Bitcoin miner revenue drops 11%, divergence between difficulty and rewards triggers surrender risk

Abstract generation in progress

【Crypto World】Recently, Bitcoin miners have indeed been having a tough time. Although mining difficulty is adjusting, revenues are shrinking, and this mismatch is testing miners’ patience. Since mid-October, miners’ income has decreased by 11%, while the increase in difficulty does not seem to be proportionate, leading to continued pressure on unit profitability.

Some analysts believe that this divergence between income and difficulty is increasing the risk of miners giving up. Under the dual pressure of rising costs and declining returns, some small and medium-sized mining farms may face the choice of shutting down or switching to other cryptocurrencies. For players who are committed to Bitcoin mining, the current challenge is more about judging the long-term cycle and maintaining sufficient capital reserves.

Income drops 11%, can you still hold on? You should have surrendered long ago. Instead of holding onto Bitcoin, it's better to switch tracks; after all, it's all a gamble.

Is it time to cut the leeks again? The countdown for miners surrender... --- Small and medium-sized mining farms really can't hold on anymore. How many machines will have to shut down this time? --- Difficulty isn't dropping, but the coin price isn't improving either. It's ridiculous. Miners are suffering too much. --- Wait, is there a divergence between difficulty and returns? Something's not right. It feels like someone is accumulating strength. --- The wave of surrender is probably coming. Those entering now might be laughing all the way to the next cycle. --- Only with sufficient capital reserves can one survive. That's the advantage of large mining farms. --- A 11% drop isn't that big; the key is that the mentality has collapsed. Everyone is thinking about bottom fishing. --- Switch to other coins? Ha, that's even worse. It's better to hold on and wait for a rebound. --- Long-term judgment is for the wealthy. Small miners can only wait and see. --- This wave is really testing faith. It feels like someone is about to get liquidated.

11% decline. How resilient are small and medium-sized mining farms? Are they cleaning out players who aren't committed enough?

Here it comes again, the difficulty should be adjusted, but the returns are actually falling? That logic is incredible. --- Small and medium miners probably can't hold on this time. Switching coins or shutting down is both difficult. --- An 11% drop isn't a big deal, but the key issue is that those without reserves really can't hold on. --- Discrepancy between difficulty and returns? Basically, it's still the coin price that hasn't kept up. --- Right now, it's all about who has more cash on hand—it's a true survival game. --- Risk of surrender? Rather than saying surrender, it's more accurate to say this game isn't suitable for retail investors. --- Long-term cycle judgment? Bro, isn't this just gambling? --- I don't quite understand why difficulty is still rising. Have the miners all gone crazy?

Is the income dropping again and again? The difficulty adjustment doesn't match the market at all. How resilient must miners be?

Oh no, another wave of miners is about to run away. The combination of difficulty and returns is truly incredible. This 11% drop in miners... some people are probably already calculating and shutting down their machines. Difficulty rising and returns falling—this logic is absurd. No wonder small and medium-sized mining farms want to give up. Honestly, it still depends on the coin price. Difficulty adjustments are meaningless if the coin doesn't rise; everything else is just talk. At this point, you can really see who has the capital to survive. Small miners should seriously consider switching strategies. Wait, is this a big miner trying to shake out the market? A tactic to force small and medium miners out? Risk of surrender? It's more like being forced out than surrendering. I support those who are still holding on—either wealthy individuals or gamblers.
