Oh it's definitely possible, probably until the price goes high enough for bitcoin to be worth mining again. Especially for the small-time miners who has significantly slimmer profit margins compared to the big-time miners. In fact, this is what I assume will happen as it's the most likely one in my opinion. I don't think it's likely for bitcoin to rise in price in the short term.
what is the break even point for miners considered now? I know the cost of electricity is a big variable, but  I just figured at 20K+ most would be still be positive? is that not the case?
