The Bitcoin (BTC) hash rate, the estimated number of terahashes per second produced by all Bitcoin (BTC) mining rigs, has already recovered to the ranges it was in before the market crash. The network difficulty, which is an indicator of how difficult it is to mine a new Bitcoin (BTC) block, is also doing well and has bounced back 6%. At press time, Bitcoin (BTC) network difficulty was near its January level, sitting at 14.715 TH/s.
Such positive statistics can provide confidence for a community that believe it's too early to bury Bitcoin (BTC). A 'death spiral', which is a hypothetical scenario for the overall mining capitulation, has been postponed one more time.
