"Many U.S. bitcoin miners that were funded when bitcoin's price started rising in November and December of 2020 means that they were already building out their power capacity when the China mining ban took hold," he said. According to the newly-released Cambridge data, just before the Chinese mining ban began, the country accounted for 46% of the world's total hashrate, an industry term used to describe the collective computing power of the bitcoin network. ./cache/blog-dshr-org-645.html ./txt/blog-dshr-org-645.txt
