Still really surprises me that difficulty still rising at 5-8% every 2 weeks, considering price has done nothing but drop over the past few months. Granted were in a reasonable upswing, and lets hope price keeps going up.
But at the same time, I dont want the hashrate to explode this year either
It was guaranteed to explode. With the new generation miners coming out, the difficulty will do nothing but rise. Imagine how much it'll rise when/if Bitmain releases their new SHA miner too!
