Odaily Planet Daily News Bitcoin's hash rate is expected to reach 1 Zettahash per second (ZH/s) before the next halving event in about 3.5 years, putting pressure on miners to secure cheap electricity deals and more efficient equipment. Since 2020, the hash rate has increased by an average of 65% per year, and the current seven-day moving average is about 787 EH/s. At 1 ZH/s, miners need to find more creative ways to maintain operations and adapt to a more challenging market. Hash rate is an important part of Bitcoin miners' profitability. The higher the hash rate, the higher the energy cost, which is why it is so important for miners to optimize their business operations. At the same time, it is also related to network security, which has appreciated 56% over the past year. (CoinDesk)
