While BTC Price Sits at $10,4k-10,5k Levels, Bitcoin Network Set for New Hash Rate Record

Bitcoin’s general price trajectory in recent times has not been exactly encouraging. Recently, the price successfully has hit the $10,000 mark, a point where many experts consider very important for the price as it largely increases the coin’s chance of a rally. Regardless of the current sideways swing, Bitcoin has been showing very promising signs where the hash rate is concerned.

Recent data from the crypto wallet and monitoring service, Blockchain.com, has shown that Bitcoin has set a new hash rate record above 94 quintillion hashes per second and is well on its way to hitting 100 quintillion mark.

Hashrate Trajectory

Hashrate is a term used to describe or measure the amount of computing power being channeled by Bitcoin miners all over the world, for the processing of Bitcoin transactions as well as new blocks. Generally, as the rate increases, the Bitcoin network becomes much stronger and secure.

Back in 2018, the hash rate was nothing to write about and stayed that way for about six months up until January 2019 when things began to pick up slowly. However, over the last few months, it has been quite promising and has gone on to hit new records.

However, it seems the speed of the hash rate upward surge, in recent times, has been gathering considerable speed. Around this time last year, the hash rate stood somewhere around 55 quintillion hashes per second. By the 29th of June, this number had gone on to 68.6 and less than a week after that, the hash rate hit 74.5 quintillion.

Bitcoin Will Threaten Fiat

If history is anything to go by, hash rate improvements almost always have a significant effect on prices within a short period. This opinion has been corroborated by Max Keiser, the popular RT host. Also, as earlier stated, Bitcoin’s hash rate began to pick up in January and a few months later in April, a rally began.

Now, Keiser has taken to Twitter to give a grim outlook for the fate of “fiat systems”, if Bitcoin successfully reaches 100 quintillion any time soon. He stated in his post:

“Bitcoin hash set to break 100 Q. This will start to become a problem for fiat as data centers dedicated to maintaining fiat systems are pulled into the BTC black hole of true value.”

It might also be important to note Bakkt’s upcoming launch of physically settled Bitcoin futures as opposed to the use of fiat currencies which has been in use for some time now. There is the general notion that since this is the first time a service like this has been approved by regulatory authorities, institutions might now be willing to join the Bitcoin market with two feet in.

The fact that hash rates are surging dramatically can be viewed as another reason there will be an increased institutional investment.

Op Ed: Debunking Bitcoin Myths: ‘It’s a Ponzi Scheme’

The accusation that bitcoin is nothing more than a Ponzi scheme is perhaps the oldest, longest-standing criticism of the digital bearer asset. The basic idea is that there is nothing of value here and the entire purpose of bitcoin’s existence is to enrich Satoshi Nakamoto and the speculators who bought in for a few pennies or dollars in the early days by tricking others into buying in at a higher price.

Research reveals surprising relationship between climate change and fertility rate

Climate change will shape every aspect of human life – often in complex ways. Take the question of deciding how many children to have, for example. A new analysis suggests that climate change could increase fertility rates in tropical countries, in turn magnifying the impacts of climate change on those countries and widening the gap between wealthy and poorer nations.
