Bitcoin difficulty is now lower than it was a year ago. That has happened only once before — after China banned mining in 2021. Back then, roughly half of the network’s computing power went offline within weeks, and difficulty recovered as miners relocated. This time, there is no single trigger: months of tight margins, lower revenues and the shift toward AI and HPC have gradually pushed part of the hashrate offline. 🌝 Difficulty now stands at 126.23T — around 14% below its January peak, after a 10% drop in June and another 5% in July. For miners still running, that means less competition for the same block reward*. 😇 Make every terahash count with EMCD Mining Pool 😇 *Rewards still depend on BTC price, fees, and your power cost. 🔳 Community / Website / EMCD App / Twitter / Support
