Bitcoin Mining Could Be Profitable After All If Price And Transaction Fees Rise
Bitcoin mining is a process of writing and verifying transactions on the blockchain. To generate new coins, miners have to solve complex puzzles. The puzzles are designed in such a way that they can only be solved by a computer capable of performing a cryptographic function called a hash function.
This process requires incredible computing power, which means that mining is usually done with specialized hardware called ASICs (application-specific integrated circuits). This type of hardware is made specifically for bitcoin mining purposes - it is not designed for any other purpose.
The Bitcoin network is currently facing a high number of transactions per second (Tps) as well as increasing fees due to its growing popularity. These two factors have led some to wonder if Bitcoin mining will still be profitable in the future as prices rise or transaction fees rise further.
If we look at the current situation, it seems unlikely that bitcoin mining will be profitable in the long term as two factors seem to be moving in opposite directions at the moment:
