Bitcoin miners are dealing with lots of pressure following the recent difficulty adjustment increase on Nov. 20, 2022, and the leading crypto asset dropping further in value against the U.S. dollar following FTX’s collapse. Statistics recorded this past weekend show that bitcoin’s average cost of production has been a lot higher than bitcoin’s USD value recorded on spot market exchanges.
On Sunday, Bitcoin.com reported on Bitcoin’s difficulty rising by 0.51% at block height 764,064, and the increase pushed the difficulty to an all-time high at 36.95 trillion. After that difficulty transition, data shows the overall global hashrate dropped from 317 exahash per second (EH/s) to 233 EH/s.
The hashrate is currently coasting along at 250.59 EH/s, according to records from coinwarz.com. At the same time, BTC’s fiat value dropped a great deal after FTX collapsed and filed for bankruptcy protection.
Statistics on Nov. 21, 2022, show that the cost of bitcoin production is much higher than BTC’s current USD spot market value. The metrics recorded by macromicro.me indicate that the average mining cost is $19,662 today, while the USD value of BTC is recorded at 16,120 nominal U.S. dollars per unit.
The macromicro.me statistics indicate that bitcoin’s price in comparison to the cost of BTC production has been lower since Oct. 6, 2022. Macromicro.me says that the web portal uses data collected from Cambridge University in order to “find out the average mining costs of bitcoin.”
“When mining costs are lower than bitcoin’s market value, more miners will join,” the macromicro.me website details. “When mining costs are higher than miner’s revenue, [the] number of miners will decrease.”
In addition to the metrics showcased on macromicro.me, Glassnode’s hash price chart indicates that the hash price is at an all-time low. The chart highlights a “metric for estimating daily miner incomes, relative to their estimated contribution to network hash-power,” Glassnode’s description notes.
Analytics from braiins.com also indicate that the current hash value is lower than the current hash price. Similar to macromicro.me’s stats, braiins.com metrics show the change occurred around Oct. 6, 2022. If bitcoin prices don’t increase or if they drop lower, a number of BTC Mining operations will face a squeeze out of the industry if they are not facing this situation already.

Central Bank of Brazil Confirms It Will Run a Pilot Test for Its CBDC This Year
The Central Bank of Brazil has confirmed that the institution will run a pilot test regarding the implementation of its proposed central bank digital currency (CBDC), the digital real. Roberto Campos Neto, president of the bank, also stated that this ... read more.
Near protocol fell to its lowest level in over sixteen months, as bearish pressure intensified on Nov. 21. Overall, cryptocurrencies started the week trading lower, following increased speculation on a prolonged market crash. Algorand was another notable token to fall, dropping by over 11% today.
Near protocol (NEAR) dropped to its lowest level in over one year, as the token extended recent declines.
NEAR/USD fell to a low of $1.50 on Monday, slipping for a sixth straight session in the process.
This drop in price has seen NEAR move to its weakest point since July 20 last year, and it has since settled on its floor of $1.50.
Looking at the chart, prices have since rebounded from the point of support, and as of writing the token is trading at $1.55.
On the other hand, the 14-day relative strength index (RSI) was unable to remain above its floor of 24.50, and is currently tracking at 22.85.
In order for NEAR to move further away from the $1.50 point, we will likely need to see the index climb closer to a reading of 25.00.
Algorand (ALGO) was another notable mover to start the week, with prices dropping by over 11% in today’s session.
Following a high of $0.2855 over the weekend, ALGO/USD moved to an intraday low of $0.2452 on Monday.
The move saw the token fall below a key support point of $0.25, as bears seem to be pushing price to a floor of $0.24.
Looking at the chart, the RSI is hovering at a floor of its own at 38.20, which seems to be helping prevent further declines in price.
However, should a breakout occur, this will likely push bears to intensify market pressure, potentially sending the token to the target mentioned above.
As of writing, ALGO is trading at $0.2496, which is almost 12% lower than yesterday’s high.

PRESS RELEASE. Token 2049 London, a packed crypto event in Europe, continues to accept applications from foreseeable projects. Over the past two weeks, a large number of attendees have gathered here to hear the latest statements from Web3 leaders. Shorter Finance’s CPO, Stan Wells, was invited to speak at the conference.
Stan, who is regarded as a gifted trader, pushed the atmosphere to a climax with his powerful remarks. In contrast to other wordy presentations, Stan summarized what an orderly and healthy decentralized financial hierarchy should look like and what users should learn from the chaos caused by SBF’s infamous inappropriate use of deposits for irrational gambling.
Considering the collapse of FTX and the rise of the DeFi sector, Stan firmly stated, “The players’ desire for a transparent transaction process is inevitably leading this industry in the right direction.” It is antithetical to the nature of blockchain that users hand over their assets to someone. Blockchain originalism clarifies that users should only trust the code, which is the major premise to dictate their asset flows.” Add to that, he cited FTX-ish centralized exchanges, “the order of the financial markets on the blockchain hasn’t been erected for long enough, too many problems are blurred by noise when markets are spoiled.”
FTX’s string of pseudo moves is reportedly tearing the vast majority of projects stuck in this dilemma apart. Exploiting users’ unconditional trust to dispose of funds in a centralized manner is a common feature these projects share. It is difficult to gauge how many individuals and institutions were devastated to death in this financial crisis, watching helplessly as their assets tumbled to the ground.
Once a user’s assets enter blind spots, a thoroughly trackable process of transactions and disposition is essential to ensuring safety. That means all fund flows and reserves must be able to be identified in wallets or blockchain browsers.
Aiming to aid insecure investors in surviving this cruel bear market, Shorter Finance is constantly committed to sparing users’ exposure to threats from product design and the trading process.
Single-sided token farming
Using Shorter, users are able to stake up to one token in the protocol in one go and absorb interest earned by the auto-run procedure. Those who stake their coins can deposit their idle tokens directly for revenue without having to sacrifice their altcoin for a stablecoin. Blockchain-based infrastructures take over users’ funds, significantly improving financial efficiency. By being in users’ hands, funds will never be corrupted by unaccountable centralized entities, and the scheme can increase fund efficiency to new heights.
Trader-centric margin trading
Scandals involving users’ deposits repeatedly occurred between centralized exchanges. Shorter Finance grants users the ability to engage in a secure transaction process simply by interacting with a set of smart contracts via their wallets without losing transparency and flexibility. By using algorithms and unstoppable mechanisms, traders can be spontaneously motivated to mitigate potential risks, execute trading strategies, and contain unexpected risks in a small room.
Centralized exchanges’ unfair liquidation rules for margin trading, born with the flaws of high centralization and low transparency, have been doing traders’ financial disservices for years. In contrast, users can perform margin trading on Shorter entirely with the help of smart contracts. All of these decentralized mechanisms running on the Shorter protocol ensure that users maintain their right to dispose of their positions throughout the transaction process.
Continuing on the theme of the FTX tumble, Matt Huang, the Co-Founder of Paradigm, told reporters that one of the critical things for the company was to figure out what sort of partnership Shorter could offer. Huang emphasized with reporters again that decentralized derivatives trading products like Shorter will be the wave generators in the next mega-trend after experiencing a loss during the FTX saga.
