Analysis: Bitcoin Mining Difficulty is expected to increase, and the miner's profit and loss indicator hashprice has fallen to the freezing point.

According to ChainCatcher news reported by Cointelegraph, the Bitcoin network difficulty is expected to rise from about 149.3 trillion to about 149.8 trillion during the next adjustment, indicating that mining competition will intensify further. Meanwhile, the key metric for measuring miner profitability, hashprice, has fallen to near record lows—daily earnings of about 38.3 dollars per PH/s, below the breakeven line for most miners. Industry analysts point out that such a combination (difficulty rise + low hashprice) will further compress miners' profit margins; small miners or those with high electricity costs may be forced to shut down, and the industry may accelerate reshuffling.
