Hash Rate of Bitcoin Mysteriously Crashed 40%

Bitcoin’s hash rate fell as much as 40% on September 23, in an unexpected shock for the network. From more than 98,000,000 TH/s, the hash rate plummeted to 57,700,000 TH/s.

However, the reason for the decline remains unknown and is all the more striking. And this was because of the record-breaking string of new all-time high hash rates of Bitcoin network during summer.

Aside from that, having a higher hash rate means greater competition with miners to validate new blocks. And it also increases the number of resources needed for performing a 51% attack. As a result, this made the network more secure.

Fortunately, the hash rate of Bitcoin is slowly recovering from its loss.

Similarly, Bitcoin, back in November 2017, experienced an unforeseen hash rate downturn of nearly 50%. At the same time, slow transaction processing times, a price dip, and minor’s momentary switch over the forked network, Bitcoin Cash (BCH), accompanied the matter.
