tldr; Bitcoin mining difficulty has dropped by over 11%, marking the steepest decline since China’s 2021 mining ban. This drop is attributed to severe winter storms in North America and rising energy costs, which forced inefficient mining operators to shut down. The difficulty adjustment mechanism lowered mining difficulty to maintain steady block production. The economic strain, exacerbated by high operating costs and low Bitcoin prices, has led to unprofitability for miners using older hardware, causing some to cease operations permanently or temporarily.
