If you are a miner, things just got more difficult!

Ever!

What does this mean?

It is getting more and more expensive to mine bitcoin, which is probably a good thing.

Though it depends on how you look at it.

I am of the opinion the ideal situation is where miners can only eek out a very small profit for mining.

Otherwise I feel like they would be dumping heavily to lock in profits.

Shoveling 💩 is just as tuff 😂

Lol, how do you know?
