Data shows the Bitcoin mining hashrate has seen a sharp jump to new all-time highs despite the network difficulty registering a 7% rise recently.
7-Day Bitcoin Mining Hashrate Has Set A New Record
The “mining hashrate” refers to the total amount of computing power currently connected to the Bitcoin blockchain. This metric is very relevant for the BTC network, as its value can have a direct influence on the chain’s security.
A larger hashrate means that there are more nodes for a malicious attacker to go through, as such an attack can only be successful if the attacker can bring under control at least 51% of the hashrate.
This benefit on the security from a higher value of the indicator only appears, though, if the new hashrate that’s being added by the miners is sufficiently decentralized.
Now, here is a chart that shows the trend in the 7-day average Bitcoin mining hashrate over the past year:
From the above graph, it’s visible that the 7-day Bitcoin mining hashrate has reg
