According to BlocksBridge Consulting partner Wolfie Zhao, many inefficient mining enterprises will face an existential crisis as their profit margins are going to be compressed.
The newest generation of Bitcoin mining hardware, which is anticipated to ship early next year, was recently revealed by companies who manufacture it.
Miners in areas with inexpensive electricity will be able to mine Bitcoin for far less money with cutting-edge hardware. But there isn’t any proof that miners are engaged in an arms race.
