Bitcoin\u2019s recent mining rewards halving that took place just a couple of months ago went off without a hitch and has had a negligible adverse impact on the dynamics seen amongst the cryptocurrency\u2019s miners.<\/p>\n
This comes despite what many analysts had previously believed, as some had been calling for an imminent \u201chash rate death spiral<\/a>\u201d that would be induced by the event.<\/p>\n Despite this, BTC\u2019s hash rate was able to surge to a fresh all-time high yesterday and isn\u2019t showing any signs of spiraling lower any time soon.<\/p>\n Now, one prominent investor and Bitcoin advocate is noting that he believes hash rate precedes price \u2013 with this being a positive sign for BTC\u2019s near-term outlook.<\/p>\n He also notes that the growth this metric has seen elucidates a collapse in confidence for fiat currencies.<\/p>\n The block rewards reduction that took place in May hampered miner\u2019s profitability and led some analysts to suspect that it would cause many smaller miners to capitulate.<\/p>\n Shortly after the event occurred, Bitcoin transaction fees rocketed temporarily, helping alleviate some of the pressure that was placed on miners.<\/p>\n Although these fees have since declined, miners do not appear to be shutting off their rigs, as BTC\u2019s hash rate just hit a fresh all-time high this weekend.<\/p>\n Data from blockchain.com shows that this metric peaked at just under 126 million TH\/s, marking a massive climb from its one-year lows of 62 million TH\/s.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n This is a sign that the cryptocurrency\u2019s network is incredibly healthy and is also a testament to its underlying strength.<\/p>\nBitcoin\u2019s Hash Rate Surges to All-Time Highs; Avoids \u201cDeath Spiral\u201d<\/strong><\/h2>\n
