Bitcoin miners revenue plunged 23 percent in July

Thermocap is a market capitalization alternative that was introduced by CoinMetrics co-founder Nic Carter.

It combines mining resources spent on the network that consist of block rewards and transaction fees.

Following Bitcoin’s 50 percent subsidy cut to 6.25 BTC per block, the revenue of Bitcoin miners shrank 23 percent to $281 mln in July.

Bitcoin fees, which are now down 85 percent from their May 20 peak of an average $6.647 per transaction, accounted only for four percent of the aforementioned sum.

Ethereum, on the other hand, recently reached its highest proportion of mining revenue from fees to date (18 percent).

Bitcoin’s difficulty is expected to increase four percent in roughly 10 days, which will make it harder for miners to generate revenue (unless the BTC increases substantially).
