Bitcoin mining difficulty has risen by 6.31% to reach 155.97 trillion, marking an all-time high for the network. This increase reflects the rising complexity of mining Bitcoin as more miners participate. The difficulty adjustment is part of Bitcoin’s protocol, which aims to maintain a consistent block production time. Significant fluctuations in mining participation can lead to these adjustments, ensuring stability in the network. As the difficulty increases, miners must invest in more advanced hardware and strategies to remain competitive.
