The head of the investment fund spoke about the break-even point in the field of mining
If the exchange rate drops below 34 thousand dollars for 1 BTC it will be unprofitable to mine
Last week, former Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey confirmed numerous rumors about the creation of a new project in the field of BTC mining. This had a positive effect on the hashrate level, raising it to a new high in 116 million TH/s.
