Bitcoin miners are really struggling right now. The latest data shows that mining revenues are experiencing the toughest times in history—unit computing power income has dropped from about $55/PH/s in the third quarter to around $35/PH/s now. What does this mean? This figure is already below the average cost line of those listed mining companies ($44/PH/s).
In November, the deep correction of Bitcoin completely brought miners back to reality. There may have been profit space before, but now there is real loss pressure on the table. What’s worse, the total network Computing Power is still approaching the 1.1 threshold, which means the competition is fiercer and the share of the cake for each miner is getting smaller. In the mining industry, it is truly a test of ice and fire right now.

It's really tough for miners now. $35 per PH/s—who can handle that? It's already below the cost line.

Miners really can't take it anymore, $35 per PH is already Rekt.

35 dollars per PH/s, this is not a loss, it's losing life. No wonder Mining Farms are selling machines off.

ngl the margin compression here is arguably the most compelling argument for consolidation we've seen in cycles past... sub-optimal incentive structures when you're operating below cost basis, yeah? historical precedent suggests this filters out the smaller players pretty decisively

It's starting to lose again, I really can't hold on this round.
