Mining is like that. Sometimes you have blocks seconds apart and sometimes hours. It evens out over time. If this happens too often, difficulty hikes. I think miners of these 7 blocks are lucky, doesn't happen often.

Big companies have money and a power plant producing free electricity.
They can afford to mine Bitcoin even if the price of Bitcoin is only $1 per coin.

Oh? Where does the money to build the plant come from, and where does the energy come from to produce this "free" electricity?

When the price is $1, the difficulty will be much lower. However, initial investment is required.
