Welcome to a new paradigm... Bitcoin Electrical Cost is now a whopping $77.4K.

This is the raw electricity cost to power the network, per Bitcoin mined. Bitcoin Miner Price hit $244K on Saturday! This is the block reward + fees per Bitcoin mined. It boomed as transaction fees hit $230+ (about 4X the prior ATH of $68 set in 2021). This means Bitcoin is trading at a DEEP DISCOUNT. Price under Electrical Cost typically lasts just a couple days every 4 years. This means 1 of 3 things happens now: 1) Price skyrockets 2) ~15% of miners shut down 3) Transaction fees remain a lot higher on average Source: Charles Edwards
