Bitcoin’s value against the U.S. dollar lost 7.3% during the last 24 hours after more than $600 million in value was removed from the $1.07 trillion crypto economy. Statistics show that a number of bitcoin miners capitulated over the last two weeks, selling 5,925 bitcoin worth millions, according to cryptoquant.com data.
Bitcoin’s U.S. dollar value slid from $23,593 per unit to $21,268 per coin at 8:30 a.m. (EST) on Friday morning. More than $600 million has been erased from the crypto economy during the last day as BTC lost 7.3% and ETH shed 7.4%. A number of other coins lost value against the U.S. dollar as well as BNB dipped by 5%, XRP slipped by 9%, and ADA lost 10.3% during the past 24 hours.
The end of a miner capitulation historically marks a bear market bottom.
Using the current difficulty parameter, BTC’s current market value and a cost of around $0.12 per kilowatt hour (kWh), a Bitmain Antminer S19 XP with 140 terahash per second (TH/s) can get an estimated $4.85 per day in profit. The Microbt Whatsminer M50S launched in July with 126 TH/s can get an estimated $2.74 per day in profit, according to current market statistics.
