Bitcoin (BTC) is defying popular of "miners follow the money" - as the price is constantly on the unravel, and burrows even below $6, 000, mining is as active as ever.

BTC prices have been down 75%, and in the meantime, hashing power emerged online, to increase BTC mining by more than 300%. BTC hashing electricity has become more than 43 million TH/s, three times higher when compared to levels at the start of 2018. The trend has expanded in past times two months, while BTC Prices slid from $9, 000 to $6, 000 and below - mining almost doubled their pace lately.

Miners have shared that for some, BTC is getting worryingly close to breakeven levels. It is unknown what happens if miners work solely for profit, without altruistic mining. What is even more curious, is that since the start of 2018, Bitcoin transactions have stagnated below 200,000 in 24 hours, consistently 4-5 times lower than Ethereum transactions. With increased mining, each transaction is much more expensive in electricity and equipment utilized.

Since mining pays out, some believe it would stop the decline in BTC prices. For a few miners, breakeven is somewhat lower, though, at $4, 400. This means that even at current prices, it can be slightly feasible to continue mining.

Right now, the crypto market is almost at equilibrium, based on modeled behavior. However, there is no unified judgment for breakeven prices for mining, as only a few hashing power has come online at the same time and at the same rate. Mining farms likewise have different costs.
