affects profitability as it determines the average time between each block. It recently fell by 2.3%, the second-largest decline this year. Energy cost is affecting miners While the mining difficulty is down, the energy cost for Bitcoin mining has increased significantly. The global energy crunch, inflation, and supply chain issues place miners in an unfavorable situation where they pay more for less energy,
