Despite the correction of the first cryptocurrency, its mining remains profitable, but the threshold for entering the industry continues to rise
In January, a single miner successfully mined a bitcoin block and received a reward of 6.25 BTC (over $270 thousand). At that time, the share of the miner in the total computing power was only 0.000073%, which means the probability of successfully adding block 1 to 1.36 million.
The miner also received commissions for transactions, which on this block amounted to about 0.1 BTC ($4.3 thousand at the exchange rate on January 13).
Mining remains profitable even despite the fall in the exchange rate to $40,000, and the cost of bitcoin mining for the average miner remains 1.5-2 times lower than the current cryptocurrency price.
