Over the past few weeks, investors have begun to doubt the veracity<\/a> of the assertion that “Bitcoin is on the verge of its next bull run.” While there are reasons to believe this is the case, an analyst has asserted that per one key metric, BTC has “never been more bullish.”<\/p>\n

Bitcoin Hash Rate Continues to Rip Higher<\/h2>\n

The past few weeks have undoubtedly been weak for the cryptocurrency market; the price of BTC has collapsed from the $10,500 high to a price as low as $8,400 established just this weekend, while the hash rate of Bitcoin has stagnated.<\/p>\n

But, according to the latest data from Blockchain.com<\/a>, miners are once again allocating many resources to the security of the world’s largest cryptocurrency. Case in point: the hash rate<\/a> of the Bitcoin network reached a new all-time high of 136 exahashes (or 136,000,000 terahashes) per second just two days ago \u2014 nearly three times higher than it was one year ago.<\/p>\n

Commenting on the significance of this, crypto price tracking app Blockfolio wrote:<\/p>\n

“As Wall Street experiences the worst week since the 2008 financial crisis, Bitcoin\u2019s hash rate has just reached a new all-time high. 136,264,908 tera hashes per second.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This optimism has been echoed by analyst RookieXBT, who noted<\/a> on Tuesday that the hash rate is almost “~940% from where it was when BTC was at an all-time high” of $20,000. This, RookieXBT wrote, is a sign that “Bitcoin has never been more bullish.”<\/p>\n
