## Bitcoin Mining Difficulty Adjustment The Bitcoin network underwent a mining difficulty adjustment on November 27th, decreasing by 1.95% to 149.30T. This adjustment, which occurred around 10:16 AM KST, reflects a fluctuating hash rate within the Bitcoin network. ## Hash Rate and Future Adjustments At the time of the adjustment, the 7-day average hash rate for the Bitcoin network was approximately 1.02 ZH/s. The current hash rate sits slightly higher, at 1.07 ZH/s. Difficulty adjustments are designed to maintain a consistent block creation time of roughly 10 minutes. The next adjustment is estimated to occur in approximately 14 days. ## Implications for Bitcoin Miners A decrease in mining difficulty typically benefits miners by making it slightly easier and less resource-intensive to mine Bitcoin. This can lead to increased profitability for miners, particularly those with older or less efficient equipment. This adjustment reflects the dynamic nature of the Bitcoin network and its self-regulating mechanisms. ```
