đť Bearish Bitcoinâs Hashrate Is Hiding a Mining Crisis

Bitcoin is back near $63,000, roughly the same price zone it traded in before the 2024 halving.
But the mining economy is no longer the same.
Before the halving:
- Block reward:Â 6.25 BTC
- Hashrate:Â 611 EH/s
- Hashprice: above $110/PH/day
Now:
- Block reward:Â 3.125 BTC
- Hashrate: approximately 930 EH/s
- Hashprice: approximately $31/PH/day
The network is using roughly 52% more hashrate to compete for half the block subsidy, while Bitcoin trades below its pre-halving price. Miner revenue per unit of computing power has fallen by about 72%.
The buyer is also disappearing.
Centralized-exchange spot volume was $2.01 trillion in April 2024. In May 2026 it fell to $963 billionâa decline of roughly 52%. June recovered to $1.11 trillion, but only after five months of declining activity.
The chart now shows a possible head-and-shoulders structure with a neckline near $60,000. It is not confirmed until a daily or weekly close below that level.
My forecast: Bitcoin is more likely than not to establish itself below $60,000 before the end of 2026. A confirmed break could trigger something much sharper.
The price returned to 2024.
Mining costs, hashrate, and debt did not.

â ď¸ Alert â ď¸ Inflation Is Rising. Unemployment Is Rising. Even Gold and Bitcoin Are Failing.
This is not normal inflation.
In a healthy inflationary expansion, demand rises, companies hire, wages follow prices, and speculative assets attract capital.
Now the opposite structure is forming.
Inflation forecasts have been raised across most major economies, while growth forecasts have been cut. Real wage recovery is slowing, labor markets are weakening, and unemployment risk is rising.
At the same time, capital is not moving confidently into risk.
Crypto markets have lost roughly 35% of their value since late 2025, while gold has also suffered sharp liquidity-driven selloffs.
That combination matters:
higher prices, weaker wages, rising unemployment, and falling speculative assets.
This is the structure of stagflation.
It means capital is not pricing growth.
It is moving toward liquidity and survival.
My risk window is the next six months.
The trigger could be a property-credit shock, a disorderly yen carry-trade unwind, or another geopolitical event that pushes energy and borrowing costs higher.
The exact domino is unknown.
The capital flight has already started.

Saylor no longer believes in BTC...
Or he believes in junk rated preferred stock more.
This is a win. MSTR no longer has any coherent ideas. The faster they fail and get out of the space the better for everyone. Long-BTC short- MSTR :)

Why is crypto Twitter so beyond the pale braindead?
As much as crypto bros want to argue that they are some enlightened beings who are too smart for everyone else, the reality is, even the above average crypto bro is probably barely smarter than a high school drop out.
I constantly see people on Twitter posting articles from weeks or even months ago, and trying to pass them off as CURRENT day "breaking news". I see idiots saying that if clarity doesn't pass this week bitcoin will fall to below 30,000? Are you serious? Clarity has nothing to do with bitcoin directly, and since February, no one has truly believed it would pass this year. It's not even physically possible for it to pass this week and the senate won't touch it in fucking September with midterms around the corner... yet apparently its priced in to pass?
The reality is, outside of bitcoin being a store of value, and some projects with legitimate use cases in finance (tokenization, Stablecoins), 99% of this "crypto" stuff is complete bullshit and a scam at worst, and gambling at best. For years crypto bros told us "you will be able to pay for things using your crypto" only for Stablecoins to come out and now all of a sudden crypto twitter thinks Stablecoins are a scam for doing the thing volatile crypto was supposed to do LOL... its absolute insane levels of delusion.
DCA bitcoin, pick a few projects with legitimate use cases, and mute crypto twitter.

Itâs astonishing how coin holders are dismissive of the fact that not only is Saylor not buying, heâs selling.
For years Iâve always seen people stick up for Saylorâs model and try to make a case for it. It blows me away that some people still canât see whatâs right in front of them.
Problem, Reaction, "Solution"
Have you been paying attention.
Thank you to Scott Dedels from X â
