Feels a bit ... "unfair" to see this topic not getting any replies after the people are picking their lottery tickets.
But , straight to the topic , the last drop in the graph on bwisdom , it is a glitch , miners getting unlucky or it is a really sharp drop driven by miners turning down hardware ?
Miners all over the world are getting their power bills. Most of us get a bill on the same day each month but it could be any day.
So a guy in USA gets a bill on July 5
A guy in France gets a bill on July 6
a guy in Eygpt gets a bill on July 7
a guy in Russia gets a bill on July 8
so on and so forth. They look at the bill and see the truth my s-5 is a loser my avalon 4 is a loser. Slowly but surely they are turning off gear.
