Still a bit off pace.
Very likely if it continues it was caused by Ethiopia shutdowns.

I had thought they were 3-6% of all mining

and we are off by 4.8% so it is right in line

we are but 5 days in with 9 to go.

Interesting to note, that despite the appreciation that Bitcoin has had in recent weeks, nothing special but it has, we are not seeing a very significant increase in difficulty.

yeah it could be lining up like 2017 did.

We were mooning and hash was stable.

Yes, but in 2017 we saw the market subsequently giving a major boost to mining.

Given the current circumstances, does something similar seem to be emerging?
