Bitcoin miner capitulation over in September? First increase since June



 Bitcoin ( BTC ) miners have been capitulating for almost two months, but now an end may be in sight.


Blockchain infrastructure and cryptocurrency mining company Blockware hinted as much in its latest Intelligence Newsletter on July 29 .


The current issue of the newsletter has highlighted changes in the mining ecosystem, signaling a change in trend since early June.


According to the Hash Ribbons indicator, miners have been withdrawing for “a long time,” Blockware said. On August 1, the indicator has been signaling a capitulation for 55 days.


"The current miner capitulation started on June 7, 2022 and has lasted for a considerable time. It is important to note that miner capitulations are particularly relevant as they show that many machines are no longer hashing," the company said:


“Since June 7th, more new-generation mining rigs have likely been commissioned by both public and private miners. However, enough old-generation machines or inefficient, overloaded miners have now been shut down that the hashrate and difficulty have actually dropped are."

This upheaval highlights the hurdles to profitability created by the Bitcoin price collapse. The price fell to $17,600 in June, taking the market back to where it was at the end of 2020.


There are more and more signs that Bitcoin is regaining strength , even if they are controversial. But the chances of better conditions for the mining companies are at least increasing. According to Blockware, the surrender, as signaled by the hash ribbons, should be over before the summer.


“If there are no new Bitcoin lows, we can expect the miner capitulation to end in August or September at the latest,” the newsletter continues.

Difficulty should end multi-month downtrend

The first on-chain signals are already visible that the miners are getting back into shape. For example, adjusting Bitcoin difficulty.


Mining difficulty will rise again on August 4th for the first time in two months, after previously correcting down three times in a row.


"Currently, an increase is forecast and there is a high probability that it will remain so," summarized Blockware.


If the price stays at the current level, the increase will be rather modest at around 0.5 percent. For comparison, the previous decrease in difficulty was 5 percent.

The 5 largest platforms for non-fungible token (NFT) collectibles

  Since the beginning of 2021, non-fungible tokens (NFT) have had no holding back and the sector is setting new records almost every day.  More and more artists, stars and brands are realizing the potential - NFT are well on their way to catapulting the crypto space into the mainstream.  But which collectibles are currently the most popular? What are NFT? NFT are unique tokens that cannot be exchanged one-for-one for an equivalent token.  Any asset that is tokenizable can be an NFT.  This includes, for example, (digital) works of art, trading cards, game items and crypto domains.  Theoretically, however, real estate or securities can also be mapped as NFT. NFTs can be used to transparently map ownership structures on a public blockchain.  This allows them to store value just like real objects, even if additional copies are easy to make.  For example, the original picture of the Mona Lisa is significantly more valuable than a photo, as everyone kno...

CARDALONIA: THE CARDANO METAVERSE OPENS THE GATES!

  Have you ever been to Cardalonia? With these words, the Cardano Metaverse called Cardalonia starts the gates. In this 3D world, developers and users can interact with each other. First of all, users have to create an individual character with which they can move online. After that you can enter one of the worlds built by developers with this character. You can also purchase your own land in the Cardano Metaverse via the marketplaces in Cardalonia . This is secured by Cardano's blockchain technology and therefore offers a relatively secure transfer of ownership. Since these are only digital plots of land, it is not yet entirely clear when the plots of land are purchased whether they can also be sold again in the future. A possible profit cannot be estimated at the moment. In Cardalonia, the cryptocurrency Lonia is used. The maximum amount of tokens in circulation is 100,000,000. The team consists of Alice Sand (Co-Founder), Vasil Air (CTO) and Dustan Water (Fullstack Developer). T...
