I want to share a situation I've been following continuously. Since this incident was exposed, the overall network hash rate has started to weaken. The difficulty adjustment initially remained relatively stable, then dropped by 1.2%, and the forecast for next week suggests a further decline of 4.3%. The real reason behind this wave of hash rate decline is quite interesting— is it the direct impact of policy bans, or are miners proactively adjusting their demand in response, or are other factors at play? Each possibility has a different impact on the mining landscape.

Hash rate continues to decline, and this difficulty adjustment seems to be ongoing. Miners are probably all waiting and watching.

Here comes the computing power storm again. Is this really the real deal this time or just another false alarm? --- Difficulty keeps dropping, miners are starting to panic? --- Basically, everyone is still waiting; no one wants to be the bag holder. --- How long can the current policies last? Anyway, history will always repeat itself. --- If the price continues to fall next week, then it’s worth paying attention. It’s too early to say anything now. --- Are miners voluntarily reducing speed or are they forced? The difference is huge. --- Who is really behind the shrinking hash rate? Curious. --- It seems everyone is betting on whether the policies will actually be implemented. The wait-and-see crowd is winning big.

The recent fluctuations in hash rate are indeed strange; it feels like it's not just about policies anymore. If miners were truly scared, they would have already run away. Now, it seems more like they're testing the bottom line? The difficulty drop isn't significant, indicating that some people are still holding on stubbornly. This is the real big show—much more interesting than just price fluctuations. It's probably a combination of policy and miner sentiment, who knows? How much the difficulty can drop next week depends on how the "chosen" configuration reacts.

Hash rate plunges, and miners have to guess riddles again

If the computing power continues to drop like this, we need to think it over. It feels like it's not just about policies.
