RE: The price of bitcoin has been sliding, but the hash rate continues climb!

in #bitcoin6 years ago

The miners had already committed their investment. They have no other avenue to use their resources. So now they are cutting their losses by mining at losses. And so my argument that additional mining power will not be deployed for some time resulting in reduced growth of hash rate.

Sort:  

This is a good point. Some of these large scale miners took months or even years to get setup like they are right now, which means they mine whether prices fall or fly.
