So, I was doing some research on how can I protect my earnings and came accross the information that in response to falling crypto prices and increasing energy expenses
The dealings for this two are different, when there's high probability that miners will pay higher fee for their energy utilization then that does not have any difference to cause with the bitcoin price because miners have their own way of increasing their own reward from transaction charges whereby when the mempool if full the transaction confirmation become tideous on a huge que and only a higher transaction fee can make it jump to the next to be confirmed, here the miners make something from it, while mining is an entire different game that solely demand on energy consumption for it activities but if a miner thinks the high pay rate for this energy supply is too much they can opt in for a renewable source with cheaper budget which has nothing to do with bitcoin price.
publicly listed Bitcoin miners were forced to sell nearly all of the BTC that they've mined in 2022.
Should that decision base on the account of high energy demands or bitcoin price, i think there's more to dig up in this regard than just the pay rate for their energy consumption, they may have other reasons.
Do you think hedging strategies could help us stay solvent amid the bear market?
No, miners aren't the one that determines the bitcoin price, neither does their holdings make a serious impact on the volatility in price, do don't only shrink the strategy, also change it there will always be bear and bull and that does not change anything from what we should expect.
