As we know it has some connections but hash rate is growing and growing ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) About price we cannot say the same. But - it is growing according to the price from a last year.

The cost of mining follows the bitcoin price. Hashrate per cost unit increases due to better equipment. Then there is a time lag to produce equipment. Then there is speculative errors on the hand of the miners.

The thing is that most people that just now setup their mining machines bought them in the biggest upswing ever. Now that they received them, they barely cover the electricity cost but what else would they do with it?

They will hoard their coins until they are well paid for them.

They will hoard their coins until they are well paid for them. Time tells no lies after all either they break even or they just keep running until it just becomes way to costly to do so even with giant price increases

the hashrate will drop significantly because only a few ppl mining it and transaction confirmation i slooooww

No, I will not disclose my real name on the Internet. The very simple reason I’m anonymous is so that I can talk freely about a free web. One mistake people often make is having the faulty assumption that knowing my real name or my association with a respected person, group or organization might get them to trust me more. In fact, I have no authority here. Elastic Project is a loosely associated group of developers which constantly changes over time. If you prefer projects with a more centralized structure, then please move on. Specifically, I kindly ask you to refrain from any messages that try to convince me of the contrary. My time is too valuable to be wasted with the same discussion again and again.

But if all miners switch off -- there is NO coin. NO transaction. NO confirmation.

The Bitcoin specification provides that if the mining becomes too difficult, and the time for confirmations gets too long, the difficulty is adjusted to become easier so that the average confirmation time will remain at 10 minutes.

Higher difficulty -> higher each BTC cost of production -> higher BTC/USD price. Therefore if the difficulty will continue rising, the price will catch up almost certainly!

Higher price of bitcoins -> more profitable to mine -> more mining -> higher difficulty.

Higher price of bitcoins -> more profitable to mine -> more mining -> higher difficulty. Agree. And then it goes back around from higher difficulty > higher price I guess. Maybe if the developers of mining gear don't follow up, we will reach a point where mining isn't profitable anymore (regarding to the energy costs it take), and then it will stay at a stable level. But this won't be the fact of the developers keep developing more efficient gear.

Higher price of bitcoins -> more profitable to mine -> more mining -> higher difficulty. That's how this works. I remember when BTC price hits the record in 2013 ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) wow so many new miners come in few weeks ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) So many new Bitcoin users

So, according to that we will hit the 2000$ this year? Let's see if this is going to happen. I would love to ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) . But not yet, yet I keep trading my fiat for more BTC ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) . Edit; this post was in reaction to a post which just dissapeared with a graph.

There seems to be a strong correlation between fiat price and hashrate. Below I present you a composite graphic showing overlay of hashrate and price. Both graphed on log scale so we can see the details over the whole time range. Quite fitting! ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.game4coins.com%2Fbtc%2Fhashprice.png&t=665&c=Rlo38wJ-gtZVeQ)
