Flat Momentum
There was a flat rise of 0.00% in the difficulty of mining Bitcoin in the previous 24 hours. As this statistic was recorded at block 853,077.

To put it in perspective, the Bitcoin mining difficulty measure indicates how challenging it will be to mine the next block. In order to obtain the mining incentive and solve the next Bitcoin block, it measures the amount of hashes that need to be created.
Moreover, the metric is modified often. An increase in the Bitcoin difficulty is necessary to prevent the rapid generation of blocks caused by an increase in hashing power. A difficulty re-target block, which can be used to raise or lower the difficulty, is included to manage this. At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading at $66,670, up 0.60% in the last 24 hours as per data from CMC.
