Taking into consideration our users’ interests, the recent Bitcoin price drop, as well as the upscaling of the mining difficulty, CEX.IO Bitcoin Exchange would like to announce a temporary suspension of cloud mining services provided by the platform at the time of the next difficulty increase.

Wait, isn't that actually good news for the price? I see you guys complaining constantly that there are too many miners and thus the supply is bigger than demand. Am I missing something?

It is, but in a longer perspective. There will be a lag by the already accumulated coins that have been mined with high production costs and hopes of quick ROI. These coins create high selling pressure and there won't be a rise before these coins have switched hands. This won't be over quickly and I think that it will be too late for BTC when the market finally recovers from the mining craze.
