So, Bitcoin mining difficulty. Honestly. It’s like dating in London – constantly getting harder, and requiring increasingly sophisticated equipment (or, in the dating world, filters). Apparently, it reached a staggering 148.2 trillion in the final adjustment of 2025. Trillion. It doesn’t even sound real, does it? It’s just… a lot of numbers. 🙄
- Basically, Bitcoin finished 2025 with this difficulty level, which is up 35% from January. Thirty-five percent! It means more people (or, more accurately, more machines) are trying to win the Bitcoin lottery. It’s getting competitive. Really competitive.
- It peaked at 156 trillion in November, which is… well, a larger number. It’s now a slightly more manageable 149.3 trillion projected for January 8th, 2026. Progress, I suppose. 🤏
- Apparently, this constant increase means miners are upgrading their tech, even after the whole ‘halving’ thing (which, let’s face it, sounds terrifying) and despite Bitcoin’s price being slightly down on the year. They’re… committed. Like me to finding a decent takeaway on a Friday night.
This represents a 35% hike from January 1st, 2025. A year of expansion, they say. I say a year of increasingly powerful computers working very hard. It’s all a bit much, isn’t it? 🤯
Apparently, ‘mining difficulty’ measures how tricky it is for miners to find a new ‘block’. (Is anyone else picturing Lego?) The Bitcoin people adjust this every two weeks to keep things ticking over nicely, regardless of how much computing power is being thrown at it. Higher difficulty = more miners = a more secure blockchain. Which is good. 👍
According to CoinWarz (who clearly have a very exciting job), the peak was November 11th. The lowest point recently was late October. Honestly, it sounds exhausting just keeping track of it all.
So, it’s 5% down from November’s peak, but still 35% up from the start of the year. Miners are deploying more… stuff. More powerful, efficient, shiny stuff. It’s a technological arms race, basically.
January 8th? Another adjustment. Another increase to 149.3 trillion. The numbers just keep coming. 😵💫
The price of Bitcoin and the difficulty seem to be doing their own thing. When the difficulty peaked, so did the price. Earlier, when the price hit a record, the difficulty was… also pretty high. It’s all very… circular.
Currently, Bitcoin is down 4% from the start of 2025. But miners are persevering, bless them, even after the ‘halving’ event. Very determined people, these miners. Very determined. Still, I think I’ll stick to online shopping. It’s less stressful. 🤷♀️
