Bitcoin miners are facing renewed financial pressure as declining transaction fees and a hashprice drop push operational costs higher, according to TheMinerMag’s February 2025 report. Bitcoin’s hashrate climbed 3.8% in February to 810 EH/s, showing a slowdown in mining competition growth. However, the hashprice (the revenue that miners earn per unit of computing power) slipped to $45/PH/s, wiping out gains from the U.S. election-driven price surge. At this level, inefficient miners are feeling the strain. Transaction fees made up just 1.3% of total block rewards in February, marking their lowest share since the last bear market bottom in 2022. March…

It might have been fake news, but it was apropos commentary on yesterday’s celebrations among a curious type of pro-RFK bitcoin (BTC) maximalist. Despite his cabinet position being far beneath the presidency to which he originally aspired, Bitcoiners still celebrated his appointment and Senate confirmation. Although he’s tasked with roles having nothing to do with BTC, the US Treasury, the Commerce Department, or the Federal Reserve, RFK Jr. has…

The Runes Protocol, a Bitcoin-based fungible token standard, has unveiled a major upgrade introducing “agents” to enable Automated Market Makers (AMMs) directly on Bitcoin’s (BTC) Layer 1. This development aims to enhance decentralized trading capabilities while maintaining Bitcoin’s security and trustless nature. Casey Rodarmor, the creator of Runes, announced the upgrade on March 20. The agents utilize an “interactive transaction construction” mechanism to allow market makers to add liquidity to Runes AMMs in a trustless manner. The feature is designed to tackle inefficiencies in Bitcoin-based token trading, such as “batch splitting” and “mempool front-running,” which have previously hindered seamless on-chain…
