Shocker! According to <\/span>the latest CBECI<\/span><\/a> update, China\u2019s control over Bitcoin mining was already waning.

It doesn\u2019t quite fit, though. According to <\/span>Arcane Research<\/span><\/a>, CBECI numbers say that:<\/span><\/p>\n

China\u2019s share of total Bitcoin mining power has declined from 75.5% in September 2019 to 46% in April 2021\u2009\u2014\u2009before the restrictions on Chinese miners were even imposed. That figure is much lower than the older estimate of 65%.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

That\u2019s a sharp decline. Why did China\u2019s miners lose so much ground <\/span>before<\/span><\/i> the ban? Did the Chinese government turn off the machines that they reportedly own? Why would they do that? Is everyone missing an obvious explanation for all of this?
