【BitPush】Bitcoin mining difficulty has just undergone an adjustment. At block height 933,408, the mining difficulty decreased by 3.28%, dropping to 141.67T. This is not a minor fluctuation—it’s the largest decline in over half a year.

What does a difficulty adjustment mean? Simply put, it means the mining threshold has become easier. When network hash rate declines or hash rate distribution changes, the system automatically lowers the difficulty to maintain block production speed. This time, the adjustment was so significant, reflecting that miners have indeed experienced quite a few changes recently. For small and medium miners, such adjustments often present an opportunity window, easing cost pressures.

ngl this 3.28% drop feels like the network finally exhaled after holding its breath. half a year since we saw something this spicy, and suddenly small miners don't get completely obliterated? imagine that.

It's that difficulty adjustment again; small and medium miners must be able to catch their breath.
