Bitcoin Mining Difficulty Hits New All-Time High, Signaling Increasing Network Competitiveness

Bitcoin's mining difficulty has reached an all-time high, indicating a competitive network and increased interest in the cryptocurrency. This rise in difficulty may be a precursor to a potential increase in Bitcoin adoption, leading to significant growth in its value and market demand. However, as mining becomes more challenging, it impacts the profitability of miners, which is closely tied to Bitcoin's spot price. The recent decline in weekly jobless claims in the US defies recession concerns in the labor market. Meanwhile, Bitcoin's technical outlook shows bearish indicators, with resistance at the $26,850 level and support at $26,000. The Cryptonews Industry Talk team has curated a list of 15 promising cryptocurrencies for 2023 that demonstrate strong potential for growth.

  • EIA Temporarily Suspends Emergency Survey of Bitcoin Mining Industry

    The US Department of Energy has temporarily suspended its emergency survey of Bitcoin mining operators' energy usage. The Energy Information Administration (EIA) will halt its mandatory survey for over a month and keep the data that had already been secured from stakeholders in the Bitcoin mining industry earlier this February. Riot Platforms and the Texas Blockchain Council had previously sued the administration of President Joe Biden, planning to boycott the survey citing that it could cause potential harm to businesses by compelling them to release confidential and sensitive information. The plaintiffs requested a permanent injunction from the court which mandates that EIA first complies with the law before going ahead to request the data.
