Most people think Bitcoin's price is the only number that matters for miners. It's not.
In this video, we break down the four things that actually drive Bitcoin mining revenue — and introduce you to hashprice, the single most important metric in the mining industry.
You'll learn:
- What hashrate is and why it's a commodity
- What hashprice means and how it works
- The four variables that move hashprice (Bitcoin price, network difficulty, block subsidy, and transaction fees)
- Why network difficulty is the most misunderstood — and most important — variable in mining
This is Video 1 in our Hashrate Markets Explained series, where we break down how the hashrate forward market works from scratch. No finance background required.
