Why would miners invest so much into electricity for half the reward? I see this ending badly
As long as miners are profitable, there is no reason to stop burning electricity in exchange for Bitcoin. But some miners stop being profitable after halving, thats for sure for the older gen equipment. But given the price about doubled since start of the year, I dont predict much dip in hashrate after halving, thus slower transactions before next dificulty retarget in a bit over one week happens. But lets see instead the next days Bitcoin hashrate whos right.
