Bitcoin Hashrate Is Dropping… And Difficulty Is About To Fall

Bitcoin mining is getting extremely competitive in 2026. In this video I go over the recent drop in the Bitcoin network hashrate and the upcoming Bitcoin difficulty adjustment that could make mining slightly easier. We also look at the current Litecoin and Dogecoin mining situation as Scrypt hashrate begins to fall due to profitability issues with older miners like the Antminer L7. Finally, BitDeer has announced a brand new Scrypt miner — the SealMiner DL1. With a claimed efficiency of 0.149 J/MH, it could potentially compete with the popular Antminer L9 and reshape the Scrypt mining landscape. Topics covered: • Bitcoin network hashrate trends • Upcoming Bitcoin difficulty drop • Why miners are shutting machines off • Litecoin & Dogecoin mining profitability • New SealMiner DL1 specs and efficiency • Future of Bitcoin and Scrypt mining If you enjoy crypto mining content, make sure to subscribe!
