Original archived Small Miners vs. Giants: Is Bitcoin Mining Becoming Too Centralized Post-Halving
Scraped on 08/07/2025, 08:45:50 UTC
Hey guys,
Been thinking a lot about Bitcoin mining lately. After the last halving, it feels like the big, industrial operations are just getting bigger, and it's getting tougher for the little guys, even for hobby miners. Are we seeing a real shift here? Is mining becoming too centralized in the hands of a few massive pools and companies with cheap energy access?
Some recent reports talk about how the profitability lines are getting razor-thin for anyone not running the latest rigs on super cheap power. This could have huge implications for the network's decentralization long-term, couldn't it? What are your thoughts? Is this just a natural evolution, or something we should be concerned about for Bitcoin's health?
