How Bitcoin miners can survive a hostile market — and the 2024 halving

Image
Bitcoin mining is becoming harder — which means miners will have to spend more to receive fewer rewards. But there are still ways to be profitable. Only seven months remain before the next Bitcoin (BTC) halving in April 2024. It happens approximately every four years and is a deflationary process that cuts the production of new coins by 50%. Bitcoin's halving is a high-profile event for crypto investors, and has historically led to an increase in Bitcoin's price. However, its impact on the mining industry is a more complex issue. It reduces block rewards,  one of the primary revenue streams for miners. The 2024 halving will reduce it from 6.25 BTC to 3.125 BTC. That’s why miners must adapt their strategies to compensate for the reduced rewards resulting from the halving. Let’s explore the strategies and alternative income sources that may help Bitcoin miners amid hostile market conditions.

Filbfilb analyzes Bitcoin’s halving pattern to predict an explosive Q4 for BTC price action. The familiar Bitcoin halving cycle has turned heads again, hinting at a significant shift in BTC price behavior as the final quarter of 2023 approaches. With industry experts closely monitoring the trend, many smart investors are taking advantage of the situation, positioning themselves for a notable surge in value. Bitcoin’s price seems destined to remain rangebound until at least the fourth quarter of 2023, a prediction made by Filbfilb, an esteemed market analyst and co-founder of the crypto analytics platform Decentrader. As revealed in a thread on X (previously known as Twitter), Filbfilb advised his followers that they should brace for stagnation in BTC price leading into the year’s end. This advice comes despite a bullish 70% gain for Bitcoin in Q1. The Macro backdrop is obviously much different this cycle to that of prior cycles, but nevertheless, let's look at th...

On the latest episode of Cointelegraph’s Market Talks , host Ray Salmond spoke with Dan Rosen, associate director of derivatives at Luxor, a United States-based Bitcoin (BTC) mining pool, research hub and service provider.

According to Rosen: “Any maturing asset goes through experiences of high volatility when it first launches, and if you compare Bitcoin to the tech stocks of the early 90s, like Apple and Google, their volatility was astronomical. Bitcoin has also touched crazy high levels of volatility in the 70% to 100...
