Bitcoin's #difficulty adjustment counters #Moore's Law. It ensures the electro-computational cost of hashing remains high, no matter how fast and efficient our computers become, by increasing the hashing difficulty ad infinitum.
Bitcoin ASICs chase an ever-receding horizon. No amount of ASIC efficiency will make the Bitcoin network use less energy. This high physical cost for producing Bitcoin or updating its ledger is a core feature, not a bug. We WANT it to be too physically expensive for any centralized entity to write the ledger. That is the primary #mechanism of Bitcoin's decentralization.
The 2nd-order effects of this are also highly beneficial for humanity. #Energy producers and chipmakers are financially incentivized to find better/cheaper energy sources and more efficient computers to gain a temporary comparative advantage in hashing. The end result is more abundant energy, faster and more efficient computers, and more secure ledger. #Mining
It's a win-win-win.

#Miner Strategy Shifts: An Analysis of #MPI, #Difficulty, and #Fees
“The combined signals from MPI, difficulty, and fee metrics reveal a clear departure from past patterns. Miners appear increasingly focused on accumulation, while the network itself grows stronger.”

#HISTORY: Satoshi Nakamoto Explained ‘Difficulty Adjustment’
“As computers get faster and the total computing power applied to creating bitcoins increases, the #difficulty increases proportionally to keep the total new production constant. Thus, it is known in advance how many new bitcoin will be created in the future.”

Bitcoin difficulty just retreated, but a more critical “survival metric” signals the mining sector is bleeding out

Some miners switched machines off in June when #BTC fell below $60,000, and #difficulty dropped 10.1%.
Weeks later most of that capacity is back, difficulty up 7% on July 2.
The relief window for surviving miners is closing.
The mid-July adjustment is the tell.
