Does it mean some miners dropped out ? I don't this is a good thing to Bitcoin,it should be keep going up.
The value of Bitcoin now is lower than before ,it's believe that there's not much profit for miner to keep the machine running,especially for personal miner.
if there is not much profit for the personal miner, then the large mining farms are bound to be powering down.
Where the personal miner can sustain costs in 'prospecting' a large farm still has it's massive overheads to pay.
I welcome a drop in price.
