It's is very expensive to mine bitcoins,setting up the mining rig etc. And to answer your question,if there are less transactions,the price of bitcoin drops as well as the hashrate which makes mining bitcoins less profitable. The more reason why miners usually shut down their mining rigs in such periods.

Which One Is Wrong By The Way? Maybe I Could Provide You With The EvidenceGood thing OP clarify the 90% of bitcoin own by 1% richest address. I almost freak out when I read the OP.
