... thereby reducing profitability per unit of hash. The opposite scenario occurs with falling hash rates: decreased competition enhances the odds of remaining miners receiving rewards. Energy Efficiency of Equipment. The latest ASIC devices with low energy consumption (J/TH) can mine BTC at lower costs. Outdated equipment, which consumes more electricity per unit of hash, experiences higher production costs and is the first to exit the market when profitability drops. Electricity Costs. Energy rates represent one of the largest expenses for miners. Cheap energy at farm locations (e.g., renewable ...

These factors will ensure a more modest ...
