Bitcoin production costs just hit an all-time high. Miners are now spending an average of $74,600 to extract a single $BTC—and that's just the baseline. When you factor in the full operational overhead? We're talking around $137,800 per coin. The economics of mining are getting brutal, and these numbers tell a story about network difficulty, energy prices, and what miners are actually willing to endure to keep the chain running.

The mining cost is almost catching up with the BTC price. Who can handle that?

With mining costs so high, small miners should have gone bankrupt long ago.

The mining costs are so outrageous; you have to spend over a hundred thousand just to mine one coin... How can small miners even play anymore?
